You might wanna try a OPT waterless and UItra ceramic seal combo next time. I bet it will give more gloss.

How does this cleaner compare to the old Carpet & fabric cleaner & protectant? I am asking how does it compare on fabric, carpets and cloth seats?

In its discription on the opticoat.com page it says and I quote "Foaming solution shows you it’s working" Is that true? Does it foam and why? I know Larry Kossila has a waterless product that foams...I think he once said its to add lubrication or something like that. So why does the OPT waterless foam?

I need to try this test for myself...I dont know why I havent done it yet 🤔

I use 2 different types of wash media, first I use a sponge afterwards a MF wash mitt. A sponge I use first to get rid of the heavy dirt, most often on the lower parts of the car like leaves and mudd for example. The sponge easily releases dirt from itself so it gets clean again, but Ive noticed that a sponge doesnt remove ALL dirt so thats where a MF wash mitt comes into play which removes fine dust particles still left on the paint. So basically I wash my car twice in one go but for a cleaner finish before I dry. So maybe thats why HotTuna uses 3 different wash media...or he is just testing out which one works best for him. Dont know

Unfortunatelly not...I dont own a pad washer so I just changed pads every now and then (4 or 5 altogether in total).

Well FYI I managed to wash the car, clay it and polish it after probably god knows how long....ONR wash, clay and then I tried 3D Speed but soon switched to OPT GPS coz its way quicker to get around the car with it...I cant praise it enough...GPS removes like 60% of swirls in 1 pass on a CG hex green or even white pad and vanishes into paint so there is very little wipe off needed. Wiped off and sealed with opti seal. The car is once again shinny and clean looking. Love it! Temps were high at around 10 deg C or around 50 F if that means something to somebody. Take care

ONR suds up if you add ONR in a bucket and then pour water inside. Suds quickly diminish afterwards. Suds may also be a result of previous leftover soaps you might have had in the bucket before. No biggy though. Btw...what was that DIY rinseless mixture you mentioned about?

No you dont...A ONR damp towel wipe following a dry towel wipe will clean the interiour just nicely. Ron just wanted to say he uses either one or the other. ONR on its own will clean a lot while leaving a nice factory finish. It will struggle with dirt/mudd spots sometimes. For those you spray some all purpose cleaner.

I know it doesnt damage anything...I was just joking out of people who believe that ONR can damage anything 😉

Looks like Ron doesnt care about swirling out his leather / vynil and plastics like some forum posters are....lol...I am being silly

Ron meant you use a seperate and CLEAN mf ONR dampened towel...lol...😜 Besides you dont wipe off a dirty car because you clean the car with ONR and a sponge / mitt or whatever...the car should already be clean before you go on and dry it with a mf towel.

Show-off 😜

Just FYI...Ive switched to P&S Absolute lately...not because I wanted to but because I cant get ahold of OPT stuff in my country anymore and I have to use alternatives now... Now just my opinion (not to influence anyone) I miss ONR...Absolute isnt nearly as good as ONR...It doesnt mix well with water, its not potent enough, it doesnt smell pleasant (personal thing, but I like the blueberrie smell ONR has more then the coconut lime that Absolute has). It does clean the car streak free at the end Ill give it that but its nothing special or a miracle wonder product it was first highlighed to be. Media hype really does create wonders out of thin air. So people...If you are having doubts dont! Stick with your ONR and forget about Absolute. In my opinion Absolute is not even in the same league as ONR, but way under. Its nothing special.

I once polished a estoril blue BMW outside in the sun. I used Hyper polish and polished the entire driver side. I also wanted to polish the entire car and then wipe the residue off but Hyper polish dried up and a ONR wet towel diddnt remove the residue. I had to quickly re-polish it again and then I was able to remove the residue....so YES Hyper polish does dry up after a certain time!
