I finally had some time to break out the ONR and Fuzion to see how they did. I must admit that I had really high hopes for the ONR going in based upon the glowing experiences of everyone else.
I started off with a pretty dirty car, I wanted to give ONR a real world challenge with my daily driver after a few rain storms.
Before Pictures:
Looks like I have some clear coat failure
AGH! I want to hurt whoever rubbed against my car.
Getting ready, new gold Cobra microfibers, measured out 2 gallons of water the easy way (on the bathroom scale) and made it nice and hot to keep my hands warm.
Started cleaning with the ONR, starting at the top of the car and going down, re-folding sections of the microfiber as I went. I found it really difficult to work with the microfiber, it kept wanting to bunch up and was difficult to control and lightly drag over the surface.
I was getting a lot of streaking with the ONR, here is an example on the glass:
Example of streaking on the paint
The results of someone rubbing against my car :death stare:
The results of the ONR bucket after finishing the car. I made sure to really scrub the microfiber against the grit guard to try and get all of the dirt loose.
- Conclusion on the ONR - Not really for me. I ended up putting a lot of new scratches in my soft black paint, and I thought it was really difficult to work with. I would not substitute it for a regular wash, and for light dusting I am going to stay with my California duster and FK425 wipe down. I will begin using it as an additive to my regular wash to help prevent scratching, but not alone on it's own.
On to Fuzion!
This was a bit of a splurge on a 20% sale, I love Souveran, but every Wolf Gang product I try is amazing (especially Deep Gloss Paint Sealant), so I wanted to give this a shot. I truthfully had no idea how Fuzion could be better than Souveran, which I consider to be pretty much perfect.
The smell of the product was a bit chemical, and actually smelled pretty similar to ONR though not nearly as strong. Packaging was excellent, no problems getting the wax out to put on a LC red pad.
The first thing that shocked me is how far Fuzion spreads ... this stuff is like butter and keeps going and going and going. It easily spread over 5 times the area I was expecting, I only lightly re-applied to the pad about 3 times to do the entire car. I am thinking it is going to take me a really long time to go through this pot and my free refill (as in years).
Removal was fantastic, right on par with Souveran. I really like WOWO waxes. Unfortunately the sun decided to go away for the next week, so I didn't get any full sun shots. After a week of application I have found a big difference with Souveran and Fuzion in terms of dust attraction. Fuzion is now going to be my go to wax simply because it does not have the amazing dust attraction feature that Souveran has.
TLDR: ONR is not for me, I now love Fuzion and think it is worth the added expense over Souveran.
