Thanks for including DIY Detail Rinseless Wash in your experiment. All 3 are good products and clean well, but the technologies are very different. What’s shown here is more attachment than encapsulation. A pure polymer rinseless attaches itself to the dirt, making it heavier than the water and sinking it down. With a surfactant based product, the dirt is emulsified, with any larger particles sinking to the bottom. With the DIY Detail Rinseless Wash we use both polymers and surfactants to accomplish our goal of cleaning the surface of the vehicle in the safest way possible. When polymers and surfactants are mixed, the surfactants win. To make this an accurate test( as opposed to a cool looking demonstration) first they should be diluted per instructions ( 256/1). Next is evaluating not how the water looks, but how clean the wash media is when leaving the wash bucket. In our R&D ( it was a 3 year process) how we evaluated our Rinseless was on how it cleaned the surface, not on how it separated in the bucket ( add oil to your glasses and it will also cause a similar effect). If you can find a sufficiently dirty white work truck, pre-spray the products on the surface, and evaluate how they lift the dirt off the surface. Next go over the same sized area with identical wash media. Return the wash media to the wash bucket. Remove the wash media from the bucket and observe how clean it is. Our goal was to have the cleanest surface, and also have the wash media returning to that surface be as clean as possible. With that said, they all work, but differently.

Thank you for chiming in on this! It’s great to hear first hand from the company who created their product, explain the chemistry behind it. This helps the end user to better understand and clear some questions we all may have based on this test! Based on what I am hearing, is it safe to say that your Rinseless technology is more advanced as an emulsifier but does not have advanced encapsulation technology like ONR because of the surfactants? Undeniably, all 3 products clean amazing and are very effective. I want to clarify for all viewers that this test is not about comparing cleaning power. It’s purely based on visually comparing encapsulation.

[@jeepguylv80]

I ordered a gallon of DIY Rinseless a few months ago and have not cracked it open yet ( trying to finish off my ONR), but I am going to do my own test on it by spraying the surface and hosing it off, then washing the surface. doing this same method with both in a side to side comparison, this gives me an idea to post a video about it. I think it would be fun to do, my only issue is I live in vegas where we have some of the worst (hardest) water in the country lol, so i'm not sure how that will affect the results. also as far as wash media, I have a microfiber was mitt and the big red sponge that i use with ONR.

[@diydetailofficial]

@@DetailProjects actually all 3 encapsulate quite well. What you’re seeing is stratification.

[@LSD04]

I’ve been firmly in the soap camp and is still currently my preferred option, I have used Rinseless with ONR, Absolute and now DIY and plan to try it more this year, watching Ivan pull the sponge out of the bucket looking perfectly clean has certainly given me something to think about.

[@DetailProjects]

Very interesting!

[@BillKurtz-m2g]

I was an ONR user. After trying DIY detail one time I knew I wasn't going back. DIY detail cleans so well, there is no film left behind thats needs buffed out during the drying process. My sponge, brushes and microfibers are virtually clean after using DIY, not so with ONR. Don't let this video keep you from trying the other products. You may find ONR is not the best for you.

[@soapa4279]

ONR and Optimum car care products are the OGs. They've been innovating for so long, not surprised it does best here

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

I work in water treatment, and they use Alum to get the solids to settle to the bottom. The Alum bonds to the solids and makes them heavier thus causing them to sink to the bottom. Im going to assume there's similar tech in ONR's product. However, seperation of solids, while important, isnt the only measurement of performance so lets keep that in mind. This is only one aspect.

[@TheThewindymiller]

Ive been using ONR for many years, snd the cars i maintain with it are a testament to its excellence. I have tried P&S Absolute which works well and is great on interiors, BUT, for my money ONR edges it.

[@alexbryan7641]

Encapsulation is just half of the equation as you mentioned. I’ve used all three personally and find diy detail to be the most effective in encapsulation and emulsification overall. Onr definitely encapsulates well but doesn’t emulsify much at all which is probably it’s biggest downfall. It’s great for maintenance washes but anything more than dusty it’s gonna struggle to tackle the soil safely. McKees emulsifies fantastic but doesn’t encapsulate as well as onr. Diy detail rinseless does both well. You also have to take gravity into account as well as once you pre-spray the panel the emulsifiers in the product will drag the dirt down the panel & onto the ground below. Interesting test though. Should do the test on a vertical panel. Put all three next to each other with a pre-spray then do the swipe test or something similar.

