LOL. Best one yet, Bob. How did this thread last this long without these one coming up!! :)

I know, right... I guess I should have put more smilies in my post. :) :) :)

That statement doesn't compute for me. If you don't dislike them, would you put them on your ride? The answer is most likely not, and the most likely reason is because you don't like them. ;) Not liking and not caring are two different things but can be easily confused. I don't like them...

Now that I've re-read it, I misread the original statement ("if you want to use 1 gallon of water, you need to use 1/4 of your concentrate".) I thought you meant 1 gallon was the total mixture, which would make it 1:3 ratio. I sit here corrected.

First of all, great review, including the photos. I've always used UWW+ as my waterless wash, and planning to get Pinnacle soon since I'm almost out again. But after this review, I might throw in D115 to try. But as in other D115 threads, there is confusion on the dilution ratios. Everyone...

Well, I'm in Canada but here in Vancouver BC, the weather goes against the stereotypical Canadian winter. Think of it as Seattle weather - mild winter, always raining. Outside temps generally hover above freezing. It'll dip below freezing for a week or so somewhere in there and that'll be our...

They're not "new". Not exactly sure when LED strips on headlights first came out, but I first saw them on 2009 Audi's. I missed out by a year (bought an 08), really thought they were cool THEN when only Audi had them. Now they're on every other car, and after 6 years they look so out-dated...

Not on your paint please. I use them for carpet scrubbing, on-the-fly cleaning of my foam pads, interiors, and for drying myself. :)

My local Canadian Tire sells them.

The way I think about it is like this - you want to have the same ratio (more or less* - more on this later) of shampoo vs water hitting your paint as the ratio recommended by the manufacturer. I said "more or less" because not all traditional car shampoos are good with a foam gun. Taking...

And the GD = Garry Dean.

You know, you may have a point there. I actually was thinking that it was the ONR that bounced the shine back because of the inherent "gloss enhancers" built into ONR Wash & "Shine". Well, I guess my next wash would be traditional shampoo, let's see how this coating behaves! But no matter...

Like others, I won't clay if I don't intend to do any type of polish. That said, I've done "spot-claying" (small spot) but not so often that it's the norm. But if you say it'll stay in the garage overnight, I'll skip the Crystal Mist and go right to claying with your favourite clay lube.

Quick update: It's been 20 days since I last put on the initial 3 coats. I live in the Pacific NW rainforest (Vancouver BC) where it's been raining almost everyday. We got a break from the rain on Christmas day but the roads remained wet. I actually don't remember the last time the roads...

Metro Sidekick is small and portable. I've used ONR QD strength, Optimum Instant Detailer, UWW+, and Meg's instant detailer as drying aids. Remember just spritz the panels, you're not doing a waterless wash. I spritz half the vehicle, then wipe dry. Then repeat other side. I follow...

Optimum, in various dilutions.

Anyone still use a ShMITT these days? I remember the lovefest with these wash mitts years ago. But they've fallen out of favor these days I guess. I know mine has sat in the bottom of a box of detailing supplies for some time now.

Merry Christmas, Mike and everyone here at AG!! It's actually been warmer here than previous weeks. So much so I was back to pulling out the hose and doing a traditional 2BM wash on the car yesterday!

This is almost exactly what I do. After doing a rinseless wash on the car using 2 buckets, I'd still have about 1.5 gallons of clean ONR wash solution left. Spray tire and wheels with OPC @ 1:3. Dunk an MF towel in the left-over ONR wash solution and wipe down tires and wheels. I use MF...
