- In this video, we'll show you how to do a rinseless wash using Optimum Polymer Technologies car care products. Rinseless washing is a great way to keep your car clean without using a lot of water.
First, make sure your car is parked in a shaded area and the surfaces are cool to the touch. Add 1 oz. of Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine to 2 gallons of water in a bucket. Soak Big Red Sponge or a quality plush microfiber towel into the wash solution and wash one section at a time till it is completely clean. Dry the section using a clean plush microfiber towel. This can be done on the paint, glass, plastic, and metal surfaces of the car.
For extra shine, apply Optimum Spray Wax onto the paint surfaces and use a microfiber towel to buff it to a shine. Rinseless washing with Optimum Polymer Technologies car care products will keep your car looking clean and shiny without using a lot of water.
Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine New & Improved formula offers the Ultimate in lubricity during the wash as well as drying with greater gloss and protection. The polymers in the new formula have been modified to improve encapsulation and create a greater barrier between the dirt particulates and automotive finishes. You will notice the greater lubricity while washing your car with Big Red Sponge or other wash media as well as during the drying process with Optimum Microfiber towels. The new formula will also leave more protection and gloss than before!
Before No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR), there was no choice other than to use regular car wash shampoos that impact on water restrictions, and in many areas these shampoos are simply no longer allowed. No more! Optimum offer the only alternative product that cleans AND protects your vehicle and protects the environment too. It will reduce the water usage to a fraction of a conventional car wash. No Rinse Wash & Shine is the most technologically advanced car wash system to date, that requires just a single bucket of water to wash an entire car. Optimum No Rinse & Shine (as the name suggests) does not require rinsing with a hose since there are no soapy surfactants to wash off into the storm drains.
This unique product contains substantive polymers that bond to the paint and protect it from abrasion during the wash. These polymers offer greater protection and lubrication than conventional car washes and leave a slick and glossy finish behind afterwards. The waste water in the bucket can be used to water the lawn or disposed of into a sink, where it will be treated. Other additional benefits of No Rinse Wash & Shine are faster washes, the ability to wash anywhere at anytime including washing inside the garage during winter, no messy runoffs, and a better looking finish. These are just some of the reasons No Rinse Wash & Shine is being used by many people across the world, saving millions of gallons of water every year.
Never used this product but have used similar.
Not only great for the car, but great for a cleaning your shower, especially if you have hard water.
This product has been a game changer for me for after autocross. My car typically comes back with dust, tire debris, and the outline of the magnetic numbers on the doors. In the garage without breaking out the full foam canon/pressure washer, I can get it cleaned up for the next event or before going to cars and coffee. I was skeptical at first about scratching the paint, but it just works. Not to mention, no suds/soap to wash off.
Thanks for sharing
Looks like an amazing product!
It's nice to see a "re-launch" of the Optimum product line, and the transparency of what ONR can and Can't do. Would like to see some in depth tutorials on the uses and benefits of Opti-Clean.
Great suggestion! Will get that in the works! Thanks for watching - Yancy
@@opticarcare YANCY! I kept asking 3D where you were but got no answer! Good to see you doing your thing sir! ONR, incredibly versatile product!! Love it.
I am still around and now you found me lol! - Yancy
Great demo
Great video nice & simple
Keep em coming please 🙏 😊👍
More to come! We have been busy! - Yancy
Great job!!
Thank you! Cheers! - Yancy
Beautiful cat
Thank you
A professional detailer just told me about that product and got me hyped-up about it! He even promised to teach me and help me clean my freshly ceramic-coated car, so that I can safely maitain my car from now on using only this product for literally everything - exterior, interior, cleaning, detailing, etc. Epic, just epic, can't wait!
Sounds like an awesome guy
Was going to ask if its safe for ceramic coating, sounds like it is!
@joeyofblades Well, when discussing the Strengths and Weaknesses of ONR as a product, the one "major weakness" that is always mentioned is - "it doesn't provide any protection". If it doesn't even leave a "wax-like" layer, then it should be fine. And it is fine, I'm now solo-washing my car only with ONR after I had it coated :-)
@@vpenywise yeah I use carpro reload for quick detailing and protection on top of the ceramic coating. I avoid waxes and sealants, I use ph neutral soaps and not anything "wash & wax" (use that on my daily driver). Ceramic coating on my vinyl wrap lasted almost 4 years and I just slapped on another 2 coats on the entire car. Doesn't get driven much and sits in the garage though so I don't have to really clean it that often just rinse the dust off...
