Well with the increasing talk of ONR around here I decided to try it. I also got tired of racing versus the sun to prevent waterspots. Well even though its midnight... with my hectic schedule its really the only time that I get to myself so I washed my car in the garage At first I was thinking how can this possibly not swirl or marr the paint by rubbing all this dirt into the paint. As soon as my lowes proline grout sponge hit the paint you can see the dirt flowing off with the water. I also have 2 coats of CG 5050 so it glided across easily. The 2 gallons lasted JUST enough for the car and wheels. I literally used the solution till it was gone. Afterwards I did a wipedown with some Z6 to make sure I didnt miss any water. Took me about 30 minutes in total. Itll definately be in my lineup now that "winter" is here. 50 degrees is cold for us floridians

 

awesome right up. nothing like cleaning the car - i don't care what time it is. u wake up in the AM and go out and see ur beauty and it makes u feel good. that CG 50/50 is supposed to b some really nice stuff i hear.

oh... and about the temp. ha. very funny u folks down south are....

i'll b picking up my ONR and a few other goodies pretty soon from detailersdomain it looks like. waiting to see what type of sales various places online are going to have, but it's hard to beat the speedy service and discounts i'v always recieved from dd

 

Im very new to this proper cleaning and only just now found this section of the forum.

welcome to the wackiest forum on the board-

and just a quick note to invite you to post up pics of your clean car (in a new thread)- then pm me with the link and a note asking to be badged and i will knight you as the newest wacko!!
in the meantime, we look forward to your questions and to helping you become one of us (wackos)-

 

You are both

 

Can you wash a dirty car with this?, we got some snow and the roads were filthy. My wife's lexus is now dirty and it is to cold to hand wash. If so, i need to get some from Phil asap.

 

Jay, if you can just give it a quick rinse off with the garden hose to get the major dirt off. Pull it in the gargae, then use the ONR. Use the 2BM with a sponge like the one Phil sells. You'll be golden after that!!

It's worth every penny in my opinion. And I just tried it for the 1st time last week.

 

Thanks Roger, how about the automatic spray wands with just water or are they to hard on the paint. It is protected with Wolfgang and Souvergn.

 

you mean the coin-op DIY car wash? Just for a quick rinse-off you should be fine. Just don't hold it in one spot too long
