There is a lot of OPT talk going on . I've been playing more and more with ONR this winter trying different techniques of washing. Been kinda fun and get nice results.



One of my questions is why people don't consider this as an LSP or I should say very few use it as an LSP ?? Granted I know there are alot of other things out there , some better , some worse , some just hype . It states good durability , do you fell it's not or do you feel the shine is not up to par with other products ??



OFF TOPIC A LITTLE : What do you think gives a better look and durability Megs #21 or OCW ?? Yes I know the are apples/oranges , just wondered your thoughts.



Thank you

Mike
 
Ive used ocw as my lsp on my own car. OCW is one of the slickest and best looking waxes ive used. The only thing is, i cant attest to its durability since i just reapply it almost every wash since its so damn easy.
 
I agree with the above post. It takes me 5 minutes to go over the car with OCW after a wash. The look is great, slickness is good, beading is okay, sheeting is okay. If you have Optimum Instant Detailer top OCW with it for even better slickness and gloss!

I consider it as an LSP. :nixweiss Very nice look and decent durability, but most notably is it's ease of use. Sometimes I also use it to remove residue after Poli-Seal and it's great for that.
 
I think the main reason people dont consider it an lsp is due to the fact that its a spray on wax and typically in the past, spray ons have only been used as toppers or boosters. I think with the new wave of spray on wowo products though that waxes like OCW will be considered more of an lsp than a booster wax
 
LSP= last step product. So yeah, a lot of people consider it, and use it as a "Last step product." However, many people prefer a more substantial product as a base, prior to reaching for the OCW.



Maybe it is that people are "old school" in their thinking, or maybe it makes sense. The stuff is basically thin as water... I personally feel a lot better having a paste or thicker liquid down first. I think it comes down to personal taste.
 
I have only used OCW v2 but really like it. As I am a bit OTT with my LSPs I always have some form of base under it, like OOS, and then just keep it topped up with OCW. It definitely adds a decent extra wetness to the base product IMHO and its hard to beat the ease of use, except of course with OOS :)
 
So maybe the base you talking about is OPS would be a good aio ? Then top with OCW ? I have a base coat of DG 105 with 2 ONR washes and 1 coat of OCW , and 425 wipe down after . It does look good .



I have played with 3 ONR type washing experiments .



Experiment 1. Since it's winter and road salt / sand is everywhere . Here is what I did. Sometimes I am forced to go to the touchless wash ( 2 min from my house ) I have a QT spray bottle of ONR mixed up at wash strength. I sprayed down the vehicle and factory clearcoated rims in my heated garage , then drove to the touchless to see how it would do compared to the normal touchless wash when the truck is full of road salt , I mean really caked white flakes of it. So call it a "presoak" before wash. It came out much much better than the regular times.



Experiment 2. Bought a 2 gallon pump sprayer (Hudson) nice product by the way. So with my garage heated , but the truck has salt and sand/grit on it. I fill my pump sprayer with warm/hot water , rinse off all the salt flakes , sand/grit ...ect. Proceeded to do the single (2.5 gallon) bucket wash with a microfiber and grit guard . Gently did one panel at a time and dried (need better drying towels) the water was dirty , but not black as well was the microfiber towel. Come out great.



Experiment 3. I used the QT spray bottle and did spray the truck ( it was dirty but not the normal heavy salt/sand mix ) as it was "presoaking" I started on 1 panel at a time like usual BUT..... only used a bucket of warm/hot water with NO ONR in it . Also looked excellent after it was done .



All 3 times came out nice , I did not notice and marring on the vehicle and I'm sure it was a money saver and a fun experiment for me.



So I'm kinda getting a kick out of doing this . Pretty cool stuff .



What else should I buy in my next order , I have the int. leather protection (the should change it from saying leather on the bottle) I have OTS , OPS , ONR , OCW , What else id good for look and durability ?? I've been using the ONR as a QD , whats your thought's on that compared to buying OID ??



I like using complete product lines for the most part , because in my empty mind I feel its a better with using all the compatible product line. ( most of the time ) .



Does anyone know what the polymer to wax blend ratio is in OCW v2 ??



Thanks for reading my ongoing babble :)

Any suggestions or thoughts welcomed .
 
ONR is a good Qd for a quick wipe down of overnight dust etc but for extra slickness and shine it doesn`t nor expected to come close to OID which is a top notch second to none Qd.

The diluteable concentrate is the best value and makes it a bit of a bargain buy:xyxthumbs
