Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR) Reviews

Still the goat! Nothing beats the technology of the original ONR. Best rinsless in the game

Use ONR regularly. My personal vehicle has a ceramic coating, ONR is my go-to when I don't want to a full two bucket wash. It leaves my vehicle looking super nice and shiny.

This is a very good product when you travel. For every week maintenance wise it does the job in 3 gallons of water.

ONR has been part of my detailing arsenal for several years. It's so versatile that I find myself reaching for it more often than not.

great product. use as detailer and car wash. works very well with ceramic coatings and PPF

I just got the updated Onr. After depleting my last gallon. Have tried many different manufacturers detailing products but I always come back to Optimum. This new formulation is awesome. Definitely more slick and left a nice glossy finish.
A winner in my opinion. Get it. Especially from DI. Great company top notch service.

ONR is the staple to my rinseless detailing business. I use it to wash cars, clean pads, clean interiors, its my #1 glass cleaner, its a clay lube, I clean my wood floors at home with, I wipe off counters with it, I clean glass at home with it. It's fantastic in so many ways with the 256:1 dilution ratio. Great stuff!

Probably the best single multi use chemical available period rinseless wash glass int cleaner water softener if could only have 1 chemical this would be it

Excellent product.
It really excel's when wiping down fabric seats.

Wanted a product I could use to spot treat or during the cold winter months. Used it on my show truck that is sitting due to upgrades. Very impressed with the ease of use. Leaves paint clean and glossy. I will use this product to clean my wife's SUV during the winter inside our garage.

Love the product. Once mixed up we put some in a spray bottle for quick clean up like bird poop and bug removal. Works great. Great product.

ONR is the best there is out there. So glad that I found this. It just works! This is one item I cannot leave out of my arsenal of products. Very versatile, which makes it such a wonderful product to use. Been using this on 2 cars and am very satisfied with the results. Will not induce any swirls while using the product. I also dilute this in my regular car wash soap for added benefits.

This stuff (ONR) is magic. I fell in love with the waterless until i tried this rinse less wash. My time cleaning cars has just been halved.

What can I say that others have not said? It works. This is a very versatile product that can be used as a quick detailer, clay lube, waterless wash and rinse less wash. Will this replace a traditional wash? No, but it is so well reviewed for good reason. This stuff does a good job at multiple roles.

I'm not one who needed the water saving capabilities of this product. I love it for its spot free uses as a drying aid and its lubricity as a quick detailer/clay lube. A little goes a long way. Great stuff!

I have been using ONR for about six years now.

As soon as I got it, ONR instantly because the heart and soul of my operation. I used it in such a wide variety of applications that it became indispensable. From it's intended use as a rinseless wash to clay lube, to interior and window cleaner, and beyond. We've used it around the house to clean for years.

Optimum recently disclosed that they have updated the formula. I don't have it in circulation in my garage yet, but the shop where I help out part time does, and it's just awesome! Talk about making a great thing better.

Because I'm mostly using Optimum products ONR isn't looking to be replaced any time soon.

Using ONR on a vehicle protected with an Optimum wax, sealant, or coating is a beautiful experience. It feels like the paint is giving the ONR, all of it's dirt and grime in a friendly exchange. No struggles or fighting to scrub it off.

An added bonus is the scent. It smells like it would taste amazing - but it probably doesn't!

First time using this ONR and let me tell ya awesome I was skeptical at first but this stuff is great I was the crazy guy going to the car wash with my buckets and supplies early early in the morning this not only saves me time but saves me from freezing my butt off outside now I do it in the garage and as long as you keep up with your truck this stuff is great what a shine it leaves behind but my opinion if your car or truck is real dirty pre rinse it first but I will be buying again this is my go stuff for the winter

Great product for washing vehicles in garage

Great value. Diluted 3:1 and use it to clean all crevasse on my cars, clean bird droppings, etc. Smells great!

Tried the 32oz container first and ordered a gallon because it works so well. No need to worry about water spots as this will soften the water. Works well as a clay lube and detail spray. Smells amazing.

My favorite way to wash a car. Went ahead and ordered the gallon cause it's such an amazing product

Works great!!...Smells good!!

This mixed with distilled water is one of the best window cleaners I have ever used. This is such a versatile product with so many wonderful uses. One of the best products I have ever bought.

Extremely versatile product. Easy to use and smells great!

Mixed 32:1 with distilled water makes the absolute best bug remover I have ever used

What is there not to say about ONR that hasn't already been said. It leaves my paint with a clean, smooth finish. I finish things off with BeadMaker and my car looks like new everytime.

does a great job, very satisfied with the ease, look and feel when finished!

I've been using this as a winter wash for a while now, and it really works well. It dries easily, and leaves a great shine.It even does well on the windows! I was pretty skeptical about swirls at first, but after 2 winters on 2 cars, I see no negative effects on either, and it gives me a great head start on the spring details. They only concession I make when the car is really in bad shape after a storm, is to use a coin operated wash to get the worst of the salt and Mag Chloride off before I do my "garage wash".

