This might be obvious and Im missing it, but how does "One" differ from ONR?

What exactly is there to "buff of" from a waterless wash system?

I had used ONE a couple of times previously , so I had faith in it.
Besides, I'll be detailing it again soon...any marring it might have left behind
will be taken care of.
He's a very good friend who gets free details . In exchange, I get to use his
car as a test bed.
He's REALLY the brave one!!!!

Good point!!!!

ONE is waterless, ONR is rinseless. When you spray on ONE, you let it sit for a few seconds to emulsify the dirt then you wipe it just enough to remove the liquid and dirt. When you do so, the remaining residue will dry to a haze and that's what gets buffed off. With ONR, you wash the car w/a 2 gallon mixture of water and ONR, but you don't have to rinse the car off after you wash it, you just dry it off w/ a MF towel.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

2 Comments:

1) This must make for some DIRTY towels!
2) This is definitely a leap of faith from even those currently using ONR, which requires its own leap of faith for those switching from a traditional wash method.

I just placed a CG order thats already shipped, I might have added this had I known about it. **crossing fingers that because its new they threw it in as a sample..

According to Paul at CG...ONE will NOT remove your LSP.

OK, that's it, I am going to CG after work Friday and getting some of it.

Figured it's time to be a productive member of Autopia. I had bought CG One a few days before Mothers day and was able to try it out a week later on my friend's car. I had detailed his car previously so I was not too concerned about the level of dirt on the car. I was a little concerned about using it but I figured since he was going to sell the car, it didn't matter.

The process is really as simple as stated. Spray, wait a few seconds, wipe, haze, and wipe/buff.

Final thoughts:
I really do like this product in that it's so easy to use, smells nice and has some "protection" to it. However, I personally would rather use it on a previously detailed car that was only slightly dirty considering how much a container costs. The only issue I had with it was that after the final buffing process, I felt like I was pushing around some of the residue from the wax. I'm not too sure how to describe it other than maybe it might have became like a dried flake of wax that I needed to pick up w/ a fresh towel.

Hope that helps.

I could see the concern on the cost for those who just do detailing sometimes, maybe don't charge much to do it, but i'm having a hard time understanding how those who do detailing alot and charge fair market value for their work are citing cost as an issue. It would seem to me that the time saved by using this product would free you up to do more jobs which means more income. Seems to be the perfect product for those wash n wax customers too, especially since this stuff is a sealant and wax AIO.

Great video example of how it works. And I also feel like you definately need a fresh towel
to buff off the haze.........By the way, tell your friend, "bless you". LOL.

Not trying to start a pissing match here , BUT...
The last time I fully detailed my truck , I topped with 845.
Two days later I used ONE on the entire hood (just the hood)
to remove pollen dust and a couple bird bombs.
Within 2 weeks the hood was "flat"...as in no longer beading water,
dust was sticking to it, etc...
The rest of the truck was fine...exhibiting the properties I've
come to expect from 845.
I recleaned the hood and resealed with 845 and problem solved.
I know it's not a lab test , but, EMPIRICALLY, it showed me that ONE stripped my LSP.

Besides, I've cleaned some pretty tough stuff with ONE (wheels , brake dust , etc...)
and I gotta believe with that kind of cleaning power an LSP
doesn't stand a chance.
IIRC, even the bottle notes that ONE contains polish and cleaners...

Hey is CG's order status on their website up to date? do they send you an email when your stuff has been shipped?

I ordered some stuff on Monday, and it has still yet to be shipped according to the website order tracker. No emails from them either.
