Onr

Re: Onr

I don't understand this, if the dust is light enough that a california duster will work, why wash? California dusters only take off the lightest of dust (basically just dust that has settled on the vehicle, as opposed to dirt that has been stuck on the car from daily driving.

I am thinking to use the California Duster to remove the tiny rocks or sand first so the ONR wash would not incur scratches.

I would think that if you have tiny rocks or sand on your paint, a California Duster would cause swirls anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I think the CD is an awesome product - just for dust though.

Re: Onr

What is the purpose of ONR? Is it just to save time, or save water, or what?
I would never use that stuff, and I am nowhere as fanatical about my vehicle, as some folks on here who do use it.

Re: Onr

ONR is a rinseless wash. It has a lot of polymers that attach to the dirt on your car and that's what keeps your car from getting swirled or scratched while using it.

If you have rocks and sand stuck to your car, the california duster probably won't remove them, if you are using it correctly. Now if you are rubbing the duster against the car it probably will, but that's not how you use it, and you will scratch the paint.

If I have rocks and sand stuck to my car, I pressure wash it first (with no soap, just the rinse) to get everything loose off. After that I'll ONR the car.

Yes to the above.

ONR certainly is a time-saver, as it eliminates the need unroll and roll up the hose, eliminates the need to hose down the car, etc. All one needs to do is to fix up a batch of ONR and wash and dry the car. I find this particularly helpful when I just want to give my car a quick rinse after a rain shower.

ONR certainly saves water, thus making it possible for people to wash their cars at home in water-restricted areas.

ONR makes washing one's car at home possible during the winter months. I can give my car an ONR rinse in my garage, which while ain't heated is usually a lot warmer than it is outside.

The stuff works.

I have just purchased the DP Rinse-less as I didn't realize that ONR was the product of choice here. I assume they are similar in application. I plan to use it in the garage during the winter, but was curious as to how much water it leaves on the garage floor?

As much ... or as little ... as you want.

Dip your wash mit in the bucket of wash water/solution and wring it out some. Then wash a section like half of the hood and immediately dry that section. You can wash your car and get almost no water on the floor.

Re: Onr

I have no clue how you took only 20 minutes...

By doing it often enough.

Exactly.

I can easily wash and dry my entire car in 15 minutes with a rinse-less wash method - but the key is to do it at least once a week and keep the car well waxed.

I like to follow up my rinse-less wash with either UQW or UQD every time, and it gives it extra shine and protection, and then next time I wash it everything comes off that much easier, and dries that much quicker.

Regular maintenance and waxing is the key to quick and easy washes for sure.

Re: Onr

Just curious - does this ONR deplete your wax coating, more than say one of Meguiar's traditional car washes?

Been using ONR (along with M62 and Gold Class) for past 2 years and have not noticed any accelerated depletion of my LSP.
