1st time w/ONR,NOT impressed

well im sure to some degree that it boils down to user error,that i dont argue with.what would you have done in this situation?all i can see is to grab a hose and rinse the dirt off before i start which kinda defeats the purpous of a "no rinse"wash.i did use a QD with 1 capfull in a 32oz spray bottle altho i didnt use it on that,just the bottom of the doors,sideskirts,ect.it didnt seem to do much tho.all i see are good results from the clik and brag sec. so could it bee the sheepskin?ive never used one before then.i usually use a Meg chenille mitt.i dont want to be a party pooper so ill give it another go with my chenille mitt and see what happens.
 
on a sidenote,scottwax,from what ive read you use a lot of the jeffswerkstatt stuff right?i was thinking of getting the AJT but was wondering if the Carnauba jett could be used over that so i wouldnt have to mess with a paste?i already have some OCW but im not sure if that as durable as the C. jett.
 
socommatthews,



Think about the procedure and you can fine tune your process. ONR has limitations. There is a certain level of dirt/soiling that is simply too much for the solution. But within those limits, you can move & tune the process as well.



Sheepskin is definitely recommended, because a high pile/nap mitt is more gentle and it is able to hide dirt particles between its fibers better. A dense, thick mitt can absorb & lift more water to the soiled area, which means more active ingredients to clean and more water to carry the dirt away. Using a relatively thin mitt or towel may reduce the overall effectivity of the process.



My recommendation: Mix up different strength ONR samples. Experience how these dilutions behave on your finish. Feel how the mitt glides over the surface. That would provide a nice comparative base for your mind/hand how the ONR should feel when you working with it. Next, try it on a lightly dirty car. Use the standard solution on it. Lift plenty of water from your bucket to the area you want to clean. The dilution of the ONR solution is correct when you see that the polymers are breaking up the water film immediately, and the mitt glides well, because the surface is slick. If you are unsatisfied with the slickness level, use more ONR.



I live in Hungary, and we have older cars which polluting more; spitting out a stubborn, disgusting fog. The resulting road film is very reluctant to remove and I have to use stronger mixes than the original, recommended one. I had to find the proper amounts and methods, but the results are well worth it.

I seen one post on here were someone sprayed the bottom of a door with ONR/water and you could see the dirt melting away.that was def not the case for me.i sprayed the bottom of the door and it did nothing.just dried to more waterspots.

That sounds like you're referring to my pic in my QEW writeup. Although I was using a mixture of QEW/S&G/Water, not ONR, it should work in a similar fashion. I think your problem was the sunshine and 80*F temp. And you also may have used too little solution. You should have the mitt as wet as possible.
