ONR Time Efficient?

After looking into ONR I was just wondering if someone could tell me the time it takes to wash the car with ONR compared to traditional methods..?



I’m just thinking efficiency and money, but also trying to find the best route without taking away from quality.



Kind of new to posting thanks for your help everyone. I love absorbing the knowledge from this website.
 
I feel it's much more efficient than regular washing , not to mention economical , much quicker , excellent shine to boot. Also being able to mix it at different strengths for different purposes.

Agree +1 .............
 
You will be totally amazed by this product with repeat usage. Just pull the trigger and buy a gallon NOW! I find I am so much faster washing with ONR than doing a conventional wash. You will wonder how the stuff could work so well when you first mix it up, but don't be discouraged. You will be a convert like the rest of us after a few times. You will find out how economical it can be when you realize how many expensive products it can replace. I find it to be an essential product in my mobile business, and use it every day.

Couldn't have said it better!
 
I also ordered some to try it; but man, I'm scarred sh1tless. I just doesn't seem like it should work, even though I know it does :scared:
 
Am I the only one that has used it and still not really "wowed"?



I mean, sure, if you're in an area with no running water available or you're in a hurry to just clean the car quick, fine, its a great product for that.



Or with water restrictions









But NOTHING can replace the cleanliness of a pressurewasher, bucket of soapy water, and a wash mitt.



I can't stand cleaning a car without cleaning the wheelwells, even if I'm just doing a 15 minute wash I still pressurewash the wheelwells. And underside. And what about getting dusty dirt out from crevasses? License plate frames, taillight seams, fuel door gaps, doorglass rubber, all those places trap and hold dirt which can only really be removed by spraying with a hose or pressure-washing.



I dunno, I've used it a dozen or 2 times now and I just don't feel as happy with the vehicle after I'm done washing with ONR...









Also, doorjambs should be pressurewashed, have fun going through MF after MF cleaning doorjambs...



And then there are WHEELS. Clean or Dirty they will look better after spraying wheel cleaner, scrubbing, pressurewashing clean... Can't do that with ONR.



ONR has its uses, but it is NOT a 'replacement' IMHO.

I still get scared before I use it. Everytime.

Have you seen Scottwax's youtube videos of ONR wheel cleaning?

Use a pressure washer to rinse, then ONR. That's my plan - my main reason for wanting to try ONR is because my water is SUPER hard and minzeralized. I can't wash the car and dry it without every single panel being stained with water and requiring a waxing after every wash. :heelclick
 
I don't know why but it still takes me at least 45 minutes to wash a car with ONR. I'm just slow.



Takes me just a bit longer the traditional way, but not by much. I do save a lot of water and feel better about the environment using ONR though.
 
Inclusive of being fussy with wheels and tires it takes me an hour to do a full Sienna Van. That saves me at least 30 minutes over the conventional wash plus I save time not pulling out the hose and putting it away.
 
I was skeptical about it at first, but now I don't even think twice in using ONR, or DP wash and gloss. From start to finish it takes me 15-20 mins for body and wheels. This includes drying time as well.



If I were to do a regular wash on my black car in the sun, it would take much longer. Then I would have to worry about water spots.



Note: The 15-20 mins is taking into account the car isn't very dirty (dust, and clean up from light rain). If there's mud or heavy dirt I always use the regular wash method. This could take quite a while depending on how dirty it is.
 
I can have my car done in 15 minutes with ONR. About an hour the regular way.



If I do it every weekend (which I can with ONR), then I have found ZERO difference between a ONR wash and a hose wash, except the added time and effort.



As for my wheels - I tested something yesterday with how well ONR cleans them. Since I wash every week or two, I don't have any embedded dust. But I do get copious amounts of dust with these Brembos. After about 3 days, you can tell the difference between the front and rears. A spray of ONR, hit it with my mitt, and wiped it down. Clean as can be. No cleaners required. I don't rinse before hand. Door jambs? No issues.



I have absolutely no reason to doubt this product any more. It is my go-to wash for all seasons unless I don't get a chance to wash in awhile. I even washed my sister's car, that hasn't been washed in a dog's age, and it cleaned fine.
 
The wheels, wheel wells, door jams, various other jams, etc worry be about ONR style washing. basically the only reason I would use it is to prevent water spots, as regular washing leaves it near impossible to wash a car (in the sun) and dry it off before water spots set in.
 
I'm with Stumpy on this one.



ONR has it's place, but it's just not a replacement for a regular wash.



For me, it takes longer, because I'm extra slow and careful with it. I also have to do several passes to get the car clean because I'm using such light pressure. And, as mentioned, ONR can't hold a candle to a traditional wash when it comes to wheels, door jamps, and other crevices.



I've seen some of Scott's videos and I understand the technique. however, both of the videos that I saw (black cayanne, and white jeep), had vehicles that weren't what I would call *very* dirty. Nor did they show the cars under any kind of discriminiting lighting. I would love to see that black cayenne under bright lighting after a corrective polishing job, then see it again after an ONR wash a few weeks later.



I'm not trying to start a flame war here. I'm not saying that Scott is dishonest in any way. I'm just saying that from where I sit, the videos don't prove anything.



And finally, to the dude who plans to use a pressure washer in conjunction with an ONR wash....I have to ask....WHY? I think you're missing the whole point of ONR.
