It cannot replace a good old fashion regular car wash.
Seems to many folks out there claim it to be the end all of car washing.
I predict in five years we will look back and realize rinseless wash products were a flavor of the month deal.
One of my biggest pet peeves about it is that even a mildly dirty set of wheels, tires, and wells is hard to get clean with just ONR, wheel/tire cleaners, APC.
You really need a hose.

Dont use the word overrated. Overrated would be reserved for justin beiber or windows 7. Its just a very widely talked about product because more and more people are starting to learn about it and use it. For those of us that have used it and known about it for a while it just seems like beating a dead horse...just my opinion

I go though bottles of this stuff left and right. This is often times overshadowed by 1Z CP. Meguiars made a good move in finally making a gal size version of this stuff.
To add to the list of good OTC products is: Turtlewax Liquid claybar
Not a good claybar alternative but this stuff is amazing as a chemical precleaner and stripper. This stuff makes quick work of removing wax/sealant, bugs, light tar and paint oxidation.

I have to disagree with this one. I am not saying I don't like AW (just the opposite is true, I like it a LOT!), but it is not underrated as there are a ton of people who talk about how good it is, and it is pretty highly regarded in general for what it is.

I haven't touched my bottle for so long I forgot what it looks like on a tire. I've been digging AG VRC a lot lately. I should revisit this sometime soon as a refresher.

I should say that my favorite application for it is not on tires (but is good for tires too) but rather things like black exterior trim, and *especially* the car's dashboard. It really does an excellent job of cutting down on the normal dust attraction that you see on your dash.
It's also a perfect product for spraying into the wheel wells.
Top Kote is much more than a tire dressing.

Wow, didn't mean to stir up anything about ONR. Thats why I specified only "ONR in QD Stength", because I know its a very well regarded product in general. I only posted it because I have seen some negative comments on several boards regarding ONR QD. Its just so cheap however to mix up 32oz of ONR QD that I feel its completely unwarranted, as its a great product for light cleaning of just about anything. Unless I wait more than a few days on the outside, or one week on the inside, with a bottle of ONR QD and my microfibers, I can clean both the outside and inside of my car for less than 50 cents and with one product!

Hey Tad,
I was really impressed with the sample of ARO you sent, it worked amazingly well.
I listed ARO as an underrated product because I've never heard of it and with all the products I have on my shelves and have tried over the past 35 to 40 years this was an eyeopener for me...
I really like the Soveran spray wax. It went on very easily and buffed to a gorgeous shine! I'll add this to my next order..
rops:Have you had the opportunity to try the Optimum Spray Wax yet? I'd like to hear your thoughts.

No, I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I'll let you know soon.

I think 4 Star seems to be doing more business as a supplier to other brands rather than direct marketing. Four Star makes Ultima. For a brand to work, you have to spend more marketing.