[@MarkTrades__]

I love ONR and Optimum. Their car wash soap (dark blue product not ONR) is SO UNDERRATED. idk what they put in there but it makes the porous plastics on a vehicle (especially things like oem mudflaps & fender flares) look like you used a mild trim-restorer on it every time you wash AND that effect builds. On my mom's newer subarus over the years (LOTS of this type of plastic) optimums car wash soap makes her ceramic coated paint look like the plastics got the ceramic coating too (but they didn't).

I've been using ONR for years thanks to Yvan from when he was with the other company. I now want to try the DIY products for my own comparison and from what I've seen across the board with other detailers is the they are happy with DIY as well and sometimes even happier. With your test here, I picture these 3 cups with a grit guard at the bottom and wonder which one I want to dunk my wash media in to first and it seems it's the ONR. I read the comments below but it just seems odd that the cleaner water above the grit guard is not exactly the best option due to the science. I would normally always pick the cleaner water to use not the muddy water. Maybe I'm weird. LOL Great video. Thank you!

[@kanaldetailingowy]

I tested all these shampoos. And ONR is the best - in fact, the rest works, but not that well and the differences are sometimes very large. According to my information, rinseless shampoos should not contain soap because this shampoo does not rinse off. And this is the entire principle of operation of this product, the problem is that other companies cannot make such a good polimers, so they add soap.

[@jefferrrson1x]

Sounds accurate.

[@themikeroberts]

Why is it a problem to not rinse off the surfactants ("soap")? That's standard procedure with interior car and building cleaning - you spray a cleaner that has surfactants and then wipe it rather than rinse.

amazing video! this finally clears a lot of doubts that I had about the competition of ONR, the old reliable. its great to see right before your eyes the real results and the real power of a true "emulsifier and encapsulator" rinseless wash. whereas the others market the same characteristics but don't actually have the results to prove it. Perhaps they should watch this video, and learn a thing or two from ONR and either rebrand their product, or improve it.

[@ohboy2592]

You should read the post from one of the product persons above and then you’d understand the chemistry behind the three products. This is a one sided test and doesn’t show the difference in emulsion and encapsulation.

[@AndreasSchwarzinger]

Why? Maybe I am missing something here, or I don´t quite understand the test and/or I am interpreting the results in a wrong way, but in my opinion, this "test" does NOT show in any way, shape or form that ONR really "encapsulates". And it´s in my opinion a really really good example of how you can manipulate viewers into buying into marketing terminology with seemingly scientific testing. What we see in this test and video is that in the ONR cup there is some sort of separation. The dirt / dirty water separates from the ONR solution. Whereas in the other two cups, there is no separation. In my view and opinion, this is NOT encapsulation. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. When I see a separation like this, then the dirt is NOT encapsulated. If we translate the results of this test into the real world and application on a car, then this would mean that if I spray ONR on a panel, then ONR will sit on top of the dirt whereas the dirt will "sink" down onto the panel. So, as soon as I touch the panel with a mitt or towel, my mitt / towel is gliding on the layer of ONR and I drag the dirt along the panel - which is exactly what I DON´T want. If I translate the findings of this test on the other two products into the real world, then they emulsify / encapsulate / whatever, meaning they mix with the dirt, and then when I use my mitt / towel then there is a mix of product, water and dirt which I drag along the panel - which is safer than dragging the dirt along the panel. What I´m interested in is to see what happens if you pour some olive oil into the same cup. I´m pretty sure you would see a similar kind of separation. Does that mean that olive oil also "encapsulates"? Again, maybe I´m missing something here, but I really don´t see how this test prooves in any way, shape or form how ONR actually "encapsulates" something. And I´m even more shocked that noone else seems to realize this and how so many people just take what was said in this video and blindly repeat it without critically thinking about what they just saw.

