Quick Detailing: ONR vs. Poorboys Spray and Wipe?

racingbeat · 10-17-06, 04:30

I'm 100% sold on ONR for washing but I'm in the habit of using a cleaning quick detailer after a wash. So far that' been FK 146 and I have no complaints. Its a perfect compliment to ONR in my opinion bringing the extra bonus of anti-static barrier, really great to see after a rainfall. Dirt just slides away.

anyhow....for non-wash days when I do a quick detail (now that we are headed towards winter) I'm interested in toting a different spray. I try to limit my self to one quick detailing of the paint between washes and I'm considering either getting more ONR or
giving the PB S&W a shot.

So I'm interested in seeing what opinions are from those who have used both.
A gallon of Poorboys' S&W is $30 and a gallon of ONR is $40.

Does the Poorboy's S&W provide any aditional bite or rewards that can't be obtained using ONR at QD strength?

I'm a little confused. Even though ONR is $40 a gallon, you mix it with water. S&W is used right out of the bottle - no mixing, right? So ONR will last a lot longer than the $30 gallon of S&W, right?

I think the ONR will be the best bang for the buck by far. It do love the Pb S&W though.

Why quick detail when you can wax with the same ease as OCW ?

I was under the impression that SW could be watered down?

Can someone tell me what ONR is? and where can you buy it?

Thank you all.

ONR is definetly going to be my new QD. To me it's the best bang for my buck. I love how it cleans filthy door jambs just effortlessly.

Although I think the recommended 6oz to 1 Gallon of water ratio for the QD is questionable, especially when the recommended dillution for a wash is 1oz to 2 gallons of water?

As in 6oz is too much? I just mixed bottles of QD and a Claybar lube using ONR. To tell you truth I was thinking that 6oz wasnt going to be enough, it just looks like water....

I just used it with a Pinnacle Bug "sponge" and it worked great.

No I agree with you, I found it kind of odd that the recommended dillution for a wash was a lot less then their recommended QD dillution.
