^, When it`s the winter, I also notice some streaking, but the overall look after I clean the car using ONR is way better than it was originally.
I`ll live with streakin during the winter months.

Did anyone has tried Magic Spray and wipe? I use the stuff now over a year. It`s from Australia, no chemicals, all natural. The website is carmagic.com.au
I use it with 1 bucket of water, a chamois, and a terry cloth. Works also great on the wheels to remove the break dust, and the interior.
I used ONR for the first time yesterday and was very happy with the results on my 06 Lexus. The bottom half of the car was very dirty and my MF wash mitt was filthy when I finished even though I used a two bucket method. What concentration of ONR is used if you mist the car first as a pre-wash step to soften and loosen the dirt ? Also, do you use a quart bottle sprayer or a gallon garden sprayer to mist?
When I did my prewash, I mixed the ONR in a large bucket (5 gallopn bucket) and then filled the sprayer from that. It worked for me but YMMV
I have used ONR twice now.
The wash mitt picks up dirt great but it will not rinse clean even a rinse bucket. Is this normal? The only way I can clean them is with Dawn.

Do you pre rinse your car before using ONR with sprayer?

Your mitt not releasing dirt is natural when using ONR. Just wash it out with with soap after you`re done.
ricka - I have both ONR and 4-1. I like ONR better because it requires only 1oz. to 2 gallons. 4-1 requires 1oz. to 1 gallon. Might not seem like a big deal, but it`s 50% less with ONR. ONR is also eco-friendly (the chemicals of ONR). Not sure if 4-1 is. I really believe in Optimum as a whole so I trust their products more than others. I personally like the smell of ONR better.

My bottle of ONR arrived today. If it ever stops raining here I`m going to go get two buckets and some MF towels and clean my car.

I just ordered the big bottle of ONR since I`m OCD about my car and I live in apts. but what is the proper method of using this. I was planning on the 2 bucket method, but you don`t have to do any pre-rinse do you? You just put the soap in one bucket, clean water in another and dry a panel at a time right?

I`ve stopped using the 2-bucket method. I just use one bucket with no grit guard. I`ve not had any problems with marring the paint or scratching. The dirt settles to the bottom and I use enough water that I`m not even close to putting my wash mitt on the bottom of the bucket.

Me too...just keep enough water in the bucket for dirt separation settling on the bottom.
