Any word on the new Optimum "No Rinse Wash & Wax"

[Vegas Transplant]

True, but why would anyone want to use regular ONR now? You still have to do a wipe down before a coating, so why not take advantage of the increased protection of this product?

ONR '12 is an excellent product for rinseless rag top maintenance.




I don't think that I would want the carnauba on my rag top.

I wrote a brief review on it here Product Review: Optimum No Rinse w/ Carnauba

Really is awesome!

I have used the new ONR+C and it is very nice. It's like using ONR and applying OCW post wash without the extra step or time.


I also think there is a market for both ONR & ONR+C. ONR will be good for regular washing and ONR+C can be a monthly wash and wax. It can even be an upgrade for Detailers offer a wash and wax without having to add the added waxing step...

Dave, I use regular ONR as clay lube and then use it as my final wipe down prior to coating. I don't want any wax interfering with the bond of the coating. I'll stick to regular ONR for coating jobs, and use the DG (AW) version on my personal vehicles.

I never liked ONR for clay lube, I always found the clay to drag a bit too much for my liking with it. As for a wipe down, the only wipe down I do before a coating is with Eraser or IPA. I don't want any of the polymers from ONR messing with the bonding of the coating. That is all just how I do it, so I understand that other people do it differently with great results.

Agreed!!!!

I use HD Touch as a clay lube and quick detailer. It works awesome and is cheap!

My understanding of what I've read on this forum about optimum products is:

That if you're using their products and plan on using an optimum coating then there is synergystic compatibility between the products and therefore there is no need to worry about polymers interfering with the coating and no need to do a wipe down with IPA or Eraser.

Perhaps Chris or Dr. G. will chime in and either confirm or correct my comments.

I have seen that written, however I have also seen people say you have to do an OPC wash before applying Opti Coat. Secondly, many people here use coatings other than OC/OG, I use Finest from time to time, and I know I would never trust washing with ONR and going right to the coating.

Like to see the new ONR w/carnauba vs the Pinnacle WW w/carnauba comparison.

I will be comparing ONR+C to Pinnacle Rinesless +C...
