Great product from duragloss. A chance to try out this product sample thanks to MD's Dec promotion. Because my workplace is near to construction site and my car most of the time is very dirty especially after light drizzle but recently after washing with DNR, I noticed little soiled on surface even after light drizzle and gloss apparantly stay for days. I read somewhere someone mentioned before car does not get so dirty after washing with DNR. Guess could be right and washing are much faster and easy for me now. A must buy product.

Saw my uncle lift the bonnet & spray water directly into his car's engine bay during car wash to wash away dust, the car can still start after. Is this a proper practice?

After reading many comments on Autopia regarding rinseless washes, I finally decided to try out ONR. Another fellow forummer demo-ed to me before and I found it extremely disturbing that a rinse step is not required. His sheepskin mitt literally turned BLACK and when dunking it into the ONR washpail, the dirt does not go away First I started off with the rims which haven't been washed in 2 weeks. Before [inline rim1.jpg] After [inline rim2.jpg] Here's the wash bucket AFTER all 4 rims/tyres + 2 dirty fenderwells [inline rim3.jpg] That's 4 reasonably dirty rims, and almost clear ONR in the washpail, only a little grit trapped inside the Gritguard. At this point I don't have a drying towel for the rims so I just let it be, I'm not about to dry the wheels and paint with the same towel Moving on to the paint, previously I would be doing Rinse > Wash > Rinse > Dry Now I am going to ONR > Dry (panel by panel, top to bottom) Mitt & Washpail before [inline mitt1.jpg] Mitt & Washpail after (you can't see but the ONR is rather clear, all the crap is trapped in the mitt) [inline mitt2.jpg] Nothing to shout about & the paint is still intact [inline "onr (640 x 480).jpg"] I used only 1 surface of MD's WWMF towel for the entire vehicle, including door jambs just to see how dirty the towel would get. [inline towel.jpg] After all this which took about 40 mins, I AW-ed the entire vehicle, rounding up a 'quick' detail at just over 1.5 hours which included spot claying, hand polishing the entire roof with Poorboy's Polish with Sealant and polishing the sunroof with Optimum Compound. My verdict: Safe, time-saver, cleaning power not good (perhaps I under-diluted) and good for areas like door sills. Get 2 drying towels, 1 for paint and 1 for rims, if you let ONR stand it will cause some watermarks. There are ABSOLUTELY ZERO suds. It looks just like plain water. [inline "final (640 x 480).jpg"]