I've used ONR for years now. I keep a couple bottles mixed up in different sprayers for a quick cleanup area, clean up wheels, clay lube,etc. I use it more for those types of things than actual no rinse car washes, but in the winter time I will use it as a no rinse wash after going to a spray car wash to knock the worst of it off. I make sure to always keep a bottle of ONR on hand!

Amazing and a "must have" product in your detail arsenal. Hands down one of the most economical and versatile products. So if you are looking or in need of a wash-less wash, quick detailer, clay lube or even add a half or full cap full to your wash bucket to boost ya wash then look no further than ONR.

I've been using ONR for awhile now,fantastic product! Keep car garaged, so if it has a light film of dust I can wash in the garage, spray ONR on let it dwell and wipe of filled by a light buff. It leaves the car glossy slick with UV protectent.

What can I possibly say about this superb product?!!? It's fantastic. Affordable, works great, excellent shine. Read reviews, watch the numerous YouTube videos and jump in! You'll be blown away. Gentle to no pressure with quality towels equals clean, shiny car. This is car washing 2.0. That's not to say a two bucket wash is needed occasionally. To me that's the only to really clear out hidden brake dust---a hose and wheel brush. I do this monthly and rinseless washes for the next three weeks

Pros: Excellent value. Superb shine. Fast. Use less water

Cons: wheels still need strong water stream and wheel brush to fully remove brake dust. This is about the only (and I wont say the word "negative") I can think of.

Makes washing a car easy. Seems dirt doesn't stick to the surface as easily and the shine is great.

I love this product. When diluted properly it works great. It's my new go to product for rinseless and waterless washes when I cannot use water in parking garages or when it's too cold out. Will be purchasing the largest size next time it's a great product I wish I had used a long time ago

This stuff is MAGIC in a bottle. Lasts for a long time and is amazing when used as a window cleaner. Make sure you get the optimum spray wax to go without when used as a Rinseless wash.

I have been washing my personal cars for years...and just discovered ONR. Can I just say, WOW, what a great product! Fantastic to wash my car in 20 minutes. I do the wheels first, with a different product. Once that's over, I wash the rest of my car with ONR. After reading some use tips, I also bought a couple smaller bottles so I don't have to measure anything. My new favorite car wash product for sure!

To sum it up, if you don't have it yet, then buy it, a must have with so many uses.

I have gone waterless here in Southern California thanks to ONR. This product is a no rinse wash, spray detail, and clay lube all in one. It just depends on how you dilute it. I love this product and purchase it by the gallon.

I read about Optimum No Rinse (ONR) on a few forums and decided to give the product a try. I have only used it to wash my car, which was sealed with Klasse High Gloss Sealant, and the ONR cleaned the car well. I liked the smell, I did enjoy having the car clean in about 15 to 20 minutes. I did wash the car top down and then I cleaned the wheels using a different wash mitt. Overall, it is a good product. Would I buy it again? I think so, but I also like the Meguiar's Express Wash.

Great product, almost out, will buy again soon.

Pros: Super concentrated. Adds great shine to the vehicle. Save water. Easy to use. Very economical

Cons: I have issues with it drying on tinted windows making polymer spots, BUT, works super well on paint.

Tried this product for the first time cause it was on sale. Glad I purchased it. Such a great product with so many uses. So far I used it as a clay bar lube, and a quick detailer. I also put a capful in my wash bucket when I wash my truck. I feel it gives me that extra protection from the slickness it provides. Smells great as well and a little goes a long way. No cons so far.

I use it for washing all my cars, spot detailing, cleaning windows (inside and outside) between washings, and as a lub for clay bar application. It loosens dirt from the surface so it can be washed or wiped away. It is even very good at removing bug remains (I only use a tar & bug remover occasionally on the more stubborn remnants). A good lub so it keeps me from leaving scratches. Good at loosening heavy dirt from the surfaces of my daily ride, too. I am able to do all this with minimal water usage: I just rinse off loose road debris and dust with a hose to avoid scratching and then wash the wet surface with a sheep skin wash mitt ( rinsed in another bucket with a screen regularly to get particles off) and wipe up the water and soap lightly with a dry to damp microfiber towel, and then wipe off any streaks or missed water with a finer microfiber towel. Has never spotted the finish, but I always use it in the shade. Great stuff!!!

This is hands down one of the most economical and versatile products in my arsenal. I use it for so many different things - QD, clay lube, rinseless wash, drying aid, shampoo additive. Very valuable tool.

Window cleaner, wash solution, clay lube, interior wipe down solution, etc. etc. a must have for anyone who cares for their own vehicle.

Can never go wrong with ONR. I use it for a variety of things. Interior glass, interior doors, and of course exterior to wash or even use it as a drying aide and lube for claying.

Just try it, works as advertised . First used it on my black, 11 yr old daily driver (last washed two weeks prior). Next day a friend asked where I got the car detailed! Use it on all three cars now, can do two on a bucket. Only car wash I'll use now, no more dragging the hose from back of house.

One product that can do many things!

I love this stuff! It is the only wash product I use. So nice to be able to wash in the garage. I also think it is the best window cleaner available and a good interior cleaner I like being able to cut down on the number of products I need as a hobby detailer and weekend warrior. It's also a great household cleaner. After years of struggling with a streaky glass stovetop and microwave, I have found that ONR solves all those problems.

