Thank you everybody for all your input. Yeah...I'm in Cali so it makes it a lot easier for me than most of you. I can't imagine being in NY or Canada and trying to wash my car. Salt? Snow? Man...I'd have troubel even bringing my baby out.

As for automatic washes, I can't fit into most because of my H&R springs. The few that I would fit into are the cheap spinning brushes...I think they have a chain across the country that they all belong to called "Swirl Makers".

Thank you everybody for all of your input. I have always seen those no rinse washes, but just never trusted them because...well...you don't rinse it! I'm ordering ONR right now though. Thanks again!

Oh yeah! Here are some videos of Anthony Orosco (sp?) using ONR. I think he's associated with Optimum in some way.

They use salt in New Brunswick? Makes we wonder if MB has started, probably not, we are bigger fans of sand which only gets your interior dirty...
