Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike traditional soap-based shampoos that require massive rinsing, Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine uses advanced polymers to encapsulate dirt, lifting it away from the paint safely. When compared to waterless wash sprays, this rinseless system provides superior lubrication, significantly reducing the risk of micro-marring or scratching on delicate clear coats. It serves as a more versatile alternative to standard car soaps by doubling as a clay lubricant or quick detailer when diluted properly.

How to use it

1. Add one ounce of Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine to two gallons of water in a bucket.
2. Soak a clean microfiber towel or wash mitt in the solution.
3. Wash one panel of the vehicle at a time using gentle, straight-line motions.
4. Dry the panel immediately with a clean, high-GSM microfiber drying towel.
5. No rinsing is required; simply move to the next panel until the car is clean.
