Optimum ONR and BRS - Big Red Sponge Car Cleaning Kit, 32 oz. No Rinse Wash and Shine and Car Wash Sponge for Detailing Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, RV's and More

A friend of mine told me about this product and when he explained to me how it was rinseless, I thought he was daffy. Nope, turns out I'm just behind the times. I am new to the whole hand-washing routine, so I never kept on products.Anyway, it's like it says and it's pretty amazing. My garage setup is not really conducive to using a hose or a pressure washer, so I was looking for a solution that would allow me to work with buckets only and, well, this is it.As other reviews say, it's a very simple and effective product. Just dump however many capfuls you need into your water, mix it up, soak your sponge/rag/glove and go to work. It's best to work sections as you don't want the product to sit; I learned that the hard way. Basically, clean a section of the vehicle, then wipe it dry, get more soap on your cleaning implement, then move onto the next section, then dry it. Rinse and repeat. Hah. It may seem weird to not use any water to rinse, but I promise you it works.Product smells nice and leaves a great shine. I'm not sure how well it protects the paint, or if it even does, but the car looks super clean and that's all that's really expected in my opinion. Added bonus is that because of the no rinse nature, it definitely saves on water to use this in lieu of a more traditional soap. I can use a 2 gallon bucket and easily do my sedan with it. After every wash, the car looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. I doubt I'll get tired of that.My one negative is the sponge that comes in the "kit." It works fine, I guess, but I felt like it was very easily trapping particles in it that could potentially cause scratches. Thankfully, nothing actually happened, but seeing random debris caught in the fabric made me nervous. I still have the sponge, but I've since started using a glove from another company and I feel it works much better.

Can't say enough for it. Dump a capful in 2.5 gallons of water and mix. Hose off your car of large scratchy particles and bugs. Use a soft sponge (I use the company who makes this.. red one) and soak it in the mix. Lightly squeeze sponge but leave a lot of mix in it. Softly wipe car surfaces down with the wet sponge letting the mix proceed the sponge if possible (i.e wipe downward if possible).... this allows mix to encapsulate dirt particles and keep them in solution away from the paint. Rinse sponge in mix bucket often to remove accumulated dirt. Work from top to bottom of car, one area at a time. No Rising!!!For each washed area use a good, soft microfiber towel to dry it off. Don't let the washed area dry on its own before you use drying towels. If it dries on its own, reapply mix then immediately dry with towels. Your car will look great and the time to wash it goes way down.

Good product for in between maintenance washes. I like the fact that you can work with this product with very little water and without having to pull out pressure washer. If used properly, product leaves a decent clean shine.

My husband loves this stuff. It works as advertised. It keeps his car so clean and shiny, with just one bucket of water.

The Optimum ONR and BRS Car Cleaning Kit has been a game-changer in my car detailing routine, providing an efficient and eco-friendly solution for maintaining the shine and cleanliness of my vehicle. This kit, which includes the Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine (ONR) and the Big Red Sponge (BRS), has become an essential part of my car care arsenal, earning it a solid four-star rating.The standout feature of this kit is the Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine (ONR). This product offers a waterless and rinseless washing solution, allowing me to clean my car without the need for excessive water usage. This is particularly beneficial during water-restricted periods or when I want to conserve water while still achieving a thorough clean. The ONR formula effectively lifts dirt and grime from the surface, leaving a streak-free shine without any water spots.The Big Red Sponge (BRS) complements the ONR perfectly, providing a high-quality and durable sponge for effective and gentle cleaning. The sponge's unique design traps dirt and debris, preventing any scratches or swirl marks on the car's paintwork. Its ample size allows for efficient cleaning, reducing the time and effort required to achieve a spotless finish.I appreciate the eco-friendliness of this kit, as it aligns with my commitment to reducing my environmental impact. The waterless and rinseless cleaning approach significantly minimizes water wastage, making it an eco-conscious choice for car detailing.The convenient 32 oz. bottle size of the ONR ensures that I have plenty of product to last through several car washes, and the sponge's long-lasting nature provides value for money, considering its effectiveness and durability.While the kit offers excellent cleaning performance and convenience, I have noticed that it may not be suitable for heavily soiled vehicles or as a substitute for a traditional, thorough car wash. In such cases, a standard car wash might be required to achieve a deeper clean.Another minor concern is that the sponge's red color tends to show dirt more visibly than darker-colored sponges. However, regular rinsing during use helps maintain its cleaning efficiency.In conclusion, the Optimum ONR and BRS Car Cleaning Kit is a practical and eco-friendly solution for car enthusiasts and detailing enthusiasts alike. The ONR's waterless and rinseless formula, combined with the Big Red Sponge's efficient and gentle cleaning, provide a reliable and convenient way to keep vehicles looking their best.While it may not be a substitute for a comprehensive car wash in all situations, the kit is a valuable addition to my car detailing routine, helping me achieve a well-maintained and glossy finish with ease.

Stuff is amazing. I am now a believer. Adds a shine and is effortless. Good water shedding/beading. Easy to use. No streaking. I recommend using two towels to dry. One to dry and another to lightly buff as you dry. I keep one towel in each hand. Very little buffing required if you even want to call it that. Works great on granite countertops too. Shines like crazy and beads up water on the counter.
