    optimum no rinse/lost color

    Hey guys i just got a gallon of onr to try out a few months ago and love the stuff. well i got tired of mixing a spray bottle at QD dilution so i went ahead and mixed 5 gallons of it so i can just pump more in a spray bottle when low. well today while cleaning up the trailer for next week i noticed the onr in the 5 gallon bucket is now clear (no longer blue) just wondering if the sun took the color out (being that its right next to the trailer door). And if its still usable. Anyone else have this happen

    Did the bucket contain anything before the ONR?

    Corey,

    The batch I mixed did the same thing but I didn't notice any degradation in its performance.

    Mine went from a nice opaque blue solution to nearly clear... the spray bottle was a brand new one from Autogeek

    I actually followed their dilution recommendation for making detail spray and even "it" became transparent.

    I'm curious to hear what others have experienced....

    No, not at all. I keep mine in a shed with the rest of my products.

    I do agree that if left in direct sunlight it would certainly impact its clarity and color.

    Sounds like a question for Chris over on the Optimum forum if he doesn't see it here first.
