Is that the company that was started by someone that used to be a member here? We had a member who stopped posting when he started his business, like Cory did when he started Sky's the Limit.
I've bought from Sky's the Limit, no issues
No idea yet! Was looking at P&S though.Which RW will you chose for the GT500

It's actually a pretty good choice. Will your car be coated?
He's a good guy. I contacted him on social media and he's been more than helpful for me. He's also made sure to help me out with orders through Autoality or bundle deals from his website if I recall. His lineup is mostly soap and LSPs but I've always liked what I tried.
I wonder how they determined that because I certainly didn't see any increased user experience with the new ONR in basically any way. So if slickness was the main improvement, I certainly didn't feel it. If it was extra cleaning, that may be but it's not something that was obvious. I won't comment on what others have reported but from my limited testing, this product took a step back from version 5, which I still have. I would rather use that than the v6, that's how much it took a step back.
It is coated. In 2020 it had Gtechniq EXO "9-year" coating installed. Being a garage queen it is still going strong due to no element exposure and few washes. I was given the invoices for anything and everything ever done to the car.
My man! Thanks for this lil run-down. I have a ton of ONR left. Both blue and green. Sometimes it's hard to beat the classics as they say.Have a look at this thread I authored last year -
DFB's Rinse-less Wash Shootout
While I have been detailing cars in some form or another since I was all of 14 years old, so about 24 years, I’m relatively new to rinse-less and waterless washing. In terms of water-less, I’m only using that method on door jambs and engine bays, but rinse-less is now an important part of my detailing skill set.
What I love about rinse-less wash products is the versatility. In addition to rinse-less washing, I’m using these products as a quick detailer, waterless washing of door jambs and...
I've tended to like the polymer type, they feel more lubricated, which I felt important coming from being a heavy soap user. I really like ONR and Absolute for that reason. I think the polymer type are a nice balance between the products laced with wax or Si02 (which can be fun), and the surfactant-based options that are said to "leave nothing behind". The reality is, any rinse-less will leave something behind, even the surfactant ones, so I guess it comes down to how much you want left behind. Personally, I've never really cared about the "nothing left behind" thing.
At the moment, I'm gravitating towards the following -
P&S Absolute - I think the slickness this brings, both in how it glides but also in the finished result. When it was released, the product did have a tendency to clumpy in the bottle, but that has since been addressed. It can also congeal a little in the bucket initially, but again they have worked on that with later revisions.
ADS Hero - This is a hybrid polymer/surfactant product. It's probably not the strongest cleaners, but by the sounds of it, that isn't really your top priority. The reason why you would choose this one is the slickness during and afterwards. And with Si02 in the formula, it will help maintain a coating without the need for drying aids or toppers.
Opti-Coat No Rinse – This Si02 version of the polymer-type ONR doesn't get much love but its supremely accomplished. I personally think its slicker and glossier than Hero, while sharing its ease of use and dependability of the regular blue ONR. Smells nice too.
McKee's N-914 or DIY Detail Rinse-less - Not my favorites, but if you like the squeaky-clean feel, these would be worth looking at. Both are of the surfactant variety and have slightly "sticky" (for lack of a better word) to them. I also use these mixed at 128:1 as a windscreen washer fluid.
Considering you are familiar with ONR, I'd suggest getting a small bottle of McKee's N-914 and ADS Hero to see how they feel against your ONR benchmark.
I could throw a monkey wrench in here but what Deyon has posted are great choices, haven't used any ONR in about 10+ years, just never really grabbed my attention but it sounds like you've got stuff to use up first anyways
Without watching the video why wouldn't you just pre-treat bugs with a strong ratio APC and let it do the work and then do the RW over that area to even it all out
They pretreated with the ONR only. They demonstrated using OPC on wheels and tires followed by ONR. Makes sense to apply same logic to bugs as well. I think it was the bug removal sponge that made me cringe. I would rather use a high PH pretreatement and soft media than a neutral PH RW and rough media. I only use bug sponges on windshields.Without watching the video why wouldn't you just pre-treat bugs with a strong ratio APC and let it do the work and then do the RW over that area to even it all out

Sorry Crack, total brain fart on my part
, maybe I was thinking something everyone has in their collection but actually, since it exists, Preludio alkaline AND acidic should be too
️️Yeah, I’m using WW&S as a drying aid, as a break from what I normally use and not as a true LSP. It provides some added cleaning/protection in case I missed something and provides excellent gloss at the end. The fact that it has some UV inhibitors or protection and comes from a company that actually has a patent on UV inhibitors in their product line, is an added bonus.
