I've seen that alot of the pros here use ONR, and that should be enough to convince me that the stuff is safe, but...
There just seems to be something really off here... You have a dirty vehicle. You know, dirty... dirt, the stuff that's really hard and loves to scratch the bejesus out of our clears and paints. And to remove this dirt you're just gonna soak an MF mitt in some magic juice in a bucket of water, then get after that dirt (think of the largest abrasives to never make it into a compound) with it?? Oh man, I just cringe at the thought. You know how the abrasives in our favorite compounds and polishes are "lubricated for extra working time"? That's the thought that comes to mind.... here we have a raw abrasive. Dry. Sitting pretty on our paint/clear coat. We call it dirt. Then along comes this microfiber mitt, soaked in ONR, which makes it all nice and lubricated. We then smash this mitt against the paint (trapping the abrasive under it), then we lubricate it with ONR (for extra working time) while we take it for a ride on the paint before we deposit it in the bucket of water (if it doesn't get stuck in the mitt), where it runs the potential of hitchhiking along for another ride accross the paint (even grit gaurds only reduce some of this risk). Honestly, it sounds like a cave man's polishing job... "Grog make paint pretty and swirly"
Do the magic lubricators in ONR really lubricate so well that they are able to completely nullify the abrasive qualities of dirt? That seems a feat nothing short of magic!
Don't get me wrong here, I really, really want to trust the stuff enough to use it in the winter time on my cars, but wow, it honestly seems "too good to be true".
As I said, seeing the pros on here using it does help alot, but still.. Is everyone really happy with this stuff??
One of the members here was at my house last week. He brought along some ONR, and generously offered me some. I thanked him for his offer, and said no. I just can't bring myself to use this stuff. To me, it sounds like a Tunnel Wash In A Bottle.
Looking for people's experiences (good and bad) with ONR and ONR type products. I know I'm hanging myself out as flamebait here, but if there's a good winter wash method to be had here (as well as an instruction session from the pros), it's worth getting a bit singed for.
