Testing the LIMITS of Optimum NO-RINSE! 😱 

Happy to see some Optimum products being utilized again. I really love the old demo videos with Yvan.

I used ONR for the first tim this past weekend to detail a whole truck. Holy crap! I’m a believer. The results were amazing!

Thanks Levi for re-highlighting ONR and its capabilities to clean and remove dirt from a car without much effort and use of water. I feel that ONR has been pushed to the rear over the past few years as many new products keep coming on the market. Ozz

I use ONR for my mobile business. Throw one gallon of water in a bucket and a few super plush towels, then I fill a 2 gallon sprayer with ONR, and a bottle of power clean to degrease tires or remove bugs. With those 3 gallons I can wash about 3 cars including using it to rinse down the wheels after using power clean. I actually prefer a chenille mitt for washing-but the towels let me keep my bucket clean 🤷🏼‍♂️ also, using a larger pump sprayer so you can really soak down and rinse the panels, you can easily get around an average Sedan with 1-2 towels. With the other heavy hitter on the market ONR may not have the “best” dilutions but we’re taking less than a dollar difference in dilutions. UBS works just fine as well, I just find it works *better* on protected or previously ONR washed vehicles. Would recommend the ultra wash pad/mitt over the Cyclone pads (TRC recommends that as well) the cyclones due to their 70/30 blend actually leave the panel too dry after a pass and make it more difficult to dry without re wettting the surface.

I just did my salt stained car with ONR. When I came inside and went on RU-vid this video was recommended so of course I had to watch it. I used the ONR the same way you did. Great result. What a great way to wash our vehicles!

This is the magic that everyones been wanting to see! I've been a huge ONR fan since I first used it a few years ago.

Just a fantastic video. I love how you emphasize that it's a skill to develop and learn. I've gone all rinseless with my detailing and I love it. I definitely use less water. I'm putting in a greater level of attention to detail and care and I tend to get to know the customer's cars really well.

ONR is one of those products everyone needs in their arsenal!

I've had great success using multiple towels, that way there is no way to contaminate the solution. Also multiple wash mitts - big laundry afterwards, but ONR is fantastic!!

This is my go to .... been doing it since I started 7 yrs ago. Ive used this to clean commercial rigs with hella dirt n grease. Using it with other chemicals as well. Great vid

Nicely done. Timely information just when we need it. I love the way TRC teaches without selling, informs without hype, and entertains without gimmicks. All this, and top-notch production quality unmatched in this niche. This video is the kind of gift that makes me want to order from TRC - to say thank you and “keep it coming!” The products and support are excellent, too.

You guys are always awesome thank you for doing this. I tell people I use ONR to wash my car regardless of the contamination level of the surface and some people dont believe it works even when used properly. Currently washing it with salt and other junk on the surface of my black car in the garage and have yet to see a swirl or scratch mark from it. Just rinse it with some diluted onr or a hose first and wash as normal. Super easy

I used ONR this winter several times... pressure washing at the car wash first, then driving home and doing a rinseless wash with three gallons of distilled water and three capfuls of ONR. Each car that was washed this way(several times) shows no new scratches or any form of marring. I like using Obsessed Garage's drying aid with a gauntlet towel. Works like a charm! Thanks, Levi!

I used griots garage rinseless wash with 2 bucket plus wash mitts and have yet to see any scratches on my customers vehicles. I'm definitely going to try onr after seeing this video. Thanks for sharing!

ONR does it’s job, the doubters just ain’t gotta use it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Been using ONR for 4 years now.... AWESOME Product! We're here in central Wisconsin, and I even use it in the winter! Thanks Levi, for the great demo!

I’ve been a believer since I first used it. Was I skeptical at first? Heck yeah! I like that you can use warm (well, room temp distilled) water in the garage in the wintertime. I’ll prespray the whole vehicle, then come back and reapply and wash with the LBS. Using y’all’s towels to dry, perfect!

My process is exactly the same for rough Canadian winters.

Great work and info, thanks.

It’s always a blast testing limits. Great video gents.

I use in the winter months too cool outside. Great stuff

Nice! Please do a video comparing ONR to P&S Pearl when it comes to rinseless. Thank you!

I use ONR on weekly basis to do maintenance wash in the garage, really easy and quick. One recommendation is , make sure u have a really good drying towel to wipe it off and follow by a leave blower. I also like to carry a small spay bottle of ONR with me in the car on longer trip, so I can easily take it out to clean surface if I get bugs or bird poop.

I will always believe you and Anthony and Brian at Apex before most other professional detailers. You guys are legit!!! MAD RESPECT FROM EAST LONG BEACH 💯

Good video, I'm a fan of ONR. Seeing those keys hanging off Levi's jeans makes me nervous even though he has tons of space around him. 😃

The worx hydroshot really is incredible for this. Can mix up a five gallon bucket with hot water, work my way around the vehicle blasting off 90% of the crud, and pulling it into the garage (or continuing outside if it’s a warmer day in winter) to finish up with a few towels in the same bucket. I actually seldom ever use traditional car soap, just because things like ONR and N914 can just be dried straight away without the need for a drying aid. I will say I think rinseless products really shine when combined with a pressure washer. Traditional car soap just seems so archaic to me.

