https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GG9FK2M even at the same price I'd choose blue over green. Blue is currently $27.

That's entirely false. I've been using ONR for 15+ years. It's the only soap I use. Dust, dirt, salt, etc.

From what I can tell, blue is the classic ONR (optimum no-rinse) without the Carnuba wax additive. Green has carnuba wax included. People who use more 'advanced' waxes or protectants like Ceramic or Graphene coatings will likely prefer classic ONR.
If you don't already use those, the green is probably the better choice, like a 2-in-1 shampoo if you don't use already use fancy conditioner.

for anyone that hasn't used a no-rinse car product the idea is that you'll apply it and it will magically encapsulate the dirt, then you can wipe it away. works great if your car is already basically clean. any real layer of dust or dirt and you need more steps.

Yup, when used it the spray format. This can be added to a bucked and used with a mit, preferably with a sprayer of it at another dilution. The best use case for this in my opinion is if you want to do a contact wash in the winter if your garage is warm enough to not freeze, but you don't have a drain or a hose. ONR can be used in heavily diluted form as a spray wax or quick detailer, but the blue stuff is probably a little better for that. This is a good product, but you have to know what uses cases it's good for because it's not good for everyone

I think Pit has this confused with a waterless wash. There is almost zero difference between a rinseless and a classic bucket. Hell once you have a $10 sprayer, its almost zero.

As for the wipe down, well you want to scratch your car, spray off all your soap with a hose, and then wipe it down with a dry cloth.

Its cold up here, i can use ONR in a semi unheated garage with a warm bucket. My little hamster hands hurt trying to wash salt off in feb, and im not paying a 20 spot to go to the scratch-n-dash.

How many times can I wash a "60%" dirty full size sedan with this?
Because Costco has car wash for $8 if you use their gasoline.

Great price for an excellent and versatile product! I've tried McKee's 37, P&S Absolute, Armour Detail Hero, Koch Chemie RRW, and Wolfgang Uber SiO2, ONR is still my go-to for their performance and cost effectiveness.

You use 1oz of ONR with 2 gallons of water. I wash my Silverado with 2oz/4 gallons of water and usually have over a gallon left in the bucket when I'm done.

So probably ~64 washes.

I wash in the garage as well. It takes 30 seconds to squeegee out the water when finished. It's faster, uses less water, less effort overall, and smells amazing.

The green one has wax.

Not sure I'd go with the green since I'm a user of ceramic products.

Never heard of this stuff. So will this work on a car with lots of visible dirt on it? Or do you need to wash that off first? Do you use a brush with this or what?

Mix this like car wash, 1 oz per gallon. It won't sud, this stuff works like oil in and engine by "encapsulating"r the dirt. Pressure wash off as much dirt as possible, then start your soap phase. Rinse off if scared or if vehicle is pretty dirty. Green ONR is great as a monthly protectant wash! This is a great price, very close to certain distributor accounts for general pro detailers
