- Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax – Rinseless Car Wash Formulated with Carnauba Wax with UV Protection - For Cars, RVs, Trucks, Motorcycles and more (32 Oz)

As someone who actually enjoys washing their car at home from time to time, I was thrilled to discover the Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax. Firstly, it's incredibly easy to use. Simply mix a capful of the concentrate with two gallons of water, then use a microfiber towel to wipe down your car. The solution effectively lifts dirt and grime from the surface, and the added wax provides a sleek, glossy finish and protects the paint from UV rays. The best part of this stuff is because it requires no rinsing, you can wash your car anywhere, anytime, without worrying about water runoff. This is especially handy for urban dwellers or anyone without access to a hose, or if you're like me and live somewhere that is experiencing a constant drought so there is regular water use restrictions in place. I will say you have to have some patience with it, as it's important to wash and dry each part of your car one section at a time or else you can end up with a streaky or spotty finish as I found happening to me the first time. I did find that heavily soiled areas may require a bit more effort as well, so while I personally will find it handy for in-between or regular washes, I'd still recommend a more traditional car wash should your car be in more roughed-up condition. In conclusion, the Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax is a fantastic product for car owners who want an efficient, eco-friendly way to keep their car looking great. It’s easy to use, provides excellent protection, and conserves water.

So many good reviews. I've owned the same car for 14 years and decided this year to buy a new (to me) car. I love cars and I've learned over the years what to do and not to do in the world of car washing. I also know that going from a white car to a darker color car is hard because white is so easy to keep clean. I typically waxed my cars at least once a year. Apparently I wasn't doing that right because when I sold my old car I had paint pealing along the top of the doors. So I decided with this car I was going to try and keep it cleaner and be sure to keep a good coat of wax or polish on the car. I have plans to do a paint restoration to this new car because it needs it but it's a beautiful color and even with all the imperfections it looks great. I bought a soap cannon and a new electric power sprayer and love to wash my car. I bought Meguiars Waterless car wash and wax from O'Reilly's and it worked great as an after wash detailer. But after one wash the water would stop beading up. So I found this and saw different ways of using it. I mix 1oz to 1 gallon of distilled water and pour that into a 32 oz spray bottle. With a large microfiber cloth I'll spray wipe on and wipe dry similar to the Meguiars. I used it on a mild dirty car folding the cloth to try and keep a wet and dry side with an extra cloth to help get it fully dry. I was pleasantly surprised after the first time I washed the car with dirt on the car. I'm not that comfortable with anything heavier than a mild dirt layer but I'm sure with a bucket of water and a good presoak as others have done it works great with heavier dirt. I also bought the Optimum spray wax. It works great and along with these two products I'll be able to keep my paint continually clean and protected. With the occasional soap cannon and pressure washer wash during the warmer months. Lastly it smells great. It's interesting how these car cleaning companies have made their products smell good over the years. I never really noticed it 'till people starting saying something about it but it is a nice touch when your working hard to clean your car. It's also very easy and less time consuming. I'm going to shoot for clean the cars after a rain shower or at least twice a month. Great product, I would recommend this product, just be sure to read the directions and use it correctly or you might scratch your paint.

This product is a total game-changer! The fact that you can wash your entire car with just one bucket of water is incredible. It’s perfect for saving time, conserving water, and even washing in places where a hose isn’t an option. The cleaning power is impressive. It easily lifts dirt and grime without much effort, and the added wax leaves a shiny, polished finish that makes the car look freshly detailed. I’ve used it on both my car and my truck, and it works perfectly every time. It’s gentle on the paint and doesn’t leave any scratches or streaks. The process is super easy: mix it with water, wipe with a microfiber cloth, and you’re done—no rinsing required. The 32 oz. bottle lasts a long time, too, since you only need a small amount for each wash. This is one of the best car care products I’ve used. It’s convenient, effective, and leaves my car looking great without the hassle of traditional washing. Highly recommend!

I have a black car and am experienced at correct methods for keeping it looking good and SWIRL free. The issue is the amount of time it takes to do correctly. Twice a year I do clay, ultimate compound, wax and it looks like new. Have used everything from Chemical Brothers ( soap, towels) Mcquires, Griot, Mother's etc. The issue is keeping it clean and saving time using traditional methods. I have been reluctant to use any " quick detail sprays " as cleaners and only used on already clean car for small smudges etc. After all reviews on this I gave it a shot and if used correctly it works well. I used large bucket, 5 microfiber mitts, 4 chemical brother micofiber towels. My car had not been washed in week and had decent amount of dirt on it. Step 1. Used $10 large pump sprayer with just water to blast off some of the dirt. 2. Soaked mitts in water/product and work.one panel at a time making sure I used different part of mitt on each pass to avoid dragging dirt across car. Once ALL dirt was gone step 3 3. Made spray bottle 32 ounces water, 2 caps product (like detail spray) and with dry microfiber towels worked recently cleaned area. Spray, wipe dry . Repeat. Sounds like alot of work but it's not, 20 minutes, car is clean , no swirls. Because you can get decent microfiber mitts for under $5 it's well worth having many verse risking using one or two for whole car imo. I also find they grab dirt better vs towels Very good result and much slicker vs. the wash/ and rinse product from these guys. If you don't have black car this is no brainer and did my wife's white RRover in 15 minutes knowing swirls were not likely on white car. If you are tired of hoses, buckets etc. Give this a try, if getting good result is goal you can get away with following their directions. If you have black car and detest swirls my method works.

