If you want to start your detailing business (or simply detail your personal cars) with no access to water, what are you going to do?
You could take it to a self-serving car wash, run it through a car wash tunnel, etc... However, what if you wanted to do it yourself?
In this video, the main topic is performing a wash or wash and wax without access to water by only using Optimium No Rinse.
I wanted to make this video to point out there are plenty of ways to get the job done even if you don't have all the "right" tools and products that you'd like to have.
Enjoy!

Wash and wax on a 2014 Ford Raptor
• WASH and WAX on a Blac...
I have been a religious student of your videos and the one piece of advice I've ran with is that you don't need a bunch of stuff to start detailing for yourself. I detail out of the trunk of my car. I use the customers water and power without any problem. I use basic products mostly from the dollar store or Wal-Mart. And I get results. My customers needs are always met and they turn their friends on to me. I am slowly building up because of this golden piece of advice. Thanks brother.
Dude talk as much as you want! Im not trying to read nothing. I enjoy your content thanks detail groove!
Haha- thanks J
Rapper 😂😂😂😂 the humor hit me hard
Lmao!
Lmao
Me too bro i had to rewind it to make sure
I’ve had my customer sneak up on me and it nearly scared me to death. If you’re listening to music or are just in your element it’s very easy to get scared!
Yeeessss! haha so true.
trapcracker agree
Haha same here
Very very nice job. Smooth as butter. I'm sure the customer is very happy, I know I would. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the kind words!
Man I love what you do! It’s nice to see another detailer who isn’t so focused on paint correction. Being able to clean both the inside very well as well as the outside is something that is relevant to such a large group of car owners. Anyways thanks for the videos man! Keep up the great work
Thanks a lot Christian!
That was amazing what you can do with a little bit of water....great job Oscar
Haha as long as you know what you're doing! Thanks for watching
Love and respect all the videos my man. Keep it up.
Thanks Robbie!
Great job work smarter not harder. You got me into detailing running my own business now took in alot of tips and tricks 💯👍
WOOHOO! Best of luck to you :)
I actually enjoyed listening to you go into detail about the steps you take if someone else is complaining well this isnt the channel for them
Great video Oscar !!! Picked up a lot of tips in watching you start to finish. The Raptor came out great 👍
Glad I could help Patrick!
One of your best videos. Your efficiency tips are gold thank you
Great Video Oscar, keep up the great work!!!
Thanks so much for watching Franisco!
Great Job, Oscar! Love your work!
Thanks so much for watching Eduardo!
Really enjoy your videos! Keep it up!
Thanks Jacob!
Thanks you so much for the Services Guide! It helped me so much I really appreciate it!
Hey Mate. Good Job !!
I own a detailing small business in Australia
Just hooked up with your channel, keen to watch all the vids in time.
I learn so much from your stuff mate. Excellent job once again
~ Michael
Thanks Dingo!
I appreatice that you give us the viewers a lot of information I don't know why people would hate on you talking a lot you are doing us a favor 🙏
Haha thanks for the kind words! Can't make everyone happy :)
Great job and thx for sharing your wisdom of detailing
You did a great job! I haven't ventured into o n r but I like the clay n wash at the same time concept. 👍🏽🙂
It's a great product!
Hey Oscar, first off thanks for all your amazing content, tips, tricks and endless support. I know you like to use Super Clean for your APC, I also love using Super Clean but only ever used it for rubber mats and pedals hahah I had no idea it was this versatile until I started watching your videos, now I'm excited to use it in more areas. My question for you is what do you use for aluminum?? You stated in this video while cleaning the wheels/tires you were using APC and that your APC is 10:1 Super Clean, in my experience Super Clean and aluminum are not compatible. Once you've diluted it does it not effect the finish or do you use a different product? Thanks in advance.
Nice job. Good video.
Best vid yet
THANKS!
I'm not a professional, but I watch many of your vids to learn how clean my own car. And for viewers who think you're talking too much, they can just fast forward 15 seconds. How dare ppl complain when they're watching free content.
So anyway, what do you think about using an auto dust mop to remove dust before washing? Unfortunately my car gets parked in front of my house, so it does collect dust though I only drive it like three or four times a week. Could initial dust removal using a duster cause problems?
