Now how was I supposed to know that you used ONRWW when you only made reference to using ONR, but mentioned that another product you had tried (Croftgate?) contained a wax. No need to get sarcastic about it when I was obviously trying to help .

When I wash a car with ONR its just as clean as a car washed with a hose...foam cannon...whatever. The only drawback is not being able to flush out the undercarriage, but that doesn't need to be done every time. Your issue is a mental hangup...nothing more.
Try ONR a few times and you will see...to use your language. Don't discount something if you haven't used it.

Yes, you have options. I used ONR before. Great product. One day I ran out and saw a post from Syd... I went to Wal Mart to grab a bottle of Turtle No Rinse WW. IMO, this product gives me more shine than ONR. I didn't have the ONRWW so I always had to top it off with wax spray to get the shine I want. With the Turtle product, I don't feel needed anymore. Sometimes when I really want to get more shine, I top it off with spray wax but not all the time. For me the biggest saving from this method is the amount of time needed to dry the vehicle when compared to traditional wash. It's also really convenient when it's cold outside. I was very skeptical about this but gave it a try. I love it. I still do traditional wash but only when the car is really dirty. Here is a picture after Turtle No Rinse WW with Quik Wax Spray.

I don't have to "try it a few times", I've been detailing cars for 20 years, some of those years professionally. I've used it all, all manner of soaps, wash media, towels, foam cannons, spray on waterless wash systems, and mix in a bucket systems like this ONR or Protect-All's Quick and Easy Wash. I have washed hundreds and hundreds of cars in dozens of different ways.

Yep, my Obsidian came with a slightly marred right front fender. Otherwise the paint is perfect. I'm not to concerned because the car is a short term lease and I definitely will be returning it when the lease is over. Big time remorse for leasing a 250 instead of the 350.

The professional detailer that I have maintain my car helped meguiar's develop this product. I have been using it since July and find it's a really good easy to use product. My detailer taught me how to apply it and take it off with microfiber cloths. and there is a video on meguiar's website telling you how to do it
If you follow some of my posts I recently this past Tuesday had my car polished by my detailer and he was extremely happy to see how well I am maintaining my car and I have no swirls in it from my wash method. My detailer is Superior Shine and you can check out his Facebook page to see the types of cars that this guy does
Highly recommend the meguiar's product as it's a rinseless wash and wax all-in-one and it's easy to apply and easy to remove

Voice your opinions all you want, theres a difference between saying that you prefer to do things a certain way and saying that a product or technique doesn't work. ONR works. Period. If you don't prefer washing that way, then say that...but don't say it doesn't work. According to your post you haven't even used the product we're discussing, you've used a Griots product. Griots doesn't offer a product that is at all comparable to ONR, they have a Spray on car wash which I also have and have used and is not at all comparable...in order to "give the OP your experience" you need to have experience with the product to give...