Good, but not any better or worse than Meguiar's Xpress, Quick Detailer, or Wash and Wax. Here's what I did: 1) Used a thick micro fiber towel, folded in quarters 2) 1 Gal tap water + 1 cap of Optimum NR WW 3) Let towel soak in solution 4) Made a 32 oz solution using distilled water + 2 caps of Optimum NR WW (found amounts on internet write-up) 5) Using towel, rung out most of solution so it wasn't super dripping wet. 6) Towel black Prius a panel at a time with solution, wiped one direction when applying solution, would flip to new quarter similar to if I was using a spray to do a waterless wash 7) Did not ring towel out in bucket of solution. Instead, rinsed towel out in sink using fresh water. Placed towel back in solution bucket before working on next panel 8) Wiped current panel with a thick micro fiber towel, one direction, then wiped again to dry panel completely 9) Repeated Steps #5-#8 until entire car was cleaned. Took me about 35 minutes to clean entire car, used about 6 micro fiber towels to dry, used about 1/4 to 1/2 of bucket of solution. Most of the time was spent wash out solution towel in order to get dirt out. Don't care what folks say, but dirt is in the towel. Rinsing out with fresh water before putting back into solution bucket will reduce any dirt introduced by just ringing out dirty towel in solution bucket. Just trying to reduce any dirt debris from scratching that soft Japanese paint that Toyotas are known for. Result - ONR Wash and Wax cleaned the car just as well as using Meguiar's X-press wax, Quick Detailer or Waterless Wash and Wax sprays. I did find that I needed to go over with car with the 32oz ONR WW spray solution I made before starting just to give a more slick finish. Using just the 1 cap and bucket of water did not leave the car slick to the touch (compared to just using a quick detailer spray to clean). I'm gonna stick with ONR WW because I feel it is more cost effective for $ 20 and I think I'll get more washes using ONR WW than the Meguiar products. I'd skip the Big Red Sponge and just use a nice thick microfiber towel and the solution. But seriously, all the rave that people put on this product. It's good and cost effective. Does the job, but once again not any better or worse than the Meguiar products. If you start with a washed car, clay it, then use ONR, then use ONR as a detailer spreay it will always look shiny. It's easier once you start and continue with this type of detailing regiment to keep your car shiny and new looking. Hope this helps folks wanting to try this product for the first time.

I am blown away by this product. I recently bought a new car whose manufacturer recommends hand wash only, never an automated wash. We have serious water restrictions currently in force, so I tried the local hand wash car wash a few times, with so-so results and a lot of time and money spent. Then I read on a forum about this product, including a very detailed explanation of the best method to use it. (plenty of clean microfiber mitts and two buckets, washing one area at a time). I decided to try it. I was skeptical, to say the least. How a no-rinse product was going to get my beautiful baby clean without scratching or streaking, I just didn't know. But the reviews and forums were very convincing. I've used this method 3 times now, and it is incredible. My car looks freshly polished and perfect, no streaks, in less time than it was taking me to drive to the local hand wash place (20 minutes away), not to mention the time spent waiting and driving back, or the expense. Water beads, it is even somewhat more resistant to dirt and fingerprints than it was before. The result is so glowing and rich and slick, I can't believe it. I use so little water it is incredible. I can do it right in my garage without even moving the car out, with no mess to speak of. And the most unbelievable of all: I actually enjoy it, because the results are so satisfying. I've never enjoyed washing a car in my life. I use about a cap full to a gallon of water, so this bottle is going to last me a long time. It also smells great, like melon. After the wash I finish up with some Eagle One Perfect Vision and some Optimum Instant detailer spray, and a quick vacuum and the results are really something to be proud of. So glad I found this. This is the way I will always wash my car, even if the water restrictions here are ever lifted.

I've been using Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax (ONRWW) for several weeks, and it has completely changed the way I wash my vehicles. It's incredibly convenient, especially when I don't have access to a hose or want to save water. The product lifts dirt safely and leaves behind a slick, glossy finish that looks like I spent much more time detailing the car. What I like most is how versatile it is. I use it as a rinseless wash, a quick detailer, and even for cleaning light dust between full washes. It has excellent lubrication, which helps reduce the risk of scratching when used with quality microfiber towels. The added wax leaves a noticeable shine and makes the paint feel smooth after every wash. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while, making it a great value for the money. The pleasant scent is also a nice bonus compared to some harsher cleaning products. The only minor drawback is that heavily soiled vehicles still require extra care and more towels, but that's true for most rinseless wash products. Overall, Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax delivers outstanding cleaning power, impressive shine, and incredible convenience. If you're looking for a fast, effective, and water-saving way to keep your vehicle clean, I highly recommend giving it a try.

