Onr

I knew what that car was as soon as it started loading and I could see the top of the trunk ;) pretty risky putting a pic with dirt on your car! haha I see it's winter in that pic so we'll let is slide :)

We have the same care, year and everything



Good deal, I like how seamless it is, did you do it or have it done, what head unit do you have? did you change any of the other speakers.



I had them install the sub inside where the cd changer or first aid is supposed to go. The cover actually does cover it, so it's completely out of site. I don't have a changer either, just a sony HU which I like a lot, no speaker replacements.



I can post a link to my speaker mods if you like.
 
Yo Steve-



I was thiking the same thing when I posted the pic. We had sooo much snow last year. I did do the install myself. I have a Kenwood Excelon deck, stock Monsoon speakers and the sub tied in. I would be interested in seeing what you have done for speakers. Is it posted on CB5?
 
That is a awsome install. You have sound and room in the trunk i wish i could say the same i just have a big sub no room:mad:
 
Steve-



I remember seeing that on CB5. It made me think about mine. What does the back of the box look like? I'm thinking about reshaping mine to set it further back without losing the cubic foot.
 
Thanks! I had it done :D



the back of the box? the original CD changer shelf thingy was gutted out and I believed they built it out of wood and fiberglass. This place is competiton so they know their stuff pretty good. I'm thinking about having them do the other side (after an exhaust and maybe wheels of course) ;)
 
Steve-

Where in OH are you? My best friend lives in Huron and he is a B5er as well.



I took the whole shelf out and the carpet with it. I made the box to fit and then used a longer board for the face to house the speaker and the amp(flush mount)
 
B5er in cleveland? haha I know there's one from cb5 in cleveland heights he used to live in florida (what's his name? hmm)



i'm about 45 minutes east of cleveland. I go there a lot but huron's closer to sandusky about 1.5 to 2 hours away form Cleveland (I think).



But duh! you'll be coming from the east :) so you'll probably drive right by me. i'm 30 minutes south of 90 and north of 80 Painesville exit or Hiram/Ravenna exit for 80.
 
Tried ONR for the 1st time. It says 1 oz. per 2 gallons of water. Does the water get soapy at all? Mine didn't. I can't say I was overly impressed with it. Would much prefer a regular wash. Did I do something wrong? I can see using it more in winter for a quick wash to get the salt brine off but would prefer to do a regular wash in the summer months.
 
No, it doesn't suds up. I mix up about 3 gallons and 2 ounces of ONR.

I love it for quick, in between washes. Its a little less tedious than a full wash and dry with hose, 2 buckets, 3 to 4 MF drying towels etc. I do still use the 2 bucket method for ONR washes though but I usually only need 1 WW MF towel with ONR. I also love ONR for removing polish dust after a buff session that may have produced a lot of dust. Again, it's quick.

I usually have a bucket mixed up in the garage and keep a lid on it. Even after 2 cars it's still pretty clean on top of my Grit Guard.
 
What Puckman said!

Some people prefer a conventional soapy bucket wash...

But lets say you only want to spend 10 minutes on the wash and dry cycle.

By the time you get out the hose, bucket, carwash soap, wash mitt, fill the bucket...............you've already spent 10 minutes and you haven't even wet down the car yet!

I like ONR because it's all about speed. I can wash and dry a family sedan in 10 minutes flat... Corvette..... less!

I love it just because of my fairly hectic (retirement) schedule! LOL!

It also leaves a very nice slick finish on the paint, much like you have just QD'd after a wash... there's another 10 minutes saved...

But........to each his own. A conventional sudsy bucket wash is definitely a great way to clean your car. But if you're looking for luxurious suds with ONR, your barking up the wrong tree... (haha)!:D
 
Tried ONR first time tonight. Lot of pollen in the air my black car was yellow so I wanted to do a quick wash. Tomorrow will be hectic lots of family over. It was great. Very quick. About 15 minutes 1 WW and 1 MF for the whole car. Mustang Conv. Did it in the garage. Slick finish after use. Needed very little touch up with the QD. I don't think it will replace my big washes but the in between washes and the winter washes it will be great. I would imagine those hot summer days it would be great to because the car aways seems to dry to quick with the water wash. This doing one panel and wiping down will probally be better on those hot days also. I only bought a quart to try it. I will be ordering the gallon next order.

I still cannot do it that fast. I did two vehicles yesterday.

How many times do you dip/rinse the mitt out during the process? Do you dry it at the end?

I did a quick count and I guess I have my car done in 15+ sections and this is working in 1/2 (roof, hood, trunk, front, back, windshield, doors).

If the temps are above freezing and below 75 degrees, I wash the entire vehicle, then dry. The ONR usually won't dry within the time it takes to wash it.

I re-dip/rinse about 14 times for a normal car:

1. Half top/glass
2. Half hood/front bumper
3. Half front fender/door
4. Half rear finder/door
5. Half trunk/rear bumper
6-10 Repeat for other side
11-14 Wheels/tires

Dry, 3-5 minutes

This is if the car is really dirty. If it's just a little soiled, dust, roadsplash, I don't rinse quite as often.

Each step takes less than 30 seconds. (I do everything fast... I'm a little hyper!:rofl:
:out:)

I couldn't agree more.

My work schedule has recently chanced, and I am a baseball coach for my youngest son, and take my oldest son to his games and practices, so my time these days is very limited.

I did an ONR wash this morning, before we have to to my mother's for her birthday, and it it just flat out saves a lot of time. Because it took so little time to wash the car, it gave me more time to wax the wheels, spray wax, etc.

I absolutely love ONR.

Also, when doing a full detail, it is a great way to save time. We all know how long it takes to do a full detail, so anything that can save on time is a BIG plus in my book.
