    That’s what I was thinking maybe the beadmaker is breaking down the dirt, I live in nyc and most of my driving is highway but don’t live or work in any industrial place but who knows what left on the highway.

    Look at it this way.

    When you are using ONR, you are only applying product. Thus when you wipe dry, you are removing product and dirt/grime.

    For customer cars at work (auto repair, not detailing), I do still use it for miscellaneous interior trim/switchgear wipe downs, and I really like it for cleaning under hood plastics. Again, I’m not going full out detail crazy, but after performing repairs under hood I like for the customer to see that the car was cleaned with intention.

    I use it at home for cleaning floors.
    I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but do you have a towel around that ONR permanently stained? I just finished of my last gallon of it a couple days ago, and I can’t ever recall it actually staining any of my towels.

    They don’t seem to release the dirt very easily if i was to agitate it across a grit guard or with my fingers - other rinseless washes (wgurw, uww+, n914) seem to do better at that aspect. But since I mostly use the BRS, that’s not really a factor anymore. I find the only time I stain towels is when I use them for something like door jambs or wheels.

    Every time I use another rinseless wash I find myself gravitating back towards ONR and I honestly couldn’t tell you why. Maybe just because I think it smells the best of the ones I’ve used. I like the others, but I just always reach for that blue sweat potion.

    Since no one else is really having a problem that I’m having I guess I’ll have the car polished and then once I have a clean surface to work with try something from there thanks for the input fellas much appreciated

    You cannot expect pH neutral soaps to remove built up traffic film. Use something stronger. I use purple power boat vehicle wash for that purpose. (NOT the degreaser, that's a different product)

    When my truck gets really dirty, (including driving in rain) I will always wash with a regular car soap. Meg's HyperWash is great. One of the best cleaning soaps I have tried. JMO

    When it is just a little dirty, that's when I break out my Rinseless. I have ONR, and it's very good. I like Wolfgang Uber better though. JMO.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Yes I just picked up a bottle of that, will it take off any sealant or wax or anything like that ? Do you use it with your regular soap or stand alone ? Thanks

    It will strip old waxes / sealants.

    If you wash your car with it several times, I think it will remove the wax. I use it extremely diluted, though, about 2 oz in 2 gallons water. It will depend on how concentrated you use it. I'm still experimenting with it.

    I’m going to put it in my foam gun so I guess I’ll have to experiment also , but I use beadmaker as a drying agent so that will help add some protection afterwards

    ONR has stained the grout sponges that I used to use.
