How many of you use ONR or Blackfire Rinseless to wash your Acura or Honda? If so does it add swirls? I was reading reviews on Autopia and one person was saying it can actually make more swirls and marks on the paint. I know the honda paint is soft but didnt think ONR or a Rinseless if used properly would hurt.

This is a $80,000 + show car and the black is flawless and all that is ever used is ONR ..



This truck is $100,000+ and all that has been used for the last 2 years is ONR.






ONR used with poor wash media , crap towels or on a car thats way too dirty can prolly swirl.

I use it on ine all the time when I'm on the road.

Have you tried the Griot's Garage Car Wash Spray? I like it better than ONR.

i use ONR on all of the "soft" honda paint at my house. no marring, no swirls, two bucket wash after a quick hose rinse if the car is really yucky. technique...it's all technique....and quality MF.

I have used ONR twice so far and like it. Will continue to used it.

Hey Jesstzn, so none of those cars has even gotten a wax/sealant treatment? They look so shiny just with ONR.

I've used it multiple times...there's still something gratifying about soaking the car and the suds of a traditional soap sometimes, but I've opted for ONR when I'm short on time MANY times already.

Sure they have ... I have detailed both of them .. both are done with Megs #21.

When I said "all" thats been used I was refering to washing method.

You're buffing out all the swirls then, Jess!
lol...either way, the product is absolutely amazing...nothing but praise from this ex non believer.

Jesstzn

Both these rigs were buffed out ( as little as either needed to make them perfect ) since then all they have seen is ONR for washing. The car .. 1 year of washing .. the truck .. 2 years. Neither have any swirling at all from the ONR. I taught the owners how to di it right. One correction tho .. the truck was sealed with 4* UPP not #21.


They weren't washed with ONR then buffed out after ..

I use ONR on my NHBP acura paint. will continue to use it.

Im ocd about my paint too, was polished 3 years ago, and still looks good today.

Was just busting your proverbial ballz, my friend. They look great and I have nothing but good to say about ONR.

One more question to add.

My rear end is always very rough with soots coming out from the exhaust. I run a tune that's a little rich these days, so it's pretty bad.

Is it okay for me to use ONR on those very rough/dirty surfaces?

Jesstzn

Exhaust shouldn't be rough ... soot is pretty fine ...

Do you have to scrub to get the roughness off?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Never done it myself. Didn't wash my car for about 10 months and got detailed by our fellow local member.

It just looks pretty rough to me. haha Glad to hear that it should be pretty soft.

mY sLOW UA6

^ You should be ok with ONR but if the soot is tough to get off then I think a traditional wash would be better

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Don't they sell some cool sort of vinyl protectant that you could put on your bumper surrounding the exhaust opening, or maybe something carbon fiber?! To keep it from coming out on your car?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

I think the main problem is that I don't wash the very often.. haha once every 2 months, maybe?

I mean if ONR works well, I could probably do it much frequently though.

I don't run that rich. haha I need to wash my car more often!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Oh, it works...and it's so painless, you'll do that ish once a week cause the work vs reward is that much better. You can have the outside of your car and wheels done and clean and dry in 15 minutes. That is not an exaggeration. Since you dry while you wash, it's DONE when you're DONE. It's really awesome.

Jesstzn

Not for you then...

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

He probably would if it was easier...

Jesstzn

What .. washing the car? Hell I'm 67 and don't find it a chore at all ..

nj2pa2nc

love washing my tsx-
for those that use ONR-do you have to dry off the car. Have hard water so it is a must when I wash my car.

Jesstzn

Its great for hard water areas ... as you wash a panel .. dry the panel.

when i was young, i lived at home, so it was super easy to wash my car. pull out the car out of the garage and do it.

nowadays, i live in a condo with my wife. to wash my car, i have to drive about 10 minutes to get to one of those POS coin self-wash station crap.

full time work + full time graduate school give me no spare time..

^^^ONR is meant for you, bud...trust me.

Jess...you're an inspiration.

McCollins23

Lately I have been washing the whole car with ONR and Blow drying with my Metro Sidekick and then going back over with a QD and drying towel. I highly recommend the Metro or any blower/dryer for that matter to get water out of crevices that cant be picked up by a towel.

^ thats basically what my routine is. takes about 45 minutes to finish for me. I always finish with a quick detailer (poor boy's spray-and-wipe) wipe down even when using other soaps like meguiers Gold Class.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

^^^the purists say that you'll kick up dirt/dust and put it back on the car before going back over it with a towel, but with the ground wet, I disagree and use it too!

Great tip!
The main thing I love with the ONR is that although you must work fast, you can do the ONR in the sun.

Oh Ok just curious. Was amazed how shiny that came out

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Just placed an order of ONR.

I should get those grit guards huh?

Jesstzn

Or just make them like I did.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

what is that in the bucket

Jesstzn

Its an egg crate defuser from a 2 x 4' flouresent fixture. Cheap at Lowes etc.

Single layer works fin but you can double it up too.

Congrats Aaron!

I bought my grit guard for like 8 bucks, but if its cheaper to make one from Lowes, i wouldn't mind going that route

I'm lazy.... it was just easier to order one

nj2pa2nc

Thanks- will continúe washing my cars the old fashion way. Water hose bucket of water with car wash and wax mix, microfiber towels and quick detailer.

^^ONR totally cuts the wash time down. really easy to use. and you save water! it's been a while since i did the soap wash....

nj2pa2nc

Since I enjoy washing the cars I do not mind the time it takes to do it. While having the hose unrolled I also water the plants. Enjoy being outside. Now That pollen season is over I wash the cars less. Did wash it yesterday-my avator picture.

nj2pa2nc

I have a big supply of car wash products. Maybe i will get onr for when I am at my mom's in nj. No hoses there and it is a p.i.a. to turn the water on in order to use one.

I also have a full time career and full time grad school, I understand the time issue. I used both the onr and Blackfire Rinseless. This is great for a study break. It will take you 20 minutes to do the whole car. I live in a condo too, mix blackfire and 2 gallons of water, toss 4 plush microfibers in the bucket, do the dirtiest area first then start top to bottom. I don't put the first microfiber back in the bucket.

Both of our cars were washed with a rinseless, my wifes car with ONR and my TSX with Blackfire Rinseless.