Yeah, I know! Haha. But that's just the world we live in :)
If you're actually going to wash it, just wash it via a rinseless wash. I can't see the dust causing much problem in the wash process. I'd rather just wash it than use a dust mop of some sort. Or another option would be use air to blow off the dust. Or simply rinse it down with water
Yep, I do the rinseless wash using the multiple towels method. But I thought the initial wash might be better if I removed the dust first.
I would say it doesn't make a difference. But you should try it out! Maybe it does
MacAutomationTips First just wanted to say thanks to @Detail Groove for all the hard work and videos but @Macautomation Do you have a update with the dust mop I have had a few people tell me those work wonders, but i've all ways been sceptical... Did it work for you?
I like the talk through videos
Glad to hear!
so what you use for trim peices and fenders, you also use to shine and dress your tires? the hyper dressing? and what are some good spray bottles to get
This is what I've been looking for. How to wax around the emblems and trim! Thanks man great advice!
Awesome job and great video
Thanks Brandon!
Im new in this channel. Great content man !🙏💪
glad you enjoyed Jesus!
hi Oscar, I have been detailing my truck and was wondering how I can keep it nice when I live on a dirt road, also I have friends in my car a lot and found makeup on the seatbelt straps any recommendation on how to remove that, thanks
It really comes down to maintenance cleaning. You can apply a sealant or take it up a notch to a ceramic coating, but it will simply come down to you washing the car to keep it clean :)
I started detailing a couple months ago and had my first truck the other day and didn't know what to do with the bed. Do you say upfront you don't do anything with the bed, charge extra??
Yep- I say I don't touch it. They don't really care about it. If I did, depending on the condition, I may or may not charge
Thanks for your help and your great videos!
Thanks Mohammed!
Solid video!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job Oscar always giving A+ Care!
THANKS!
Great work!
Thank you for watching!
I can’t stop watching your videos!!!!
Thanks for watching :)
Would you charge the same amount for maintenance cleans, and you do for a standard detail?
Man you are awesome and an inspiration. Thank you for all ur info. I think I found my mentor 😃😃😃🤩
Glad to hear Roger!
Great video bro. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
What grade cla mitt did you use for this video or what grade do you recommend as and everyday use
Awesome video! How much did you end up charging for this wash and wax?
I will do do more waterless washes since alot of the vehicles i do are fairly new. Great video and information content!
Thank you so much
Dig the hat too!
Making me think about going and making a business in detailing, since I love cleaning my vehicles!
Running a business and cleaning/detailing a car are two completely different worlds
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
pleasure to watch buddy! are you using onr as a clay lube? and what dilution? thanks for the vid!
Sure am! As far as diluting, it's 2 oz per gallon!
Hay oscar how much would it be for a wash on that truck with out adding clay and wax?
I have found that using a soft bristled wheel brush for applying tire dressing works best for me. It's a lot easier getting into the grooves
Yup! That's also a great option.
Nice amazing job. What kind of towels do u use there all different textures
I'm primarily using towels from Costco
Looks really good. Black is hard to maintain clean and you made it looks great.
Thanks Raphael
Dude! This is great info. The narrative of your work is essential & very informative. Great work. Forget those pendejo trolls. You have a new subscriber in me.
Ahaha- thanks a lot!
Detail Groove do you have a video dealing with swirl marks?
Not yet- need to start posting those
Alot of lessons in this episode. I am going to take advantage of every chance to do 1 pannal at a time. Not in all situations but there be times.
Yep!
thanks for the inspiration
You got a new subscriber!!
Woot- thanks!
So you come in with the wash mitt (assuming grit guards under), they hit it with clay and lube, then dry and second dry towel?
Correct!
One of the best detailing vids I've seen!
Thanks for the kind words Wayne!
Detail Groove I used this method today on 2 cars and 1 SUV. Loved it. I struggle with the tires and the dressing though. Thanks for giving me the confidence to get out there.
That's my goal here with theses videos. Keep pushing!
Great video 👌🏼😇
Thanks!
What kind of towels do you use for interior and exterior use? I tend to have alot of lent left behind when wiping down the interior? Thanks awesome videos!!! Keep it up.
Thanks for the kind words! I use these: www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Premium-Microfiber-36-Pack/dp/B00GARQKII/ref=sr_1_4?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1519752976&sr=1-4&keywords=kirkland+microfiber+towels&dpID=51CI0GpLPWL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
Great video man! I enjoyed watching how a pro cleans a vehicle. I think it would be a pleasure having you working on my vehicle, you seem like a nice guy. All the best!
