...3.5 ONR capfuls, if you`re using the gallon jug of ONR.



Last summer, someone pointed out that the labeling on the ONR gallon jug was incorrect; 1 oz of ONR was *not* two capfuls as stated on the label. It`s correct for the quart sized container, though.



In my latest detailing supply order, I got a couple of those nifty mesuring devices that you screw onto the top of the jug, squeeze the jug, and it fills the measuring cup on top.



I try to mix ONR double strength, so I measured two ounces using the measuring cup, which turned out to be seven capfuls.



Anyway, it`s nice to know exactly how much ONR you`re measuring out, regardless of what you`re using it for... washing, detailing, clay lube, etc.



Turns out I wasn`t as close to mixing it double strength as I thought. I had been using five capfuls per two gallons of water. Seven is the magic number.

Thanks Supe, I just got a gallon so that`s good to know. I`ve been thinking of ordering those screw-on measuring things but haven`t yet.

So is the qt. cap larger than the gallon size? If so, thanks for pointing that out. Been using 4 caps on the gallon size per 2 gallons, so I guess I was ok.

I`ve got a couple of those pro blend bottle things. I haven`t used them yet though.



Maybe this accounts for your marring you have been experiencing?

Yes. The ONR quart bottle cap is .5 oz.

Even the five caps I was using prior to today is 1.5 caps more than normal strength. I just think that Utah is very abrasive. ;)

Too many dry counties.

It used to be my Micro-restore container, but the pic shows water in the container at that time I took the pic.





Depending on how dirty my car is.. I`ll use 2oz of ONR with 2 gallons of water.



1 oz of ONR / 1 gallon wheels for wheels

I`ve seen you post that container before, and have been meaning to ask you if you know of a place that sells just that empty container. I`d love to have about a dozen of those.

..........if you know of a place that sells just that empty container. I`d love to have about a dozen of those.Ranney at PakShak sells them:



MICROPAK Twin Neck Bottle 16 oz (http://store.pakshak.com/twin-neck-bottle-16oz.html)



Do a Google search for "Twin Neck Bottle" and you might find a cheaper source.



On my gallon of ONR I just have a pump that squirts out an ounce at a time...... makes it pretty easy.

Thanks, John!



I was searching usplastics... found this...HDPE Dispensing Bottles - US Plastic Corporation (http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=usplastic&category%5Fname=8&product%5Fid=20700) The bottles on that link only have one ounce measuring cup capacity. The ones here...Prop R Measure - US Plastic Corporation (http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/variant.asp?catalog%5Fname=usplastic&category%5Fname=14953&product%5Fid=26675&variant%5Fid=66578) have graduations for one to six ounces.



I need to get some of those one ounce pumps. I had a bunch of em that got lost in a move.

I just use those cheap 1oz measuring cups. I never trust cap measurements.

Why do you use ONR at double strength?
