At 12:30 I went to the garage and used me some more optimum no rinse on my salted car while the wife and kids slept. I love this stuff. No longer is there an excuse for a dirty car. Seriously this stuff is fantastic.

Where did you purchase it from? A physical store or Amazon? How do you use it?

Its been a crazy mild winter. Put my RPF1s back on with some local buddies.

Little late, but the lady got me Tanabe front/rear STBs without me knowing, and an AVO silicon inlet.

All installed already.

Took it into a body shop for repair.. Now driving a Prius for 2 weeks. I feel as if I just went from the most exciting car you can grab for 28k to the least exciting car I can get for 28k. At least I'm helping the environment...

Amazon and AutoGeek are two options. ONR is more effective on a slightly dirty car, so it's not the best choice for removing salt during the winter. It's still a godsend for people without access to a hose or DIY car wash bay nearby.

I use a two-bucket method with grit-guards. Fill one bucket with water and ~2 oz. ONR and a fill a second bucket just past the height of the grit guard with water. Then use a wash mitt/microfiber to clean one panel of the car at a time. Once done with a panel, wring out the wash mitt into the second bucket that will hold the dirty water. Dry each panel as you go before starting on a new one. Repeat until done.

Depending on how anal you are about it, you could also fill the wash bucket with microfibers and use a different one for each panel.

Amazon. I use 1 bucket. I put 2 gallons of water and 1 ounce ONR in bucket. Then I soak 5 microfiber cloths. Then I use 1 cloth per section of car never putting a cloth back in the bucket. Works better than any other fancy soaps I've used. It takes me 1/3 of the time to wash my car and I save a ton of water. Plus I stay warm because I can do it in the garage.

I just turn the knob.

That's nice, but I decided I'd rather leave the stock to auto and not have the side markers constantly on. Plus it gives the added look of the lower LEDs on at night, which is really slick.

Edit: Flipping the knob also turns the HU to night mode, this way, I don't have to worry about that.

Paint and paint and paint! Taking every ounce to not rush and install.

A taste of spring at near 55 degrees today! After >10 for the past few weeks it is a blessing. That being said the mod bug bit early this year...

Ordered: Perrin 4" shorty antenna, a plate frame and an OEM Toyota 86 Armrest.
