ONR is truly amazing in my eyes! I now only use it to clean the entire car. Due to my busy schedule, I only have time to wash my car at night, so I use ONR under halogens to safely and effectively get the job done. It is such a blessing to not have weather or daylight affect the process whatsoever. I also enjoy the fact that I can do everything in sections by taking breaks in between, without worrying about water spots. It is the only was I will clean my delicate and expensive Volk wheels. A problem I recently reminded of with conventional washing of wheels was the corrosion of the break rotors. I sprayed down my wheels with the hose after using ARO on the tires and wheel wells. I then proceeded to wash the rims with ONR. I use a leaf blower to dry the partially dry the wheels by getting the majority of the water out of cracks and crevices. Then I proceed to dry the rest of the wheel with a plush MF towel. Using the leaf blower allows the brake rotors to fully dry so when I take the car around the corner, I don't get as much brake dust fly off from the rotors. It is much worse when a hose is used than a 2 gal sprayer, since the rotor doesn't get as drenched would with a hose, also minimizing the amount of dust fly off on the wheels. With my rims since they are 5 spoke, with exposed inner barrels, this can be a huge problem. With ONR, this headache is greatly minimized.

ONR also leaves a protective and glossy finish on the paint and wheels which makes you not have to QD directly after a wash to get the look you want. For example, I detailed my dad's gray '05 BMW 530i after it had been threw 2 rainstorms and hadn't been washed in a month. I had to use ARO to clean the wheels and wells traditional wash method, but the rest of the car was ONR'd after being sprayed down with a hose. When I was all done the car looked the best it had looked in a very long time. My dad was stunned with how good it looked and asked what I had used on the paint since it looked so good. BTW, the car has not been waxed in a very long time.

When I wash my car, on the paint I use distilled water with ONR after the car has been pre-rinsed with my 2 gal sprayer with ONR at QD strength. Distilled water makes a huge difference since I can wipe of the water with only one drying pass and have no spots, unlike tap water. A huge plus!

For the marring speculation, I believe it is possible to have limited to no marring with this method. I recently got my aftermarket front bumper painted and knew that this was my chance to truly test its claim of a mar-free wash. I use a MF sponge, and am very careful. I dry it only with my best plush MF towels. I take extra time on the front bumper since I spent so much and want it to stay truly perfect. To my surprise, under halogens, and direct sunlight, no swirls are present to this day! The bumper is about a month old and my car is a DD.

Well that is my ONR story! I hope it helped clear up some speculation about the product. For me, it is one product I could truly not live without due to all its uses.
