Optimum No Rinse ONR Version 5 Wash & Shine is a car wash detergent that is also great for motorcycles, private planes, or boats. Optimum No Rinse is specifically designed for washing vehicles without the need to rinse off the paint afterwards. The polymer formula of Optimum No Rinse - known as ONR - forms a protective layer over the car paint and encapsulates dirt particles. This allows for easy, scratch-free removal of light dirt without rinsing the vehicle. How to: Perform a Rinse-less Car Wash with Optimum No Rinse Optimum No Rinse was developed in California, where legal regulations limit maximum water usage per car wash. To wash their car, one had to do it rinseless – without rinsing off the shampoo water. In the "rinseless wash," multiple microfiber towels soaked in Optimum No Rinse wash solution are used to clean the car and dry it afterwards. To pre-soak the dirt, an Optimum No Rinse solution can be sprayed beforehand. There are many methods for rinseless washing. We recommend using Optimum No Rinse with two buckets, plenty of wash mitts, and drying towels. Differences Between Waterless and Rinseless Car Wash Optimum No Rinse can also be used as a concentrate for "waterless washing." This waterless washing method does away with wash buckets entirely. Dirt is tackled only with towels and a spray cleaner. Ultimately, you should decide for yourself when to perform a full car wash, a rinseless wash, or a waterless wash. For heavier dirt, a thorough wash with foam pre-wash, removal of bonded contaminants like tar and brake dust, and hand washing is always recommended. Light dirt can be removed waterlessly, while medium dirt can be tackled rinseless. The Major Advantage of Optimum No Rinse Car Wash Concentrate With every application, the vehicle receives a rich shine and is easier to clean with repeated use due to the built-up polymer protection layer. The paint feels significantly smoother! Versatile Applications of Optimum No Rinse from the Online Shop Chemical-Shark.de ONR can be used in many ways. Besides washing applications, it serves as a perfect lubricant for clay bars, a cleaning spray or detailer for quick clean-ups, or for exterior cleaning of windows. It's no wonder that Optimum No Rinse is popular among hobby car detailers and professional detailers alike. Optimum No Rinse is free from harmful alcohols and protects softeners in materials like Plexiglas and Makrolon, as well as other polycarbonate materials. It's no surprise that Optimum No Rinse is used for boats and airplanes as well. Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine or Wash & Wax For those looking to order Optimum No Rinse, you can choose between the wash & shine and wash & wax versions. Optimum No Rinse wash & wax is enhanced with Carnauba wax, providing a higher level of shine and some water repellency. If the paint is protected with a high-quality paste wax like Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax or Zymöl Carbon or Dodo Juice, we recommend the slightly more expensive wash & wax version. Polymer-based cleaning agent for waterless washing without rinsing Diverse usage possibilities as a detailer, lubricant for clay bars, or for cleaning windows and plastic glass Provides high paint smoothness, rich shine Available in pure polymer wash & shine and Carnauba-enriched wash & wax variants Available at Chemical-Shark.de in various sizes of 236ml, 946ml, and 3780ml gallons Tip: To optimize the cleaning performance of ONR, we recommend using it with soft water. This minimizes the risk of water spots.

Optimum No Rinse (ONR) Version 6 Wash & Shine is the latest generation of the proven car wash concentrate for cleaning without a hose – ideal for garage washing, washing without water, and rinse-free car washing. The revamped polymer formula encapsulates dirt particles even more effectively and protects sensitive paint surfaces from micro-scratches. Perfect for cars, motorcycles, boats, or airplanes. Rinseless Car Wash: How ONR V6 Works Originally developed for regions with water restrictions like California, ONR allows a complete vehicle wash with minimal water use – no rinsing required. The principle: Multiple microfiber towels or wash mitts are soaked in an ONR solution, and the vehicle is cleaned section by section. Then it is dried – also without a hose. For better cleaning on tougher dirt, ONR can also be used as a pre-spray. Waterless vs. Rinseless Car Wash – The Difference In rinseless washing like with ONR, water is used – but without rinsing. The application is done with one or two wash buckets and several towels or wash mitts. Waterless washing, on the other hand, only uses spray cleaners and towels – entirely without buckets. ONR is primarily suitable for rinseless methods. For heavy dirt, a classic hand wash with pre-cleaning, foam, and high pressure is still recommended. For moderate dirt, ONR V6 is ideal, and light contamination can be removed waterless. Benefits of Optimum No Rinse Version 6 The new formula offers noticeably better glide properties, even more shine, and a smoother drying feel. ONR V6 leaves a clean, smooth surface and ensures that dirt is increasingly easier to remove with repeated use. Especially recommended for enthusiasts with sealed or ceramic-coated vehicles. Versatile Applications: Not Just for Paint ONR V6 is a real all-rounder: It works not only as a shampoo for rinse-free vehicle washing but also as a lubricant for clay bars, interior cleaner, or glass cleaner – suitable even for Plexiglass or Makrolon. The formula is alcohol-free and protects sensitive materials, such as those used in aviation or boating. Differences Between ONR Version 5 and Version 6 Compared to the previous version, ONR V6 has been developed in several aspects. The glide ability ('Lubricity') is significantly improved – the microfiber cloth glides noticeably easier over the paint. Users report a more intense shine and smoother finish when drying. The new polymer formula optimizes dirt binding and ensures that the vehicle is cleaned more effectively with less water usage. For fans of rinseless washing, Version 6 is a clear upgrade to ONR V5. Rinse-free washing: Ideal for garages, winter use, or areas with water restrictions Washing without water: Reduces water consumption to a minimum Suitable for paint, glass, plastic, Plexiglass, Makrolon, and more High glide properties – minimizes scratch risk during washing Visibly more shine and smoothness with every application Available in various sizes: 236 ml, 946 ml, 3.78 l Tip: For best results, we recommend using soft water to avoid limescale stains and maximize polymer performance.
