I plan on starting an eco-friendly mobile detailing business. But i was curious to know if onr or any other rinseless wash will work well on boats. I haven't found a video of anyone using a rinseless wash on a boat yet. But i am just curious to know. I know washing an detailing a boat is different than a car, so there might be a product out there i haven't heard about yet.
Does ONR or any other rinseless wash work on boats?

It works great on grease and grime, not sure how it would work on algae and stuff. QEW was marketed to the RV crowd, that might work too.

Neglected boats will need more ooomff. But for maintenence I've had good results on all these hard surfaces:
I use a series of tools attached to an extension pole, then fasten a drying towel to the tools to wipe off.

Depending on how dirty the exterior surface is, you should look into a powerwasher.

I'm guessing English isn't your primary language?
The term "ooomff," or the more common spelling "oomph," is slang used to describe power, strength, or hard work/effort. Chris wasn't referring to any product, he was just stating that "You'll need a more powerful solution than ONR if the boat is particularly dirty/neglected."
If your looking for something to clean and maintain an already detailed finish, then yes ONR and most waterless wash products will work fine for boats and marine the same as for automotive. However if your looking to restore or clean a boat that has a poor finish or has excessive build up of salt, algae oil or anything else then the answer is no and in most cases you will have to look at stronger cleaning solutions.
Do yourself a favour and don't over complicate it, for the most part cleaning boats is much the same as for cars.
