We used some Sonax Multistar to lift any extra dirt just as a precaution before ONR was used.

Interesting choice of products.
Heard nothing but good things about Sonax and Menzerna.

Wonder why these brands havent caught on in the North American market, when compared to stuff like CG, Meguiars, Mothers etc...

Great work as always. I am shipping my car from Hawaii to New York and will be visiting your shop around March for paint correction and the film application.
