Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax – Rinseless Car Wash Formulated with Carnauba Wax with UV Protection - For Cars, RVs, Trucks, Motorcycles and more (1 Gallon)

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.

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!

This stuff is amazing! Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax makes cleaning my car quick, easy, and enjoyable. I just mix a few ounces in a bucket or spray bottle, wipe it on, and dry — no hose needed. It lifts dirt safely and leaves behind a glossy shine thanks to the carnauba wax. The finish feels smooth and it even helps repel dust and water afterward. I love that it has UV protection too, so I know my paint’s getting an protection. It’s perfect for quick maintenance washes or for those days when I don’t want to drag out all the gear. A little goes a long way, and it smells great too! I’ve used other rinseless washes, but this one is hands-down my favorite. Easy to use, amazing results, and well worth the money. Highly recommend it!

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.

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.

Just tried this. Followed instructions. So impressed how clean and shiny my car looked after. TBH - looks better than a car wash. GREAT PRODUCT.

Having just up-sized vehicles to a Ford Edge, I also managed to up-size my payments right into my monthly car detailing budget. Translation: I have to do it myself. Being in the city, I lack both outdoor access to a water spigot and the few car wash facilities around here are NOT ideal solutions. The fact that I broke my cycle of white vehicles and opted for Tuxedo Black this go-around means I have a new battle to wage to keep on shining. I probably spend more time than is reasonable in trying to find the best way to clean/detail my new car, and decided to splurge on the Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax after more videos and reviews than I can recount. I am still twitching from the lack of suds and perpetual rainbows shooting out of the gallons of water launched from a garden hose, but Here is what I did: 1) Purchased Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax, a package of 15 microfiber cloths, one of those nifty manual-pump 2 liter misters, a bucket, clay bar, tire gel, wax, 8 gallons of distilled water, and a really big and fluffy drying towel that was supposed to be lint-free. 2) I put half a gallon of distilled water in the pump mister with an ounce of the ONRWW, and dumped the remaining half gallon of distilled water in the bucket with another ounce of the ONRWW. Folding 6 microfiber cloths in quarters, I placed them in the bucket to soak up the solution. 3) Starting from the top of the car, I misted it with the sprayer as a presoak, climbed up on my step stool, and used my first quarter-side of a cloth to make a clean sweep across the top. I checked the cloth for dirtiness on each pass, and would switch to a new quarter-side if needed. I designated 1 cloth for each of the top, driver, passenger, front, and back sides, plus tires/wheels (6 total). I never reintroduced the dirty towels into the cleaning solution, I threw them into a bag for laundering instead. 4) Upon cleaning a "side", I dried with the big fluffy (which did leave lint and required additional passes to send the lint on its way). 5) After cleaning the entire car, I went back and "pet" the car to assess areas that needed some clay bar TLC...there were a few areas on the front end and hood that had some bug residue. Using the mister, I lubed the areas in question and clay barred them and re-dried as needed. 6) Using the mister (love this approach), I soaked the tires/wheels and used another microfiber cloth to clean the wheels. Followed this with tire gel. 7) The paint/shine looked so amazing that I opted to skip the waxing this time to so I could see how well the ONRWW holds up over the next week on its own. The washing part took only 30 minutes, but I did spend another 2 hours on clay barring, interior detailing, dressing my tires and packing up my supplies to lug back upstairs. I had over half a gallon of water/solution left at the end, suggesting I could clean the entire SUV with half a gallon of water total! That is completely amazing! The ONRWW not only did a great job cleaning the paint, acting as a clay bar lube, cleaning tire dirt/brake dust, enhancing the shine, but it also cleaned the windows quite nicely. All this in half a gallon of water. I will still take my car to a touch-free car wash once in a while to get the undercarriage cleaned, but I won't be going back to soap again! I think the ONRWW used in conjunction with a mister of pre-soak not only reduced the amount of water needed, it also reduced the amount of "elbow grease" needed to clean the car. I guess my 7 remaining gallons of distilled water are going to be with me for a while!

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.

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.

Kudos!
