Any one ever try this......????

No Rinse™ Wash & Shine BY OPTIMUM??:confused:​
 
Yes, but probably not the way that your looking. I add almost a capfull of ONR to my wash bucket. It's suppose to act like a water softener. It does OK.
I have used a "no rinse wash" DP 4 in 1 that is the same process as ONR and it works awesome. I do one panel at a time and wipe dry. Also, very handy to do door jambs.
 
Yes I have it. I've only used it a couple times so far. It's going to take some getting used to. I like the conventional way with lots of suds. A lot of people are using it and say it works great with no ill affects on the finish though. Even if I stick with a conventional wash, I'm going to use it on my convertible so that I can keep the water to a minimum to lessen the chance of rust.
 
opps wrong thing,,, umm the no rince is a great product. I have used it aot and never had a probem. It seams to ift the dirt off the paint ith no marring or sctching. I have nevew used 4 in 1 so i cannot compare but optimum no rinse is soom good stuff

I havent used the ONR, but I am a lover of the DP 4-n-1 I was skeptical at first but some 4-n-1 with a shmitt and a grit guard is good for quick washes to get rid of pollen and light dirt. For heavy grime washes I would def. rinse first.

:iagree: :iagree: Love DP 4-in-1.
 
Optimum product is as good as the DP offering, but Optimum literally smells like dung !
 
The DP doesn't smell much better. I don't understand that. Both companies other products all smell great, except their rinseless washes. One of the mysteries of the universe. I use 4-in-1 by the way.

Yeah 4 in 1 doesn't have the fruity smell or anything like that, but it doesn't smell bad.

Adding scents to products can effect the way it performs, in some cases it can enhance the performance and in others it can hamper the performance. So David at Optimum does not like to add anything to his formulations that does not need to be there. In other words if it doesn't make the product work better he is not going to add it, hence the lack of a fruity-tooty smell in many of the products from Optimum. If a product has a scent then it has been found to be of benefit.

The question could also be posed...."If it has a strong scent, what are they trying to cover up?"

I just received my Optimum products Friday and I will use 2 of them Sunday. I have the ONR, Spray Wax, and protector. Today will be a first for ONR and the protector. I just waxed last week so I don't know if I will use the spray wax. I bought the ONR because I didn't want to drag out the water hoses this winter. I have read where it is supposed to be easier and quicker to wash you car, so I will know the truth of that very soon.
 
I've used ONR about 7 times now. The first few times after each wash, I checked the surface with my halogen lights. No swirl marks. Following other people's suggestions, I pre-soak each panel with ONR from a spray bottle before washing it. I use the Cobra 530 to wash and a guzzler to dry. A 2-bucket method also helps. Lots of grit collected in the rinse bucket even on a seemingly clean vehicle.