@@joeyofbladesDoes this ONR product and the pink spray bottle product he used qualify? My detailer recommended the same thing as you. Just trying to determine if ONR and the pink bottle will be a good application for my ceramic coated vehicle as well.
This method works great on a car that is already clean like the one in the video.
Yes it does!
Demonstrating the product on a clean car is pointless. Misleading video
You're wrong now shut up
Works great on cloth seats with a microfibre towel
Great tip - Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe - Yancy
FINALLY a knowledgeable overview of ONR’s capabilities and limitations.
My question is, I use Griot’s 3in1 ceramic spray wax. Can I use it as you did your wax? Thanks in advance!
Use griots ceramic speed shine as the drying aid and maintain the griots 3 in 1
Great video. Between this wax and the instant detailer, which gives a glossier finish?
Good afternoon.Thank you so much for your work) I have a question.The car is covered with Carnauba wax.I have blue and green NO rinse.Can I use yellow Opti-coat NO Rinse for washing the car ? Thanks)
Where can I buy a cart like you have with the bucket? Great video!!
I just got Opti- Pro Ceramic, 5 year. I was informed to use this car wash. I was wondering if the spray wax can also be used with the Opti-Pro ceramic. I enjoy having a super slick look. I also have the Hyper Seal that I was going to use every 3 months. Does that sound like a good plan? I'm new to these products.
I spray it on first. So a capful is 1/2 oz of solution ? I use a measuring cup for my 1 oz to my 2 gallon bucket. Also I make sure that the car has good wax protection on it.
Great job, Dan and Yancy. Keep it up! I would love to see a video that addresses when it's better to use power clean on the paint. I tend to use APCs as a pre-treat when my daily driver is very dirty.ONR is great for emulsifying and encapsulating, but what about breaking down road film (greases and fatty molecules in general?)
Can get that in the work! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe - Yancy
@@opticarcare can I use power clean as a pre treat when its super dirty, then wash with onr? No rinsing. Or should i rinse off the power clean? Thanks!
Same concept with Opti Seal for drying?
Hi can it be applied in sprayer or cordless pressure washer bottles then microfibre dry.
I love the cart you're using as well. Where can buy one those?
Harbor Freight has some
Can you guys do a video for the wheels? I know there’s a lot of videos of how to do em w rinselss but it’d be nice to see the manufacturers themselves procedure/recommendation
Will do! Shooting some new videos very soon and will work this in!
How often can I use this product ? Or
Should I use this product? I’ve never used it before, can I use another spray wax ? Or do I have to use same brand? Thanks
What about cleaning the wheels?
I usually take that water in the bucket and put in a spray bottle.
I spray the panel first so that the dirt will lift and get encapsulated.
Then take the big red sponge to wash.
After that dry it.
Not a bad idea, though you’d use more product.
You can also use microfiber towels in place of the big red sponge.
That’s how I do it. Even in 100+ degree heat I’ll just work one panel at a time spray it, big red sponge, microfiber towel to dry.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
so 1 cap full is 1/2 oz then?
What about the wheels?
The main question I have is that the product smells delicious, so can I drink it? And if so, what is the recommended beverage dilution ratio?
0 ounces per gallon works well
Why is this product out of stock everywhere in the UK? I need to re-stock but i'm not paying scalper prices of £50 for a 900ml bottle
Works great on a already perfectly clean car! 😂
ua-cam.com/video/wPsEExtsa_w/v-deo.html
I’ve been using ONR for mobile detailing and it hasn’t let me down
Can you remove road film with this product?
Should I only be using this product on an already clean car? My concerns are around using this technique with a regularly dirty vehicle. I couldn't even see a single water spot on this vehicle before washing. Would be great to see this demonstrated on a car that actually needs cleaning.
I would pressure wash & rinse off a heavily spoiled car before applying ONR.
