New DP Rinseless Wash and Gloss review

**ricka** · 04-26-2009, 06:29 PM

Meghan was kind enough to send me a bottle of the new product (formerly DP 4-1) to test out. Here are the findings compared to my beloved ONR. By the way I am a rinseless geek and haven't used a hose in over a year.

Concentration. Much improved over the former 4-1 chemistry. Only need half as much as before. Nice.

Lubricity. Again, a big improvement over the previous batch. Might even have more than ONR. Went smoothly over the paint with a grout sponge and easily rinsed out too. Nice clay lube too.

Washing ability. Worked wonderfully. Compared directly with ONR on typical soiled paint and cleaned just as nice. Also worked well on wiping down wheels.

Scent. MUCH BETTER than the kind of medicinal ONR. Smells like bubble gum. Good enough to drink

But don't.

Shine. As good as ONR. Leaves the paint equally slick.

All in all an excellent product and a worthy (maybe better?) competitor to the ONR. Boy I love competition.

Only disappointment is I didn't pull the trigger on their BOGO before it was taken off. ;(

Congrats--Autogeek and DP come up with a winner. I think you diehard ONR folks will be pleasantly surprised. And right now its on sale--about $5 less than the ONR 128 oz size. Good times.

Nice review Rick, thanks for sharing your info with us. I will say this again, DP line is the most under estimated line! This is one of my favorite lines to work with.

maybe it can come back to the BOGO? Meghan? Dear?

**ricka** · 04-28-2009, 11:13 AM

Boys you guys sure know how to talk a girl huh?!

I do not know if I can get it back this fast since it just went off, but I will talk with the big guy and see what we can do for the future.

DP works very well.

I also mixed up some as a QD, and mixed in a little OID for extra gloss. It did a great job as a QD.

Thanks!

I picked up two of them on the last BOGO and so far have only used it for Clay Lube (worked amazingly well for such a small amount of product used).

I'll have to try it out as a rinseless wash this weekend.
