ONR vs Detailer's Pro Series Rinseless Wash & Gloss

I use ONR & waterless. I use the waterless procedure on my car when it has a "dusting" of dirt & ONR on cars when there's a little more dirt. The waterless procedure will use quite a few microfiber towels while the ONR will use a sponge and a couple of microfiber drying towels. I prefer ONR.
 
Thanks SATracker, but I was refering to their 'rinseless' wash not the 'waterless' one.



It's Detailer's Pro ONR equivalent. Have you tried that too?
 
I have used the prior version of DP Rinseless (not the even earlier DP 4 n 1 product) and it was equivalent to ONR. It had the same dilution with a bubble gum scent but then I have not used the new ONR either since I still have plenty of ONR as well (just finished up the DP).
 
I think it is very similar to ONR. I loved the smell of the old ONR but since that is gone I really dont care about the smell of the two. Performance wise I cant really tell a difference so go for the one that is cheapest. Just fyi I picked up 2 gallons of DP (BOGO):xyxthumbs
 
Good to hear you took advantage of the BOGO deal. :D



Does the DP collect the dirt on the wash medium and not release it like ONR?

It did for me but I started using a two bucket method (both with ONR/DP) and using at least 2 mf mitts (1/4-in length fibers, switch half way) and I really do not see it like I had in the past. The two bucket does help since it does keep the 1st bucket solution cleaner.
 
For me the Opti ONR leaves the glass streak free. Sometimes with the DP stuff I would end up with a few streaks n' such. Not like it's a big deal because I'll go over it with a good glass cleaner. I think they are both great products and would scoop some DP up if it's a value buy.
 
I've used the DP product, although not this newest version, for some time now. It's a good clay lube and decent economy QD. Never had any problems with it and if it's a special value now, I'd say go with it.
 
just boughtsome on the BOGO offer. I will see how it works. I wish 3D sold something like this. They are right downthe street from me....no shipping
 
Thanks for all your replies. :up



I may get some on BOGO...just the glass streaking issue concerns me. ONR, on the other hand, leaves the glass looking great.

When you guys use these products as a QD, do you dilute the solution at all?

"Quick Detailer - Add 2 – 3 ounces of DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss to 32 ounces of water. Pour this mixture into a clean spray bottle. Mist the paint surface and wipe with a clean, soft microfiber towel to rejuvenate the shine and remove fingerprints and dust. The remaining mixture can be saved for use at a later time. Shake the bottle well before using the quick detailer again."

The proprietary polymers bond to the paint surface to protect it from abrasion and micro-marring as you clean. The incredible formula leaves your vehicle extremely slick and glossy, like you just applied wax!"

I have bought and used the DP Rinseless. It works very well, but I noticed something that shows it's a bit different to ONR. The wash medium doesn't get as dirty with DP. In other words, ONR traps the dirt to the MF more aggressively than DP. I'm not sure what that means. :nixweiss



Does it not clean as well? Does it release dirt better? What do you think?

I think it implies that ONR has greater film strength. this could indicate that it lubes better. If DP steaks, then that means that it is leaving dirt behind, as in not holding onto it as well. I conclude that ONR cleans better.

There are a lot of assumptions here. I could buy the ring theory.The rest I am not sure. I have used various waterless washes and some are more difficult to dry than others but cannot pinpoint what advantage or disadvantage. I would have guessed streaking would be more gloss enhancing abilities.
 
UPDATE



I've just finished my first quart of DP Rinseless and have gone back to ONR to compare. ONR hands-down the better product by quite a margin.



Reasons:

1) ONR leaves glass streak-free. DPR, not always.

2) ONR has MUCH more lubricity. With DPR the MF felt slightly grabby against the paint, even when soaking wet. ONR felt *oily* and slippery and slid over the paint effortlessly. It felt like it hovered over the paint without any friction.

3) ONR cleans MUCH better than DPR. Not even close. Dried bird-bombs and insect remains just melted away with a couple of gentle passes. I had to scrub when using DPR, and even then it wouldn't work well.



I initially speculated that DPR might be a private labelled version of ONR, but after using both, no way. I have three bottles of DPR left and I don't want to use them anymore. The only plus for DPR is that it leaves the paint a bit glossier than ONR, and that's it.

The results of my experiences supports the logic and conclusions of this statement. :up