Is this method safe for a ceramic coated vehicle? Seems like the quickest and easiest way to get dust, pollen, and water spots off of my garage-kept, ceramic-coated Challenger before a car event. Definitely want to try this out.
It does wonders with clear coated vehicles. It’s going to bond with it so it’ll be easier to clean for future washes. Hope that helps!
@TheRealHungryJoe but I thought that was the point of ceramic? If the car is already clean, like in the video, couldn't you just use a detailer spray? To me, it looked like he "cleaned" a clean car. So...ya, of course it works? I guess I'm missing the point of this product?
I think you taught me what I needed now not to use onr
I've been doing so much research on car washing (in former life was a detailer). Now that I just got a Tesla I have to be even more worried because of the soft paint. Is ONR perfectly fine for my PPF and Ceramic? TIA.
Yes safe for soft paint - see out recently released video showing how it encapsulates the dirt. ua-cam.com/video/k1MiwdjGJ6w/v-deo.htmlsi=mOhl81bgtyoryP4F
This method will swirl on sensitive paint though. ALWAYS pre spray the panel with premixed ONR.
It depends on how dirty the car is. Pre rinse is alway smart or a pretreat.
@@Op_Danny then why not just break out the hose, use foamy soaps, rinse and dry. So this product becomes un helpful in that case.
@@rmat9023 soaps, and other rinseless products are surfactants surfactants are only emulsifiers. The only time they create lubricity is when they are present on the surface so when you have a polymer product, like optimum, no rinse, do you have a product that gives you emulsification, encapsulation and lubricity throughout the washing and drying process, unlike soaps or surfactant.
@@Op_Danny I am very confused by what you are saying. The only point I was trying to make was that if your car is so dirty, you should probably just rinse with a hose, wash it, and rinse again with a hose, which would negate the purpose on a rindless system, like your ONR rinsless.
In short, If u have to pre rinse a car you might as well just wash it like normal.
@@rmat9023 rinsing, and using soap then rinsing isn’t needed once you do a pre rinse. A rinseless product doesn’t remove the possibility of a pre rinse. It removes the post rinse. Once you rinse soap off you no longer have lubricity and the chances of inducing swirls become a lot greater. Where a polymer based product like onr gives lubricity from the wash to the drying.
Can I apply a ceramic coating spray right after using this? Or does the wax affect the spray?
Yes, ONR will not interfere with the bonding of a ceramic coating or sealant.
Hi why you wash clean car?
2 questions 1st, how long can you keep it in bucket after use, and 2nd is how to clean the sponge
You can keep mixed ONR in a bucket for quite a long time. I'd keep it in a bucket with a gamma seal lid and replace when it is too dirty or doesn't seem fresh but you should be able to go months. To clean the Big Red Sponge you can use Power Clean, Dish Soap, or both.
Car was good idea to use after ceremic coating?
Yes a great product for coated cars
What if the car is a bit dirty? Maybe bird droppings, some dried up leaves, dust and dirt from the road? Is it still as easy as indicated in the video?
Give a quick preference and get right in to washing
What water do you use, distilled or regular tap?
Tap water.
1 question. Do I have to use distilled water or can I use normal tap water. Unfortunately I have hard water but I'm assuming if I dry quick enough it's shouldn't matter?
If you dry it right after it will be ok. If you have very very hard water, and you leave it to evaporate, you will need some water spot remover, but no strong one is needed, like spotless
Onr softens hard water so no need to worry onr has you covered
@@walenrod17not needed with Onr as it actually softens the hard water and won’t leave water spots. Being onr emulsifies and encapsulate from being a true polymer chemistry and not a surfactant. Any water spot that appear are actually polymer spots and wipe way like magic.
@@Op_Danny obviously ONR softens but its not a 100% guarantee, if you leave it for too long it will spot. Don't fool people please
@@sebster6031 the spots are not water spots. They are emulsified and encapsulated minerals do it makes it easy to remove
Is it necessary to use distilled water?
No
Maybe not the latest rinseless product, but still the one targeted by the new kids on the block!
