Has anyone used this product?
Hey guys,
Has anyone tried this product?
Amazon.com: 32oz. Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine: Automotive
The winters get quite cold here so it is difficult to hand wash like I do in the other seasons. The product seems to have excellent reviews. I was thinking- perhaps taking the T4R to a touch less car wash and follow it up with this to get rid of whatever the wash was unable to get at.
What do you guys think/ suggest?

Just be careful the 'touchless' carewash you go to does not use brushes to clean the rims. I have been to a few of them that are touchless but they have these brushes that extend to get the brake dust off, but in the winter with all the sand on the road it can stay in the brushes and scratch the %$&^ out of your rims.

ONR is great. a touchless followed by a once over with ONR will give you excellent results. try mixing the ONR into your regular bucket wash too. youll be amazed how the dirt and grit slips right off the paint like it's in suspension.

I use ONR every weekend unless it's raining. Great as a clay lube also. Essential for keeping your ride looking it's best. After you dry with a waffle towel, follow it up with Optimum Spray Wax for extra winter protection. Slick stuff.
Remember to use the 2 bucket method. Get the large 128 oz container of ONR from Detailed Image - Premium Auto Detailing and Car Care Products.

you can plunk a grit guard into a single bucket too...
x2 on the ONR as a clay lube... you can also dilute for a quik detailer...
x3 on the optimum spray wax. that stuff is amazing.

I agree with the majority. I live in Alaska and use ONR all the time!

I've heard great things about ONR during my days lurking over at autopia and autogeek. Those are some great sites for detailing. I haven't visited them in a while but I think you will still find more info over there.

Thanks Mason, JohnnyT and NHINAK.
Sandcrawler- Am not sure what you mean by this
'x2 on the ONR as a clay lube' - Are you suggesting that using ONR will be a good substitute for me clay baring the truck before polishing it? If that is the case- that would be awesome! I hate the clay baring part because it takes so long and it is tedious.
Do let me know.
Thanks

I love auto detailing and I'm very intrigued by the ONR!

I take there is no white residue with the spray wax?

ONR might be used as a clay LUBRICATOR, not a clay bar substitution.
