Do you prefer "No-Rinse" over Conventional Car Wash?

You can wash a really dirty car with ONR..... BUT... you have to use a LOT of water and a wash mitt or huge microfiber that will hold a quart of water. I've done my vehicles with ONR when they were filty and covered with salt, mud and dirt. I used about 3 gallons of ONR/water for the job. (Outdoor winter wash).

For a filthy vehicle in spring/summer/fall, Ill do a conventional wash/foam gun every time!

I agree with Bill, that you need to use more ONR/Water mixture then normal use. I would also suggest, if washing a very dirty car, pre-soak with ONR at QD strength, and then do the ONR wash as normal.

e.

:DTrue. It it's really dirty, put some ONR in a spray bottle and presoak each panel for a few minutes before washing.

I find my self using No-rinse car wash products because they are so quick and easy!!!!

No hose, no mess, no waste of water, no water spots...

BUT! There's nothing quite like a nice super-sudsy car wash to know your car is really clean!:D

Which do you prefer?;)

I bought some and have not used it yet. If you have hard water will it still be water spot free?

The ONR will certainly help with the hard water and spotting. However if you let it dry, you might get a little bit of spotting, but then you can wipe it off with a little QD.
 
I purchased a gallon of ONR months ago, but still haven't gotten around to try it. I just can't seem to put down my water hose nozzle, plus every time I even think of using the ONR, a little voice in my head tells me that I won't get my car as clean as if using a the traditional two bucket method with water hose and all. Plus I'm still a bit nervous that I may induce swirls on my finish, absurd, I know, but the fear is still there. The nozzle is like "Crack" I can't seem to get over the addiction.

At this point it's like ONR and my Water Hose are battling it out. :StarWars: I just don't know if I want to succumb to the dark side.

Erik,
If you are nervous about using ONR, take baby steps. Wash your car the standard way. The following week, if your car just needs a quick touch-up, try the ONR. You will truly be amazed at how well this product works. Will it do as good a job as a standard wash? No, but there are many times when a standard wash is not practicle, and you need to wash it. It will save you time, and it will save you money (ONR has many uses). Provided you are careful about your technique, you should not get any induced swirls. Don't scrub the paint with it. Glide your wash media gently over the paint in the same direction. If it does not come clean in the first pass, go over it again. It is also a good idea to use a Grit Guard.

Just try it, and I'm sure you will be impressed.
 
i like and use onr for quick clean up when its too bad to wipe clean and i don't have time for a thorough wash, but there's nothing like pulling out the foam cannon for a feeling of competely clean paint.
