No I haven't, I've just always done it the traditional way. I will certainly give it a try.

I don't want to speak for him, but he hasn't been found of it in past posts.

I use ONR on light to moderate dirt on my car and it does work very well, but I wouldn't recommend it for heavy soiled surfaces.

The process goes very fast and I take a slight variation to the process and do a two bucket version rinsing the dirt out between panels. This works well since I only use it on a lightly soiled car.

There are many who insist you can use it on a dirtier car but my personal technique is to not try it on my Camaros.

I agree...this is for people like myself that keep up with thier car. If you don not wash often, then you need a flooded procedure (hose) But for me - in a condo complex - who washes weekly, it is a great way to do things. In two years both my '13 accord and my wife's 328 do not have a single imperfection on them using this method. Every time I touch the car it is with a new loaded towel so no dirt gets put back in the solution. And at the end, the remainder is poured into a jerry can to use as clay lube or another wash next time.

Coming out of the winter in the northeast with a dirty car, you'd be crazy to do this....but to be "down " on it, is shortsighted for many.

Now the one I won't do is the waterless products, these are different in that a dry MF touches your paint with a slight spray, like a QD. I don't like them either. They both microscratch, IMO. Either lots of water in a rinseless, or flooded procedure for me. In fact if I have a hose, a foam gun is attached.

Like the D101 I haven't been able to find this stuff at Auto Zone, Walmart, or the local Murray's auto parts store. Where did you find it?

why does everyone have an aversion to buying from a detailing house and have to have it local?

Never will understand that, you don't buy that often....


good stuff is not local...(usually)
autogeek.net
autopia.com

autogeek.net
autopia.com
and autoality.com for small items, over $25 under 5lbs ships free.

P.S. autopia-carcare.com

But I agree, it's near impossible to find products in store unless you live near an actual car detailing store. (except some megs/mothers products, etc...)

I always try to buy locally first, why wouldn't you want to try to support your local businesses?
