ONR vs CarPro Ech2o for Rinseless Wash

**Whacky** · 03-14-2018, 09:13 PM

So I happen to have both products laying around and was going to take a stab at doing a rinseless wash on my Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra coated car.

Anyone care to comment about the effectiveness of Ech2o vs the gold standard ONR?

Likely going to use the GD method with multiple MF towels.
But I also have the Big Red Sponge to work with as well.

Any thoughts on these two?

Ech2o is now the gold standard!

Ech2o is good but in my case I had to make a 2nd or 3rd wipe to buff it off. If you have the time, then it leaves a nice glossy finish.

ONR takes less wiping IMO.

There’s a little bit of a learning curve with the BRS but it works good when done properly, otherwise I’d stick with GD method if that’s what you’re used to.

Ech2o seems to clean better then ONR...it feels stronger and slicker on paint. Its a really good product but I hate the haze it leaves behind. If you dont wipe it off good enough (like FrankS said before me, you have to do it 2 or 3 times) it will leave a haze similar to wax residue.

One product that really suprised me was Surf city garage rinse free wash & wax. I havent a bad say about it. Its slick, it cleans well, it wipes off well (no streaking), gloss is amazing after, can be used as a waterless, rinseless, QD, interior cleaner... Great product.

Echo20 doesn't even advertise as a rinseless wash sooo...

I've never had a hazing issue with Ech2o

That’s because using it as a rinseless wash was a complete afterthought and not something Carpro originally intended for the product. They were basically coerced by their consumers into giving an official recommended dilution ratio for rinseless use after initially releasing the product as a waterless wash concentrate.
