    ONR First Impressions

    Well my ONR came in today. Thank goodness because I have a car show tomorrow.
    If you live in an apartment ONR is a god send. The directions are pretty simple. Two capfuls of ONR for 2 gallons of water. I did my entire car and wheels/tires (last of course) with one bucket. Yeah I know I should use two buckets, but it's getting cold and dark right about now and I was feeling lazy.
    I'm very impressed with how simple it is to use ONR. I feel a little bit better using water when I'm washing my car when it's relatively dirty (we had rain and frost this week) as opposed to using the waterless wash. I'm not giving up my waterless wash anytime soon though.
    Thanks to all of the guys that posted how to videos. They did come in handy and helped influence me to buy the ONR.

    "wheels/tires (last of course)". Wheels/wheelwells and tires should be done first to avoid getting road grime and brake dust on your nice clean car, with a different sponge/mitt than you use on the painted surfaces of your vehicle and different wash water. Just my humble opinion. Oh, and you're right - ONR is great stuff!

    OH I did use a different mitt on the wheels and tires. I'm ready for spring so I can do another polish job.

    When using 2 buckets and ONR you are correct..But when only using one bucket would do it in the steps that LMGTO did - I will hit the wheels with my cleaner of choice and go about my onr wash and when done finish off the wheels taking care not to contaminate the paint.

    LMGTO: Welcome to the dark side...Muahahaha!!!

    FYI: I have yet to do an ONR wash on a filthy vehicle either and I am about to order my second gallon. Not because I don't think it can handle it but more because doing it with foam, suds, pressure washer and other tools seems more thorough.

    ONR is awesome, but ever since I got it I haven't used car soap as much since I can just ONR every week. I need to order another gallon soon.

    Perhaps its too early in the morning, but perhaps someone could explain the logic behind this. "Cleaning wheel surfaces first to avoid getting etc etc..."

    I always clean them last for this very reason?

    I clean my wheels and tire's first with a bucket dedicated for it and use two other buckets for the body of the car. The only thing I do hate about ONR, is my brush are harder to clean.
    Well .... lets just say that a new Ferrari 430 Spyder was delivered to me last week. In that week I would have drove it by all those previous girlfriends who said I would never make it