Yancy after using the No Rinse and when Im drying the car and get down to the rocker panels I keep getting dirt on the drying towel. Im using a microfiber mitt and while im washing I never leave the mitt in the bucket. I just dip it to re wet the mitt while im washing. Any suggestions?
I would pretreat/rinse. Then use BRS or ultra black sponge. That’s what I do and do seem to run into that problem
Sounds to me like you may not be getting all the dirt off in the washing process. And what Luke mentioned would try that as well. Sometimes dirt sticks pretty good in those areas. - Yancy
Same here and all I can think about is if my drying towel is getting dirty then I’m spreading that stuff and swirling my paint. Idc what anyone says no way rinseless works better than foam & 2 bucket method
@@luketuttle1096 I’ve done ONR pre rinses with a marolex sprayer that is a high pressure hand sprayer. Still have the same issue. The problem is ONR and any rinseless are not great at removing the greasy traffic film on the lower part of the car.
I usually spray that area with apc let it sit for a couple minutes then apply my snow foam right on top & start my 2 bucket wash. No rinseless can compare with that process.
How does it clean the BRS ???
The brs gets cleaned as you introduce it to the bucket. For a deeper clean you can use any soap to flush the grime from the core.
Bardziej czystego auta nie dało sie wybrać ??
i wonder if i can do this without sponge
Yes you can
I don't get it, why is there a need for a bucket full and 4 caps. I see barely much product wash used per sponge.
Do you guys have that cart for sale as well?
Seriously 😂
Not at this time.
Gabe, I bought a similar one to that at Car Supplies Warehouse, it’s a Luxor I think
Their's a new kid on the block, p&s absolute, try it and you will love it.
No need to try it when onr has been used for years and still performs.
@@Op_Danny Sir, that is entirely your opinion and to each his own, oh, and by the way sir, no need to hate.
That wasn’t hate.
Oh no! I always spray my vehicle first with the ONR solution and then I use the sponge or mitt to clean the car.
That’s the way to go! I washed many many cars that way.
do a dirty black car ✌
Easy I do many
Having a Black Car is like having a second job..No thanks. never stays clean past 1 minute after a full detail.
@@philk4944 I agree but my black car is Opti-coated and even shines when clean. Plus, the coating makes cleaning it so much easier.
Done many. No issues
@@philk4944 I went from black to white. Black car always looked like crap and was way too hot parked in the sun.
How does one deal with wheels?
Real men don't wash wheels
@@Lustecom I never considered myself a real man. I’ll leave that lofty notion to you.
Is it safe for newly painted car?
Yes
So this probably won’t work outside? The sun would dry these?
@@briankimskey it works outside and also has the advantage of being able to clean one panel or section at a time.
I find that much less product was used that the entire pail
That car appears to be clean already. I would more convinced with a car that looks like it’s been through a rough week. A garage car driven small distances would make sense to use this product. But a vehicle driven on dirt roads everyday, would seem harmful to the paint work if washed in this method. It would sell the product better and more convincing if that approach was taken. Maybe try a close up on the actual dirtiness before wash.
Looks are deceiving as the car was quite dirty
Step number one: start with a clean car. Kidding! But you wouldn’t want to clean a daily driver that hasn’t been washed in a week or two with a rinse less or waterless wash. The sponge or mitt would be caked and not even having 100 buckets would save it. ONR is still amazing. Use it as a detailer spray, or a prewash or even add an ounce to your car shampoo bucket for extra lubricity but use common sense.
Can you use ONR in a foam canon or pressure washer?
Tons of videos out there that’s covered your question lol
@@drew7014 A simple yes or no work have worked. You know since it is a video ABOUT ONR by the manufactures of ONR. Seems that an answer directly from the makers would be better than a second hand opinion.
@@Jymbo6511 yes, let’s continue to hold people’s hands lmao. I gave him enough of an answer to watch more videos.
@@drew7014 That does nothing to counter the point that an answer from the manufacturer is better than an answer from some rando makeing vidoes.
@@Jymbo6511 how do videos lie when they literally show it working? Jesus Christ 😂
Has anyone tried 8:1 delution?
Standard dilution is good for most uses, 8:1 is too much.
Does ONR leave protection or water repellency in the car?
