First Wash with Optimum No Rinse-I'm impressed
#17
That's good to know. After some spirited driving on wet roads yesterday, my once black car looks like I entered a monster truck rally. It was well worth it because I was able to tag along in my baby boxster with a C4S and a Turbo on the back roads of Kentucky.

I just used this stuff this afternoon...holy moley did it work well!! used two micro fibers to wash the whole car and then shammyed it dry...took 15 minutes Curious, should this stuff only be used on a partially dirty car?, or can it be also be used if the car is quite dirty? Was not sure if it was advisable to use if there is dirt / grit on the car, or just that dust and grime from day-to-day driving?
Also, what are you guys then using at the end to clean your rims? Did not feel comfortable using the same microfibers on the rims, as they were dirty as all get out....Any thoughts based on what you guys are using?
Thanks guys

Cole, Please use some Waffle Weave MFs to dry the car, the "shammy" does not leave anywhere for the dirt to go. So you will drag the dirt across the surface. You can use some older MFs or pickup some cheap from sam's club for the wheels. Do the wheels last of course.
Also just want to ensure that you are using the 2 bucket method.....
You can always mix up a bottle of pre-soak ONR. 1/2 oz ONR to 12 oz of water. Spray that on the lower panels and areas that get really dirty. Some use a garden sprayer for this task as well when the car is really dirty.

Excellent GM thanks I was VERY happy today, but the car was only daily driver type dirty Also, is the 2-bucket method preferred due to the ability to let one mitt soak in water to let the dirt fall out rather than it falling in the ONR bucket.? Thanks

Cole, Yes the water bucket to go into after wiping off a panel. Then wring out your towel or mitt. Place it back into the solution bucket and continue with the next panel.
This will keep all the dirt out of the solution bucket.
With your soft clear coat, I would use the 2 bucket method each time.

I found using a mf towel much better than using a mitt or shmitt.
