Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine

[Jersey John]

I don't know how many of you on here use Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine but I was hoping to get an opinion on its use against road salt because I have a car that is totally covered in salt, but I dont want to get the hoses out.

Supposed to be over 40 Sunday, of course it will be raining. Are you going to wash in the garage?

Yes, ONR will work fine on a salty car, you have to modify your technique a little vs. "plain" dirt. If you haven't done a rinseless wash before there's a few different schools of thought on it.

Never done a rinseless wash before so I'm looking for any help I can get and at this point I'll wash at any chance I get because I can't even open the door anymore without getting a handful of salt.

Do you have the ONR?

Do you have the ONR?

I bought an 8oz bottle a few weeks ago to try it out, but I didn't expect to use it until it got warmer

Look up on Youtube on how to use the ONR type products. There are tons of video's posted. Some even by Autogeek.com.
Just my $0.02 I would place some ONR type product in a spray bottle of some sort and presoak the panel your working on to get as much of the salt into a liquid form before dragging it across the paint.

Sounds like your vehicle is heavily contaminated. I would recommend power washing the vehicle off before performing a waterless rinseless wash.

If it were my car, I'd head to the coin-op to knock the big stuff before using ONR.

So are you going to wash in the garage or wait until it goes above freezing?

I don't have a spacious enough or warm enough garage to wash in so I'll probably wait until it gets above freezing.
