I recently move to an apartment complex without a space to do a traditional car wash. Best option for me is to rinseless car wash.

Method and supplies I used:
Two bucket car wash
One bucket filled with 1oz ONR and 2 gallons of water
Other bucket with grit guard and about 2 gallons of water
ONR solution in a spray bottle for pre-soaking
One wash mitt (Meguairs microfiber wash mitt)
One waffle weave drying towel
One microfiber towel for final buffing

My thoughts on ONR,
Very easy to use and leaves the paint slick like just wax feel and no marring was left behind

I have yet to dry it as a clay lube and quik detailer

ONR is the best.

I received my first gallon last week. I hope to use it as a clay lube today.

I love the stuff! (And it keeps the wife some saying ''No wonder the water bill is so high.'')

I mixed some with distilled water for QD and clay lube too.

ONR and its siblings have been my most profound discoveries since the first time I tried clay.

ONR is one of the best inventions for car care in a while.

That I will try for sure once i get one, here in Honolulu HI, i think we only have one shop(Pakshak) for detailing products and its pretty hard since i mainly depend on Autogeek and ebay for my supplies...

Welcome to the world of rinseless wash, I too currently live in an apartment and have been using rinseless wash for about a year now and haven't looked back!

You stated a spray bottle for pre-soak and that's a great idea but only needed when the car's REAL dirty though. It works great as a quick detailer, especially when Klasse sealant glaze is mixed into the gallon yoou've made up ( 1 oz ) and leaves it clean and protected.

nice, rinseless washes are awesome!

Wait until you realize how much better rinseless washes (GD method) are!

My pre-soak is the same as my ONR solution(1oz:2gallons of water), every time I'll do a rinseless car wash, I just pour some of the solution in a spray bottle since i no like to waste a great product.

I also tried out Garry Dean's way of rinseless car wash and its a great technique too, but i have to wash 6-7 microfiber everytime i do the wash. So i prefer the 2 bucket method with one wash mitt.

Part of what's great about detailing is that everyone has their own way, and both can be safe! :dblthumb2:

I have found that Meguiar's D114 cleans better than ONR, although I use ONR/ONRWW for maintanence purposes.

Yet to try that out in the future..
