Hose Free EcoWash vs ONR?

[fellipe]

I'm interested in the Chemical Guys Rinseless Hose Free EcoWash for my production/wholesale mobile car wash business as its approximately half the cost of the ONR, since it can be diluted 2x more.

How does it compare to the ONR?

I cannot speak for ONR, but will be placing my order this weekend to try it out.

I can speak for HFEW and besides the suds it produces, I think it's great. Have tried samples of Blackfire and Pinnacle rinseless, and I very much prefer CG HFEW. It leaves behind a good, clean surface and gives a great gloss and finish.

UWW+ is another option

Prolly a better option. I like that, Pinnacle, Duragloss, or even ONR. I tried CG's Eco Wash and did not care for it. That was my last adventure into their hose free products.

Really, anything from AG/PBMG in this category is very good. Just bite the bullet and buy a gallon - cost per wash is negligible. Duragloss is very good as well.

In my experience they work the same. The CG has more gloss I would say. The major difference for me is when the temperature drops, CG leaves a white residue where ONR does not.

This is the first time I've seen this term. Is this a new term for rinseless wash or just what some companies call their rinseless product

[fellipe]

yeah, it's cg's marketing term for Rinseless Washing

Why?

UWW+ is another option

+1 - especially if doing this as a business. UWW+ is the least expensive and can be used as waterless / rinseless / clay lube / quick detailer combo. Removes the need to carry more products saving weight/gas and money.

I've stuck up for CG's in the past - but don't think I'll be buying anymore of their products.

The final straw is the copy from CG's copy for their Sticky Wheel Cleaner Gel (from CG's website):

"The pH neutral formula was specifically developed to work safely and effectively on virtually every wheel finish so you can use it with confidence, even on high end after market wheels."

The same statement is on AG. They may want to consider taking it down.

I stuck a pH strip in this product and it was quite basic ~ pH 11 if I recall correctly. So, the "pH neutral" statement is not correct. In fact, its a lie. I'm sure AG is just going CG's copy - so I don't plane them.

This wheel cleaner may not be safe for all finishes.

Its hard to trust anything CG's says - so I'm staying away.
