I take my cars to a coin-op car wash where I use the equipment and chemicals there.
Leading evidence: 'Use equipment and chemicals there' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suggestion · Original poster
Does these products work as advertised and has anyone that has used it get good results (clean with no streaking or swirl marks, etc.)?

Basically you use a California Car Duster to wipe down the car; then use a quick detail mist to get any dirt spots or poo; then follow w/ a NanoWax.

I originally bought the stuff so I could use it to give my car a "sponge bath" during the cold winter months, but I'm using it more and more throughout the year...I think the car looks glossier using ONR vs a regular car shampoo ritual.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Today is the first day of Drought Level 2 here and the practical application of the restrictions for me is car washing. At Level 2, you can still wash your car at home, but you have to bucket wash and the hose needs to be turned off when not in use. I already do that (watching people that waste water because they don't shut off the water when they aren't rinsing has always irked me). So, at this point, no affect. If the Drought Level increases to 3, you're not allowed to wash your car at home at all - you have to go to a commercial facility... which I am very reluctant to do. Has anyone tried the waterless car wash products (the one I've seen is Optimum No Rinse & Wash & Shine)? Does these products work as advertised and has anyone that has used it get good results (clean with no streaking or swirl marks, etc.)? Not panicking yet - but looking for an alternative if necessary.
Thanks,
Rudy
Why not look around for a self-serve wash place where you get access to hoses? Bring a bucket, some soap and your own sponge (never know if the soap/sponge dispensers they have will have any grit in them) and get to washing.
We have had your drought level 3 equivalent here in North Texas the past few years. I take my cars to a coin-op car wash where I use the equipment and chemicals there. It really saves me a ton of time.
If you don't want to use the equipment and chemicals at the coin-op carwash, then bring your bucket, soap, sponge mitts, and
alot
of change because you'll be just renting the high pressure water hose at that point.

Rudy,
During the summer I never use water on my car.
Basically you use a California Car Duster to wipe down the car; then use a quick detail mist to get any dirt spots or poo; then follow w/ a NanoWax.
If you want specifics/product names then PM me.

I just picked up some Optimum No Rinse last month. I've used it twice so far and I've been very impressed with it. It does take me a little longer than standard washing but that's probably because I'm being extra cautious with it until I feel more comfortable. A single 2 gallon bucket, a grit gaurd, a sponge, and some microfibers and you're all set to go. I live in an apartment building with a multilevel garage so this is really made my life easier...
+1 on Optimum No Rinse. I originally bought the stuff so I could use it to give my car a "sponge bath" during the cold winter months, but I'm using it more and more throughout the year...I think the car looks glossier using ONR vs a regular car shampoo ritual.
We do have nozzles, but stopping the water from running is only as good as the washer at the end of the hose - and I don't keep a dedicated car wash hose. Point being, if you get caught having sheets of water coming of your driveway because the nozzle shut off only stopped the water at the nozzle end and not the spigot, you can get a ticket... Plus, the city passed out these little "water-ticket" things in the newspaper, so you too (or the neighbor you don't get along with) can report someone for violating the new rules... (silly, I know...)
Anyway, looks like a lot of thumbs up on the Optimum stuff - at $16/32 oz bottle, it's worth a shot.
Thanks!
Rudy
