Just got a bottle of ONR a few days ago. I was wondering what a good dilution would be for cleaning the door jambs, under the hood, and around the trunk.

I just diluted a cap and a half of ONR in 32 oz of distilled water. I don't have access to measuring cups at the moment.

Thanks!:xyxthumbs:
 
I'd go with the ratio for quick detailer which is what, 8 oz to a gallon of water, I'd think that would be enough unless your jams get a little "funkier", then I'd add another 2 oz of ONR. Your going to love ONR, its an amazing product for sure, made a believer out of me after one wash at the end of winter on a salt encrusted CR-Z out in the parking lot on a 40 degree winter day....GAME OVER!

2 more ounces perfect! Thanks!

Is a cap of the ONR equivalent to an ounce?
 
I don't think ONR is strong enough to clean door jams, especially deep near the hinges. Optimum Power Clean would be a better choice.
 
I believe ONR would be fine for maintaining clean door jams. A waterless wash would be better. When I do my 3-6 month wax application I clean the door jams with OPC. Then just use waterless wash like OCC or HD Free

:iagree: Exactly what I do, followed by a quick wipe of ONR to remove residue and finally being treated with Optimum Car Wax or Opti-Seal.
 
Thanks for the help all!

My car has less than 150 miles on it, so my door jambs are pretty clean already. Just wanted something to spray them down during each car wash to keep them in tip top shape.
 
Do yourself a favor and stop at a dollar store for a $1 pack of measuring spoons. It will be the best dollar you ever spent for detail supplies!

Get some Aqua Wax to protect your door jams and makes for easy cleaning.

I just washed the daughters twilight blue car with Duragloss no rinse with aqua wax. This stuff is great. I have a gallon and a 1/2 of ONR and I should have used it first because the Duragloss has become my favorite now.

Thanks, I'll pass though. Sticking with ONR for door jambs and CG V7 for outside :)

I have too many products as it is!
 
If you don't try new products you won't know what works best.

No one can accuse me of that. I think I try everything new that my friends on the forum recommend. Darn Nick and his reviews! I have found some products I love and some that don't get it for me. But I agree that if you don't try new products, you will never know if they are better. A perfect example for me is Black Fire. I never thought I would find anything better than Opticlean but I think BF waterless is amazing.
 
That's another to try on my list. It
's going to be hard to top Ultima
Waterless Wash, but if you don't try you won't know.

Believe me, if I didn't try out new products, I wouldn't be asking what dilution of ONR to use.

It's one thing to try out new products, it's another thing to spend money on things you don't really need. Especially if you already have a new bottle you haven't even tried yet.
 
Uh, on my door jambs I use car shampoo with an old MF.

I used to do this also, but it became annoying to try and get the car shampoo off without fudging up the interior.

Therefore I opted for ONR.
