Optimum No rinse users please respond

[BrianPow84]

I just recieved my order of supplies and I am going to use optimum no rinse for the first time. I see the you tube videos and looks like everyone uses a sponge, is that what you are suppose to use or is a microfiber wash mitt fine. Any one that is a user of this product that can help I will gladly take any info. How do you guys use this step by step. Thanks for the help

+1 for a wash mitt. Mine is some really shaggy microfiber mit.

I like to use a Proline grout sponge from Lowes, only cost like 2 dollars. I also will use from time to time a really long napped microfiber towel, that is usually if the car is a little dusty, otherwise it is the grout sponge. Its an amazing product, you will love it!!

I use the Meguiar's wash mit.

This is what I do:
1. fill about 4 gallons of water into a bucket and fill another one up completely
2. pour ONR into 4 gallon water bucket accordingly
3. place wash mit into bucket and place on car while still dripping
4. few good wipes (not hard wipes, just kinda use the weight of your hand) -- dirt comes off EASILY!!
5. wash mit into clean water bucket to rinse
6. dry off most of water with Meg Water Magnet, then re-dry same area with Supreme Shine MF towel to make area completely dry
7. repeat on rest of car

I like to start on the roof of the car and come down -- the first time I did this I did the roof last and ended up spending quite a bit of time drying off random streaks of water around the car! lol

ONR is a very easy product to use, and the shine after is FANTASTIC! I was very impressed with how shiny my car looks even WEEKS later while my car is dirty!! haha From a distance it shines..up close you can see it's dirty lol

Good luck man! Let us know how it goes!

I use a microfiber wash mitt gnerally, but I also use the Lowe's Pro-line grout sponge on the lower panels for my first wipe.

I use an MF towel. I fold it into quarters, drop it in the bucket and let it sit for a bit. Then I wring some of the excess water out- about half I'd say. Then use the wet towel to clean the panels. I keep a dry MF handy to dry (also quartered) as I go.

I turn the wet and dry towels to clean sections as needed just like I was using a QD or wiping off wax.
