Question 1

What are the instructions for use? Do you just spray it on with a spray bottle and let it sit/air dry?

Accepted Answer

Here's what most pros do.
1.  Mix 2 cap-fulls of product in 2 gallons of water
2.  Soak several micro-fiber towels or The Big Red Sponge or a good quality micro fiber wash mitt
3.  Get a clean/empty spray bottle and fill it with your bucket of correctly mixed product
4.  Work from the top down, spray a coating on one area/panel at a time (ie half the top, half the hood, front door, etc.)
5. Wipe that area with your towel/sponge - use very light pressure as the ONR has polymers to effectively lift off and encapsulate the dirt while providing a lubricant.
6. Now dry that same area with a dry micro fiber towel.  The ONR will leave leave behind a light protective coating to help make this even easier for the following wash.
7. Repeat on other panels

This is so easy to use.  I find myself using it instead of conventional washes even when water is plentiful.  Also, a little goes a long way.  Measure 2 gallons on your bucket and that is more than enough to do a standard car (plus fill your spray bottle).

I often will just use the spray bottle to do quick detailing our touch-ups.  I use it you remove minor dust or a bird dropping.  This is great stuff!  Good luck and have fun!

Question 2

Does this product remove wax each time you use it? Does it have detergent properties or does it leave a light coat of wax or polymer?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't have "detergents" like one thinks of. It's hard to explain, but it has polymers in it that "encapsulate"dirt particles so they don't scratch when wiped off. It does not remove wax, nor does it leave anything behind. I am kind of picky about how I treat my paint. I have used this product I three ways:1- as labeled- a "no-rinse" wash (works well when vehicle is only superficially dirty/dusty).2- as a more traditional "wash & rinse" for regular car wash. Very gentile but does an excellent job, even for very dirty vehicles. 3- diluted according to directions as a spray detailer. Again, great product.

Question 3

I live in socal (severe drought) if I were to use this, how many washes should I be able to do with a 32 oz bottle of ONR? I have a '14 genesis coupe.

Accepted Answer

Meh, don't listen to any of them! Good, but narrow advice. Look up the "Garry Dean Wash Method". I use a 5-gallon bucket filled with 4 gallons of water, 2 oz of solution, and a ton of microfiber towels. I can get 10 or more washes out of each bucket using this method. Which means, a 32 oz bottle should last you 160 car washes. If you washed your car weekly, that would be 3 years per bottle. Or, get 32 washes like these guys.

Question 4

would you say this is the best all around and economical product to use as a quick detail spray and clay lube concentrate?

Accepted Answer

I've never clay lubed my vehicle, so, I can't say on that. I use mine in the garage during the winter. I spray first then wet a towel with the mixture and slowly wipe any grime off. For what I use it for it works. I like to keep my car clean but I don't go much farther then the average clean job. I don't full detail my car very often. Ultimately, I can't fully answer your questions, but I like the product. You only need a little per gallon. It's economical and gets the job done on winter grime. Hope that helps.
