What is the best waterless(or no rinse) car wash product on the market today? It’s been awhile since I have researched this topic and I was wandering if any new products in this category have hit the market recently.

Also, would these products really be safe to use on perfect, swirl free paint? Will they leave any type of marring if used properly?


I used to think this type of wash method would be a great alternative for the cold winter months. Now, however, I'm beginning to think it may be a great year-round washing method as I'm fed up with washing my cars the old fashioned way...it takes far too much time and effort.

All rinseless wash seems to perform similarly

While Googling, came across this

Appears to be a worthwhile mention to the usually suspects...

And this system seems like a great also ran

I have used the Griot's Garage spray wash product and it's good, but you go through a lot of it. I prefer and recommend Optimum No-Rinse. Two ounces in a couple gallons of water and you're in business. Just follow directions. I use it all year round, because I don't like putting a hose on my '87 560SL. Why tempt rust if you don't have to??

Almost everyone uses ONR.

Griot's Spray On Car Wash and Speed Shine work wonders. Sinse buying their products 18 months ago, have not conventionally washed ANY of my vehicles.

Thank you for the tips gentlemen...It looks like I'll be going with ONR.

I re-read your original post

Appears there's differences between "waterless" and "no rinse" aka "rinseless"

Seems replies were not specific towards either method

Guess it depends on your preference

Rinseless:

So it depends

There are two that we use all the time.

Optimum No Rinse with Wax

Optimum No Rinse - Original Formula

you can mix it into a spray bottle and use it in a sprayer as well for light dusted cars.

ONR is the best, without a doubt. Love all Optimum products so easy to use.

Hey Phil...when did they start making ONR with wax ???
What is your opinion of it /

Thanks

ONR is crazy good.

Mr. Sparkle

I've compared a few and I keep coming back to original ONR. Use it for rinseless washing and clay lube. Once mixed up as clay lube in a spray bottle I use it for door jambs and even for light interior cleanup

ONR is what I use.

No problems with ONR use on the black cars? That is the real test...

No hesitation. Just use the right stuff for wipe off. Fine shammy or good micro fiber is the key. I always throw some wax on after to make it shine. I run my flex 3-4x a year with polish on the car to keep swirls away just FYI.

I was going to order some of this, try it over the winter. Sort of forgot:
