    LSP or black and darker color cars.

    I'm having a hard time getting my LSP's to not smear when trying to remove them. I've tried many different things, but still get smears. What could I be doing wrong? Too much product? Not allowing to setup long enough? Thanks for any suggestions.

    ONR issue

    I've been using ONR a lot lately since I'm back to working solo w/ no help. It makes a lot easier to wash and dry the car since it's all in one step. I usually do at least 4 to 5 ONR wash a day, but yesterday I noticed I was getting some film or streaks left on the glass. What could be...
