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.
