BMW wash plan using ONR

Its been a while since I've washed cars. I used to take my E90 to the hand car wash but now I'm planning to was the F30 myself. However, I'm interested in rinse-less washing. I am aware of ONR and have used it in the past and I'm planning to use it now for my F30. The main concern is that I'm not really sure how to wash the wheels and the front bumper grill (in the ///M Sport). Should I just add ONR solution to a sprayer and clean/wipe the bumper grill? I was thinking to do the same with the wheels but instead use a brush and then wipe/clean. Please advise.

Thanks!

I'd recommend Chemical Guys Ecosmart instead. It's waterless and works great, plus you can use it on all surfaces (wheels, glass, etc)

I just wash the entire body with ONR, not really sure why you need to do the grill any different.

For wheels I still use a standard water wash though.

+1 Optimum No Rinse for entire car, even wheels.

I guess I'm lucky I don't get much break dust (or at least I clean my car often enough so it doesn't accumulate).

Just be sure to use lots of clean, quality micro fibre towels.

What I do is power rinse the whole car, then sprayer a section of the car at a time w/ONR
