Today I finally got to using my ONR as a rinseless wash.One of the cars clean was very recently polished sealed and waxed,so the paint was smooth and slick to begin with. The other had been quick detailed just yesterday so paint was slick and smooth as well.
The cars although not very dirty had a good layer of pollen dust on them,I used my California duster to remove bulk of dust first.I used two buckets,one with ONR 1 oz./2 gal the other plain water.Wash media used was an Amaly Pro Plus(Lowes) Grout sponge in which I cut squares into similar to the LC sponge.
I cleaned 1 to 2 panels at time then drying with a generic MF cloth.I like how easily the sponge glided over the paint,and the drying was a snap.I noticed once done that the slickness of freshly detailed vehicles remained intact,also seemed to leave a nice gloss!
My vehicles are older with many scratches so I was not overly concerned with the possibility of creating more of them,I did not test for that aspect.Although the vehicles seemed fairly clean to prior,I was surprised how dirty my rinse bucket water had gotten.
Overall it was a quite pleasant experience,and was left with a great first impression of ONR.The grout sponge idea scared me a bit,but seemed to work very well.I never even considered washing my car with sponge before!