[@AutoRotate1000]

GREAT thinking! I wanted to do the same thing after I saw that video also

[@opticarcare]

First off nice demo and glad that you watched ours. Definition of ENCAPSULATE 1 : to show or express the main idea or quality of (something) in a brief way * a phrase that perfectly encapsulates [=sums up] my feelings about the day * The first song encapsulates [=captures] the mood of the whole album. 2 : to completely cover (something) especially so that it will not touch anything else * The contaminated material should be encapsulated and removed. So yes we feel that this demo (and ours) shows that the dirt particles are "Encapsulated" and yes separated due to that. If the dirt wasn't encapsulated the water would remain dirty. Also this video visually "Encapsulates" the science that we are showing in this demo. So both meanings of the word "encapsulate" are showed in these videos. To answer the comments about what is happening here. When you wet the surface with ONR, the solution (due to the polymers used in the formula) will lift and encapsulate the dirt particles which protects the surface while you clean. The dirt is trapped in the wash media and then released into the bucket where it is pulled to the bottom so it is not reintroduced onto the surface. Where as if you were to wash with another rinseless wash that is NOT encapsulating the dirt - the dirt will not be pulled to bottom of bucket and you will be washing with dirty water and have the potential to reintroduce the dirt onto the surface. Which will increase your chances of marring the surface. As for the comments about others leaving the surface slicker - it that happens something is left behind to create that. A clean surface is just that... clean. IF you want that then we suggest using ONR Wash and Wax. That will produce a slicker surface that ONR.

[@DetailProjects]

Thank you for watching and responding to the video! We can all appreciate this information coming first hand from the company with the appropriate credentials who created this product, to shine some light on all the misinformation out there. Can you please also explain as to why not using the “proper dilution ratio” in your video, just to answer this big question as well?

[@opticarcare]

@@DetailProjects We did this video really quick and we are planning to be doing a full video showing the proper dilution in the very near future. We just wanted to get a clear bucket to fully demonstrate the encapsulation process. In that video we will address more with why we recommend using a sponge to clean with, not microfiber, the difference between Emulsification and Encapsulation, and what is happening on a more scientific level. In that video will will address many of the comments that we have received on our video, yours and a few others that have popped up since we released the original video. Stay tuned. Many other rinselsess wash say they encapsulate but really emulsify. In our video we used the product that is the closest to ours that have some sort of encapsulation unlike others. We are not trying to bash other brands (there are plenty of great rinseless washes out there) - we just want to show why we think ours is different, what separates our technology that Dr. David Ghodoussi developed, and why we think it is a better way to clean.

[@DetailProjects]

This will be fantastic for the community to get first hand information and clear up all the nonsense around this topic. Based on some comments made, it’s safe to say that some folks definitely missed the whole point of this demonstration and took it out of context. Also, something important to highlight here, this video was made backpacking from your original video, with the intention to see how other Rinseless washes compare to ONR encapsulation technology. And clearly we could see the results speaking for themselves. The video was NOT made to “bash” others or be bias. The video was NOT made to compare cleaning power, cleaning ability, slickness or other characteristics. It was a pure scientific factual test comparing encapsulation. For your next video It would best received if Dr G was present to explain at a scientific level while demonstrating, to cover the most common questions folks may have. It would be a very interesting topic for discussion and I would be happy to be a part of the conversation! Great job as always and thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions.

[@marathonmatt9813]

I am not a big fan of rinseless washes, maybe I'll get into it at some point. The biggest selling point for me is the dirt quickly settling at the bottom of the bucket. Even if it doesn't "encapsulate" the dirt on the surface of the car, I know that each time I put that sponge on the surface of the car I have less of a chance of re-intruducing the same dirt I just pulled off the car on the last pass.

[@AMP8424]

ONR just did this exact style experiment a few days ago.

