I highly recommend this option. Silicone free, that's my major requirement, and it works great.

Thanks for all the help.....Now I know some of you really like ONR instead of washing...Do you think that it would be better to just do an ONR instead of QD? Can you get the ONR done pretty quickly?

Also, if I decide to do ONR, would it be good to do a spray wax after to maintain or just reapply souveran every couple weeks or so?

Again thanks for all the help

No, use the ONR as the quick detailer using a different dilution ratio.

Also, no, I just use ONR + P21S bodywork conditioning shampoo because of ONR's water softening ability. Great combination.

I personally would ONR the car instead of QDing it. I have completely cut out QDing my car EXCEPT if its right right after a wash for gloss or to get a bird bomb off.

There's just too much room for marring to occur. Keep in mind, my car is a DD that is not kept in a garage so more than just dust accumulates over the course of a day.

QDing a car used to take me quite a while since I wanted to be extra careful. It was probably in the 20-30 minute range. Now a thorough ONR wash will take me about 50 minutes at the most but usually about 35-40 minutes. This includes tires, wheels wells, windows in and out. When I QDed it was only the paint and exterior glass.

As you can see it will take slightly longer to ONR wash it but I believe the benefits of it far out weight the downside of taking slightly longer.

Its more thorough, and there's far less chance of marring.

I just let my car get a little dirty until I can ONR it again.

If I want to add gloss after a wash and I'm using a nuba as an lsp ill hit it with some OCW. If its a sealant ill use either FK425 or OID. Hope that helps.

Bingo, that's exactly how I try to deal with the situation. I've seen too many people screw up their paint with QD, even though they're far from being rough with the paint at all.

ONR is great!

I also like PB DQ+ and Spray and Gloss...

DODO Red Mist is an extreme high gloss product bordering on a synthetic oil. The durabilty is not that great. But a quick mist and nothing is shinier.
