Hi from Minnesota

Hi everyone, I've been a member for a while but I've been sitting in the wings reading posts and using the information that you provide to learn how to detail properly. Thanks for that.

I do have a question though: the other day I used ONR for the 1st time to wash both of my daily drivers in my heated garage. I thought everything was going well, I washed and dried a panel at a time but after I moved on to another couple of panels and looked back there was a haze or light film over everything I did.

On the 1st vehicle I used about 2 oz of ONR in 4 gallons of water & clean micro fiber towels. Then I thought maybe it's too much ONR so on the next vehicle I measured 1 oz in 2 gallons of water, more clean towels, same result.

Now the only thing I can think of, does ONR strip previous wax, sealant or whatever that may be creating this haze?

Has anyone experienced this before? I've done some searching on older posts but can't find anything like this mentioned before.

I can't answer your questions, but just wanted to say HI and WELCOME to the party.

Merry Christmas...

I didn' get any feed back on the question so I reposted it under the detailing section.

To Autogeek Online!!

Optimum No Rinse is designed not to strip wax.

I'd try a detail spray or waterless wash and see if it helps. Try rinsing with some clean warm water and see it it improves the situation.

You also could try mixing up some regular wash and do just one panel to compare.

Is it possible that some other contamination is present that Optimum No Rinse can't dissolve and that's what's remaining?

PS

2 ounces of Optimum No Rinse in 4 gallons of water = 1 ounces of Optimum No Rinse in 2 gallons of water.... Same dilution