[@spsellars]

This has nothing to do with “encapsulation” (the dirt being surrounded by polymers so it won’t reattach/scratch.) They all do that. ONR’s chemistry has those encapsulated particles combine, which makes them drop out of solution faster. (Bigger particle = heavier.) This is also why ONR doesn’t release dirt from media as well. (If you use a sponge, you’ll notice it doesn’t rinse as clean.) This means you’d potentially be dragging larger particles back across the surface as you wash, unless you use something like the multi towel method, in which case this doesn’t matter as you’re not reintroducing dirty media back into the rinseless wash…

[@macallanvintage]

Consumers have been conned…again..by the Americans. The “encapsulation” is merely a fancy Americanized theatrical description of a classic micellar action of surfactants in water, where the final product is loosely considered a highly concentrated “waxed shampoo” thats wiped dry without rinsing. Thats all.

It might encaspulate and draw the dirt that’s in your bucket, but DIY Rinseless removes the dirt off your sponge much better, meaning you’re not moving old grit across the panel on the next wipe

[@gregory3227]

It’s almost never “grit” left on my wash media and almost always traffic film which does not scratch nor does it transfer to the paint in my experience. A surfactant which diy and mckees have will remove the traffic film from the wash media much easier but I’m not worried about the traffic film as the wash media will likely absorb it and do the cleaning through agitation and encapsulation. Encapsulating grit is what matters to me because that’s what actually scratches the surface.

[@AlarmedBready]

[@TheEpyonz]

Funny how divided the comments are. One thing to note is that if you are truly on the path of avoiding scratching, you wouldn’t want to use the same wash media over and over again on different panels. I get that the allure of DIY is that it comes off easier off the wash media but why would anyone these days just not use the multiple wash mitt/wash media method instead? Theoretically, you’ll have a way better chance of not reintroducing contaminants or dirt on another panel with a new media/cloth for every new panel. I usually use 1 bucket, no grit guard and like 10 micro fibre washing mits or towels. Wipe a panel with a clean surface and start fresh with another panel. In that instance, I prefer that the ONR seems to trap more dirt to take away with it. Also, no rinse is missed with the ability to foam with DIY. The idea is that you don’t need rinsing or pressured water for those who won’t have access. Having it foam with a pressure washer as a pre-rinse is not feasible for those that have no pressure washer access. This is why ONR hit it out of the park with their claims to do exactly what it was meant for. My black car is going 3 years strong from new, paint corrected, winter driven and only ever washed with ONR. I have little to no scratches and can’t find any marring on my panels except for gloss black trims.

[@BrillianceAutoSpa]

If the water looks stained then there's still dirt. It's just s smaller particle that's suspended.

[@patricktuggles4815]

Lol, I'd say that too if I owned the company.

[@davefgs2399]

Very cool to see. I would argue the murky water with the other products doesn't mean much cause you can see the actual dirt is on the bottom, when you wash the car your media will be the proof of that as you dunck it in the bucket and it comes out clean I usually go for a combo, I love ONR as a prerinse cause the encapsulation is on another level and it just pulls the majority of the dirt off the car before touching it, but in the bucket I like to have something else that might feel a bit smoother, I know its probably just a placebo but you know

[@JRusso853]

Would love to see another comparison test with Oberks Rinseless Wash and Phoenix EOD Hydra against the ONR.

[@francos2696]

Very interesting experiment. Would love to see how P&S Absolute Rinselss Wash compares to the ONR which looks fantastic from your results. Please do a P&S Absolute Rinseless Wash experiment.

[@hotshotx1598]

For me it was between ONR (due to its many uses) and DIY, but the fac that DIY is harder to acquire is why I still use ONR despite DIY being slightly better at cleaning (noticeably better if we are talking a super messy car which ONR might have trouble with). I can't justify paying extra for weeklong shipping when I can get free shipping on Amazon for ONR and get it the next day. If DIY ever sells their products on Amazon under Amazon Prime, I might finally make the full switch.

[@Morpheus02000]

What about P&S Absolute?

