You can also dry and wax your vehicle by spraying Optimum Car wax on each panel as you are drying it. Simply choose your dilution ratio and the amount of total diluted ONR you require and add the amount in the table to your bucket or bottle containing the amount of water specified. It’s definitely a useful product to have on hand during the paint correction process so it’s well worth keeping a couple of bottles mixed up at a 256:1 and 16:1 ratio. This unique product contains substantive polymers which bond to the paint and protect it during the wash while the advanced wax technology adds weeks of protection.

The wastewater in the bucket can be used to water the lawn or disposed of into a sink, where it will be treated! For the 16:1 ratios, take away the amount of ONR you need to add from the total amount required to work out how much water you need to add. Therefore to get the most from Optimum No Rinse and not waste time, either stick to ONR and Optimum Car Wax or if you prefer to use a different brand wax and like the way it beads/protects/looks, then stick to your favourite wax and use a plain ph-neutral shampoo that wont affect any of this. The waste water in the bucket can be used to water the lawn or disposed of into a sink, where it will be treated.Therefore as long as people understand its limits then its a great alternative to speed up washing or minimise water use. Additional benefits are faster washes, ability to wash anywhere at anytime including washing inside the garage during the cold months, no messy water runoffs, and greater looking car finishes. Most people just use it for the car’s exterior, but it’s brilliant on the interior as a kind of “quick detailer” too! Excellent detail spray, clay lube and light glass cleaner (without affecting any lass sealants) – also, as a QD, it is excellent and VERY effective and breaking down bird excrement to the point were it it will come off with virtually no contact.

Optimum No Rinse - ONR from County Detailing Supplies

In this article, I’ll go through how to use Optimum No Rinse (ONR) in all the best ways, including the dilution ratios so you can get the best out of your bottle. There aren’t too many downsides to ONR, except that it does feel a bit unnatural if you’re used to using traditional car shampoo like myself! It can be used when the weather is too warm for washing with shampoo and water which would quickly dry out and leave soap stains. Optimum No Rinse can be diluted to 16:1 (16 parts water, 1 part ONR) to produce a much more lubricated, and hence safer quick detailer spray. It may be unnecessary as the damage a pressure washer inflicts is negligible to undetectable, particular on most paintwork.It would also be great to use with Optimum car wax as, due to leaving its own polymer protection on the surface, it would affect the behaviour of any other wax on the car. This unique product contains substantive polymers which bond to the paint and protect it during the wash. For best results, use a waffle-weave microfiber towel or fish-scale glass cloth (or just something a microfiber towel that isn’t very plush and fluffy). No Rinse has proprietary polymers that bond to the car's surfaces and trap dirt to clean without rinsing, leaving a slick and glossy finish. It’s more used to give a well-maintained interior a quick once-over to remove any light dust and finger-prints.
