Best Rinseless Wash Showdown – DIY Detail vs ONR vs Super Soaper
Which rinseless wash performs best in real-world conditions? We put DIY Detail, ONR, and The Super Soaper to the test.
Why Rinseless Washes Are Gaining Popularity
Whether you're an apartment dweller, dealing with water restrictions, or just want a safer wash method during hot months, rinseless washing is exploding in popularity. But with so many options now—like DIY Detail Rinseless Wash V2, Optimum No Rinse (ONR), and The Super Soaper—which one actually delivers the best clean, safest touch, and best value?
The Contenders
- DIY Detail Rinseless Wash V2: Known for its newer formula and “coating-safe” design.
- Optimum No Rinse (ONR): The original rinseless wash product that built the category.
- The Super Soaper: Designed for both foam and rinseless use, loaded with lubricants and surfactants.
Head-to-Head Comparison
| Feature | DIY Detail | ONR | The Super Soaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleaning Power | Good | Moderate | Excellent |
| Slickness | Very Good | Good | Exceptional |
| Dilution Ratio | 256:1 | 256:1 | 128:1 (Rinseless) |
| Cost per Wash | Moderate | Low | Low |
| Added Protection | Minimal | None | Yes – Boosts Sealants |
Real-World Test Results
We washed a black car, a coated car, and a dry dusty panel using all three products. The Super Soaper consistently performed better in:
- Lubricity and slickness during wipe-down
- Safely removing dirt without marring
- Leaving behind a cleaner, glossier surface
Final Verdict
DIY Detail Rinseless Wash V2 is solid. ONR is reliable but a bit outdated. But The Super Soaper offers better performance, modern surfactants, and dual use as a rinseless and foam wash.

FAQ
What is a rinseless wash?
A rinseless wash is a method of washing your car using a highly lubricated solution that lifts dirt safely without needing a final rinse with water.

Yes, but it lacks additional protection. The Super Soaper is also coating-safe and adds a sealant boost.
Can I use The Super Soaper for both foam and rinseless washing?
Yes! The Super Soaper was designed for both applications and performs exceptionally well in both formats.