[@AndreasSchwarzinger]

Maybe I am missing something here, or I don´t quite understand the test and/or I am interpreting the results in a wrong way, but in my opinion, this "test" does NOT show in any way, shape or form that ONR really "encapsulates". And it´s in my opinion a really really good example of how you can manipulate viewers into buying into marketing terminology with seemingly scientific testing. What we see in this test and video is that in the ONR cup there is some sort of separation. The dirt / dirty water separates from the ONR solution. Whereas in the other two cups, there is no separation. In my view and opinion, this is NOT encapsulation. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. When I see a separation like this, then the dirt is NOT encapsulated. If we translate the results of this test into the real world and application on a car, then this would mean that if I spray ONR on a panel, then ONR will sit on top of the dirt whereas the dirt will "sink" down onto the panel. So, as soon as I touch the panel with a mitt or towel, my mitt / towel is gliding on the layer of ONR and I drag the dirt along the panel - which is exactly what I DON´T want. If I translate the findings of this test on the other two products into the real world, then they emulsify / encapsulate / whatever, meaning they mix with the dirt, and then when I use my mitt / towel then there is a mix of product, water and dirt which I drag along the panel - which is safer than dragging the dirt along the panel. What I´m interested in is to see what happens if you pour some olive oil into the same cup. I´m pretty sure you would see a similar kind of separation. Does that mean that olive oil also "encapsulates"? Again, maybe I´m missing something here, but I really don´t see how this test prooves in any way, shape or form how ONR actually "encapsulates" something. And I´m even more shocked that noone else seems to realize this and how so many people just take what was said in this video and blindly repeat it without critically thinking about what they just saw.

Bin ebenfalls erst fasziniert gewesen und habe mich aber im nachhinein gefragt, ob der unterschied wirklich so gigantisch sein kann, oder hier schlicht und einfach etwas anderes als abkapseln passiert. Du hast meinen Gedankengang ziemlich detailliert ausgeführt, danke dir

@@Duusin 💪👍🙏

@@Duusin du kannst mal einfach für dich das exakt gleiche Experiment nachstellen und einen guten Schuss Olivenöl ins Glas kippen. Es wird den selben Effekt haben. Beweist das jetzt, dass Olivenöl ein geeigneter Reiniger wäre? 😉

Sehr gute und richtige Stellungnahme Andreas 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mutatedgenome]

So if you are going to use a rinseless wash product as a pre-wash only, i.e. in a sprayer then rinse off, followed by a contact wash, does it really matter which one you use?

[@Airpaycheck]

So what wouls happen if you used a mix of two or all ove the above checking both the wash water and media? More experiments!

[@bbdetailing9123]

[@DomSchiavoni]

Is this as relevant to WaterlessWash as it is to RinselessWash ? Any reason the chemical formula would need to be different for either?

[@jonathansteele8601]

When thinking about encapsulation and washing. I would want the dirt to stay in the salutation so it gets rinsed off

[@bpy4073]

The dilution is not what is reccomended in the instructions

[@domtrabucco7612]

Great test, can you showcase ONR V Labocosmetica Idrosave in the same test?

[@joeschmoe6908]

Onr does very little to remove any kind of oily road film. It's just good at removing loose dirt. Kinda like a regular ph neutral soap, but even worse.

[@1powerequalsgod]

I’m now wondering about this if a rinseless wash like ONR can separate the dirt like this. Then what would a water purification product do as a rinseless separating dirt and grime.

[@rahulrage]

I was thinking a good product should pull things towards the top or best would be to have the dirt in the middle, right? Like if all the dirt is at the bottom then when you use a sponge to clean it and finally a towel to dry then it would all rub on the paint. Am I getting this wrong?

[@yftinthyn007]

You're right. That's emulsifying dirt and oils.

[@rahulrage]

@@yftinthyn007 Thanks for confirming this as I was confused with many videos just talking about sending dirt to the bottom. However, when thinking more about what is happening, I might be misunderstanding this. This behavior would be good for cleaning if the particles near the bottom are still enclosed/locked by the product molecules and there is still a film of water and product molecules between the dirt particles and the paint surface.

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct

[@Newyen6MT]

Just because ONR is pulling the dirt and seperating the dirt, doesn’t mean that it’s cleaning the wash media as well. I just did a Rinseless wash with DIY to remove the road film and salt off. Bucket was very dark but there was no grit going back onto the paint.

