RL paint / finish

Just used some of the NoRinse on my other car and found it to be as good as everyone says.

Then went to give it a try on the RL in the garage. The stuff (in water) just sheets off the RL hood. I don't think the RL has ever been waxed but it's finish is incredible. I bought it used about 3 years ago, low miles. Probably spent its life in the garage or something. I was going to clay bar it and give it a good wax but decided to save my energy for the other car.

Head over to any detailing forum and you will find nothing but rave reviews for Optimum No-Rinse (ONR). I use it all the time.

That stuff is only useful if used as a suppository.

Is this stuff like dry-wash? With Driwash, you spray it on a DIRTY car and rub it and wipe it off and you get a clean, waxed car. it works, but I always washed the car first.

pretty much like it I suppose, except you have to do your own diluting
but it makes on claim for a 'wax' feature

op, not trying to jack your thread, but since we are talking about the rl paint. i was wondering if anyone knows why the 1st generation rl's paint almost always looks better and shiner than the 2nd?
