It gets a bit cold here in the winter and coin washes are a ripoff and don't get my car as clean as I would like. Plus there's no way I'm letting the foaming brush touch my car.

So I though would give Optimum No-Rinse Wash & Shine a try.

Needed:
2 buckets
4 microfiber towels (MF)
Optimum QEW


As always, 2 buckets - one with the proper mix of and the other with clean water.


Section before:


I followed the directions using 1 MF folded into quarters, soaked in QEW water and wiped down one section. I immediately used a dry MF and dried the section:


I flipped the soaked MF over to a clean side and repeated above steps for the next section:


I made sure to thoroughly rinse the soaked MF in the clean water before starting the process again in another section.


Review:
Being well aware of the condition of my paint, I carefully checked the section I sections as I went along. I could see any marring (scratching) caused by this process. The surface was extremely clean, shiney and surprisingly very slick. This one's a keeper in my inventory.

The car looks great Pete, as usual but I actually hit the quarter carwash today, it was VERY nice! My car wasn't really that dirty, just a little dusty and all thats needed there is a wipe with my Griots duster, but as with all cars with German brakes/pads, the rims looked like they were starting to get a bit dirty, so I said what the hell and washed the entire car! I can't wait till its warm enough for hand washing, its the best way to go, obviously and the Mr.Clean auto-dry is my weapon of choice!
