I'm still needing to get some on order. He posted a nice review/process to its use just recently. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm currently using the Optimum over the QEW that was in my origional post. though I really have no preference between the two. I buy whichever one I can get my hands on the cheapest when i'm ordering as they're both outstanding products. I'm with Todd here...not sure how I'd wash my vehicle without them in the winter.

street pilot Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 ONR is amazing stuff in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSick06 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Are you guys using the ONR on dark vehicles? I heard the troubles come with the darker colors with creating swirls and marks. My SS is black and i know how hard it is to keep looking good because it shows EVERYTHING thats why i ask. Seems to be a good product though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My SS is black and i know how hard it is to keep looking good because it shows EVERYTHING thats why i ask. Seems to be a good product though Yes. My black Audi is washed exclusively with ONR or similar products in the winter. You need to be very attentive to proper technique. I personally wipe one direction with my wash sponge / mit flip it over, wipe the other direction and then go straight to the rinse bucket with that mit to wash it out. What willl cause issues is if you're working in a heavily soil'd areas without frequently washing out your mit or sponge. I also put some of the wash solution in a spray bottle and pre-spray each pannel prior to washing them I don't use alot here, about a 12oz bottle of liquid per car. Despite the manufacturers claiming this doesn't need to be done I do it for peace of mind. Also a soft porus sponge or log nap Sheepskin or Lambswool mit are best to use with these products as it's got surface area or pockets to pull the dirt into as you're wiping along rather than wiping it into the surface of the paint. Also: If the car / truck is heavily soiled spend $1.50 and go to a quarter car wash and pressure wash the heavily soiled areas first to knock off any of the big chunks. From there you should be good.
