I just wanted to let you guys in on an awesome product.

It's called ONR, or Optimum No Rinse. It's a product that you add to a 2-gallon bucket of water for washing the car, and does not require a hose to rinse off the car. You can dump your sponge or wash mitt into this bucket of water with ONR solution and start washing the car dry. I kid you not, it does not scratch the paint whatsoever.

My friend has been using it since he leased his 335i in '07. He just returned it, and there aren't any scratches caused by washing the car. It was Montego Blue, so you would have seen it if there were fine scratches.

There's something in the formula that loosens dirt on contact, and the more you use it the easier it becomes, sort of like something used to prolong the life of the wax on your car. To make sure you do the job right, dry the car with microfiber cloths/towels and you'll be golden.

With this stuff, you can wash your car anywhere. I love it because getting to my hose is a pain in the butt and is a very messy business. You can even use this in the comfort of your heated garage.



I highly recommend this product!
