:bigups Well, after much reading I finally tried out the bottle of ONR i`ve had for 2 months. I`m impressed with the product. It took me about an hour to do the whole car, but i took my time. I think once i get my technique down, hopefully i`ll be able to break about 20 minutes off that time (hopefully). I used 2 buckets, wheels first, pre-treated and then one panel @ a time, top to bottom with chenelle mits and PB`s WW`s. Topped it with OSW. This stuff its pretty amazing. Thanks Juztang for answering my questions and the fine OPT products. Now i guess i`ll be ordering it a gallon @ a time.

it really is one of those things, seeing is believing. I dragged my feet to get some cause I don`t mind conventional washing, but to me the ONR wash is better, easier, and faster. I saw no learning curve as amount to use or streaking, as some have, perfect results first time.

No doubt. Seeing is beleiving. The first time I read about ONR I said to myself no way. Then ScottWax and others said yeah in will work. Tried it and was amazed!!! Now I wash my car in my garage where it is nice and warm. Then wax. What a product!!

I just tried this today as well, it is great! Like others I was somewhat skeptical but now think I will be using it all the time. Very easy to use and saves a lot of time. Not to mention I live in an apartment so conventional washing is a PITA.

I`ve used it 3 times now & love it. Finally have a way to keep the cars clean through a ND winter. I start at the top & do the wheels last with an old MF.

an extra bonus to using ONR is that i can hide in my garage and do it...that way my neighbors won`t think i`m a freak for washing my cars so often. hahahaha :)



you also avoid the "hey...is mine next?!?" comments. yeah!

I still prefer a hose to remove most of the loose dirt before touching the paint esp on wheels, wheel wells and tires , but I can see the benefit without one too( I have used it and QEW now and then over the last year). One big benefit is what paradigm mentioned, the neighbours won`t see what u are doing in the garage :lol Mine think I am crazy anyway becouse we share a parking hall in the building. They don`t even comment anymore, just smile and drive away with their filthy cars.

I`ve used QEW twice now and after each time I could see marring when brought under the sun. I believe I used 2 ounces for 2 gallons, a seperate rinse bucket, Eurow Sheepskin Mitt, and a bunch of Microfibers. My car has never gone over a week and a half to without cleaning, and in this case each time I used QEW it went about 4-5 days before cleaning. I started from the roof and from there did one panel at a time. I let the Sheepskin mitt do all the work and did not apply any pressure what so ever, yet somehow still got marring. The car is a 98 Honda civic and the clear is very soft, but I dont think that is the problem?:nervous:
