Rinseless options.which would you pick and why?

[Daviddear30]

I'm liking the convenience of rinseless washes. I've read and watched tons of links. I have currently only typed the OTC one by turtle wax.

I want to order some but I'd like to hear from people who have tried more than one different ones.
Duragloss, onr, etc.
I'd like to prob order a gallon since it's so much cheaper that way but I don't want to be stuck with a gallon.

Wish they had like 4oz samples of these :-(


This would be just maintenance washes on a pretty clean black car. So something that rarely ever streaks would be ideal


Thanks

I like megs express wash. Its pretty slick compared to other ones ive tried. I've used these and gary deans. Express wash won't streak if done in the shade.

Dilute for waterless or rinseless washes.

Now If you're wanting a Rinseless-wash with a
Wax-component, I'll suggest Meguiar's D115.

Although I still have some ONR and plenty of UWW+ conc., I have a gal. of D114 on the way.

Thanks. I have not even read much about the megs d114.

Now to decide if I want wax mixed in like DG or the wax less megs one. Sounds like megs doesn't streak :-)

Now after looking at megs brand on AG I see several of their products I'd like to try

I've been using meguiars D115 for over a year now and I love it it gives a great amount of cleaning power and it leaves a shine and slickness afterwords. Was recommended to me by my professional detailer who posts on this forum. I buy it from auto geek and it lasts a while and I use a microfiber cloth to take it off and a separate microfiber cloth to buff. I only make one pass with the cloth when I'm removing it and then I fold it into fours to remove the product and dirt. I do give it a good application with a lot of product

I wouldn't try anything else it's very easy to apply and take off leaves a great shine and I mix it at 4 to 1 ratio

I think this product doesn't get enough good reviews because people haven't tried it but I wouldn't use anything else and I haven't used it on my black Lexus and now I use it on my ultra white Lexus

Thank you Joe from Superior Shine here in Los Angeles for recommending it you are the best!!!!

Both ONR and ONRWW come in 8oz sizes. You can get a 2oz sample of the Blackfire rinseless for free with your $95 order, or buy it for $7. The DG wash comes in a 16oz bottle for $11 here. For the Meg's products that only come in gallons, if you search carefully for solutions you can find places that sell quarts of those products.

As far as the performance, the Optimum rinseless products stain the wash media. They say this is because of the superior emulsification of the dirt allows it to penetrate deep into the fibers and become trapped, and that whatever it is that causes the stain is not dangerous to your paint.

That may be, but when your media turns permanently black, it's hard to tell how much dirt is coming off the car when you are washing, which is fairly critical as far as knowing when to rinse your media. Part of my brain wants to believe that this characteristic means that ONR works/cleans better...the other part of my brain says the other products seem to work as well.

The DG rinseless and the Meg's don't stain the media at all. I haven't used the Blackfire. Oh, and I haven't experienced any more streaking with the DG or ONRWW vs. ones without "wax".

I mix it at 4 to 1 ratio

4 to 1 ?!

[Setec Astronomy]

4 to 1 ?!

That's the way that D115 is...I kind of balked at that when it was introduced...makes it very expensive.
