If you don`t stop hyping up all this awesomeness that`s supposed to be happening, I`m gonna come down to tampa, fill a pillowcase with bottles of Solitaire, and beat you with it

V2 is amazing. I`ve been pushing it to everyone I know...

Have you been using it straight, as a dressing? If not, you should... Its fantastic!

Hmmm. I`m wondering if I should give this IUDJ a try

ONR. Haven`t used HD Free yet.

**Scottwax** · 09-26-2012, 11:15 PM

BTW, ONR is a great carpet and headliner cleaner too.

Interesting, what is your headliner cleaning method?

Been using ONR v3, just ordered IUDJ. Hopefully it doesn`t disappoint

Read this thread so you can understand this concept a little better

Regardless of who makes what and who relabels what, in my real world use, ONR is much better than the DP waterless, for example, so it can`t really be the same. Other brands, I can`t say as I`ve not used them all.

I`ve only used ONR v2, v3, and DP Rinseless.

DP Rinseless was very disappointing. Cleaned poorly but left a nice gloss.

ONR v2 was excellent in cleaning and gloss. DP had the edge in gloss. ONRv2 cleaned MUCH better though (after all, isn`t that the real requirement for a good car wash?)

Now that I`ve gone through half a gallon of ONRv3 I can`t imagine anyone improving on this evolved version. It cleans better than v2 by quite a bit, dries easier, and leaves a carnauba wax look that it deep, thick and slick to the touch. It definitely leaves decent protection behind because each wash is easier than the last, contaminants release easier, and beading improves. Best value too.

I meant DP Rinseless, not waterless, and you said "Most of these options are just relabels.", that`s why I asked for further clarification.

Well dampened towel with ONR, wipe down the headliner.

I think that`s the best part.

I just tried some Blackfire and it does leave a nice glossy surface. I have not used it enough to decide if I like it better than ONR but would use either without hesitation.

I have not tried Gary Dean`s product yet but it is on the list.

As for relabels, it is more than just same product with a different label. Most are tweaked to suit their needs (beyond scent, color). For example, Adam`s soap and detail spray were supposed clones of CG. I purchased both from both and did side by side. In both cases, I found they were not the same products despite similar color and scent. I am sure Gary Dean worked to have his products made to his custom specifications.