This is my go to product for mobile washing. A little goes a long way. You won't regret this purchase!

I am a first time user of ONR. I used it after watching a YouTube demonstration of the two-bucket wash method. ONR performs exactly as advertised and the product is highly recommended. It is an impressive product and I was especially impressed with its use on glass.

I live in California which is experiencing significant drought conditions so this product is extremely beneficial. It was recommended to me by a detailer and I am glad he did so. I used the product recently on all 3 cars and was extremely pleased with the results. Using this product I was able to wash the cars with minimal water consumption and in a short period of time. It was very easy to use for this first time user of the product. Dipped my microfiber towel in the solution, applied to car and then wiped clean with another microfiber towel.

I've been using ONR for the past three years and it really works great. Some folks use the two bucket method but I just use one. Saturate a microfiber wash mitt, wash a panel, rinse the mitt and wring it out and go over the panel again. One word of precaution. If the car is really dirty (caked salt, dirt, etc) I take the vehicle to a self service car wash and spray it off to get off the caked on dirt. Then use the ONR as described above. This is the best product I've found.....and I'm old (71) and have detailing my cars since I was 16.

Love this stuff! Perfect for winter time garage washes. No garden hose needed.

Tried it out for some cold weather conditions and it worked perfectly. No streaks, no scratches, no ice, and very slick. There is absolutely nothing I didn't like about it. I will now never go without having ONR in my line up.

ONR was the first rinseless wash that I tried and I%u2019ve felt no need to try others. Quality and ease of use are excellent. I strongly recommend pre-wetting each panel with ONR solution in a garden sprayer or spray bottle, and very dirty vehicles should be rinsed before using ONR (but a rinse is not required after). Excellent when used with an Optimum LSP (like Opti-Seal)-ONR seems to %u2018top up%u2019 protection from Optimum LSP%u2019s.

I loved this so much because of the versatility, I bought the ONR W&Wax! Great product!

Definitely an essential in my line up. Serves a multitude of purposes. Great value.

Great rinseless wash that works well as a waterless wash and quick detailer. It can do it all. Great way to maintain Optimum Gloss Coat as well as other coatings, waxes and sealants. Leaves a nice shine and slickness.

This stuff works awesome. I use a two bucket wash method with it and it make cleaning my car effortless. I guess I should start buying the larger jug.

Product works awesome! Watch video on youtube and go. You will love all their products.

Used this like a quick detailer. 2 oz. mixed to a gallon of water. My motorcycle with light dust from winter storage. Just spray and wipe entire bike with microfiber towels. easy and clean.Smells good too.

I first purchased a 32oz bottle of ONR from DI to give the product ago. Needless to say I recently purchased the gallon! It does work extremely well and as described. To say it encapsulates the dirt is 100% accurate to me. I prefer the sheepskin thumb-less for my ONR washes because of the softness, how easy it is need to see the buildup before switching to the other side of the mitt, and how well it is to see how clean it is after using the grit guard.

I'm a DIY guy, only do our personal vehicles and a few family members vehicles. I went from spending 2+ hours washing to just around 45 minutes! (That's just washing exterior) Tremendous time saver!

ONR is, without a doubt, one of the most versatile products one can have in their detailing arsenal. I can count on one hand the number of times I had to do a conventional wash on a vehicle prior to detailing it, including my own in the last year.

Works great without any apparent scratching after using for over a year. It's perfect in San Jose because we have drought restrictions. I can wash my car in my garage without using a hose.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about this. I used this today since it was about 20 degrees outside and was warmer in my garage. It really does release contaminants nicely and even made a great clay bar lube. It wipes off easily and gives a great shine. I think that this will be my go to product in cold weather. The only con about it is that it needs a nice smell to it. That is all. Happy detailing everybody.

I used this, yesterday, in garage after big snowstorm. I love it...bought awhile, ago, and never tried. Highly recommend. I was surprised at how well it worked removing salt & dirt. I used a microfiber towel to wash and another to dry...amazing. I will use a lot & love it.

works great. use it after washing for a spotless finish.

Works well for rinseless washes. I use it in conjunction with the Lake County Grout Sponge.

Since purchasing I have started doing rinseless washes more often and I'm leaning towards them for lightly soiled cars.

No Rinse works great and is a great way to wash your car in the garage, out of the sun since it requires very little water and doesn't require rinsing. I definitely will be using this quite a bit this winter.

Works as described

We use as our clay lube. Very cost effective!

Pros: Easy, affordable, a bottle lasts forever, cleans great and leaves no streaks or spots!
Cons: None...well, maybe the tall bottle might not fit on some shelves haha.

I originally got this a few years back when I was in an Apartment. It was perfect! Nowadays I use a wash mit and water or some CG stuff to get off tuff grime, mud and tar, clean tires etc. then I go over the whole car with this amazing NO Rinse. And dry any tight spots with a microfiber towel.
It's so awesome, especially on hot days where you'd normally be worried about soap drying and waterspots, not with this. :)
I have recommended this stuff to multiple poeple and let them try it and they love it! I use about a capful per 3gal bucket. Id say its a must for car lovers of ANY level.

