Noob question on beading & water spots

[CleanIT]

Sorry for a side tangent from your original post -

I will say I like regular ONR at work. I'm a wrench, not a detailer, but I use it for cleaning switch gear/plain plastic on dashes - it really serves to melt off people funk from turn signal/wiper stalks without removing the white dye. I also use it for cleaning up underhood plastics after major repairs - leaves it looking fresh and cleaned, but not greasy.

I love ONR Wash and Wax for interior wood trim.

I never had luck like some do with using ONR as a glass cleaner - any time I'd use it for glass you would have these "ghost" patches when the glass was wet. You wouldn't see them dry, but I always worried that it would come back if there was any fog on the glass. A regular glass cleaner cuts those spots out no problem and I sleep much better knowing the glass is for sure clean.

I also use regular ONR at home for cleaning our hard floors (wood, linoleum, laminate, tile). Works great there.

Griot's has been my go to for I-just-want-this-to-work. It's fun to experiment, but nice to have your fallback.

I really like ONR and Griot's RW. I felt Griot's was a bit less streaky and had better lubrication.

I agree 100%. ONR kind of takes some practice to "dial it in".

Have you tried WG Uber? That is a great product. High lubricity, and you don't have to be "spot-on" with your dilution ratios, IMO.

I haven't but have heard good things about Uber. I'll have to try it. ONR was tricky to get down.

The new formula ONR blows away the previous. Almost no streaks, smears or ghosting. When I use it, it almost will flash off like Opti-Seal and Duragloss Aquawax, where the previous formula required some thchnique.

DLC - is that the Opticoat version or a new iteration on the classic blue Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine?

Just to clarify. I think my gallon was listed as new and improved when I got it, but you never know when it was actually updated.

It was disclosed in the early spring if I'm not mistaken.
