Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Optimum No Rinse was for specific applicaton under water restrictions. Very careful instriuctions for use.

    I have never used and won't use these type of products.

    Oh and I am pedantic about detailing, very.

      my car is parked on street in the inner city - opt no rinse is perfect for my application - lifts dirt, no marring, unreal lubricity, no suss looks from neighbours because i've got soap crap washing down the gutter. as for the very careful instructions, yes - a bucket, some water, and a microfibre cloth, wiped down with two drying towels.

      just out of curiosity, why wont you ever use these types of products? is it because they offer excellent lubricity without sudsing, and whilst also being biodegradable?

      i presume you do have a bottle of opt no rinse (NOT a waterless wash) that you've abandoned since you seem quite adamant that it's an inferior product?

        I prefer my current method, that's all

        Glad you are happy with your process.

        I have been heavily into detailing for 5-6 years sourcing product locally, from Germany, the USA and the UK

        ONR and other waterless/low water products amongst them.

        I use what works for me to my level of detail.

        Cheers

            With water restrictions, a good option is to get a high pressure system.

            Buy a second otto/garbage bin and attach a water tap to it. Allow to fill in rain (not hard these days) and use the water without being in trouble! Free water, just electricity and easy way to clean without any hassle.