What kind of spray bottles do you use??
The ones i always ends up leaking or doesnt spray after awhile.
Spray bottles are from local auto parts store like AutoZone. The trigger sprayers are purchased from AutoGeek
Great vid! very detailed. please do more like this! I have a simple setup so learning how to do jobs like this really helps out a lot! Also, could you leave a list of products in order in the description
More on the way! Here's a list of tools and products I use: detailgroove.co/resources/
Great job!!!
Thanks Michelle :)
Good video!
Woot!
Great video man! Forget those trolls, it's all great info and you do make a difference!
thanks for the kind words!
Wow Oscar! I learned how to be more efficient watching you. The onr wash clay method is a great idea. I notice you seem to like super clean as your apc. Do you have a preference between super clean vs Meguiers D101? Awesome job by the way!, curious as to what you charged on this beast. Love your videos and I appreciate you explaining everything.
Woohoo! Glad I could help :). There's no big difference between D101 and Super Clean. At least not a noticeable difference. I can buy Super Clean locally, so that's why I choose that. I chargeeddd.. $200?
Would like to ask you how do you deal cancellation last minute ?
Some times not @ home?
Thx
it sucks but I just move on. If it's over a $600 detail, there will be a deposit of $35
Awesome video.
Also, what bench are you using, I need one!
Thanks for watching!

Will it not surface scratch or swirl marks show up since your not using water or what some guys use the 2 bucket
I'm sure to some extent, if you put it under a magnifying glass, you would see some swirls/scratches
thanks for the videos
You're welcome Todd
I noticed you use the wash mitt to scrub the dirt and sprayed onr and clayed it. Would that scratch the paint knowing that you didnt rinse the dirt first and used clay right away?
1) The paint already has swirls and scratches. 2) The paint is not going to be polished. 3) The car wasn't that dirty to begin with. 4) I'm sure it did add very light swirls and scratches, but just anything you do will do that
How much do you charge for a wash and wax?
How long did it take you from start to finish? And how much more efficient would you have been with a pressure washer and foam cannon? It came out super smooth by the way. Thank you for all your videos. Houston pride 👍🏽
Thanks for the kind words1 Uhh... I think 3 hours? The pressure washer wouldn't have made much of a difference. It wasn't that dirty.
That was funny. “2014 Ford Rapper” I was like what? U mean raptor. Great laugh before the video. Thanks
hahaha thanks
Is the bottle that he is spraying with filled with water?
Awesome video. In Phoenix we really have to watch water use. The truck looked really on point.
Yup! Do you primarily use a rinseless/waterless method? Thanks for watching!
Question. I see your spraying something on the truck before your actually taking the wash mit to the truck. Why Is that?
It's ONR diluted as a clay lube. Not necessary but just a habit of doing it
Im getting my stuff together to start my own mobile wash and detailing business. Do you recommend any websites to get my name out there in order to get clients?
yes, 100%
I don’t see you dress the fender flair plastics on this truck or the interiors on some of the videos? Do you tend to leave those surfaces just cleaned? Or does it depend on the customer or do you go back and dress before you give it back to the customer? Thanks
Good question: 1)It depends on the customer/budget 2) a lot of times I simply don't film that part since it's at the end of the detail and I'm trying to get out of there
Thanks for video. What are the names of all of the products that you used for this detail?
Here's a list of tools and products I use: detailgroove.co/resources/
Hey. I just started my detailing business. My first client was a used car dealership owner. He had about 90 cars on his lot. I charge him 100$
A day for about 10-15 cars a day. The second day that I was working after he paid me he said my price was to high and that I should be washing the cars for 3$ a car and be doing about 30 cars a day. So yesterday was last day washing cars for him. Because in my eye there’s no way to give a good quality wash and dry and interior cleaning for 3$ a car. What would be your suggestion for me moving forward.
That's the way most dealerships work. They need cheap cheap work. Go get retail work from people that will be happy to pay full price
100 a day is way too low in my opinion. that's ridiculous, i hope you're making a lot more now.
