Another optimum no rinse fan

Got my first bottle of Optimun No-Rinse, and I'm impressed. Just washed it today after a weekend of autocrossing. Does a great job with such little water.

Looking forward to using more of it, and washing in the garage in the winter.

Love how easy it is to clean the car in the garage regardless of the weather outside.

Do you guys use the blue "wash and shine" or green "wash and wax" product? Never heard of it but I'm going to give it a shot!

Blue.

I like to clay bar, so the green would be pointless for me since wax is mixed into it

I use the blue. Though if you are in a hurry, I'm sure the green works well.
