Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine

Hey guys & gals, just wanted to share with you a great product, especially for those that live in an apartment or in an area that has water restrictions.

Product
Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine

A new way to wash your safely wash your car without needing a hose or lots of water.

-No need for a hose.

http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-wax.html

What you need:
-2 gallons of water mixed with 1oz. of ONR for the wheels.
-2 gallons of water mixed with 1oz. of ONR for the rest of the exterior. (separate solution buckets)
-Wheel & tire brushes
-A few cheap dedicated wheel/tire towels (I just use cheapies from Auto Zone).
-1 cotton chenille wash mitt (or your favorite washing tool. I prefer the chenille).
-4 good size quality waffle weave microfiber towels (I like the California drying towels from AutoDetailingSolutions.com)

I forgot to take pics before I got started on the wheels and tires, but you get the idea. Trailer was also clean before pics were taken.

Here's a real test for ONR:

Please disregard the gash in the passenger rear door. That'll get attention in the spring.

Wondering if anyone on TN has tried this or any other rinseless wash. I'm curious, but the idea of a rinseless wash makes me cringe abit.