Use the ONR&S for 1. clay lubrication and 2. drying the car. The way to dry it is to soak and squeeze out a microfiber cloth in water and spray a wash-level solution of ONRS onto another microfiber towel. Then run the damp cloth over the wet car and follow up with the ONSR infused towel. Safest way to prevent water spots and get a beautiful shine on your car.

Man what can I say. This product is awesome I love it. Sorry I cant post any pictures, but if you want to go rinseless you should get this product.

I am so glad I found this product. I was searching for ways to remove swirl marks and a link to this product came up to use after swirl marks were taken care of. I liked the video I watched and decided to buy the smaller size bottle. I also bought the wash mitt and the waffle weave towel. I love it. It works just like promised, very easy, and leaves a beautiful shine. I have some of the product in a squirt bottle mixed with water to use as a quick detailer. I really like not having to use a water hose. This is so much easier. I will definitely buy again and am looking at some of the other products.

Incredibly effective. First time I've used a product like this that doesn't require a hose to wash my car. Works great. I ordered the gallon size then realized that it will last for a LOT of washes (only 1 oz is needed for a wash), so should have gone with the smaller size. But a great product.

I'm using this for a clay bar lube and it works excellent. Very economical product for me.

Must have for any detailer. Works great for a spot wash, or for a quick detailer. Also heard it's a great clay lube, will be using it as soon as I run out of my current stock of clay lube.

I was very surprised at the super slickness of this product. The term high lubricity certainly applies here. ONR helped me remove heavy dirt from driving in snow slush (those of you living in snow areas are familiar with how much dirt gets on your car when it snows) without a scratch and left a very slick shiny coating. Very economical in terms of product and H2O. The DI bucket w/screen also helped in this process.

ONR is a awesome product with a lot of uses, must have for any detailers. I add 1 oz to my soap bucket and I love it for a detail spray & clay lube.

One of the best wash products on the market. I started using it primarily during the winter, but as I tried other products this one always won. During summer time, the only shaded area to wash my car is my garage. I have washed my car 10+ times with ONR and have always been happy with it. It is a very versatile product which makes it great. You can use it for general washing, spot treatment, clay lube, etc. This is a product that i will never be without. Period.

I bought this mainly for winter use.... however after using it today to do a wash and wax on a 2010 black escape being dirty from rain. I was able to use this product to clean the car extremely fast had no issue's with scratching and it gave a great shine. I applied poorboy's world natty blue and the car was done easy within 30-45 mins from start to finish! Must for a detailers arsenal!

This is the perfect solution right now living in California and the drought that is here. All it takes is 2 gallons of water to wash your car. This cleans your car just like a regular wash with hardly any water. I was afraid it could cause scratches by not washing the dirt off first, but no scratches. Highly recommended.

If you don't know about this product learn. Its a must have in both a professional and home detailers arsenal. Works great in the colder months for anyone that wants to keep their cars looking great while not having to worry about your car freezing up from using the local car wash. Follow the directions and you will not have any issues and will be pleasantly surprised by the ease and results

ONR is great for cleaning the cars in the garage in the winter when its just too cold to wash outside. I also use it as a lubricant when I clay my cars and as a pre-wash rinse using my sprayer during the regular wash season.

Awesome product, it has revolutionized the way I care for my car. As an apartment dweller, hose washing isn't an option without incurring a nastygram from the mgmt. so I decided to try ONR inside my one car garage. Magic! I use it as directed except I use 4 oz. in a five gallon wash pail and I pre-mist each section with a spray bottle containing a solution with a slightly higher concentration of ONR. The only thing you can't do is blast out the wheel wells, but otherwise the car comes out looking perfect. I will be buying more!

This product works very well. Just don`t use more than the suggested amount when mixing with water because it stained my laser red paint. I had to vigorously use Meguiars High Tech Yellow No. 26 polish to remove the stains. It works well on all types of car surfaces including windows. It smells great too.

This waterless rinse works very good. It removes the dirt from the surface without scratching or leaving swirls. Also it leaves a nice shine with a slippery surface. This product will maintain the waxed or sealed surface already on the vehicle. You will get better results with the grit guard and the wool mitt. This will eliminate the swirls.

ONR is my top-shelf product for my personal cars. I have suggested ONR to all friends and clients and they not only thank me for the great suggestion, but they even tell me when they are hitting up their car with ONR (as if I need to know). I have a daily driver and a garage queen and I have no issues with getting road grime off the daily and I have no scratches or blemishes on the weekender. I'm amazed at the shine and even more amazed at how dirty the DI Rethickulous mf towel gets. There are never any water spots. The windows are so clean on the outside that I usually have to hit the inside of the glass with Stoner's Invisible Glass and a normal mf towel. There are never any water spots, which is a huge plus over a normal 2 bucket wash. I do one panel at a time and immediately pat-dry with a waffle weave mf towel. I was skeptical at first, but bought this product last year because it was a nasty cold winter and I needed a way to clean without using the hose. After the first use, I went back to DI and bought a gallon. This product goes a long way and I'd have to say that even my friends and family notice that my cars are now always clean... I must admit that the ONR scent is alluring. This is a painless wash method. Afterward, I usually maintain my mf towels with the mf cleaner and conditioner and toss it in the washer. For really dirty jobs (such as after a rain storm), I soak the mf towels in a fresh wash bucket with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash prior to putting them in the washer and use the mf cleaner and conditioner. For really stubborn spots and bird droppings, I have a 4:10 mixture in a spray bottle and attack with a pre-soak and a mf towel or Lake Country Grout Sponge if there's any tar. Most of the stuff I mentioned was included in a DI wash kit, and it's been the best investment ever!

