Talking ***Optimum No Rinse My First Review***

So I ordered ONR (Optimum No Rinse) from Pat a while back and finally decided to use it.
I've read a lot about it and was skeptical at first. After many hours searching/reading threads and reviews, I thought I'd share my frist experience.

I diluted using 2 cap fulls/gallon
Now you will notice that ONR is not foamy or soapy. This is because ONR is not like MEGS car wash or anyother. It feels more slimy than anything.
I used my sheepskin mitt (also from Pat @ Excel) and wiped, diddnt use too much pressure, just the weight of the mitt. and wiped with two MF towels

WOW

ITS THAT EASY

Really!
I like washing my cars in my driveway but HATE walking around in puddles of water, ONR makes it that much more easy!!!


Hope this helps

any ?s please let me know and
thanks Pat!!!!

Yep, ONR is definitely a winner in my arsenal. I'm glad I jumped on it when it first came out! I blame Patrick, LoL!

Might as well throw the sprayer pre soak at me too, cuz that was insanely ridiculous, probably the worst dozen bucks anyone has ever spent...............I should probably be banned?

damn...sorry, didn't take any pics this time around with ONR. I did use it again today for the second time. Not like it's hard to use or anything, but I think it was easier the second time around.

You've begun to understand what Optimum brings to the table, and have probably modified your technique a little the second time around!
