Hey all, I finally did a real ONR wash on my truck on Monday. I am not sure what to think. I have had this bottle of ONR for like two years. I have just used it for clay lube pretty much... It' not blue anymore, it's now brown. So I wonder if it has lost it's effectiveness. Anyhow, I lost some...

Disclaimer... I don't use any of their stuff. But anyhow. I don't understand how a company such as this does what they are. such as offering a seemingly non user error type product......Turtlewax Ice... That seems like a really good option for people who just want to keep their car shiny but...

I finally had a mini restoration like bike detail today. I know I don't have a lot of comparison pics to look at, but the first two are definately that. If I can take more pics of the afters that match my befores, I will post them tomorrow or the next day... Am I the only one who gets to do...

I normally charge 90.00 for a softail or other smaller bike that is a non "bagger" That's OK for me, and I do good work, so it gets me business, compared to the local dealer charging 120.00 for basically just washing the bike. Anyhow, earlier in the week, I got a call from a guy who got my name...

I worked on this car part of the day Sat, and all day Sunday. It was my first detail on a car other than my own. It was more for practice than anything. All work was done in the full sun, and I will never ever do that again. Aside from being a PITA because my polish wanted to dry up, and the wax...

What can you tell me about this machine? I was thinking of getting one to replace my PC. I will be using it for motorcycles. It seems smaller, and I liked that it does not have the metal spindle guard/cover, which is always in my way and easy to bump into things in the tight spaces on bikes. I...

what a shame...too bad it didn't turn out differently washingtonpost.com

Wednesday, I went with a friend to finalize the paperwork on a used car she bought Monday, and the dealer was to replace the pass. side mirror as it was broken. The car is "only" an '04 Cavalier but it is in excellent shape. I was only able to find four small defects on the whole car. So anyway...

For those of you that use ONR on bikes, I am wondering how you do the engine? Scottwax I know you have mentioned using ONR on Harleys, Probably 90% Of Harleys have flat black engine finish, and I have been wondering how you do the engines with ONR. I see some seriously dirty engines and could...

I need suggestions for a more agressive polish to that I can finish up with Optimum Compound and polish. It is for badly scuffed black paint on a harley. They are not deep scratches, just many many rub marks from having a tank chap on the bike. Would like to find something local, I need it by...

Sorry for the lack of pics, but wanted to show my first attempt with the PC on a bike. I am very pleased with the correction I achieved... Used Optimum Compound and Polish with 4" pads, EXP, and Pig Snot for a topper. (Don't laugh, it works OK and I have a full bottle to use till I get some...

A friend asked me to help him clean up the plastic fairings on his Kawasaki Ninja. It appears to be molded in black and not painted. Is OP safe to use on this with a PC? Any other suggestions? I was thinking Plexus or Novus if no on can tell me the OP is safe to use. I know that some of you use...

Hi everyone. I was hoping someone could answer a couple questions for me. I am trying to attach some pics also, hope it works. I was able to use ScratchX to remove some micromarring, swirls/scratches on the tank of my Harley. I would say they are 99% gone. No one else would probably notice what...
