My {limited} ONR Experience

[JaredPointer]

Thanks to a friend, I had the opportunity to try ONR yesterday evening as a QD. I mixed 2 ounces in with 32 ounces (8 ounces to 128 ounces is recommended per the instructions for making a QD) of water, and used it much as I would Poorboy's S&W. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It did a very good job of cleaning up the light dust I had on my truck. It felt every bit as slick as the S&W, and cleaned just as well. I'm not saying it will replace my S&W, but I think it is a very good alternative so far.

My experience is limited, as the title states. I hope to use it as a rinseless wash soon. I also received it for no "charge" so take the review for what it's worth.

As a background, I am a user of QEW who had no intention to try ONR as I thought QEW/ONR were interchangeable. I can get QEW down the street. QEW does get the job done. However, I did try making a QD out of QEW and was not pleased. Now that I have tried the ONR as a QD and was pleased at how well it worked, I am giddy at trying it out as a rinseless wash versus QEW.

I would write a little more formal review and maybe post some pics, but I just got out of 4 hours of CPA testing and I am mentally wiped.

Interesting read.....I did not even think about using ONR as detail spray.

I am looking forward to your comments as rinseless wash.

How did you fair on your Cpa test?

Kirk - I won't know until January!

Mike - Yes, that CPA. I no longer work in the public field (I'm a financial analyst for a government contractor nowdays), but it's a personal goal I've got set. I'm sure it will be a nice feather in my cap as well. I should have already gotten it, but I was pretty specialized in what I did in the public accounting field anyway, so they liked having me around.

I passed the first two parts I took. Took this one today and I have the final one the 28th. I am mentally worn out!

Not a CFA..... yet. The company will pay for it, but I can only do so much at one time! You're killing me already! :rofl

Yeah, accountants put in some long hours, and while the work isn't physically challenging, it is very tough mentally. And tax season is for the birds. I put in my few "years in the trenches" and have moved on. I have several friends who are still in it and plan on making the public arena their career, but I doubt I'll ever go back that way. I've kinda fallen into something good, and in the event I don't stay where I'm at I think I may do contract work after that. I've got a friend who does that that makes tons of loot and works about 15-20 hours a week.

Keep working on your degree. Accounting is a good field. It, along with computer science has been pretty good to me. :bigups

Just got a chance to use the ONR as a rinseless wash this evening. I felt that it did a nice job, however, compared to QEW I don't know that I could tell enough difference to warrant ordering the ONR when I can get QEW so easily. I won't make a judgement based on one use, so I will definitely give it another go in the future.

I am hoping tonight to start polishing my Tacoma, and hopefully by tomorrow evening sometime I will have the Tacoma finished with a new coat of Zaino. It will be my first experience with the "Z", so I will try and post up what I think about it as well. I am looking forward to it.

It is the way I feel about every rinseless wash that I have tried. It is hard to tell a difference between any of them. I have found that they all work.

Look forward to your thoughts on the Zaino.

Thanks for the review .
I have not tried ONR as a QD yet but love what it does when I do a rinseless wash.
I still will need to have the PB S&W since it has it own place and purpose and as you said it can not be replaced by ONR.

i have been using onr mixed with pp sg for some time now as a qd. i mix the onr per what the bottle says to for a qd then add in about 3 caps full of pp sg.
works really well for me...
