    keeping your car clean

    i dont want to have to wash it every time it gets lightly dirty but sometimes it gets dirty quickly and i dont feel safe using a qd on it cause i dont want it to scratch or mar at all...and i feel like ONR would be the same?

    Re: keeping your car clean

    As long as your smart about it, QD and ONR will not cause problems.

    Mike P. has a write up on this subject, search and you will find it.

    Basically don't use either product if you have caked on mud/dirt. If it's a lite dust level ie might blow off in the wind type dirt QD and ONR will work fine.

    Search and you will see this topic has been covered several times (search things like QD ONR)

    Re: keeping your car clean

    ONR is alot more lubricated than traditional quick detailers. It is used very often on very dirty cars especially in areas with water restrictions and professional settings.

    I would try to schedule a wash weekly or every two weeks as possible. I would not personally try to spot clean (unless using ONR) between wash sessions.

    I never used lambswool with ONR, I find that a good thick/soft MF towel or mitt is preferred. (to me anyhoo)

    I use my Meguiars Lambswool mitt for ONR washes. It's nice and soft and hasn't caused any marring.

    Maybe some other lambswool mitts will, but I'm happy with the Meguiars one.

    If you feel your car is too dirty to wash with ONR, then blast it with the hose outside, then bring it inside and wash with ONR as it should remove anything to heavy for ONR to clean. If it doesn't come off with the hose, ONR can probablly handle it.

    Using a lambswool mitt to do an ONR wash is one thing, QDing with onr is another. Like Scott said I would perfer a MF towel to QD and yet I like a sheepskin to wash with.

    Oops, I misread what he meant about ONR, I though he was talking about washing with ONR and QDing with a QD. I agree that if QDing, a nice plush MF is the only way to go

    Its pretty clear that when washing you can use whatever you'd like even lambswool with no harm. I prefer MF but thats a personal choice, experiment and find what you like best.
