Review: A Total Game-Changer for Careful, DIY Car Detailing - I’ll admit—I was skeptical of this at first. A rinseless wash sounded like a recipe for swirl marks, especially on darker paint. But I’m very particular about how my vehicles are cared for, and after doing a deep dive into proper technique (and seeing how many serious detailers rely on this), I decided it was time to try it for myself. I detail my own vehicles whenever possible—most recently my black, new-to-me 2019 Sequoia—because I’ve seen firsthand what automatic car washes can do to paint. I’m also considering starting a mobile detailing business, so learning efficient, paint-safe systems like this really matters to me. Used correctly, this product is impressive. The solution is extremely slick, and with quality microfiber towels and light pressure, dirt lifts away far more easily than you’d expect. The key is good technique—working top to bottom, using clean towels frequently, and never scrubbing. When done that way, I’ve had zero issues with scratching or hazing, even on black paint where flaws show instantly. I also love how versatile this is. It works beautifully as: a true rinseless wash a pre-soak for lightly dirty panels a quick detailer at higher dilution Not needing a hose is a huge bonus—especially for winter, water restrictions, or quick maintenance washes. It also uses very little water, which I appreciate. Another standout is how clean the finish looks afterward. The paint feels smooth, looks glossy, and dries without residue when you don’t overdo the product. Less really is more here. This isn’t a shortcut product—it rewards care and attention—but for anyone serious about maintaining paint safely at home, this absolutely earns a permanent spot in my detailing supplies. It’s efficient, economical, and surprisingly satisfying to use once you trust the process.
Review: Awesome stuff! - Update: When your car is only lightly dirty (nowhere near the level of filth in my photos), I highly recommend using a garden pump sprayer to get the job done. I use the Chapin 2 gallon sprayer (from Menards or any home improvement store) filled with regular water and 4.5 capfuls of ONR. I used a few microfiber towels to clean the car. I dried it with the Aquis waffle weave towel, and used Chemical Guys' new Blazin' Banana Spray Wax to finish it off. You can wipe down your car very quickly with this method, but the Chapin sprayer really shines when used to clean wheels and tires. I wanted something that could rinse the Super Clean off the tires easily, because spraying them with a spray bottle is far too tedious/time consuming. I used about 1.5 gallons for the entire wash. ONR is a great product for maintaining a nice finish in winter, but I can't wait to try mixing it with a normal car soap. I will update my review again when the weather's nice enough to bring out the hose! --------- Sure, automatic car washes exist. They're great for getting salt off the undercarriage. But nothing beats the satisfaction of making your car shine in the comfort of your own garage, at least in my opinion. I was skeptical about ONR for the longest, but after letting my car go unwashed for over a month, it was time to go ahead and try it out. I wrote out my method and additional products used, but I think the before and after pictures speak for themselves. I pre-soaked one side of the car at a time, mixing 32oz of distilled water and 4 capfuls (2oz) of ONR in a spray bottle. I used two buckets and a handful of microfiber towels to get the job done. The wash bucket had 3 gallons of hot water mixed with 3 capfuls (1.5oz) of ONR. The rinse bucket had about 3.5 gallons of hot water with nothing added. After letting the pre-soak dwell for a couple of minutes, I started from the top and worked my way down to the dirtiest parts. Weeks worth of heavy salt, snow and mud simply glided off with very light pressure. No scrubbing was ever needed, and that's what really shocked me about this product. It made the water so unbelievably slick, I no longer had fears of scratching the mess out of my paint. I finished the body within an hour of very careful cleaning. I dried each panel with the Aquis waffle weave towel (yes, it's marketed towards hair use, but it does an amazing job of drying the car!) There was no residue left behind, the paint looked and felt clean. I used the ONR pre-soak spray on my wheels, and it did a good job with the use of a wet microfiber towel. For the tires, I used Super Clean degreaser full strength with a wet firm-bristle brush. I recommend the Tuf Shine brush, it's very comfortable in the hand and scrubs tires well. I finished up with Griots Spray-on Wax and Meguiar's Dub Tire Shine. Overall I'm very impressed with ONR and will definitely keep using it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the instructions for use? Do you just spray it on with a spray bottle and let it sit/air dry?**
A: Here's what most pros do.
1.  Mix 2 cap-fulls of product in 2 gallons of water
2.  Soak several micro-fiber towels or The Big Red Sponge or a good quality micro fiber wash mitt
3.  Get a clean/empty spray bottle and fill it with your bucket of correctly mixed product
4.  Work from the top down, spray a coating on one area/panel at a time (ie half the top, half the hood, front door, etc.)
5. Wipe that area with your towel/sponge - use very light pressure as the ONR has polymers to effectively lift off and encapsulate the dirt while providing a lubricant.
6. Now dry that same area with a dry micro fiber towel.  The ONR will leave leave behind a light protective coating to help make this even easier for the following wash.
7. Repeat on other panels

This is so easy to use.  I find myself using it instead of conventional washes even when water is plentiful.  Also, a little goes a long way.  Measure 2 gallons on your bucket and that is more than enough to do a standard car (plus fill your spray bottle).

