To wash your vehicle, do you need a pressure washer? No. Do you need a hose? No. In this video I wash a dirty vehicle using nothing but a bucket (about 2 gallons of water), a wash mitt/Optimum’s Big Red Sponge, a microfiber drying towel, and Optimum No Rinse (ONR). I’ll be honest—when I first heard about rinseless washes I was super skeptical. A professional detailer explained how ONR works, I tried it, and I’ve been using it for over a year now. At this point, I recommend it to pretty much everybody I talk to. I break down why ONR is safe (and why it doesn’t scratch when you use it correctly): the polymers encapsulate dirt, separate it from the paint, add a ton of lubrication, and help break grime down into less abrasive particles. I also show my process tweaks—like pre-spraying each panel with a cheap pump sprayer, washing one panel at a time, and “gliding” the sponge instead of rubbing. Then I use Opti-Seal as a drying aid (one spray per panel) to add protection and make the finish look slick. My big takeaway: ONR makes it easy to wash in the garage with the door shut in winter (or in extreme summer heat), it doesn’t mess with coatings/wax/PPF, and it cut my wash time down to about 23 minutes—so I can keep my vehicles clean more often.
