If that's the case, I would switch to UWW+ when you run out.

UWW+, like ONR, has a myriad of uses.

I actually just did a review of UWW+ vs Blackfire Interior Cleaner on coated leather. The results might shock you It'll be up as soon as Youtube finishes uploading ~40 minutes left lol!

Just used mine today. I like the ease of use. Way faster than clay, even faster than Ultima Elastrosponge. I like that I can "hear" the smoothness. I rinsed after each panel after multiple flips. Is this correct, or do you just rinse if you drop? Seemed like a smart thing to do. Also breaking in on glass was fine seeing as the glass needed to be decon'ed too...

I'm glad you liked it, I was ecstatic when I first tried it. It is an absolutely wonderful product

You should absolutely rinse after a panel Remember, if it is picking up decontamination on the panel, then it is on the towel, and you can slide the decontamination back across the paint if you don't get rid of it. I would say what you did was very smart indeed

It says that no where in the instructions. It just seemed logical, instead of kneading clay, rinsing the prep towel out instead. I rinsed with warm water with some Optimum car wash soap in a bucket and wrung it out. Realize after it says in the directions to use plain water. Am I affecting the longevity of the towel by using a little soap?

I can not speak 100% definitively on this, but I can give you my opinion.

I think car wash soap would be fine as lots of people actually use that as clay lube. I think the manufacturer must of known that would happen and planned for it.

However, it specifically says not to use detergent like dawn soap. If it specifically says not to use it, I would steer clear of that.

As for the directions, you're right I don't see that in the instructions. But I think the best thing to do is wash after every panel. Better safe than sorry for sure!