Helllll nooo bro move on !!! I would’ve payed at least 250$ for all them cars dude . Or even more . But 3$ a car ? I would’ve hosed it down lol . Seriously they all like that
Mirage 90 cars x 3 bucks a car is 270. So yo would’ve ripped someone off even worse... a dealership should be lucky to have a guy charges them 500 for 90 cars...
I'm lost, how are you detailing 10-15 cars a day? Am I missing something or am I just to damn slow
I was thought to always use the 2 bucket method with dirt traps to prevent new swirl marks what’s ur taught on that??
1) If a car has never been properly washed, waxed, or polished, what difference does it make that you take ANY precautions to reduce the amount of swirls you put in the paint if it's already trashed? 2) You can perform the same quality was with a rinseless vs traditional was method. 3) There are so many methods in the detailing industry that people do simply for the fact they've been around for a long time
Hey Oscar, do you find that you get any marring on the paint by claying the vehicle?
Some vehicles yes, it's' the nature of claying
What are using to spray on the vehicle before clay barring??
Optimum No Rinse diluted as a clay lube
What was it call the product you used after you apply the hand wax
Optimum No Rinse diluted as a clay lube
Do you ever use the Meg's hyper dressing for the wheel well and tires etc?
100% I do
Looking to start detailing where is a good place to buy chemicals and get up to date on what everyone is using
I buy most my stuff from AutoGeek or Amazon. I primarily buy Meguiars. You don't need dozens and dozens of products. This is what I use for the most part: detailgroove.co/resources/
Great vid. Question did you wax the roof of the raptor?
I sure did!
Great job bro? Is that APC you're spraying right after the wash and right before you dry?
That is Optimum No Rinse (ONR) diluted as a clay lube for claying
So what was in the spray bottle??? I'm starting a detail business. Well, adding it on to my cleaning business to try it out. This video is helpful.
Do you find using a APC is safe on all types wheels?
As long as you don't let it dry in the heat, yep. No cleaner will be safe if you let it dry in the heat
What’s in the squirt bottle that you spray on the truck before washing it?
Optimum No Rinse diluted as a clay lube as my pre-spray
I downloaded your nine step detailing, and all that I received was a lot adds and your videos, the 9-step detail did not download
What is your process of doing exhaust tips? And do you dress them as well? Nice video! Love your work
Thanks for watching! I'll add that topic to the list :)
Excellent process, very cool to see an entire exterior detail from start to finish, great job. Have you ever considered a steam cleaner, I know they are expensive, but seems like it might save time and money on chemicals. Would like your opinion and reasons why you don't like steam as an option.
Thanks for the kind words! I assume you mean a big enough steamer to wash the exterior? 1) I have a small van, fitting a ginormous steamer means I would need a bigger van. That's a fat no. 2) Saving money on chemicals is close to $0. I use MAYBE 10oz of actual cleaner in that entire process (not the water used to dilute said chemicals). 3) Just a personal preference. It in opinion, would not make the detail any faster or efficient
Thanks! An opinion is what I wanted, especially from an experienced detailer, appreciate it.
Glad I could help!
Hello Oscar , I'm a detailer as well , I'm always trying out new methods to clean vehicles , I have been thinking of buying the water backpacks with the spray nozzle to clean a car , Have you tried that by chance before ?
Hmmm.. this is my first time hearing about this!
Detail Groove I think it would work but will take a long process lol but thank you for replying 🤘 have a good weekend bro 😤
Thanks Luis!
I also agree, I like the talk through , we learn so much tips and tricks! Where can I find a bench like that? hehe
Detail Groove Sweet! I will also look into getting one! Also I wanted to ask what is a good sealant to apply to headlights after restoring them to prevent yellowing again or oxidation
Honestly, your best off going with a coating if possible. If not, go with Chemical Jet Seal
Have you tried the duplicolor or rustoleum paint prep?
I have not
Very nice job, also the boards on the side are called "Runnning Boards"
Ah! Thanks for that :)
Detail Groove my pleasure to help
Love this channel but I’m 100% convinced now this guy is smokin 😤 lol
If I hand wax how long should I let dry before I wipe it off with a microfiber towel ?
Read the instructions on the bottle. They have have their own time
Hey brotha what did u use to clay the raptor?
Nano skin clay mitt (fine grade I believe)
You never use those towels again for the day ? Or for just good.. like throwing them away?
I don't use them for the day. I really don't understand why detailers literally throw those towels away forever
