I moved from having a nice driveway and garage to a condo in the city. Needless to say, it's really hard to wash our cars. ONR gave me the same results as hose washing! Great product. I will probably buy the larger bottle next time.

I will probably buy it by a gallon next time. Very convenient, quick and effective for garage washing. I live in a condo and sometimes I'd rather wash my car in garage if it is too hot outside to use the washing area or when it is occupied. I also use it as quick detailer with great result! use 2 buckets method, no swirl.

This stuff is awesome. I had ordered a bunch of other stuff, and a sample of this stuff was added to my order. I tried it for the first time today, and all I can say is wow. ONR worked great on my E46. I used a 2 bucket wash method and the process was very easy and time effective. I don't think I've ever gotten done with a wash so fast and to have the result i got afterward is insane. I will never again go to one of those self wash places again. If you're on the fence about this stuff, you shouldn't be. The reviews don't do this product justice. It's that good.

What more can be said about this product? Its amazing, and extremely cost effective, it can be diluted to a wash addition, clay lube and quick detailer. I use it as a clay lube the most, closely followed by using it as a rinseless wash during drought season. A staple in my product arsenal that I cannot go without. Once you ONR you wont go back!

This stuff is even better than the old formula. It's even more slick than before, and it smells a lot better less chemical smell.

This is a superb product and I can guarantee I will always have it in my garage and when I start my business. This product really is superb in the fact that you can clean cars (and clean them well) in very cold temperatures, droughts, or in your garage out of direct sunlight. I have put down my hose and picked up ONR instead. I almost never use my hose anymore!! Quit reading this and just buy it already!!

Bought ONR and tested it on my parents 12 year old van that has never been washed and it made the car look great and still didn't swirl the paint. One of the best detailing products available, it's also a great lubricant for claybaring. I will be ordering the gallon next time.

My nomination for Best Detailing Product of the century! It's awesome for winter, and I love the fact that It cleans just as well as a conventional wash, yet I'm doing my part for the environment by not wasting all that water and having the runoff enter the storm sewer system!

Amazing! Why have I not heard of this stuff before, I have no idea. I will definately use this product again, and I will pass the word on to my friends and family. Makes washing large vehicles like a suburban go much quicker. And the car hold a shine.

Yes I would buy this again! Did a great job on my salt encrusted new car. I should have bought the detailer at the same time and read more about the instructions. Because while it was clean, there were some streaks. I ordered more stuff and will be cleaning it again next week. IDEAL for a winter driven car!!

I've been using ONR for almost 2 years now. For pre-rinsing I use a hand held pressurized fertilizer sprayer and in the winter I use the Nomad power washer to blast off salt, then wash away. I recommend the 2-bucket method on very dirty cars. I rarely use a garden hose anymore.

I really like this ONR wash. Very easy to use and saves a lot of water, which is a plus! Less drying time and I can use this anywhere. I would definitely buy ONR again.

I just bought this and couldn't wait to try it out. What a GREAT product! I live in New England, my new car was filthy, I didn't want to pay for a machine car wash, but it was 25-30 degrees outside. I used 1 bucket and 2 all-purpose MF towels. I was done it about 15 minutes, the car looked great, my hands weren't frozen and my driveway wasn't a skating rink. Fantastic!!

I also want to put a good word in for the guys at DI. The shipping was very fast as was the feedback. Twice, I emailed some questions and both times got an answer within a few hours. That is great response time at any time of the year, but within one week of Christmas, it's exceptional. Keep up the good work, guys!

Wow, this stuff is amazing! I used the two bucket method on my e46 that had a decent amount of winter grime on it and this soap just emulsified that dirt like nothing! plus is left an amazing shine and protection as well. Do not hesitate to buy this!

I have been using ONR for washing my cars for almost 4 years. I have access to a hose and can do a traditional car wash anytime I want to, but I enjoy the ease of use and water savings that ONR provides. I just purchased my 4th gallon, and will continue to use ONR until something better comes along.

Work great just as advertised. Very easy to use, I took my time using it the first time I wanted to see how it worked. Uses after that were quicker.

Best car wash product I've ever used. I can't believe it took me this long to use this. I'm using this for all my future washing, reserving soap washing to special occasions.

Combined with a LC Grout Sponge, I cleaned my car in 15 minutes (sans the wheels)
pencilReviewed by King C. on 9/18/2009
Would they buy this item again? Yes
This stuff works as advertised. I was skeptical at first but after six washes, I am now a loyal customer. I will only use this on my vehicles in the future. It was very easy and quick.
pencilReviewed by Bonson Y. on 9/6/2009
Would they buy this item again? Yes
It's cost effective and seems to do well, but I have really soft paint and I did get some light scratches compared to a traditional wash. It's probably user error, but I used 2bm, grit guard, Lowes' grout sponge and dried with waffle weave using blot technique.

