Optimum No rinse. I just washed 3 cars last weekend with 100 degree weather from my garage with 2 buckets of water. No sweat

+1 on ONR Ive been using it since the 2nd time I washed my G, cuts time in half.

Beshoff does a pretty good job of washing too, tho I usually do have to use a microfiber towel to get some spots after they wash it, like by the trunk area and some spots since I am really **** about it lol. I was actually wiping down my car and talking to Dru at the same time last time i brought in my car.

Once you go ONR its hard to wash your car the old way.

I've never tried this place, but its a Beacon Gas Station on Capital and Snell. Looks liek they do hand washes and always have long lines during the summer... I just never brought my car there, not even my DD...

We wash the cars indoors. the water is treated thru the filter system in another bay (no contaminants), to make sure there's no water marks after the drying process. Every car gets fresh new soft towels.

I'll notify the guys to pop the trunk to wipe it down after the drying process. Sometimes there's water traped under the lip of the trunk. I'll ask the guys to pop the trunk when they dry and get that out.

+1000 for ONR. Having a carport with no hose used to prevent me from washing the car.. Since I got ONR, I can wash it in the shade of the carport and it comes out perfect everytime. Very little water is used and it dries very nice with only 1 good size waffle weave micro fiber...