Simply Amazing!!! Save yourself the trouble and just buy the big bottle! Hard water is no match for this stuff! The gloss this product leaves behind is really stunning!

Great product. Concentrated solution dilutes down amazingly to create clay lube and Q.D.

I have been detailing cars for 10+ years and this stuff is by far one of the coolest products I have ever used. I used to quick detail my summer car in the garage after it got a little dusty from a spirited drive. Now I use ONR and it cleans the paint better and easier with no chance of scratching the paint. I recommend this to anyone that can't always dedicate an hour or two to traditional washing. Optimum ceases to amaze me with their great products!

This is absolutely the best car wash product I have ever used. I am a 60+ woman and always wash my car myself, no car washes for me. I am able to actually was my car while in the garage and I do not need and extra "muscle" to get the dirt off the car. I have recommended this product to my friends.

Great wash for a black vehicle! Will buy again!

Tried this based on a detailer friends reccomendation, so glad I did, don't need to use much and car came out smooth and clean.

Very slippery, smells good, versatile use for QD, clay lube, and rinseless wash. Perfect for Garry Dean method!

good stuff. best bang for the buck.

FYI, a tablespoon is 1/2 an ounce for a gallon jug for those who want to use it as a wash per their dilution formula of 1oz/2gal. A gallon will do an entire midsize car for sure with some leftover if you follow the Garry Dean wash method (google/youtube).

Love these types of concentrates that have multiple uses.

I've only used this as a clay lube so far, but mixed per the instructions on the bottle it worked great. Can't wait to try it as a rinseless wash, qd, and I believe I've heard its good for window cleaning too.

A lot of products over promise and under deliver. This is not one of them. It does everything you think it will and more. Not much more to say that hasn't already been said. Surprisingly pleasant scent. I'll buy a gallon next.

This is a must have product. works great I use it for my mobile detail business, and the customers love it.

Not really too much to add on what's been said already. There's a good reason that this product is so highly regarded. It is extremely versatile with different dilution ratios and is very easy to use even for an inexperienced weekend warrior such as myself. I use this stuff mainly to wash my car and find that it does an excellent job with no marring and a great glossy look once you're done. Makes washing a car much quicker without sacrificing quality on final outcome. One thing to note is if my car is overly dirty then I usually pre-rinse it with a power washer prior to ONR wash to reduce the chances of micro marring. A must buy product that I think everyone needs to know about!

This No Rinse product is the best. I just purchased my 2nd gallon. Great for washing, detailing, or for clay bar lube. You can make 16 gallons of detail spray from one gallon of no rinse. It would cost you over $70 to by detail spray by the bottle in any store. Washing my Vette has never been easier. I can even do it inside the garage on a lousy day.

I went for the gallon size after reading a bunch of the reviews and it works very well. This will come in handy when traveling in my old car to car shows. I can always get some water but not to a car wash and fills the bill very well.

The formulation that is sold as of June 2012 is v3. This is the only one I have experience with, but so far so good.
It leaves a nice shine when used as directed. I prefer to use use one towel to get the most of water off then follow through with a second towel.
Used as quick detailer at 8oz to gallon
not so hot. Get Optimum Instant detailer instead.

This stuff works great. Saves time and cleans effectively.

Simply amazing! Are you kidding me no water spots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shoulda bought the big bottle *) Enhances gloss to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many uses, with great results. I think the product is best for washes and quick detailing. It does work okay as a clay bar lube, but I didn't find that it worked as well in that area as some other products. It still did the job though. For me, it's best as a QD. I keep some on hand at all times for that purpose. Great product.

What can you say about this product that hasn't already been said? Great product. I use it as a QD and rinseless wash.

This is really a jack-of-all-trades detailing product. Use it as a wash/shampoo, no rinse wash, dilute in bottle a for pre-soaking, use diluted for a clay-bar lube. Cleans well, fantastic lubricity, and dramatically cuts down on water spots... even when I tested to make water spots. It smells great to boot, so resist the urge to drink it. Owners of ONR know what I'm talking about. You will not regret buying this go-to product.

This is a must have.

What can be said about ONR that has not already been said 100 times ? Bucket waterless wash = great ( treat yourself to a spray bottle of 15:1 ratio for a pre soak spray down before using the wash media from the bucket ). Waterless wash ratio = great ( I actually like ONR better for this than Opti Clean mixed 3:1 from the gal jug ). Water softener additive to the bucket of soapy water for std washing. I have not tried the clay lube ratio yet, but that is about the only thing left in my book. I don't use it on windows in QD or Waterless wash ratios, I use the Poorboys Spray & Wipe ( not the spray & gloss ) for this. If you have not tried it, it is worth a spin.

