Ron Ron Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hello all, First post here. I used ONR for the first time yesterday. Following the instructions, I added 1 oz of ONR to 2 gallons of water. Solely based on what I've read in various forums, I was surprised that the mixture was not as "slick" or "slimy" as I imagined it to be. To me, it felt no slicker than the clean water in my second bucket. I added another ounce to my mixture (now 2 oz in 2 gal) and it still didn't feel any different. I then poured 1 oz of the ONR into a small container and felt it without any dilution. It felt slicker than straight water, but without any dilution, I was expecting it to feel very slick. I proceeded to only wash my windows with my ONR mixture as I was not confident in using it for the painted surfaces until I reached out to you forum members to get your thoughts. How "slick" should it feel? Some things worth noting are that I bought the 32 oz bottle of ONR (new forumla I believe since it's blue) 16 months ago and it was sitting my garage since; never took the cap off. I'm in Los Angeles and the temp can get pretty warm in the garage during the summer. From what I've read, ONR has a shelf life that should exceed the time that I've kept it unused, but I wonder if what I'm experiencing is simply due to my bottle being unused for too long. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ron, not sure I would say ONR feels particularly slick and a very very long way from anything like slimy, the Optimum traditional shampoo feels slicker to me. It is always worth playing around with dilution rates but maybe this is a case of people over dramatising the sensation of slickness and therefore raising expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, I received and used Optimum Car Wash for the first time. I agree with you in that OCW feels more slick than ONR. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with my bottle or how I mixed it, but simply a matter of an expectation that wasn't met. Again, all I had read was forum posts about the product.

Lowejackson Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I must admit to not really thinking about the slickness of the ONR before but I guess the important thing is how well and how quickly it lets you clean the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