[@RichardGerard]

But the dirty water is. It makes a difference on white vehicles especially.

[@SaddyTaz]

Thanks for the video. It would be interesting if P&S Absolute is included in this experiment.

[@DetailProjects]

I am 99.9% certain that P&S Absolute was the competition on the original video OPT posted on their channel. I have a link in the description to check out!

[@SaddyTaz]

@@DetailProjects Good to know. I think you are right when the competition on the video looks as milky as P&S Absolute.

[@sk8ordie4691]

Was definitely absolute, could see the label through the white sticker

[@A.S.8.9.]

All I see here is yet another reason not to buy ONR. If the safest way to wash the vehicle is to provide enough lubricity that think about it - when emulsifing the dirt with surfactant to particles so small that all the do is they stain water they’re safe right? And if you go on and wash a little dirtier vehicle with a polymer theres not much polymers left in it as all of them cling to the dirt and go down to the bottom. And to reuse the water over and over again as beeing advertised doesn’t make it better. Washing with almost pure water only is not the best idea either. Tried most rinseless washes on the market and ONR is so far the worst I’ve tried with poorest lubricity and overall experience for me.

[@murasakirs]

it would have been interesting if you added the ONR to the other two cups AFTER the other pructs were put in the cups to see if the ONR would've cleared those cups...

[@mikezupancic2182]

The problem with this test is that it doesnt mimick any real world examples. The point is to remove or lift. This video doesnt show this in any way.

[@BriFree100]

I really like ONR but it adds protection which I don’t want. I’ve bought DIY Detail to try out. People seem very happy with that. Maybe it works on a 5 way to ONR?

[@JohnnyCage888]

ONR is the goat 🐐

[@artlayton1425]

Would it be more accurate if you mixed a bucket of each chemical according to their directions? And then took a sample from the bucket and put that in the dirty water?

[@NoirSavant]

I had switched to McKees because ONR doesn’t really remove traffic film but n914 does. But this has me ready to go back.

[@barrybij8079]

Very interesting... the newer onr is not as slick ... they need to update or bring back version 3

[@AmirAbdullah]

While this test is great for ONR in a cup, on a car panel results look and feel different, and to be fair everyone has always known ONR is a great product. But like I said with pre spray and a sponge method all these do great. Just some leave a residue, those of us who use rinseless on a daily already know which product is cleaner after the wipe off , which one needs another pass. Which one leaves absolutely nothing behind. Most of us have seen the results on our clients cars. ONR cleans and does encapsulate as we’ve seen for years but others clean the panels better imo the panels aren’t cleaner with ONR, I could even throw in ECOwash from OP, or Hydra from phoenix EOD as well wipe out is another good cleaner. A real test is to use them on car panels by just spraying them on a panel and letting them soak in and rinse off then you’ll see which is grabbing more , which looks cleaner ans some even feel slicker. What this shows us here is ONR pushes dirt down faster. Still awesome video.

[@revengex5163]

Fantastic video , i am fanatic rinseless wash . I'm curious to see Carpro eco2 vs Onr , i use eco2 and onr Pleaseeeee same product vs eco2

@@AndreasSchwarzinger it seems I too have misunderstood the test and was initially impressed with a demo of water displacement having had no prior knowledge of ONR and its magical dirt encapsulating technology. Are you saying the whole ONR rinseless cleaning system is just a gimmick? I have to admit that I was believing the facts in the video to be true as I’d expect content creators to be factually accurate when making content and as you point out it’s definitely not the case here so that’s disappointing 😤

Interesting, but i still rather see a clean sponge..before i hit the paint. I'm also in the minority, i really could care less about a few swirls, i polish my car every summer. DIY and N914 are better cleans than absolute, for off label its very apparent- i experiment with a lot of surfaces inside my house and workplace - just for fun. I never used ONR. In the OPT video it was clearly absolute, which is ok too. But i prefer DIY. Can't wait to try the polymer rinseless for Labocosmetica however. Zero interest in ONR after reading just today it stains wash media? That can't be true!? Bumper if that's true IMO. I'll pass.
