ONR doesn't remove swirl marks. You need a buffer and polish.



And yes, it is worth 40 dollars per gallon.

i know it doesn't remove swirls i just wanted to stop adding them after i get them taken out
 
ONR will stop you from having swirls, your process sounds like it needs to be revised. I don't care what you spend on wash product, if your process and media are not in check, you will always end up getting swirls again and again..period.

You should evaluate your was technique first. Make sure you are using the two bucket method with a media that doesn't create swirls, and quality microfiber towels. You shouldn't have to use much pressure at all.

what washing and drying are appropriate techniques just blot dry and not much pressure on the wash mit ? or can u provide me with a good technique? and im sorry to be bugging you with my dumb questions
 
I use the ONR 2 bucket method (2 wool wash mitts and grit guards). Search YouTube for ONR videos/techniques (I mist each panel with a .5 oz ONR to 24 oz. water ratio spray prior to washing). I detailed my Carbon Black over the Memorial Day weekend and have ONR'd it twice since then and not a swirl. I wouldn't use it when a full wash is needed, but for clean ups after a few drives in the rain and heavy dusting it works great.



I wish I had purchased the gallon rather than the 32oz bottle.
 
I have a black car and don't use ONR to clean it. I got swirls once when I used it. Even after using the two bucket method(Both very clean) and 3 clean mf chennile mitts and the right dilution ratio in the wash bucket and using pre rinse method with the garden sprayer.
 
jibnayman...the key to not adding swirls while washing is your technique. What wash you use (regular with water, or "rinseless") isn't really germaine (within argument...some argue they can't wash swirlessly with ONR as jesselyons noted above).



Go here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/autopia-learning-library/ and you can look at the "Guide to Detailing" which has a car wash section, and also under "Detailing Articles and Videos" you can find Accumulator's non-marring wash technique.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned it but you can also use ONR for clay lube and a qd.

i made a total of 4 bottles of QD strength and another 4 bottles of LUBe strength using distilled water and ONR



ONR is worth every penny. i have two jugs of it on my shelves (=
 
I dipped my toe in ONR usage by adding 1 oz. to my traditional wash bucket for the added lubricity and still do when I haul out the PW and hoses. However, I'm really impressed w/ ONR when removing dust and bugs from the drivers. Living here in the swamps and driving pre-dawn hours, I now ONR the front of my car every other day to remove the bugs that I used to just let sit until the next traditional wash. What a time saver; it takes about 5 mins. to do the front end and I don't have to worry about etching any more!



I haven't used it yet after running through the rain. Maybe one day.........
