Product Review: Optimum No Rinse & Shine

[dеiтайожни]

There isn't too much drying to be done with ONR. I just blot the excess water with a waffle weave mf and the rest dries by itself within about 15 seconds.

But I read something about those things for removing rain water right away before it leaves marks. Do you use it for that purpose or just for regular washes?

Both

For Me:

Craftsman Power Washer w/Soap, and Soft Towel Dry...

I also use this spray shine stuff (don't remember the name) but it's like a very thin spray wax... it gives the paint a glossy look and smooth feel.

Washing the truck is part of the weekend tradition...

SO, how does this stuff work when you have bugs, mud, or anything else on the paint. YOu would scratch the hell out of your finish when you wipe it off? Are my missing something here?

I prefere to us CO HUMMERS butler. He does a great job and even brings mints and chocolates.

Well, obviously you wouldn't use it with 2" of caked on mud before knocking it off. But bugs, dirt, dust and all that stuff that comes with daily driving and certain off-road driving comes off just fine without any marring. And if you didn't have bugs, mud or anything else on the paint... it would be clean and you wouldn't need to use this or anything.

I'm a bit obsessive about my paint, so I checked with a lot of detailers before trying it and a lot of them use it for all the vehicles they work on, especially mobile detailers. I also checked out the paint of another black vehicle that has used ONR since day one, ~once a week, and there is no marring. After washing mine, I checked as well and found no scratches/marring/etc and I hadn't washed mine in a almost 2 months.