I often will just use the spray bottle to do quick detailing our touch-ups.  I use it you remove minor dust or a bird dropping.  This is great stuff!  Good luck and have fun!

**Q: Does this product remove wax each time you use it? Does it have detergent properties or does it leave a light coat of wax or polymer?**
A: It doesn't have "detergents" like one thinks of. It's hard to explain, but it has polymers in it that "encapsulate"dirt particles so they don't scratch when wiped off. It does not remove wax, nor does it leave anything behind. I am kind of picky about how I treat my paint. I have used this product I three ways:1- as labeled- a "no-rinse" wash (works well when vehicle is only superficially dirty/dusty).2- as a more traditional "wash & rinse" for regular car wash. Very gentile but does an excellent job, even for very dirty vehicles. 3- diluted according to directions as a spray detailer. Again, great product.

**Q: I live in socal (severe drought) if I were to use this, how many washes should I be able to do with a 32 oz bottle of ONR? I have a '14 genesis coupe.**
A: Meh, don't listen to any of them! Good, but narrow advice. Look up the "Garry Dean Wash Method". I use a 5-gallon bucket filled with 4 gallons of water, 2 oz of solution, and a ton of microfiber towels. I can get 10 or more washes out of each bucket using this method. Which means, a 32 oz bottle should last you 160 car washes. If you washed your car weekly, that would be 3 years per bottle. Or, get 32 washes like these guys.

**Q: would you say this is the best all around and economical product to use as a quick detail spray and clay lube concentrate?**
A: I've never clay lubed my vehicle, so, I can't say on that. I use mine in the garage during the winter. I spray first then wet a towel with the mixture and slowly wipe any grime off. For what I use it for it works. I like to keep my car clean but I don't go much farther then the average clean job. I don't full detail my car very often. Ultimately, I can't fully answer your questions, but I like the product. You only need a little per gallon. It's economical and gets the job done on winter grime. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A new way to wash your car
*by J***N on November 7, 2010*

I will start off by saying that I was skeptical of this product initially. If you're not familiar with what is different about this product from a traditional car wash soap, it is designed to be "rinseles," in that you dunk your wash cloth, wash mitt, or whatever you're using to wash your car, into the bucket and wipe the dirt off your car. The wet towel goes back into the bucket and you dry immediately with a separate towel. When I first heard about this, I didn't really think that it would be possible for a product like this to work without scratching the paint on your car. It just doesn't seem to make sense that you can take a wash mitt and wipe dirt off without having done an initial rinse to get the majority of the dirt particles off first. The product apparently has "polymers" in it that encapsulate the dirt and prevent scratching. I don't know if that's actually the case or how the chemistry of the product works, but after reading a lot of other reviews from people on auto-detailing forums, seeing testimonials from professional detailers, and seeing the results on cars such as Ferraris, Porsches, and Aston Martins, I figured that there has to be something to this. You literally just need a bucket and your wash mitt and drying towel. No hose necessary. And for someone who lives in an apartment complex, this is great. Also, you save water, which is an added benefit. You only use 2 gallons to fill the bucket as opposed to rinsing your car with who knows how many gallons of water. In addition to its "revolutionary" qualities, it's just a great car wash as well. It removes any dirt I've run into on my vehicle and leaves the car extremely shiny. If used correctly, it leaves no scratches or "swirl marks." And this is one area where I think a word of caution is appropriate. Do yourself a favor and buy a quality wash mitt and quality drying towel. Most of the stuff you can buy in auto stores is just not good and may do damage to your paint by leaving scratches. But if you spend a little bit of money on some nice towels, this product will work great for you. Also, I'd say don't scrub or apply a lot of pressure when wiping the dirt off. This goes for any car wash, but in most instances, simply swiping over the car panel will be sufficient. I'd also suggest wiping of an area slightly larger than you're going to dry, to prevent dirt from surrounding panels getting into your drying cloth. If you're using the product correctly, all the dirt will be encapsulated within the wash mitt and bucket, and your drying towel should remain completely clean. One of the touted benefits of this wash is that it saves time. This part of the product's benefits I have not really noticed. I find that it generally takes me the same amount of time to do my whole car. Ultimately, this is a great product, and it's worth a try. It's not only one of the best car washes I've used, it's also friendly to the environment.
