Well I finally did it! After reading just about everything Anthony, Ron and Scottwax has posted on how to use ONR, I took the plunge. My car had a light coat of dust on it, so I felt this would be the perfect "baby step" in implementing it into my detailing arsenal.
I used about 3 gallons of water and added about 3 to 3.5 oz's of No Rinse.

I used a Megs MF/Chenille wash mitt to apply the water/solution and 2 waffle weaves to dry afterward. 1 WW for the bulk of the liquid, and the second as a follow up light polisher.

Well...the results are in and I must say I am pretty impressed. I did not notice any swirling or scratches in the paint and the water left behind in the bucket was filthy!!! The surface of the car had a nice slick,glossy finish.

I was a bit surprised in that the wash water did not feel as slippery as I was expecting. Frankly it felt....well...like water. I don't know if need to add a bit more No Rinse to overcome the hard water here where I live or whether ONR just isn't all that slippery.

Overall, a very pleasant experience. An intangible aspect of ONR was that I must add was that I did have a great sense of satisfaction knowing I wasn't wasting water and that nothing was being washed away into the street to points unknown. (Okay, there is my portion of treehugger-ness)

As is typical...another GREAT Optimum product!

Hey thanks for that write up SteveH, great to hear your experience so far was pleasant


As for the ONR being slippery....well you'll notice that more with water that is treated, like DI or RO water. It just takes on a slight slip, nothing too great.

Mine hasn't gotten dirty enough to merit the wash yet but I can say the ONR makes a superb QD. Great shine and slick finish while leaving the paint mark free.

ONR is absolutely a fantastic product. I've done 100's of washes with it now in my mobile business and don't know how I worked without it. A few weeks ago I had a car that was a little dirtier than normal and I was crunched for time. I thought I'd do a normal soap wash and save a few minutes. I washed a single panel rinsed it and poured out the soapy water. Normal washing just didn't feel right anymore.

Hi All,

I started using ONR about 6 mos ago. It is a great product! Unless my car has mud all over or in the wheel wells, I won't need to return to the traditional wash routine. ONR has saved me countless hours keeping my ride clean! All my friends/family are amazed at how easy ONR works and are now dedicated ONR users.

ONR is probably the most revolutionary product that I have ever tried. I'm eager to try the rest of Optimum's product line. I am already switching from 303 to Protectorant + for my dash and leather protection.

One of my best uses for ONR is to pressure wash my car and then spray on ONR and wipe off with WW MF. I use it straight on customers cars ...LoL