My truck is filthy right now. This is just what I needed. Thanks Levi.

I have the ONR. Smells amazing and the results were dramatic. Wow ✊

Unless my Accord is only very slightly dirty, I always pre-treat using a pump-up sprayer. Depending on how dirty it is I will use ONR, ONR Wash & Wax, or sometimes Opti-Clean in the winter months. It works great.

This is perfect for us in CA with water restrictions due to the drought. Doing this today!

Hi Levi what a truck great vid can I ask you why can you not have more water coming out the sponge is there a reason cheers mark

Well I was a bit skeptical on this but oh my , I found the solution to my no garage, no water, no pressure washer problem. I use this on a sedan that had not been washed properly for a month and suffered dust, heavy rain and the grime was baked due to the hot Greek Summer. What an unexpected result was that. Ι followed the spray first and wash afterwards with a microfiber mitt and dried with a bit of beadmaker. Standard dilution. Thank you guys for sharing the knowledge.

Great informative video, as an additional precautionary method I take about 5-6 microfiber towels and soak them in the bucket. I use 1 towel per panel and put the used towels in a separate bucket. This further minimizes any possible scratching. ONR is extremely versatile.

Very cool. Thank you.

It’s actually nice to see ONR being used on a dirty vehicle. Many of these ONR videos start with a clean car, which is kinda pointless. A great video showing how a great product can achieve great results!

I love ONR! As the owner of a dark colored car, keeping it clean is a pain. I wash all year with it in WI and being able to wash in my heated garage during winter is fantastic. Tip: squeezing your sponge/rag over each panel before wiping helps minimize scratches and will rinse a ton of dirt off before washing.

Nice to see more Optimum products. Innovators and no hype. USA made too.

Probably the most efficient and effective wash product available.

Finally practical truth, no hype just the facts.!!!👍

ONR forever my FAV and will always be in my arsenal

Cracking video as always

Just used ONR to do a quick clean up of my car for a sunny day. Oh man this stuff just makes cleaning a breeze. My car is ceramic coated so I was able to get my car to that 90ish percent clean and show off that clean polished ceramic coated boost blue paint. Does ONR work well with bead maker after cleaning Or should I save the bead maker for traditional car washes?

I wash my personal vehicles in the garage all winter that are covered in salt with a just a pre spray and ONR . I do use a chenille wash mitt saturated with ONR and two buckets

heeeyy that's a good looking bucket there. Anymore info on it?

Once again great job Folks!!

I love ❤ this presentation!

I've got a big dually 4x4, black paint, much like that one. It's a big vehicle. Even on a warm cloudy day, I have a hard time getting around the vehicle with a foam cannon, washing with a mitt and getting to the rinse cycle before the soapy solution starts to dry on the paint, leaving water spots. I gotta try this rinseless wash solution, both for quickness, and ease of use. Generally speaking the truck get's dirty from rain and road grime. I don't go mudding or anything like that. It would be nice to be able to do a rinseless wash in my garage at high noon. I don't think I'd do a rinseless if it was that dirty. just because grit. I'd at least pressure wash the heavy stuff off outside before proceeding with the rinseless wash inside the garage. But it's nice to know that I probably could if I had to. I've been reading about the versatility of ONR . It's probably time to get some and try it out.

I used it for the first time last weekend. It is pretty impressive.

Just did this this today on my Altima covered in white road salt spray!!

this is the vid i needed to see

I am using a industrial dry steam cleaner which is specially designed for the car wash industry. It’s quite capable of removing dirt even on dirtier cars. However, I was using a alkaline prewasher in order to save time and make the washing more smooth and safe for the surface - exactly the way you did it in the video. Anyway, maybe I could try this ONR instead of the product I am using (Green Star from KC) just for a comparison

It's amazing I have seen all the claims optimum makes about onr first hand a dirty bucket will be clean in 15 minutes and the dirt just encapsulates into a bubble

Great video but im guessing my Multi pro 2 is damaged because it does not go out with the same amount of pressure

would adding a detailer/drying agent materially improve the result? If so, what brand do you recommend? ThankS!

The first time I bought ONR I wasn't sure what I got myself into but then I finally tried it. Call me crazy but I use it before the main wash on my daily driver to knock down the gunk. I prefer to keep 10 gallons of distilled water on hand and 10 gallons ready to go for my Hydroshot since I do the majority of my washes at my apartment. One of those would be great for cleaning out the wheel well liners during the winter!

I were super skeptical about ONR when it came out, but Levi and Yvan has def turned me around, Im trying to use more OPT products, where i feel like they will benefit me. Hyper Polish, love it when its possible pre coating, and ONR to remove polish, one of the best things you can do.

I am using ONR and as a drying aid I tried Instant Detailer & Gloss on a car and Car Wax on another car but in both cases the cars were full of dust after a few hours because the body attracts it. In drying I used 1500 twisted by TheRag and Everest by TheRag. Is this dust problem the consequence of my application error or is it a problem already encountered?

