Rinseless Washes - 2022

Nav45 said:
I've been using the NXTZEN ZNR recently:

It's a very solid product and has a very high dilution ratio. Seems like pretty strong stuff. I've used it with the sponge as well as microfiber towels - it works well with both and I did not notice any staining. Cleans great though the dry off is not among the smoothest, but a bit better than the Nighthawk CTX. Now that I think of it, it is one of the better cleaning products I've tried recently. If the dry off was better I think this product could be among the top.

It is interesting that NXTZEN says for best results to use their drying aid when drying off the ZNR. So this makes sense that the dry off is not the slickest because even the company recommends using their drying aid. But it is a good product overall.

Have you tried other RW's? I'm not saying this isn't a good product, after looking at their site it has a quality initial look/feel to it FWIW

Yep, have tried many and for some reason keep buying more despite having so many LOL. I don't need any more, seriously!

NXTZEN definitely made a quality product with the ZNR and I am only nitpicking things. In the past I used to use various drying aids so drying off the car was somewhat similar between the products. But since I don't use drying aids anymore the drying off experience becomes more pronounced and something that you can notice between the various products. For instance, the Griot's new rinseless is excellent in the drying off experience.

There are others here as well, such as Carbon Collective, which is a surfactant based rinseless and focused on cleaning, that also dry off rather well for being a surfactant based product. This is another very potent product with a pretty high dilution ratio and among the better cleaners I've used. Getting it is the tricky part due to availability, etc.

Also, to go back to NXTZEN, I will likely try more of their products as I feel the company has good labelling and high quality bottles and packaging.

How does NXTZEN compare to Carbon Collective in the cleaning department? Have you tried Feynlab v3 RW??

I would say similar though I did like Carbon Collective a bit more overall though - slightly better feel under the media for one thing. I've not tried Feynlab and probably won't for a while . But I don't think you can go wrong either way with ZNR or Carbon Collective (I know that's the easy way out LOL but both are good). I've heard that Feynlab is known for being among the best cleaners so if you want the strongest cleaner, then you have to consider that as well.

I almost bought NXTZEN but sometimes you've gotta know when to say when...but WHEN I kill another bottle of something, NXTZEN is in the batters box 100%

The way things are going we should only have another 5 or 10 new RW's by then...

They must want you to use one of their many chemicals that could be a drying aid with their RW? Maybe ZNR+?

I've liked ZNR+ as well as their interior Protect product. Seems to be a decent brand overall - thanks for sharing

On in an alternative time line, AG members have formed our own detailing chemical company along with microfibers. Our logo is the prodigious digit, signifying “We’re Number 1” in auto detailing. Especially in our year end reviews.

Among our products is a line of 5 (or more) RWs with uses depending on the climate, weather and energy levels. My favorite will be our “Sit On You’re A$$ Foaming Rinseless. It comes in an aerosol container, a really large aerosol container. You simply spray in on, sit down, it pulls the whatever off the paint and you get up and simply blow dry or vacuum it off.

On a related side note, we managed to put out of business, any company that has the word “Rag” in their name. We also annihilated Pay the Advertiser and his cohorts. Pay was forced to sell his Porsche and super high end audio system, especially after he turned the volume up to 5 and blew the left side of his house out. He was last seen trying to start an actual detailing business.

What is that bank commercial where the guy is building a time machine in his garage? I love that one. My wife doesn't think it's funny.

They recommend Easy Dry as a drying aid for the ZNR. It is pretty expensive for what it is but I haven't tried it. Their other spray options are more reasonable though. Appreciate you letting me know about the ZNR+, I may have to try that one. Seems to have various uses.
 
Well, since I have plenty of rinseless left I figured why not order more. I got the new version of ONR along with the new red sponge:

I was kind of excited to use ONR as I have used quite a bit of it in the past. I have liked it for its cleaning ability and overall feel but never was a fan of the staining so I have not used it recently. Well, when the newest version was announced I was pretty excited to try it. So I've used it twice now, once with towels and then with the new big red sponge.

I was kind of surprised to see how grabby this product is when I used the multiple towel method. Like, really grabby and not smooth or slick at all. Felt really weird to me. But I did wash the car with it and then hoped that the drying process would be better - unfortunately not. It was just as grabby, if not more. The towel kept bunching up when drying. Very disappointed.

When I used the new big red sponge with it, it seemed to perform better. The new sponge works well with the ONR and the sponge stayed fairly clean as well. Pretty good user experience, though not as smooth as some of the other products. So when I went to dry the car, once again it felt grabby and the towel just does not glide. Since the drying process is important, it just doesn't feel good drying the car.

I did like the new big red sponge though - soft, good to hold and does a good job. It has a different shape than the others and Optimum did a good job designing it.

What rinseless(es) do you frequently use that are less "grabby"? For me, when ONRWW came out, I switched over to using that, the "wax" gives it a little more lubricity and it's got the UV inhibitor, which can't hurt. The regular ONR I use around the house now.

Most of the other ones, such as Hero, DIY, Koch, etc. Even the Nighthawk CTX felt a bit better in drying. Can’t believe that, to me, V5 is a better product than the newest one.

You’ve got me intrigued on the ONRWW. May have to give it a shot lol. It has some OCW in it I believe.
