NRWS - Seriously...get it!

I was a little apprehensive about using NRWS. Even though there were tons of reviews here and on the net claiming it superior cleaning abilities without use of a hose, I still wasn't sold. Just a couple caps of the concentration in a couple of gallons of water was going to clean my car? No way!

Days went past and the Washington DC weather took its tolls. My car, a SSM TSX, looked dull and obviously dirty. I took my car to spray washes at 4 bucks for 5 mins. It still didn't do the job of what a bucket and mitt would do. It still looked damn pathetic

I couldn't stand it anymore. I proceeded to purchase Optimum NRWS and a 1 gallon sprayer. It came in yesterday. Though it's going to rain today, I really wanted to see what it could do.

I just finished using it and with no more than 2 gallons of water, 1 bucket, a sprayer, and a microfiber towel, my car is looking fantastic. You wouldn't believe how easy it is to clean and just wipe off. No more hoses!

This is especially great for those, like me who live in condo and apartment complexes. I highly recommend this to everyone and it's environmentally friendly and it helps conserve water.

Kudos for Optimum and props for Patrick for pushing this product. It's definitely a must have!

so no one has ever had a problem with micromarring or scratching using ONR with a single bucket and a microfiber mit?

I'm sooo tempted to try this stuff out

Flip, common sense prevails with this type of product. Its not for real dirty surfaces. Its best used as a maintenance wash article. Several snow/ice storms and your probably better off addressing it more conventionally. But for the car care enthusiasts, who like to keep their car cleaned on a weekly basis, which isn't exposed to severe elements, its a life blessing, as well as being eco friendly. Also if your in an area with water restrictions, it cant be beat.

Ahhh Now I get it. So for an initial wash with lots of road grime, I'll get a wash mitt and use my NXT. But this may definitely come in handy in the summer when it isn't overly dirty. I will probably order this soon!

I used my NRWS for the first time today and I was surprised just how well it worked. I kept checking my MF waffle weave towel for dirt after wiping each panel and it stayed clean. I think I'm going to use more NRWS as this time I only used 2 capfuls (1 oz) in about 1.5 gallons of water. The dirtiest part of my car is always the around the side moldings and the bottom of the doors.

BTW, I found the consistency of the NRWS to be somewhat watery. Is this normal?

For future reference, this product is often referred to as "ONR" or Optimum No Rinse. Took me a minute to grasp which product you were referring to.
