Just used ONR for the first time and I'm blown away! I'll never use regular wash again it's that good. Crazy as I've been washing and detailing since I was 13 and this is leaps and bounds betters and easier.

That was on my list of things to try, so I'll be getting some this weekend. I tried meguires wash and wax. I was happy with it but wanted more shine.

I have always had amazing luck with an orange pad and Menzerna FG400. It cuts great and finishes out very good. I have used it as a 1 step polish and been very happy with my results.

Got lazy didn't feel like typing it out, my bad! Definitely a fan of using it and can clean the whole truck in 35 mins, meaning in that time truck is clean and I'm done and inside.

I just got some optimum no rinse, any tips for best results? Do you rinse the car first? Or just wash and dry with the ONR?

ONR can be used as waterless wash or rinseless wash. There are directions on the bottle. Rinseless wash requires plenty of quality microfiber towels. Yes you can rinse your vehicle first to knock off the large debris

What you should do is the Garry Dean method on YouTube. This seems to be the best method. I was careless this last time and didn't presoak the paint with onr diluted in a spray bottle, and I ended putting some small scratches in the roof and hood, but that's my fault for being careless. Look up the Garry Dean method on YouTube, it's the way I'll be doing it from now on to ensure you're not scratching or using dirty towels.

Thanks for the tip. I bought my truck used, it has scratches, and its silver. I'm not looking to have a perfect finish, but living in an apartment this actually will be an easier way to get a good wash done.

Try ONR for a rinseless wash. Best used with microfiber cloths
