I'd really like to try onr as a wash but I just can't get over using typical methods. Maybe I'd feel more comfortable using on at car that only got slightly dirty or dusty. At least it does work great as a QD

Try it on something you are not worried about to get the feel and see how it works like your mower or wash some CD's (CD test CD!! .
Yes, after all the preaching about lubricity and suds and suds, rinseless washes do not feel "slick" like a soap nor do they create suds that gave the impressive of slickness and cleaning ability.

possibly the best detailing product ever created :2thumbs:
No Rinse Wash and Shine
So basicaly, all this is is a some sort of soap/cleaner that you run over with a wash mit and dry the rest of left over liqud with a drying towel? I dont understand whats so special about it, am I missing the point? I can see that it saves a lot of time but how is this not harmfull to the paint and guarantee that it wont cause swirls or any other imperfections on the car?
I have a nice evening car that i drive a couple times a week and I simply grab some QD and a nice MF and go to town? Educate me.

You`ve answered your own question, thats whats special about it
Ok just finished reading this thread and half of the ONR defanitive, so let me get this straight, correct me if im wrong.
Use a two bucket system. One with ONR in it and the other for rinsing out the contaminents in before dipping it in the first bucket with the ONR solution. All you need is a nice wash mit and a MF drying towel.
Going by the method above, am I using the product correctly?

I would like to thank everyone for all the information about ONR. I have been using the tradition bucket and soap method. Recently, I moved to a home with a well and I have been exploring waterless methods such as Wet Paint Glaze and Freedom Waterless wash. My car is over 2 years old, and to my surprise, the waterless products have yet to give me any swirls at all.
Today, I took the plunge and got some ONR on Amazon for $35. I'm looking forward to seeing the results after using this product. After all the positive feedback I see, I doubt I will be disappointed.

Just like in this video:
YouTube - Washing a Cayenne with ONR
I've always just used the one bucket method but a lot of people like to use two buckets.

IMO, you are more likely to cause marring while drying than you are during washing. It's *extremely* important that you get *everything* off of your paint during the wash, and *before* (wow, I'm using a lot of stars today
) you go over your vehicle with a drying towel. Get everything off of the paint with an ONR soaked wash media of your choice, then carefully dry it using as little pressure as possible. If you use de-ionized or distilled water to mix up your ONR, you really don't even need to dry it.Striker said:
If you QD your car when its dirty (by dirty I mean, even one drive to and from the market for example), than you have nothing to lose by using ONR.
Like scottwax I too only use one bucket. If the bucket gets too dirty just dump it out and fill it up again.

This is very true. Your drying towel should look like new when your finished. There shouldn't be any dirt on it. The biggest tip I can give is to take your time. Do not rush. Don't be afraid to make multiple passes. Its not necessary to try and remove everything in one swipe.
