Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine Version 6 Rinseless Car Wash

The Original Rinseless Car Wash

NEW Version 6
The slickest and glossiest ONR yet.

Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine, better known as ONR, is the original automotive rinseless car wash. Developed by Optimum Polymer Technologies CEO and chemist Dr. David Ghodoussi, ONR changed the way vehicles are washed and detailed by making the process faster, easier, safer, and far more water-efficient.

Now in Version 6, ONR has been refined once again for improved slickness, enhanced gloss, and an even better washing and drying experience.

Wash your vehicle anywhere with less than 2 gallons of water — no hose, no pressure washer, and no rinsing required.

What Is ONR?

Optimum No Rinse™ Wash & Shine Version 6 is a polymer-based rinseless car wash designed to clean vehicle surfaces without traditional rinsing.

Simply add ONR to a bucket of water, wash one section at a time with the Optimum Big Red Sponge, a wash mitt, or microfiber towel, then dry with a clean microfiber towel.

ONR can be used on exterior and interior surfaces, including paint, ceramic coatings, PPF, matte finishes, glass, plastic, vinyl, leather, carpet, fabric, window tint, infotainment screens, and more.

Why ONR Is Different

Most traditional car washes rely heavily on soaps or surfactants. These products create foam and suspend dirt in the wash water, but they often require rinsing and may leave residue behind.

ONR works differently.

ONR uses substantive polymer technology to help release dirt from the surface, encapsulate contamination, and provide lubrication so it can be safely wiped away. The formula is designed to leave the surface clean, slick, and glossy without the need for rinsing.

Unlike soap-based washes, ONR does not leave behind residue that can build up over time. It leaves a thin layer of polymer protection that does not interfere with ceramic coatings, waxes, sealants, or PPF.

What Makes Version 6 Better?

ONR has been continually refined for over 20 years. Version 6 takes the washing experience to the next level with improved slickness and gloss.

The biggest difference is the feel. Version 6 offers noticeably improved lubrication while washing and a smoother, slicker feel under the drying towel. The result is a cleaner, glossier finish with an even more enjoyable user experience.
