Anyone ever used ONR?

I finally got my hands on a gallon jug of this stuff (Optimum No-Rinse Wash). I'll be washing the truck with it sometime soon and might post up a review of it. I think it will be perfect for busy weeks.

Anyone ever used it?

Never heard of it! Let us know how well it works!

Will do. From what I've heard it's a great substitute for the 2-bucket wash for people that don't have time to do all the prep work every week.

It's specifically formulated to lift the dirt off the surface of the vehicle so that when you wipe it dry with a towel the dirt particles don't scratch the paint. All that's needed is a bucket with 2 gallons of water, 1 oz of ONR, a wash mitt, and a microfiber towel (or more) for drying. This stuff will go a long way if you only need 1 oz per wash. That puts it at 128 washes for forty bucks.

Subscribing ....I've been wondering the same thing

Sounds interesting as I have never used the 2 bucket method.

Yeah, I used the stuff a few years ago with the YD. I tried it a few times and it does work rather well as a QD, but I wouldn't use it with a very dirty truck. Not unless you like swirl marks. In other words, I didn't see any magical properties that lifted the dirt off of the paint or anything.

For a dirty truck you really need a somewhat high pressure wash to safely get the dirt off the truck before anything even touches the paint (including a wash mit).

Oh definitely not using it on a really dirty truck. Just washing off what accumulates from normal driving in a week for me, which isn't very heavy.

I guess the way to put it is that it's supposed to have more lubricity than normal car wash soap?

Going to give this thing a shot tomorrow if all goes well.

 

[Carolinaboy]

cool keep us posted. Y'all got tomorrow off too?

Yep but we have a group meeting for one of my classes. Sooo I'm taking the morning off from work and getting some other stuff done around the house. One of them will be this if time allows.
