I have two quick questions. I'm looking into purchasing ONR, but I'm not sure which microfiber towels to use. Which microfiber towels do you guys suggest washing and drying with when using ONR? My second question is about wheel wells. I clean my wheel wells with Meguiar's Super Degreaser and that gets them clean. However, they are starting to look at bit faded and I want to make them darker again (more of an original, new appearance). I'm not looking for a temporary dressing, but a longer lasting option. What would you guys suggest? Thank you!
 
I have been using TRC Edgeless Eagles for ONR washes and I use CG Bare Bones for wheel wells.
 
Use the plushest towels you have for onr. We get by with bulk towels from sams club, but it does marr a little
 
I use the same microfibers for rinseless washes. Look into Meguiar's D4510 Plastic & Vinyl Coating for the wheel wells. There is even the new ultimate black trim restorer (aerosol version) that is even more durable.
 
I have the shine & buff too. I use the Cobra guzzler hd ww to dry.
 
I use 2 TRC chenille mitts for the first 2 lower swipes on the sides,were the heavier grime is. One swipe per side of mitt and one mitt per side. I try to roll the mitt as I am doing this.

Then I use about 6 TRC blue eagle edgeless for the rest of the paint.
I use a Cobra guzzler and D156 to dry.
For the wheels I use walmart Microtex Platinum XLs.
 
I use the Shine & Buff Waterless Wash Towel as well along with Super Plush Junior 16"x16".
 
You'll get a million answers for towels, so I'm not going to give you mine. But for wheel wells, the only thing that really holds up is DLux.

It's a LOT of work though - I did it. You have to pull the wheels and get the wheel wells perfectly clean. This is not as easy as it sounds. There will be tar and all kinds of embedded garbage in the plastic. Just when you think it's clean - you'll find more dirt. It takes SEVERAL rounds of clean and rinse to get them clean.

If your going this route, I'd recommend Tuff Shine Tire Cleaner to clean the plastic. You will also likely need some type of solvent type bug and tar remover like TarX.

After its all cleaned - rinse well and wipe them with Eraser. Then apply DLux. You will use a lot.

This is the type of work you do on a show car or a garage queen. I would not waste your time with a daily driver, as it will still get pelted with like a zillion rocks and pieces of dirt on a daily basis.

If your interested, I prolly have pictures of the process somewhere.

For a daily driver, just spray them down with Megs D4510 after each wash. I've tried several "dressings" - and this is the best. It doesn't leave a greasy mess the next time you clean the wheel wells, and it's aerosol - so it dries quickly and spreads evenly.

You won't need an applicator or have to spread gobs of greasy solvent based dressing (common products sold for undercarriage) - that will leave a greasy mess and turn into brown sludge the next time you clean the wheel well.
 
Thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate it. I'll have to pick up some more microfiber towels along with ONR. I'll have to keep searching for what product I want to try on my wheel wells.
