Waterless Car Wash Spray - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've been checking this stuff out, reviews seem to be pretty positive from what I've read. I know this stuff is only meant for small amount dirt, but I wanted to see if any of you have used or do use this to keep your car clean on a daily basis.

My apartment complex let their carwash pipes freeze over the winter and STILL haven't fixed them. So I came up with a method of using these sprays. What I did was I took the car through a touchless carwash first to get all of the heavy dirt off. Then I used the spray to give the car a hand-wash clean. I then followed it up with a wax.

Yup. Don't be stingy and spray a lot. Use microfiber towels and change to a clean facing often.

I use ONR car wash. it's great

Mr. Sparkle · 06-03-2013, 08:13 PM

recommend a 'rinseless' wash over a 'waterless' ( I like ONR as mentioned above)

BUT for real light stuff a waterless is nice to have around. I've used the DP waterless wash and the Blackfire Waterless with decent results.

Using in a spray bottle kinda sucks though. if you're gonna do it routinely, buy a concentrated version of a waterless and mix up a whole bunch in a garden sprayer. Cover a lot of ground quickly that way.

Do one panel at a time, carefully, and use a lot of plush microfiber towels.

you can also check out the garry dean method of rinseless washing (youtube). That may serve your needs here also

ONR's great. I use it whenever the car isn't very dirty. I use a single bucket of water for both my car and the wife's.

use 2 buckets! One for ONR and the other plain water. So you can rinse out the wash mitt in between panels.

Ok, I meant one bucket of clean water. I do the two bucket method, sorry for not being clear!

Another ONR/Rinseless fan here. With two bucket method I can finish my car wash in about 15 minutes with my gf (no wax required because opticoat). Using mitt I clean the car off while she dries as I go making it pretty seemless. By myself it wouldn't take too much longer though.

This stuff used with their rinceless wash has worked beyond expectations on my CBS BRZ.
