Question 1

do you know what the difference is from this and the optimum wash and "shine" product? This is a little more $$

Accepted Answer

No Rinse Wash & Wax works best if you do not want to add a wax or sealant afterwards since it gives you both in one step while No Rinse Wash & Shine works best if you want to use a stand alone sealant or wax on top. Therefore with No Rinse Wash & Wax you do not need to purchase another stand alone wax or sealant and saves time by combining these into one step.

Question 2

I have a black car, do I need to worry about getting scratches and micro swirls when using this?

Accepted Answer

If you are very worried about swirls, you can pre-treat each panel with Optimum Power Clean spray before you use ONR. The guy from Optimum does that in a video where they clean an absolutely filthy car that has dried dirt all over it. Look for it in The Rag Company channel on youtube.

Question 3

Are you supposed to use microfiber towels to wash with or a wash mitt with this stuff?

Accepted Answer

Do Not use anything other than high quality microfiber towels with a minimum of 500 gsm. The Rag co. has some I highly recommend. Since chemical guys don’t specify the gsm of their towels just pass on them or any company that doesn’t give the gsm of their towels. Take your time.

Question 4

Is it advisable to wash each panel twice with this or is once enough?

Accepted Answer

Once is enough, although I overlap a lot -- i.e. when washing a door panel, I get a little of the other door on a 4 door car. If your car has caked on dirt, I'd strongly recommend you rinse it off thoroughly first. If you're using this because you don't have a hose or wash setup (or a driveway to do it in), you can go to the car wash, put in a dollar (around here anyway), and wash the excess dirt off. Then come home and use this product. Whatever water spots formed should come out if your paint is in decent shape.
