As a professional detailer, I've been using Optimum No Rinse for a couple years now. This stuff is amazing. Easy to use, dilute it down for whatever your needs are, clay bar lube, wash, quick detailer...
I use 1 oz in two gallons of water with a couple microfiber towels soaking in it and a 64 oz spray bottle with 2 oz of Optimum in that. Working one panel at a time, spray, wipe with soaked microfiber and dry with microfiber drying towel, scratch free wash every time. I can't think of anything in my 20 years in the industry that comes close.

You'd have to see this stuff clean. I mean, I'm all about bubbles but slightly blue water? But, take a look at the photos of my wife's car. Lots of times, I have to use special stuff to get off "bug stuff" but this ONR? I didn't even have to scrub my elbow off. Then, dried it. Took the photo. Photo, drying, and washing that spot you see took about 4 minutes.
We have full watering restrictions here and now I have a way to get my cars clean without having to pay my pentance to car wash places (who must LOVE the ban)!

Ordered same day and I used it already. All I can say is wow. This was recommended to me by a co-worker and I decided to take a shot at it. Providing that your car isn't very dirty this is the perfect way to keep up with your car weekend to weekend to keep it nice and clean. Very satisfied and will buy this regularly. 1oz to every 2 gallons of water. Will last you a while.

Had my car professionally detailed, the guys recommend this for washes. Works great, love that it wastes very little water. Smells good too.
Amir S.
Works great. Leaves a nice mirror finish every time. I still rinse the car off though if it's really dirty.

Love this stuff! I never water wash my car anymore. This is way better!!
Erik M.
Washed my car with this stuff. 4 caps full for 2 gallons of water. Sunk my 32oz spray bottle In the mixed water to use as a pre wash. Got my whole exterior done in around 20 mins. Very very impressed.

Favorite car wash product. I will be buying this for my dad for Father’s Day!

It cleanses an old car like a magic and now you can park your car outside with confidence.You will be amazed how it removes the brake dusts.Prolongs the interval of regular washes and you cannot tell the differences.

What a great product for those who need to wash but don't have access to a hose! ONR works miracles! Pair with your favorite rinsless wash method (Big Red Sponge, Mitt, or Microfiber towels/Garry Dean), a good drying towel and a drying agent/wax and have your car looking great! If your car is really dirty, you may need to spray it down first. Be sure to do your research and look up the proper technique and microfibers to wash and dry with to get your wash looking the best!

This product is amazing, I will say right off the back I do not believe that this make a good “Car Wash” soap, when I use this I wash my car with normal car wash soap and then rinse the soap off I will then use the optimum no rinse to while my car down with as the I studions say to do 1 cap to 2 gallons of water and then I use micro fibers cloths to dry the car and the results are amazing, I would have given 4 stars because does not work as good was but it gets 5 because when I say not a single water spot forms on my car I mean it!
John R.
It's amazing how well this stuff works. It's super simple to use -- mix with water and apply to car with towel or sponge, then dry using a microfiber towel. It works on glass, plastic, wheels...I even use it for a couple parts of the interior.

I've tried every product under the Sun for my cars. I should have stock in Griot's, Chemical Guys or a few others - lol. One of the toughest parts of the wash process is the drying. I even have a twin-4hp Metro Dryer (deluxe kit with 30' hose, cart/wall mount to help get the water out of the door jams, mirrors, and other hiding spots. In my first outing with Optimum - I marveled at how I only needed 20 minutes start to finish to wash my car. Literally only used two microfiber towels to dry. Took my bucket to the kitchen sink to obtain two gallons of reverse osmosis water and added a generous ounce of this stuff; and went to work. The sheeting action and use of so much less water didn't even permit my rotors to oxidize during the process. The process with its effortlessly dry each section as you go - accomplished 3 huge things! a) 20 minutes in and out b) lack of high pressure spraying and aggressive soap didn't subdue my most recent wax and c) wash n instantly buff each section dry produced amazing gloss. My black car looked like a black mirror so quickly I was blown away! During my post wash 'excuse to run to the store' - I received a thumbs up at the very first red light and a 'cool car man' from a teen at the market. Highly recommend!

Works great! Hard to believe only 1 oz in 2 gallons of water would work so well. I used regular tap water with microfiber towels. No streaks or water marks. It definitely works. I looked at my fingers and there wasn't even any dirt build. Can't believe I never found this sooner. Odd thing though, it shipped without a cap. Thought it may had fallen in the box, but nope, no cap.

