Water wash or waterless wash?

I've used ONR Wash and Shine on my cars for a few years now and I don't notice any marring of the paint surfaces (at least not any extra marring than would be introduced by a careful two-bucket traditional wash method). On a light to medium soiled car I follow the ONR directions for a rinseless wash. However, I first liberally spray each panel (with a quick detailer made from the ONR wash) to presoak it before starting the rinseless wash. I think this simple extra step goes a long way to helping to avoid marring. The key is to use ample wash and a light touch. Save your elbow grease for scrubbing your dishes or the grill. I'll usually resoak my microfiber washcloth and rewash each panel one or two times before drying to make sure that I removed all of the dirt so that I'm not creating sand paper with my drying towel. A two-bucket method works well here if the car is moderately dirty. Also,I find that using distilled water for this wash routine gives extra impressive results as my tap water is very hard and contains a lot of minerals. I'm a big fan of ONR!

If the car is very dirty, I'll do a traditional wash with the ONR (i.e., garden hose and two-bucket wash method).

 

Another ONR (Optimum NoRinse) User here.
I've used it in a Rinseless Wash & as a Waterless wash (add a little bit to water in a spray bottle}
Haven't seen any scratches or swirls due to the use. Paint is still flawless.

Ideally all this depends on how dirty the car is & paint type.
I use it on my 430, 355 & also my C7 Vette
My 64 & 68 Vette have Single Stage Paint which is more fragile but easier to Correct with a DA Polisher. I do use ONR on these as they are never very dirty either & the added benefit is keeping Water from getting trapped in the 50+ year old frames & other areas promoting rust.

 

To presoak the car I simply use a large spray bottle filled with a "quick detailer" I make from the ONR Wash and Shine (2 ounces of ONR to 32 ounces of distilled water). I do this one panel (or sometimes two panels) at a time so the presoak does not dry before washing. The presoaking technique provides good lubrication to help avoid scratching the paint while washing.

 

Hi.

I’ve been using Aero Cosmetics for untreated original paint(458), wrapped (458S), and ceramic coated(GT3).

Works great especially for the latter two. I have a quicker trigger to hand wash or spray wash on untreated original paint. My 458 was Nero so it was even more worrisome.

Aero has plenty of lubricants, but surprisingly it doesn’t leave a lot of film behind. I prefer it over Chemical Guys and Adams.

Hope this helps.

 

I blow dry mine but have not ceramic coated it. Not sure what you mean

 

It'll work more efficiently and faster with a coated car vs non-coated as it's less porous.

 

Yup! Ceramic coated, the only way to fly!