This is one of those really outstanding products. I live where the water is extremely hard (Over 20 grains), so I heard that this might fix the dreaded water spots. I heard mobile detailers use this because it helps with dealing with whatever water they get when they show up at your house. In my case, because it uses so little water, I bought two gallons of distilled water at about a buck each gallon. I put in about 1.5 capfulls in the water and agitated it with my hand and a microfiber cloth. I used several microfiber cloths during the process, and quickly noticed that even though I was doing this in my garage, the low humidity and heat dried it very quickly, before I could go back and dry it. When it dries before you wipe it off, you get a haze on it similar to the rain-x haze if you've used that product. I believe the haze is actually the wax, which in itslef is pretty amazing because typically the wash & wax solutions never really seem like they have any wax in them. I modified my process and would use a microfiber cloth to wash a panel, then immediately wipe it dry using another microfiber cloth. You kind of have to buff it dry because of the wax, but again, it's actually like buffing the wax when you wax your car, so I'm confident the wax is a good product. I washed a mini van, and a compact car, and still had enough water/solution to do two more cars. It's possible I wrung too much water out before wiping the car down, but that's a heck of a value for a little over a capful of solution. Both of the cars were extremely dirty. Sandy, road grime from about 1 year of not being washed (Trying to conserve water). I was a bit nervous applying just a wet microfiber cloth to a sandy grimy black vehicle, In the end, both cars looked great. I can see some very minor spider-webbing scratches in the clearcoat of the black vehicle, but I don't blame the product, I blame the owner of the vehicle that didn't wash his car for a year... I used to be a fan of Zaino products, but this is SO much easier, and is the only way to wash your car with hard water. Unless you have a water deionizer, nothing is going to be as good as this with distilled water...This saved me a lot of money because I was thinking about buying a water softener just to wash my cars.

Also ich kann nicht von Firmen wie AllClean gekauft werden. Mit diesem sauberen Gewissen schreibe ich, dass Leute...das ist etwas anders. Ich habe es echt nicht gefasst, aber mit einem (EINEM) Eimer Wasser habe ich das ganze Auto so sauber gemacht wie mit dem SB-Anlage, viel mehr Aufwand, Wasser und Shampoo. Natürlich eignet sich nicht für die Leute die täglich Off-Road sind, nur für die, die ihr Auto täglich nutzen. Ich empfehle so nutzen, dass ihr zwei Eimer dabei habt. Ein für die Mikrofasertücher mit dem Mittel und ein nur für die benutze Tücher. Ich brauche ca. 30 für das ganze Auto aber jemand wer nicht so detailiert arbeitet kann auch weniger nutzen. Am Ende verwende ich extra ein Sprühwax (zusätzlich 10-15 Tücher) damit es unvergleichbar mit einem SB-Wash oder einem billigen Handwash.

Me gusto que es poco lo que se utiliza y ahorra agua, use agua destilada y lave el coche en el sol puesto que no tengo manera de cubrir el garage, no deja rayas y queda muy bien, use la cera X-press wax de Meguiars y vaya que le ayuda, muy recomendables ambos, lo diluí como dice la botella, use un grit guard en la cubeta y con un mitt de lavado y una microfibra de secado y muy bien! también limpie el interior del coche con la misma microfibra, excelente producto!

Not bad, but the mixing ratio is too diluted. I had to mix 30ml with 500ml of water—almost 12 times stronger than the recommended ratio—before it could effectively remove grime and leave a mild wax film. You’d still want to apply a proper wax layer if you're after that silky feel and shine. It's a good base cleaner and affordable, so I’ll continue to use it.

Había escuchado mucho de los productos de esta marca y al verlos ofrecidos al precio correcto en Amazon decidí comprar esta presentación ya que mi jabón regular se estaba acabando. Es bueno y hace lavados de mantenimiento muy fáciles y rápidos, sobre todo si se tiene la pintura en buen estado y con la protección de alguna cera/spray. Ahora bien, insisto en usar la palabra "lavados de mantenimiento" es decir suciedad que veo en mi caso de uso regular, lo cual se limita a polvo/tierra en uso de ciudad, y al vivir en el desierto, la lluvia es muy ocasional. Las ocasiones que he salido a carretera y el coche termina lleno de insectos, o bien llueve y el auto termina con lodo, un jabón tradicional me funciona mejor, aún en la etiqueta de de este producto dice que autos más sucios "requerirán lavadas adicionales". Insisto, es sumamente conveniente haber usado alguna cera/protección y tener la pintura en buen estado (ya sea recubrimiento profesional o de los sprays de fácil aplicación). Usando eso y este producto se obtienen los mejores y más rápidos resultados. Concuerdo con otros que usar algun spray de detallado rápido en la etapa del secado lo hace más rápido y ayuda a resaltar el brillo.

I love this product. Have used it for a few years now. Lady's a long time. Easy to use, great results. I will buy again.
