Best Waterless Carwash Product?

[gatoman39]

I am a big fan of the mantra, ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I would much rather spray QD, 2 or 3 times a week, than break out the hose, two buckets, towels, etc, etc.
SO...
Which is the best way to maintain a clean car.?(not wash a soiled one)

1. Quick Detailer like Last Touch or Meg #135
2. Waterless like Detailer's Pro Series Waterless Auto Wash (application similar to QD).
3. Optimum No Rinse, and the two water bucket system.
4. something else

My vote would be ONR or similar

Ultima Waterless Wash Plus. Mix 1/2 oz. in a 22 oz. spray bottle ( I like a pump spray bottle) and lightly mist a panel and wipe with a waffle weave or mf towel. Use a second towel for a final wipe. Leaves your paint clean and slick. Was an ONR fan for years, but now only use Ultima. For a hose wash try Ultima Paint Guard Wash.. slickest soap on the market.

Was an ONR fan for years, but now only use Ultima.

Besides dilution ratios, how do the two products differ?

ONR is a rinseless wash and Ultima is a waterless wash. I used just about every quick detailer on the market, but since using Ultima I don't use a QD anymore. I feel safer using Ultima as a QD as it has more lubricantcy (is that a word?),

Yes, I understand this, but when used in the 1/2 oz & 22 oz for the Ultima and 1oz to 16 oz for the ONR, both are essentially used as quick detailer waterless products.

No, ONR is not a waterless wash thus has less cleaning agents (polymers). This is why Optimum came out with a waterless wash called Opti-Clean.

Ultima, DP, and ONR .... all the best of the best.

well, it's marketed as being a rinseless car wash, clay lube, waterless wash and regular car wash enhancer.
Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine 128 oz. New Formula!

Again, ONR is not a waterless wash. Read your post, no mention of a waterless wash. Like I said if your looking for a waterless wash by Optimum, then use Opti-Clean.
