Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine (ONR)
is one of the best performing products we have ever tested! Dr. Dr. Ghodoussi has done it again. More traditional car soaps use soapy surfactants which must be rinsed off the surface, increasing water usage and environmental impact. Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine uses billions of microscopic polymers that bond to the paint's surface and dramatically increase lubricity during the wash process. Dirt and grime are encapsulated then removed with out scratching or inducing swirl marks. Increase your gloss, save the environment, and protect your paint with one easy step: Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine!
Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine takes less water to wash your car. Traditional car washing using two five gallon buckets and lots of free running rinse water can consume as much as sixty gallons of water! Optimum No Rinse and Shine uses about three gallons for an average sized vehicle. If you choose to splurge and use a second bucket to rinse the wash mitt out in, then you can expect to use about ten gallons. This is important if you live in an area where water usage is restricted or if you need to wash your car in the garage. Of course Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine works equally well on R.V.s, motorcycles, watercraft, and air planes.
Simply add water to a bucket with the recommended amount of Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine, about one ounce for every gallon of water. Load a soft microfiber, sponge, or wash mitt with the solution and wipe the surface clean. Dry with a plush microfiber to a clean, streak and swirl free finish. Wash and dry a section at a time. The polymers that bond to the paint during the washing process remain behind, adding substantial protection and gloss to the paint's surface.
It could be argued that frequent washing with Optimum No Rinse and Shine will be all the protection that your paint will ever need. If you feel the need to add more protection, wiping the surface with Optimum Spray Wax as you dry will provide a deep shine and carnauba protection.
This product is very versatile. A cap full in your normal wash solution
will increase the cleaning ability and lubricity. Optimum No Rinse and Shine can also be diluted and used as the ultimate gloss enhancing quick detail spray, a clay lubricant, or a window cleaner.
General Tips and Instructions
If vehicle is excessively dirty with mud or large
amount of grit, pre-rinsing with a steady stream of water may be helpful.
Mix one ounce of Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine
per gallon of water in your wash bucket. It will take about three gallons of
water for an average size vehicle. While not absolutely necessary with this
product, we still recommend using a second bucket to rinse your wash mitt or
towel in frequently. Wash and dry a section at a time. It is good practice to
dry with two plush microfiber towels in succession to insure a streak free and
high gloss finish.
Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine is
environmentally friendly. After washing the vehicle, simply discard the wash
water in grass. The removed particulate and grime will filter in the soil,
leaving behind no environmental impact.
Adding a cap full of Optimum No Rinse Wash and
Shine to your regular wash soap will increase surface lubricity and help prevent
water spots and swirl marks.
