Default NO RINSE is a lifesaver!!!

Well i've been using no rinse all winter to save me from dragging out a freezing water hose and allowing me to do it in the garage on really cold days. Well i just finised washing all the road grime off my car from the ice we had this past week. No rinse came thruogh as always leaving the car sparkly clean in about 30min. Its around 30 degrees and sunny here today and the stuff didnt freeze or give me any problems. Thanks again Justin for offering this great product! For all of you who have never used it you are really missing out.

Awesome! I love No Rinse as well. That is about all that I use. I just wish more people would try it out. All it takes is to try it out, and then you don't want to go back to conventional washing.

grit guard? umm thats new to me. Basically you run a bucket of water like you normally would but use the no rinse solution instead of your normal car wash soap. You need two microfiber towels. I actually use a microfiber wash mit and a big microfiber drying towel. Do one section at a time. Using the wash mit wash the section, ie fender, as normal. Immediately after washing use your microfiber drying towel to try the section. Bam, one section done. Continue process. Some people like to use two buckets. One bucket with the no rinse solution and one bucket of just water to wash off your wash mit before putting it back into the no rinse bucket. I usually just use one bucket. Its my understanding that no rinse is actually better for the paint than your traditional washing. It has polymers that protect the paint.

Make sure to check out the **** Rags, they are really popular on the detailing forum that I sponsor. You can go wrong with any of my high end towels, ex....Gladiator, Ultra Premium,**** Rag, and Super Fly. The Super Fly is on sale right now for pretty cheap!

A grit guard is a plastic grating that you put at the bottom of you wash bucket. It helps keep the dirt and grime at the bottom of the bucket so that you don't get on the wash mitt and spread it back on the car. The cost around $10. Check out the link:

I love ONR as well after Justin got me to try it. I use it to wash my car and as a quick detailer.
