great info some off the best advice i have read i n this form, was reading a lot about people having high spots with gloss coat your right about paint prep used gloss coat about three times used paint prep never had any issues and i am no pro. thanks

yes i am turning to the dark side as ron calls it lol rines car foam cannon opti car wash two bucket wash with onr ring out mitt on ground then rinse in clean water always put clean wash mitt in the onr rinse car then dry with spray wax why not stop the soap don"t realy like washing one panel at a time

My new system of washing car is Rinse car garden hose Use Foam gun with otimum car soap let sit on car if not sunny Fill bucket with couple of gallons of water with two ounces of onr another with water Use wash mitt and dip in onr wash a panal ring out wash mitt Realy a two bucket wash then rinse car and dry with Opti spray wax there is no way you can scratch car I wash my car every week so realy the same amount of dirt One observation is that there is more dirt on my wash mitt when I rinse it then with the soap method??? And the car is very glossy and clean more money yes More water yes but wow

Has any body tried this Maybe just with water or summertime fluid?

Great thanks

Thanks this what i will do

Hi would like to do the same thing my glass has the image of the honda advertising on them after it was removed I guess they were on there for years and show up in the rain some times I hope polishing would get rid of it will try some glass polish maybe

Instead of buying a pad washer just use the money to buy more pads use three or four when rhere dirty put them in some ONR then stop polishing and clean them and start again what do you think?

Maybe I am turning to the dark side Rinsed my car Then put onr in the foam cannon and soaked car then two bucket wash with soap kills the suds a bit but man the car was clean car is gloss coated

Thanks this is great info this is what I was looking for

Thanks that is what I will do The good is that these guys at alps are amazing so it will look good the owner of the1962 911 they were working in the paint booth asked me about my coating gave him info

Bin clearing snow of my cars for years lived in the Ontario snow belt for most of my life and made some mistakes scratched car Now I use the foam tool to get top layer off. I notice that once the car is warm the ice just slides off car is coated with gloss coat and wax still beading in February

Just thought I would put my experience with OCW my car is gloss coated and I use optimum Wash soap before the snow started and the temp dropped I got three coats of wax on in a week nothing but constant snow and salt in toronto this winter I just go to the coin car wash rinse car it's bin to cold for any soap water beads of wax is still there love it Thanks

Would it be better to put it in your rinse bucket when doing traditional two bucket wash

Yup thanks

Saw This Product On Amazon Optimum Mineral Deposit remover will this clean my car but not remove my optimum gloss coat (the snow and slush is just not sticking to my car love it)

Great just in time am ordering now will give it a try when it warns up don't now if it will work in - 20 Thanks my Ellie will like this

I like the tires to be clean but not shinny a Matt finish looks better I think don't no what the opti looks like?

Nice!!!

Thanks Getting some product ordered for spring I want to strip any wax grease salt and any contamination from the winter this product sounds helpful I am thinking Mdr, paint prep, opti seal, then spray wax. What do you think The car is being washed once a week so far had some soap freeze to car but got it off when warmed up Thanks love the products

Would like to get one more coat of ocw on before the snow flys what's the lowest temperature I can apply thanks

Hi I put a coat of ocw on every other wash ( I wash car once a week)easy looks great Can you buff this product I miss using my buffer