Proof that ONR can do the job, period. Yet you missed showing the shocking truth, once you dump out the water and look below the grit guard the oily grime is holding onto the bucket. As Yvan Lacroix often states, soap is best for your hands.

It's about time that we see this stuff used on dirty cars- cars that many detailers will actually see, especially in the winter!

Sir, are you using a grit guard? Thank you, nice video.

After using ONR like this, do I need to clay bar or use clay mitt before spraying on paint sealant? Or, no?

You can get a lot more "right times" for rinseless with a battery powered back pack sprayer. Check out the My4Sons M4. I have the lion battery and the 100 psi pump. With a tank (4 gallon) or two you can knock off most salt and debris with just tap water, then make up your ONR batch and wet down the whole vehicle in a few minutes. surprising that many more mobile detailers aren't taking advantage of these sprayers to bump up their winter work calendars.

for got to ask , will ONR work with reg. tap water or is it just with distilled / filtered ? thanks again for your help !

How much quantity need to presoak/prewash with sprayer to do a full size size ram?

Hello, if i want to prerinse my car with ONR before Rinseless. What dilution should i do ? QD dilution like n914 or standard dilution in my bucket ? Thx

Question...rather belated.....is there any advantage to house down the car after the initial ONR spray ??? Been using ONR since 2011 and if my cars get really filthy (like that truck) l use a foamer prior to the ONR wash. l'd feel safer if l house down the car in this instance

How often do you dunk the sponge in the bucket? After every pass?

Im just waiting patiently for ONR to become available again here

What about bugs on the front of the vehicle using onr? Sometimes light pressure doesn’t take them off.

So many rinseless washes out there. I have use ONR and many of them. It’s a good product. I will say when I used it, the dirt didn’t go all the way down to the bucket. But I use the multiple towel method so I don’t have to worry about dirt or girt guards. I have just found better IMO rinseless washes I like better N914 and American detailer garage wipeout. Do I still use OnR? Yeah it’s good but I just like others better.

I have not had much success with heavily soiled surfaces even with pre treating by trying to dispell the dirt with a lower pressure cordless pressure washer. It works ok in those situations but I feel like I need two passes in those situations.

Thank you!

is ONR an ideal maintenance wash for a ceramic coated vehicle?

Most relevant for midwesters in the winter. Our hoses are put away and when we get 40*-45* days, we want to wash and not break out the cold hoses.....

Can you use this product with a pressure washer & foam gun?

One thing I don't get is how you clean trim and crevices with onr wash .

Can/should you use onr under the hood?

How many ounces of ONR did you put in the pump sprayer?

TRC Let’s gooo

Great stuff! I’m newbie and in London, UK. I wanna start a detailing business mainly using rinseless washing. To all you professionals here, I struggle to decide pricing, please help?

After I used ONR the first time I never ever went back to soap and two buckets and showy foam. ONR helped me become a man not a show off teenager.

could you use a foam sprayer? or you think it wouldn’t help

I will never go back to soap and water. I now wash my cars in the garage in a fraction of the time. I love it.

I'd like to see a clear bucket before/during/after the process to confirm that the ONR is in fact pulling the dirt to the bottom. I just thought of the idea, not hating on the product, I use it, but just thought it'd be cool to see and confirm.

Is this safe to use on a wax-protectant treated surface?

Coming from the uk, this vehicle looks like a tank! I get tired washing my car and I think it’s big. (Tiguan) I would have to take a nap in the back if I was washing the tank!

The pressure sprayer is filled with the same ratio onr/water? It a ratio of Roughly 1:30 ONR/water…that’s sufficient??

Can you guys explain to me the difference between Optimum No Rinse and Shine, like you’re using and Optimum No Rinse and Wax? I’ve seen the ONR and Wax on Amazon and I am just wondering if they’re different in any way. Thank you.

Can I use Onr as a drying aid? What dillution ratio would you suggest? 😃

Where is all the dirt and water going once it hits the floor?

why is no one talking about adding ONR to their water tanks .. running through the pressure washer ? Its game changing ! try it

Shame on Dane! For your viewers who have never used ONR, it's a Game Changer! For about $20.00, you can wash your car about 500 times! WOW!

I have a question why is it that when I used onr the dirt stayed on top

yup swapping to ONR. california drought making pressure washer look wasteful imo. this video only makes the case for switching even more convincing. question though. is the pump sprayer enough to loosen MUD truck dirt thats really caked on? or is that something only the pressure washer can tackle? will i have to to turn away those type of jobs?

Levis beard is looking GODLY.

Can you just use tap water to fill up buckets for this method?

Onr is the best

if it pulls dirt down to the bottom, why not add a little bit to your foam canon with other shampoos like rest or gentle snow foam?

I use one every time I need to wash

For a truck this dirty best to drive to a self service car wash and rinse off that top layer of dirt then do a pre spray with onr and do the rinseless wash.