Good product. Several people from Reddit recommended this product. I used in in direct sunlight on a 90 degree day, which I know is bad for cleaning due to streaking and the cleaner drying too quickly.
That said, even though there were a couple spots I had to do over due to heat, this product worked like a charm with the recommended 256:1 ratio.

No rinse and shine is right. This product is a mind blower, able you clean of a whole car with just to gallons of water and 2oz of product. It left no water spots and all the dirt come offso easy. No pre wash needed and no rinse needed . Being a mobile detail with no water available this is the number one item for you. One draw back there are some small streaking areas.
Stanton
Wow, I’m impressed! I was able to clean my dirty car with this ONR product and it was surprisingly easy! Only used a bucket with 3 gallons of water and 3 cap fulls of the onr solution....and a bunch of micro fiber towels :) I’m not a car guru or anything, but it just does something really weird to dirt.... it almost like melts the dirt away. (And this was waay Easier to use than “wash wax all” which I had used in the past, for me at least. No buffing or scrubbing.) I also bought and totally recommend the clear dry spray that pairs with onr.... because it made the drying process a ton easier bc the surface gets slick. The scent is pretty good too, nothing amazing, but it is nice! That’s all! Dope stuff! Highly recommend it!

After reading all the reviews on this product I just had to try it. I live in CA and we are trying to cut down how much water we use. Plus people give you funny looks when you are hosing down your car or watering your lawn. Hence the reason for this purchase.
This product is absolutely amazing. I took the advice of another reviewer and had one bucket with optimum and water and another bucket to rinse off the towel after each wipe of the car. Honestly words cannot describe how good this works. You just wet the towel with the solution and wipe down a spot. Even on glass it works wonders. It didn't leave any water spots either. I just wiped it dry with some microfiber Meguiars towels (which I highly recommend) and wholllah!! It even worked really well on my rims. Got the dirt right off.
Get this product!! You won't regret it. And it's way cheaper than a car wash and way more satisfying as well.

I have tried most all products to keep my black car clean and am tired of buckets and hoses so I tried this. I would give it 5 stars on any other color car but black is tough. Used many chemical brother towels vs 2 buckets and results were good but it actually is alot of work making sure you don't use dirty part of towels, drying properly. It left some slight "clouds" but a quick detail spray fixed..My paint was in great shape and car was not real dirty. Good but still searching for easier way which is probably pay a detaioler each week!

Most simple and amazing car wash experience ever! Definitely worth the money! It’s an amazing value and it’s great for the environment. I live in an apartment building and we don’t have a car wash station inside our parking deck. This is the perfect solution.

First I need to apologize to my previous vehicles for not finding ONR sooner.
I used a 32oz spray bottle of the recommended solution (maybe a bit heavier) and two microfiber towels (24"x36"). One for wash, one for drying. I washed the entire car in about 25 minutes and only used 24oz of solution. The car was covered in pollen and general road dirt since washing last week. The shine is amazing. The way it traps dirt and prevents scratches is amazing. Oh, and it smells like cotton candy (to me). I did it all in my garage while it rained outside. This will be perfect for the winter months up here in New England.
After the first use I am already a customer for life. Thank you for such an awesome product.

This is meant to be a short review. Here’s some bullet points:
- I used only 2 gallons of distilled water to wash everything including wheels.
- I used 3 thick microfiber towels and 4-5 smaller microfiber to dry off
- I used 1 microfiber drying towel to wipe off last
- i did not dry the wheel but distilled water evaporate without water spot
- I used Garry Dean’s method
- I sprayed the washing towel constantly with the solution to keep it wet
- it leaves a shine on my black car that I have not seen before. Shinier the waxing for some reason.
- This is almost like magic
- Took me two hours but I took it very slowly because I have a black car and it was filthy dirty. If it wasn’t that dirty it would have been about 30-60 minutes.

If I could give it 10 stars I would. Simple to use fast easy use less than 1 gallon of water to perfectly detail your car.
Secret is making sure you fold a micro fiber towel into four sections which gives you 8 sections to clean with. Only due one section at a time and dry using two micro fiber towels. Zero streaks or smears.
I use a one bucket method. See YouTube videos.
Most people think it won't clean because no suds.
Just Trust this stuff. If extremely dirty wash don't dry twice then dry.

