Thursday was a great New England late winter day--sunny and in the mid forties so naturally it’s a day to wash the car. This was not my first time using ONR, but was the wash I was apprehensive about--car hadn’t been washed in two weeks with three trips up north to ski. The bottom third was covered with road salt and sand. I mixed up 2 gallons of water with 2 OZ of ONR for the wash bucket, a bucket of plain rinse water and 2 gallons of water with 1 OZ of ONR for the garden sprayer. Pre soaked all the sandy/salty areas as I went along and 30 minutes later the car was as clean as a full hose wash. I looked in the sun and with a halogen and couldn’t find a scratch or swirl mark anywhere. For those of you in snow country who have been reticent about trying ONR it doesn’t mare the finish even with heavy sand/salt-a great product.
Just as I finished the postman delivered my bottles of new formula OCW and new OID so I couldn’t resist giving them a try. I had applied a coat each of ZAIO, Z-CS and Z2 Pro just before Thanksgiving and the finish was in great shape, but would have added a coat of Z2 at this point. One coat of OCW-15 minutes--an hour later a coat of OID--10 minutes.
I’ve been a Zaino user for the past five years and have always been more than pleased with the shine, slickness and durability. Only switching to Optimum products to save a few bucks and a little time (once you retire you don’t have much free time with all the Golf, Skiing and Honey Do’s). The results were nothing short of incredible -- I’ve never seen such shine and slickness with any of the Zaino products. Even my wife commented on the shine and she considers a car much the same as a toaster. The OCW is supposed to last up to 5 months (time will tell), but who cares when it only takes 15 minutes to do the whole car. I can’t wait until my ZAIO and Z-CS run out so I can move to PoliSeal and OptiSeal.