Great product. I have already purchased a larger quantity.

Outstanding...27 degrees and used hot water and worked fantastic....Most definitely would recommend Optimum ONR...

It works. I was very reluctant to give this a try, but after reading all the positive feedback I felt like I was missing out. Turns out I was! I have a Jet Black BMW so trying not to leave swirls all over it is a constant challenge. I still like to presoak the panels though before touching them with my wool mitt. I bought a pump sprayer and fill it with a gallon of ONR water mixture which makes presoaking effortless. I know I'll continue using this product so I asked for the 128oz. ONR jug for Christmas!

This is an amazing product! It removed years of residue from my wife's road bike, even after a cleaning. Excellent!

This is THE best product out there for any detailer or hobbyist! It has many uses such as a clay lube, quick detailer, rinse less wash, glass cleaner, light interior cleaner, etc. Leaves a nice shine to your vehicle after use!

I've only used this as a detailer spray. But it works great! I was used to buying pre made stuff, and it was expensive. The ammount of detailer I go through is a lot, and this is totally worth the money. I get SO many more uses out of this, as i can make my own mix, many times over. Product cleans water spots as desired!

What a cool product. I am afraid I must add my own voice to the legions of positive reviews. Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine is a shampoo that requires no rinsing. It is environmentally friendly and has multiple uses. Many products talk about the scent and for the most part I am indifferent. In this case the scent is very pleasing. I will admit that from time to time I open the bottle and smell it.

I mentioned that it has multiple uses. So, you can use Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine to wash your car, particular if there is no hose source (on vacation for me). I also use it during the winter. I use it for winter washing, trying to limit the amount of water I use in cold temperatures. Mixing a more concentrated version in a spray bottle it can be used as a clay lube. I also mix a spray bottle full for spot cleaning, the spot of bird droppings on an otherwise clean car. You don’t want to re-wash a clean car, but you can’t leave the bird feces on there. I can think of no drawbacks to Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine. I highly recommend it.

Another great product from Optimum! I was skeptical when I first used ONR, after washing the hood first, I was sold! I can wash a car virtually anywhere, just fill up my gammaseal bucket with water and a couple ounces of ONR and i'm set! As you would imagine, it doesn't get in the creases like a pressure washer would but for a quick wash, this product is great. Even better, it doubles as clay lube and a quick detailer!

This stuff works good, I like it. But there is one downside to washing your car in this manner. You (sometimes) won't get the dust out of every single corner as you would by using a hose. This seems obvious but you might not think about it at first. For example, certain spots around the side mirrors and just various out of the way spots here and there. With a hose, you are bound to soak these spots at one time or another. If you have no hose, this is a great help. But if you do, just wash the traditional way.

I went thru a phase of purchasing every new thing for every purpose, and that was fun and informative,. Now I am looking to filter down to practical products that have multiple uses, and this is just what I have been looking for. Let's face it , alot of products out there are slight variations or dilutions of the same or similar base materials, so I am getting a lot of good uses out of this as a actual wash , a no rinse wipe down wash in the garage regardless of the weather conditions outside, and I am now trying it as a quick detailer as well. It has a great value as a multi purpose product.

I have to admit that I was skeptical about this product at first. After using it I have to admit this is one of the best products I have used on my car.

I would warn that a light touch is needed when cleaning. The product is slick enough to help prevent swirls or marring.

The bottom line is: It works!!!!!

I'd resisted this type of product for fear of marring on my single stage black and red cars, but gave it a try after moving to a place with no exterior hose attachment. I'm blown away, it's hard to think of going back to a regular wash product. I'm very pleased with ONR and will likely be a long time user.

Great product! I use it for a quick detail spray, a no rinse wash with 2 bucket method and as a clay luber as well! This stuff does everything and it lasts a long time. It has a great dollar value as it can be used for so many great uses and it seams to last forever. This stuff does a great job and I will continue to use it! Absolutely one of the best products on the market.

I was never a believer regarding these no rinse solution but after using this, I am a believer. I used it on my car after a long and wash-less winter and it worked wonders

Amazing product. Using a two-bucket method,Very easy to use and the results are awesome!

I love ONR, it is the main product I use in my mobile detailing business. Eco-friendly and 100% paint safe! I always pre-rinse with 2-3 oz in my nomad sprayer all over and then continue with 2 bucket method with Lake country sponge.

Amazing product - Cuts cleaning time in half! Using a two-bucket method, I have no doubt that this will be my go-to product for the winter. No marring or streaking and leaves the paint nice and clean.

This is hands down the best thing ever made! I live in an nyc apartment and this was perfect. I use it doing a 2 bucket method, and apply after first hosing the car down with water from my nomad sprayer. I have been using this new formula since it came out, my first optimum product, and after my first wash I could tell how much cleaner/glossy the car was over going to a car wash business.

ONR is a Great product. I use it in my water tank and my Nomad Pressure Washer! I also carry a bucket with the product mixed,and use it to wash with whatever shampoo I am using.