Yes there are some polymers left behind during the washing process. If you want build on that protection let me know we can make a video on the different ones
@@Op_Danny Little is said about polymer-based products, so the question remains how this type of protection works. in my region, detailers tend to use only carnauba or silica-based products.
@@antoniomoraes1116 protection that is left behind is the polymers that are used in the cleaning process. There is so many different types of polymers. With ONR the polymer cleans by emulsifying and encapsulating, which this intern creates consistent lubricity. By having polymers adhere to the surface of the clearcoat or paint or other surfaces, then rejects the other polymers that contain the emulsified particulates or oil, substance, and other grime, so that you can safely and effectively remove it from the surface. So the polymers that are left behind. Are minimal and give you a basis to build off of for further protection, as polymers can also be used in sealants or coatings so this product would actually contribute to the bonding of sealants waxes, or ceramic coatings to the surface of your paint
@@Op_Danny Thank you for the explanation
@@antoniomoraes1116 very welcome.
Dear lord, Get rid of that background music...
Is pre treating with an ONR rinse necessary or make it safer?
I always pre treat
Especially in the winter
It isn’t always needed but, it is a nice added bonus on those extra dirty cars
Hose still has to come out for tires and wheels to finish the job! Next project is to invent no touch tire and wheel cleaner!
There's literally tons of full videos and shorts showing you how to clean your entire vehicle, including tires and wheels, with the rinseless system.
Rinseless doesn’t mean you don’t or can’t do a pre wash rinse down before using a no rinse
Isn’t it best to pre spray the panels with ONR. It’s seem like you’re grinding the dirt into the car
yes it is, that what i did when i used ONR a few times. They did the demo on a newly cleaned and waxed car. Shouldve washed a dirty car, would show the product better
If the car requires it yes but this car wasn’t overly dirty just dusty from a road trip. Brs is designed to allow dirt to not be between the flat face of the sponge and paint also, onr emulsifies encapsulates the dirt particulates, which creates a consistency of lubricity throughout the washing process, making it safer
Confused as to why you’re using this product on what looks like an already clean/washed car? Wouldn’t you want to use it on a visibly dirty vehicle?
It is a demo on a nice vehicle. There are plenty of videos of ONR being used on very dirty vehicles.
why demo a clean car?
But what if the car is very dirty. The car was pretty clean before it was even wash
ONR works great on extremely dirty cars.
The mixing instruction is confusing. Why not just say 1 cap is 1/2 oz.
Why are you wearing gloves?
You washed an already clean car. How about a video using a salt stained New England car?
People have been washing extremely dirty cars with ONR for nearly two decades. Try it for yourself.
i just dont understand why do you all test on pretty clean vehicles
ua-cam.com/video/wPsEExtsa_w/v-deo.html
why would you need 4 gallons for a rinseless wash????....stopped watching right there
been using ONR for probably 10 years. you could use less if you wanted. i make 4gal and use part of that to fill a pump sprayer and pre-spray my truck before the contact wash. this car maybe had some light dust so 2gal would have been fine but i really didn’t like how there was no spray application of rinseless before contact. great product overall, maybe not the most helpful video.
Did I heard well - its soy based?
You heard correctly - Yancy
@@opticarcare awesome! thanks!
Do a dirty car
Soy based got me laughing
Bruh what are you washing an ALREADY CLEAN car for 🤣🤣🤣

You definitely need to go back and read the directions on the bottle. You’ve got a long way to go and you need to edit your video of all of your mistakes. Where is the grit guard that goes in to the bucket also, why you did not pre-spread the vehicle with ONR? 🥺🤔
Noted!
The grit guard is in the bucket. No need to pre spray the car as it wasn’t needed. Confused on what you mean be needing to reread the label? Please elaborate some.
@@Op_Danny In the video, you added 2 caps (2oz) per gallon whereas the product label says to add only 1 cap (1oz) per gallon. So, which is it?
@@markwuslich5933 the cap measures .5 per 2 cap = 1oz
@@Op_Danny thank you!!
Ridiculous video. You're using the product to clean a car that is already spotless. How about demonstrating the product on a dirty car. Silly silly silly
Ain’t this just a waterless wash
There’s water
Bone head 😂
