Hello everyone , So this morning I wanted to try out both products which came in yesterday ( nothing like having a package from AG sitting at your front door,almost like Christmas ! ) I'm here in Georgia where we have major water restrictions going on right now ,Having two cars I used opt NR on one which the overall work really well in removing the dirt , also left a nice finish on paint ,even the black plastic looked richer in color . outside its about 49F degrees so working inside my garage was great. using a wash mitt working top to bottom , section at a time , half way I notice the mitt was starting to build up in grime and wasn't really rinsing out so I switch to MF towels one to wash ,one to semi dry and another one to polish, which worked out really well as soon as one started to look dirty I moved down the line of towels and so on all about 3 sets to complete with positive result with both products. My only comment in comparison was DP had a better smell (citrus scent ) and OPt a strong soapy scent inside a enclosed garage it became really noticeable . performance , they rivaled each other in cleaning , but I would probably lean toward DP next time , using their detailer recipe left a really nice slick finish on the cars.

another great way to use ONR or DP 4in1 is to load it up in a pesticide sprayer and do an initial mist down of the car...helps as a pre-rinse to get a bunch of initial dirt/dust off the car

Do you use the 2 bucket method to rinse out the mitt before you go to another panel? That way your mitt won't get so built up with grime :).

I haven't used the technique , before water restrictions I had a bucket and a foam gun but as a precaution I will . Thanks

No problem! A grit guard will help too :) I just grind the mitt against the grit guard on the bottom of the 2nd bucket to clean the mitt.