Works just as described! Cut my washing time in half!

I moved from having a nice driveway and garage to a condo in the city. Needless to say, it's really hard to wash our cars. ONR gave me the same results as hose washing! Great product. I will probably buy the larger bottle next time.

Its pretty good.

I will probably buy it by a gallon next time. Very convenient, quick and effective for garage washing. I live in a condo and sometimes I'd rather wash my car in garage if it is too hot outside to use the washing area or when it is occupied. I also use it as quick detailer with great result! use 2 buckets method, no swirl.

Another yes on top of many.

This stuff is awesome. I had ordered a bunch of other stuff, and a sample of this stuff was added to my order. I tried it for the first time today, and all I can say is wow. ONR worked great on my E46. I used a 2 bucket wash method and the process was very easy and time effective. I don't think I've ever gotten done with a wash so fast and to have the result i got afterward is insane. I will never again go to one of those self wash places again. If you're on the fence about this stuff, you shouldn't be. The reviews don't do this product justice. It's that good.

What more can be said about this product? Its amazing, and extremely cost effective, it can be diluted to a wash addition, clay lube and quick detailer. I use it as a clay lube the most, closely followed by using it as a rinseless wash during drought season. A staple in my product arsenal that I cannot go without. Once you ONR you wont go back!

This stuff is even better than the old formula. It's even more slick than before, and it smells a lot better less chemical smell.

This is a superb product and I can guarantee I will always have it in my garage and when I start my business. This product really is superb in the fact that you can clean cars (and clean them well) in very cold temperatures, droughts, or in your garage out of direct sunlight. I have put down my hose and picked up ONR instead. I almost never use my hose anymore!! Quit reading this and just buy it already!!

Bought ONR and tested it on my parents 12 year old van that has never been washed and it made the car look great and still didn't swirl the paint. One of the best detailing products available, it's also a great lubricant for claybaring. I will be ordering the gallon next time.

My nomination for Best Detailing Product of the century! It's awesome for winter, and I love the fact that It cleans just as well as a conventional wash, yet I'm doing my part for the environment by not wasting all that water and having the runoff enter the storm sewer system!

Amazing! Why have I not heard of this stuff before, I have no idea. I will definately use this product again, and I will pass the word on to my friends and family. Makes washing large vehicles like a suburban go much quicker. And the car hold a shine.

Yes I would buy this again! Did a great job on my salt encrusted new car. I should have bought the detailer at the same time and read more about the instructions. Because while it was clean, there were some streaks. I ordered more stuff and will be cleaning it again next week. IDEAL for a winter driven car!!

I've been using ONR for almost 2 years now. For pre-rinsing I use a hand held pressurized fertilizer sprayer and in the winter I use the Nomad power washer to blast off salt, then wash away. I recommend the 2-bucket method on very dirty cars. I rarely use a garden hose anymore.

I really like this ONR wash. Very easy to use and saves a lot of water, which is a plus! Less drying time and I can use this anywhere. I would definitely buy ONR again.

I just bought this and couldn't wait to try it out. What a GREAT product! I live in New England, my new car was filthy, I didn't want to pay for a machine car wash, but it was 25-30 degrees outside. I used 1 bucket and 2 all-purpose MF towels. I was done it about 15 minutes, the car looked great, my hands weren't frozen and my driveway wasn't a skating rink. Fantastic!!

I also want to put a good word in for the guys at DI. The shipping was very fast as was the feedback. Twice, I emailed some questions and both times got an answer within a few hours. That is great response time at any time of the year, but within one week of Christmas, it's exceptional. Keep up the good work, guys!

Wow, this stuff is amazing! I used the two bucket method on my e46 that had a decent amount of winter grime on it and this soap just emulsified that dirt like nothing! plus is left an amazing shine and protection as well. Do not hesitate to buy this!

I have been using ONR for washing my cars for almost 4 years. I have access to a hose and can do a traditional car wash anytime I want to, but I enjoy the ease of use and water savings that ONR provides. I just purchased my 4th gallon, and will continue to use ONR until something better comes along.

Work great just as advertised. Very easy to use, I took my time using it the first time I wanted to see how it worked. Uses after that were quicker.

Best car wash product I've ever used. I can't believe it took me this long to use this. I'm using this for all my future washing, reserving soap washing to special occasions.

Combined with a LC Grout Sponge, I cleaned my car in 15 minutes (sans the wheels)

This stuff works as advertised. I was skeptical at first but after six washes, I am now a loyal customer. I will only use this on my vehicles in the future. It was very easy and quick.

It's cost effective and seems to do well, but I have really soft paint and I did get some light scratches compared to a traditional wash. It's probably user error, but I used 2bm, grit guard, Lowes' grout sponge and dried with waffle weave using blot technique.

ONR will serve as the middle ground between a traditional wash and quick detailer, to get very light dust off my car to prep for QD and QW. Good product, but will not be replacing a nicely lubed soap wash.

I was very skeptical at first, but once I tried using this on my car, I was sold. This stuff is awesome. Works just as advertised. Definitely will be ordering more when my 128oz bottle runs out. Makes drying so much easier. Get this stuff.

