I have been looking at both of these products from AG, but not sure which to get. They both seem to do the same thing, but is one better in any way? Thanks for your input.
 
Thats a tough one. They both are good. Some say ONR has more lubricants, but I couldn't really tell a difference.
 
I have never tried DP 4-1 but have nothing but good things to say about ONR. Very good product in my opinion
 
I have used both and found they both did an exceptional job. The main factor in making my decision was price.

Using 3 gallons for example per car mixed according to label
DP4N1 82 cents per car
ONR 47 cents per car

DP4N1 has a better smell than ONR. I've gotten used to how ONR smells so I don't notice it.
 
have only used the 4-1 and like it alot. might not have the slickness of other qd's but is very economical and can use as a clay lube and rinseless wash as well...
 
i originally bought ONR and then got a sample of dp4-1 from fminus...i would go with 4-1 as they both perform the same..but dp4-1 smells better :) ...and its cheaper
 
4n1 does smell better
onr doesnt smell THAT bad...

They are the same price for 32oz (15.99 iirc)

its take 1.5oz per 32oz water to make a QD with onr
it takes 2 oz per 32oz water to make a QD with 4n1


ONR takes less and costs the same....but it depends on what your going after

to me same price longer lasting was a simple choice...ill deal with the smell
 
Ummm.... It really doesn't smell that bad. I would only smell it when I was adding it to the water. After that, nothing. What kinda formula did you guys get?

I've used the older and newer. Like you said it is only really noticeable when adding it.
 
I haven't used either, there are so many great reviews for both it really makes it hard to pick...

also ONR is $40/ga, DP 4IN1 is 35/gal
Now5 bux is nothing when one product is better then the other, but with all the great reviews for both it makes it even harder to choose, since everyone says you use less ONR...

I was one of the last in my area to try ONR - now, I can't say enough good things about it. Also, I mixed up a bottle of QD using the formular on the ONR bottle - all my other QD's are getting used up and NOT replaced!
 
same here....kool thing is all my other QD bottles are getting reused with the QD formula for ONR

and the waterless rinse is freakin awesome.....love it
 
I have been using ONR for some time. And I really like how it works. Just wish it smelled better. I am getting low on the ONR. I might try the DP 4in1 and compare the two. Hope it smells better then ONR

they both equally smelled bad in my opinion. I like the outcomes of both and would recommend either to anyone looking to save on water usage, plus have clay and spray detailer ingredients.
 
What about Poorboys Spray and Wash rinseless wash? Does it compare? I've never used any of these 4 in 1 products, but am considering purchasing one and want the best;)
 
I would get DP just for the fact that there are other uses to it.
 
I used DP 4-in-1 all winter long and I never noticed a bad scent. In fact I used it today for a detail I've always had good results. I use it for clay lube, and toss some in with my wash bucket when I do a full wash. The bad smell thing is throwing me off because I don't think it smells bad and I have a good sniffer.:)
Here's afew pics from January using DP.

I think DP smells good.

It doesnt work that well as a QD though....
