    Finally picked up some ONR after reading so many reviews on here. I was decently impressed, didnt really seem to clean as well as the traditional soap/hose method but it was great since my hose is frozen solid.

    The car was TERRIBLE. its been snowing here in Pittsburgh all week so I had lots of salt/grime all over. And i commute home every weekend back to southern MD so i also picked all the crud on the way back as well.

    I DID have to go to the local cash wash to use their pressure washer to get a majority of the dirt and grime off but it was still quite filthy afterward.

    2 buckets, one with just warm water the other with 3 gallons of water mixed with approx. 3oz of ONR.
    Plush MF towel.

    Sorry no during pics, just some crappy cell phone pics, it was like 28 degrees so I just wanted to hurry up lol.

    At the gas station before using the pressure washer, told you it was bad.

    After! (car did have a coat of Powerlock and a coat of 845 applied last weekend)

  2. It will take a couple of times to get it down but once you do it is actually faster than traditional and looks just waxed. Give it another go or two and see if you don't like it more. When I first started using it I had mediocre results because I was only making a single pass over the panels. Now I do the panel, flip my media, and go over it again if needed, then dry and I'm always happy.

    I use ONR all winter long. Uninsulated garage, but have a 165000btu torpedo heater to keep it at about 50* F.

    I was doubtful about ONR at first when I heard about it as well...but I picked me up some and was extremely impressed with the results! We have an insulated heated garage that I heat to about 55 degrees, and then I can go out and wash my car without freezing :thumb: It's been the only thing I've used to wash my car in the past three months.

    That's the nice thing about ONR. No drainage system needed.
