Of course it's on my own car. I'm simply amazed what I was able to achieve. It felt like a long time, but only took about an hour or so and much cleaner than all that soap and stuff. Here are some before pictures. The car is pretty clean already so it's tough to tell, but there'll be a few where you can really see the differences.

Just started on the process. Only did the hood and the front right fender.

Entire right side is completed.

Upper panels done. Now I have the lower panels left. You can see the diff. there

Here's a bucket of the dirty water and a clean bucket of ONR. See the difference?

Now a true test, polished lip wheels. This is the back one and it had the most brake dust so let's see what happens.

Oh and btw the infamous Grout Sponge that's highly recommended by Spoiledman :)

Overall I'm pretty happy with ONR. My car is due for a detail in due time so I thougth I'd give it a shot before I do a detail. I didn't have a light on hand, but I might pick an LED/Halogen lamp pretty soon just to show the difference or to see if there's marring that were induced from the process. Stay tune cause I'll probably do the same for the family Land Rover as well, but it's due for a detail so it has swirls already...I might even do a full write-up :)



P.S. I know I need to get some metal valve caps to match it, but for the time being I'll settle for those.
 
Very cool write up.



I just spent 5 minutes on Griot Garages website, looking for that sponge, only to realise you wrote GROUT not GRIOTS :) hehe



Also, a great looking Beemer. The rims look excellent against the river deep red paint.
 
Nice ride.



ONR is a fabulous product. I feel it's one of those revolutionary products that have/will change detailing forever; for me at least. Glad you like it!

SpoiledMan are you sure that the grout sponge isn't inducing marring everytime I've used one they seem like they trap dirt and are very rough.

You definitely have to give it a shot to see for yourself! If you don't feel comfortable definitely see if there's someone local that can show ya!
 
Fantastic post the car looks great. I use ONR nearly 100% of the time now. I don't know why it works only that it does. After I started using it the cars I cleaned consistently looked better. If I didn't have complete confidence in ONR there would be no reason for me to keep using it. This past winter I especially loved using ONR. A couple of bucket heaters heated my water and my hands appreciated it.