Short and sweet review-Buy it. Now.
No hype, it works as advertised, and the price is so reasonable for all that it does.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a revolutionary product in the detailing industry. I order ONR by the gallon!

As good as everyone says. It probably cut my washing time in half. Plus, I was able to make quick detailer and clay lube out of it.

I bought ONR because I have very hard water and my hose faucets are not filtered. I was getting a lot of bad water spots with conventional washing. With ONR I can fill a bucket in the house where it is filtered and with no rinsing now I get no spots. It did a great job!

What is there to say about ONR that hasn't already been said and PROVEN? This stuff works! Its pretty scary but it works like a charm. You can wash a car in direct sunlight and not have to worry about water spots. You are able to focus in on the panel you are doing so you can do a better more complete wash. Overall it is quicker considering you usually have to keep the car completely soaked with water to avoid water spots. I have tried it with the 2 bucket method and the one bucket method, both work fantastic. The mitt seems to just glide over the paint and the ONR emulsifies the dirt right off the car. Just get ONR and try it a few times to get the hang of it. You won't be dissapointed!

For those reading all these reviews for the fifth time and still afraid to try this...JUST BUY IT. I was so afraid to try a product like this, and I can honest say that I haven't washed my car with a hose for 2 years now. One of the best products out there.

Nothing to say but to confirm all the previous reviews. This stuff is incredible. If anything, it works even better than I expected. Not only is it eco-friendly, it saves money and time--lower water bill and a lot quicker to wash with.

A definite must-have and I will buy it again.

I was very nervous about trying ONR. Even after thoroughly reading about it and the process(basically the same as a suds wash) I was skeptical. I tried it out after ordering on a daily special, and WOW! It was wild! It did a great job, removing all the dirt, and leaving the car silky smooth. It was super easy, and I had completely washed and dried my car in 35 minutes. It takes the better part of a day to wash the cars my wife and I have, and this will dramatically cut down on on that task. I will definately be ordering more. I can't wait to have a spotless car this winter!

This is some great stuff. It is so good that everyone that I've given samples to wants to order it for themselves or have me order them some. I want them to order their own. You will not be disappointed with this product at all. Buy some today.

An absolute staple in the arsenal. Versatile, effective, gentle - to the vehicle and the environment. Don't even think about it - just buy it. :)

I use it now exclusively for my black G35 because I've discovered it's the only product that will no produce fine scratches. All the other big name brands I've used throughout the years are really good but ONR is the best.

Only used it once so far and was very impressed. Curious to see how it looks now the car has had a detail with Zaino products. I'm sure it will look amazing!!

Use when you car is in the shade or under some kind of shelter.

If you are out of the heat this is an amazing product!!!

Used ONR for the first time using two bucket method and was amazed at results! I might use this all the time regardless of weather.

Great Stuff! Works as advertised. I like for the fact that you get enough to last quite awhile. Definitely works for people who live in an Apartment complex such as myself. Will continue to buy.

I live in an apartment where washing cars is strictly prohibited. The ONR allows me to wash my car in the comfort and warmth of my garage, and it does a GREAT job! I recommend watching the "how-to" video on YouTube, and using 2 buckets. But even in the summer, I'll probably still use ONR because it's so good.

Optimum No Rinse is truly a staple of our business and is used for nearly every exterior vehicle service Eco Auto Detail provides.

This product not only cleans well, it's easy to work with and consumes much less water than traditional wash methods. A great benefit when ordering supplies is finding and stocking a product that can perform multiple tasks, we also use Optimum No Rinse as a clay bar and wetsanding lubricant.

I have been using ONR about a year.

Since I am living in town house where car wash is strictly prohibited, ONR is my only option to wash my car in the garage.

I don't miss traditional car wash anymore. This works great! I would recommend to others.

Good product so far. Easily helps wash off dirt and debris from vehicle while leaving a nice shine afterwards. Makes conventional washing almost pointless since I can now wash my car in the comfort of my garage and not have to worry about debris blowing back onto my car. Would recommend!

great product to use to wash a vehicle on those very cold winter days. Works well i recommend using two buckets while using it one to wash and one to rinse your towel in.

I will definitely recommend to others and will be buying more!

ONR is great! Very easy to use and the results are awesome! Just cleaned my car in 40 degree weather after driving around in snow and dirt, after days of heavy rain. Had no problems removing all the dirt and getting everything cleaned up.

I use ONR at Showroom Shine Auto Detailing LLC. It's a Great product!

Products has allowed me to continue washing car through the cold winter months. I have a black highly polished car and it does a wonderful job! Thanks for the quick shipping!

This stuff works very well, cuts the wash time by a lot, it's very slick and leaves the car looking very glossy too! Been using it on my black daily driver and haven't induced any marring or swirls at all! Love this stuff!

Love how effective it works

This stuff works great. Probably the one detailling item I will not be without. Very versatile product with many uses even beyond as a clay lube, qd, rinseless wash etc. Even on very dirty vehicles I just do a pre-rinse with a hose to release heavy dirt etc and then on to the ONR wash.