ONR will serve as the middle ground between a traditional wash and quick detailer, to get very light dust off my car to prep for QD and QW. Good product, but will not be replacing a nicely lubed soap wash.

I was very skeptical at first, but once I tried using this on my car, I was sold. This stuff is awesome. Works just as advertised. Definitely will be ordering more when my 128oz bottle runs out. Makes drying so much easier. Get this stuff.

Short and sweet review-Buy it. Now.
No hype, it works as advertised, and the price is so reasonable for all that it does.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is a revolutionary product in the detailing industry. I order ONR by the gallon!
pencilReviewed by Chris C. on 7/31/2009

As good as everyone says. It probably cut my washing time in half. Plus, I was able to make quick detailer and clay lube out of it.

I bought ONR because I have very hard water and my hose faucets are not filtered. I was getting a lot of bad water spots with conventional washing. With ONR I can fill a bucket in the house where it is filtered and with no rinsing now I get no spots. It did a great job!

What is there to say about ONR that hasn't already been said and PROVEN? This stuff works! Its pretty scary but it works like a charm. You can wash a car in direct sunlight and not have to worry about water spots. You are able to focus in on the panel you are doing so you can do a better more complete wash. Overall it is quicker considering you usually have to keep the car completely soaked with water to avoid water spots. I have tried it with the 2 bucket method and the one bucket method, both work fantastic. The mitt seems to just glide over the paint and the ONR emulsifies the dirt right off the car. Just get ONR and try it a few times to get the hang of it. You won't be dissapointed!

For those reading all these reviews for the fifth time and still afraid to try this...JUST BUY IT. I was so afraid to try a product like this, and I can honest say that I haven't washed my car with a hose for 2 years now. One of the best products out there.
pencilReviewed by Micheal F. on 6/13/2009
Would they buy this item again? Yes
Nothing to say but to confirm all the previous reviews. This stuff is incredible. If anything, it works even better than I expected. Not only is it eco-friendly, it saves money and time--lower water bill and a lot quicker to wash with.

A definite must-have and I will buy it again.

I was very nervous about trying ONR. Even after thoroughly reading about it and the process(basically the same as a suds wash) I was skeptical. I tried it out after ordering on a daily special, and WOW! It was wild! It did a great job, removing all the dirt, and leaving the car silky smooth. It was super easy, and I had completely washed and dried my car in 35 minutes. It takes the better part of a day to wash the cars my wife and I have, and this will dramatically cut down on on that task. I will definately be ordering more. I can't wait to have a spotless car this winter!

This is some great stuff. It is so good that everyone that I've given samples to wants to order it for themselves or have me order them some. I want them to order their own. You will not be disappointed with this product at all. Buy some today.

I use it now exclusively for my black G35 because I've discovered it's the only product that will no produce fine scratches. All the other big name brands I've used throughout the years are really good but ONR is the best.

Only used it once so far and was very impressed. Curious to see how it looks now the car has had a detail with Zaino products. I'm sure it will look amazing!!

Use when you car is in the shade or under some kind of shelter.

If you are out of the heat this is an amazing product!!!

Great Stuff! Works as advertised. I like for the fact that you get enough to last quite awhile. Definitely works for people who live in an Apartment complex such as myself. Will continue to buy.

I live in an apartment where washing cars is strictly prohibited. The ONR allows me to wash my car in the comfort and warmth of my garage, and it does a GREAT job! I recommend watching the "how-to" video on YouTube, and using 2 buckets. But even in the summer, I'll probably still use ONR because it's so good.

Optimum No Rinse is truly a staple of our business and is used for nearly every exterior vehicle service Eco Auto Detail provides.

This product not only cleans well, it's easy to work with and consumes much less water than traditional wash methods. A great benefit when ordering supplies is finding and stocking a product that can perform multiple tasks, we also use Optimum No Rinse as a clay bar and wetsanding lubricant.

I have been using ONR about a year.

Since I am living in town house where car wash is strictly prohibited, ONR is my only option to wash my car in the garage.

I don't miss traditional car wash anymore. This works great! I would recommend to others.

Good product so far. Easily helps wash off dirt and debris from vehicle while leaving a nice shine afterwards. Makes conventional washing almost pointless since I can now wash my car in the comfort of my garage and not have to worry about debris blowing back onto my car. Would recommend!

great product to use to wash a vehicle on those very cold winter days. Works well i recommend using two buckets while using it one to wash and one to rinse your towel in.

ONR is great! Very easy to use and the results are awesome! Just cleaned my car in 40 degree weather after driving around in snow and dirt, after days of heavy rain. Had no problems removing all the dirt and getting everything cleaned up.

This stuff works great. Probably the one detailling item I will not be without. Very versatile product with many uses even beyond as a clay lube, qd, rinseless wash etc. Even on very dirty vehicles I just do a pre-rinse with a hose to release heavy dirt etc and then on to the ONR wash.
