I saw that scottwax was starting to make newer videos. Decided to comment on a video and had said that its amazing what ONR will take off without issues. Ended up going back and forth and told him I'd make a video washing my truck after driving 75 miles through snow, sleet, ice and.... salt.
I forgot a bunch of stuff in the video and I've never really made a video online for someone other than family. I watched it several times and thought this might be something that would help people be a bit more comfy with what ONR can do. I do wash our vehicles on ..read more

I got my new truck in June of last year and wanted something that wasn't rinse, wash, rinse again then rush to dry it before the water spots. Its a full size truck so lots of surface area. Not sure how I found optimum products but it might have been Scottwax on youtube who I just saw is going to start making more videos, just did one a few weeks ago.
I started out with the BRS, then I saw the UBS I wanted to try that as well. I could never get used to the UBS though, just seems a little to small for my hands. So anyway I started washing both of our vehicles weekly ..read more

Hi guys,
Going through my cabinets and came across my 1/2 full 32 oz bottle of green ONRWW.

Thanks,

Looking to buy a gallon of ONR V5. Wondering if it can be stored undiluted or diluted in an outdoor shed where daily temps fluctuate between 55 F and 110F regularly during summer months. I did some searching but couldn't find a definitive answer ..read more

My car was coated with Ceramic Pro 6 months ago. I want to use ONR to do a rinseless wash. Also, I want to flush off the loose dirt using a battery-powered pressure washer (which only produces about 400 psi and about 0.8 gallons per minute of flow). It also has a foam gun option. I plan to use deionized water to flush off the foam and also for the ONR solution to avoid mineral deposits.
1. Is ONR safe to use on Ceramic Pro?
2. Should I foam the car first before flushing?
3. What foaming product should I use that is safe for Ceramic Pro?
4.   ..read more

Hi all,
I'm going to do some painting work, and I was wondering if I can use ONR as a water based paint cleaner (similar to 3M Prep Solvent 70). I am going to be using another solved based cleaner as well to get the surface as clean as possible ..read more

Hey all
I'm making this post just to make sure as I plan to put a ceramic coating on my car and will most likely use ONR maybe to wash before but clay lube mainly. I've read that because ONR is soy based, in addition to polymers, it leaves something behind that is reported to affect coatings and their durability?
Instead of just basing of rumours just wanted to check here directly if maybe there is more official info regarding this?
I also plan to keep ONR as my rinseless once I have the coating and that I have read is totally fine. Just before install I wasn't to sure ..read more

Watched that video of Dr. G at MTE that was referred to in a dilution thread. Dr. G stated he started developing ONR in 2005 and it was released in 2006. He said the formula was revised in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2021. That would make the current version V.5.
I've been keeping track, and I thought we were on V.4. I know I missed the first version (at that time my rinseless washing was restricted to winter and I was using up my QEW), but I bought my first bottle in August 2010 (when it was still in the translucent bottles). Then I bought a small bottle of V.3 (first ..read more