I detail for a living this stuff is an amazing product. Has more uses than on the bottle. Great for the environment and in places where water is restricted. The company has and will answer any questions you may have. You may even get to talk to the owner and creator of the product Dr.G he cares deeply about his customers and products that he creates. YouTube is a great resource for any and all uses for this product. I recommend this product to everyone from someone who just wants to wash their car on the weekend to the most skilled professional detailers!
Melvin
The only cleaning product you will ever need... seriously
Pros
This Product is amazing and you can use it to just about clean everything in your car. I use it for rinse-less washes most of the time but it can be used with the traditional wash method as well. I clean my paint, use it as lubrication for when i clay, i use it to clean my interior carpet, seats, dash, screen, windows, exhaust. I have even taken this product inside and started cleaning around the house with it. I have cleaned my keyboard and use it in my steamer to clean up. The result it leaves are stunning and it is super easy to use. I have a spray bottle with this stuff handy in case i need to do a quick detail to clean up bird poo etc.
Cons?
No buying this years ago
My conclusion is this if you are thinking about buying this product just buy it! For the price, longevity and results this is an incredible value that is unbelievable.

So I was....super skeptical about this. I've heard good things, and I've watched some video review about this and I just couldn't wrap my head around how this would work and actually get your car "clean". Especially not rinsing your car. Y'ALL, THIS STUFF IS MAGIC!! I didn't even wax my car, and it was already so shiny and clean (the picture attached is just after using ONR). You only have to use one capful for a two gallon bucket and that's barely anything for the 32oz bottle! That's means it'll last for a very, very long time which makes me pretty happy. All of the dirt sunk to the bottom of the bucket I was using so I was pretty confident that I wasn't just reapplying dirty water to my car each time. This is the first time in a Missouri winter where I didn't hate washing my car....because I got to wash it in my garage where I could stay warm. If you're not a fan of waxing your car and just want to do a weekly wash of your car, this stuff will be perfect for you!

I just got done traveling across the country from the east coast to the midwest. I drove my car about 3,000 miles and got caught in two "BIG" rainstorms. That was about a month ago. I have not washed the car since, until today. I ordered this product because I'm in an apartment complex with no hoses for water. Let me tell you, this does not disappoint. I made my mix just like it says to do on the bottle. I soaked a plush microfiber wash mitt and had some microfiber towels on hand. Then I proceeded to wash the car. This stuff did not scratch the car and it came out shiny! It took me a little longer than a half hour to wash it, but it was filthy. I can see how if you keep up with the car, it should take probably between 15-30 minutes. The car was very dirty and it cleaned it with no problems. I also pre-soaked it with a spray bottle. If you live where there's water restrictions or don't have access to a hose, this is the product for you.

This was recommended by the shop that did Ceramic Pro for my car. Works great on regular cars too. What I normally do is use 5 clean wash mitts (chemical guys) and do one section of the car at a time. I never put a dirty mitt back in the bucket, I always start with a clean one each time. It's a small investment to never risk scratching your car. I have a fairly large car - Tesla S - and I can do the whole thing in 10 minutes. Since you don't have to rinse, you can wash your car in your garage regardless of the weather outside.

I’ve been using this product for 2 years now and I love it. And a little goes a long way too. My first bottle has about a third left because you use so little with each wash. The most amazing wash was today after a weekend road trip. All the bugs splattered on the front and windshield came off with such ease. Just a car washing sponge and No Rinse. Didn’t have to presoak anything or use any kind of separate bug and tar remover product. I just washed my car like normal with the recommended 2 bucket method and the bugs seemed to just melt away as you can see from the pictures. And as usual the whole car turned out looking clean and shiny without any additional waxing or buffing. Excellent product!!!

I was very hesitant with this product as the idea of using a rinse less wash had me worried about scratches. It worked great! I started off with 2 gallons of water with 1 oz of the product and had 6 medium sized microfiber towels folded into a square that left me 4 clean spots inside and out. And dried as I washed dragging the microfiber with no pressure other than the weight of the microfiber. I've also used it as a clay lube with my nanoskin sponge and it works amazingly well. I've also used it as a quick detailer to use to help get dry wax off and works great as well. The product is definitely a must have in every detailers arsenal. Hell I even throw 2 oz of it in my wash bucket when I do a regular two bucket method to add extra lubrication.
