Which is Best— ADS Hero or Opti-Coat No Rinse (ONR Yellow)?

In todays' video I compared Armor Detail Supply (ADS) Hero vs Opti-Coat No Rinse on my car to see which rinseless wash felt better — under the sponge and under a drying towel — not to test cleaning power or long-term protection. I ran both buckets at the standard rinseless ratio (256:1), used pump sprayers at 16:1 for pre-spray/drying aid, a Rag Company rinseless sponge on one side and an Optimum sponge on the other, and dried with Clean by Pan rinseless towels. What you’ll see: a non-scientific hood split test, me trying to judge slickness and drag, then washing each side of the car. I even swapped sponges between buckets to check whether the difference was the product or the sponge — spoiler: sponge density was the biggest tactile difference. Both products are insanely slick; Optic Coat leaves some SiO2-based ceramic protection and felt slightly smoother when drying, while ADS Hero is slightly cheaper (~$20–25 vs Opti-Coat around $30 for 16 oz) and doesn’t leave protection. Which do you prefer for rinseless? Have you tried ONR Yellow? This video is not sponsored or affiliated with any brand. All products were bought with my own money for my own use.
