Quick questions about ONR

[superblack350]

Do you just poor two caps in the 2 gallon of water then start using it or do you guys sud it up like regular shampoo?



Also, can you take long strokes or shorter strokes would be better on black paint? I`m trying not to marr up the paint. Thanks

each capful is half an ounce so 4 caps to 2 gallons of water per instructions. Personally I don`t do much at a time using ONR for the same worries

[superblack350]

ah crap, ddin`t use enough then.



Anybody have any clue about to sud it up or not?

[BlackElantraGT]

i stir it up vigorously with my measuring shot glass but it doesn`t really sud up much. It`ll look more like blue water.



Also, keep in mind that if you have a gallon size container of ONR, you can`t use the cap as a measuring device as it`s not accurate. If you look carefully on the instructions, you will notice that Optimum stuck a sticker for the 32 oz bottle onto the gallon container.

lol cutting costs, yeah blue water definitely but surprisingly I mixed mine in a 32 oz. bottle for QD and it lost much of it`s blue hue after a while

[superblack350]

yeah, i only got the 32oz bottle. i saw a pic in a previous click and brag thread and i saw someone who sud their mix up. So i guess not sudding it up is ok.

ONR is not supposed to suds up.

[Raz5219]

+1 no suds at all. It`s more like washing your car with windex....except not. :cool:

That was someone who did a 50/50 with conventional soap. Not sure why they did it, but thats where the suds came from.

If you like the lubricity of two capfulls, go with it. i use 2.5 capfulls (gal cap) per 2 Gals of water.

So everyone is on the same page, ONR calls for 1oz. to 2 gallons of water. If the cap is a 1/2 ounce, you should only need 2 capfuls per 2 gallons of water.

Yup, shouldnt suds but it turns the water a pretty blue. :2thumbs:



I use a 1/4 cup per 4 gallons.

This was after filling up the bucket with high pressure:

Those quickly went away once I put the mitt in.

Gotcha! I`ve been using a medicine cup (like the one that comes with a Pepto Bismol bottle). It`s a 1oz. cup so it makes measuring a breeze.

[Macruz19]

I`m gonna do my first ONR wash ever tomorrow morning and will use 1oz per gallon. I`ll start my first wash with 2 gallons with grit guard.



We`ll see how great this stuff is!

thanks for the good info people. Cleared up some confusion for me. This stuff works good though. My paint felt very slick after using it. Not like my normal hose and shampoo.
