Guest Novagloss Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hello guys, I did my first ever ONR(WW) wash on my 2 week old car last night. Looks great, and I'm pretty happy with the first result. However, since it's spring, even after just a vfew hours, there is a small amount of pollen on the paintwork again. I am aware that pollen can be abrasive and that it also needs to be removed after not too long, but it is simply not practical to go re-wash the car ever couple of days. I am leaving for a 5 day trip tomorrow and wanted the car to be clean at least for the outbound trip but with packing and work, I can't do the wash again. So, my question - is there a way to remove a very small amount of pollen today without doing a whole new wash? I have OCW too by the way. Thanks!

Ron@Optimum Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 consider buying Opti-Clean (waterless wash) or mixing No Rinse in a quick detailer ratio (10 oz to 1 gallon) - makes it easy to do a quick/safe wipe down (works on pollen, bugs, sap, etc), spray on/wipe off.

Guest Novagloss Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks Ron. So, simply wipe without pressure and buff? Or pre-soak with sprayer? Would opticlean and a 10oz/1 gal ONR be the same cleaner? Or is Opti-Clean still safer/better for waterless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think ONR seems to have better cleaning abilities but not sure what the official line is. I would suggest ONR is probably slightly easier to use compared to Opticlean. Pre-spraying does make a noticeable difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptzippy Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm an opticlean fan and like it better than ONR for waterless so different strokes. I've pushed the limits of both products with good results. Think either should handle pollen easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydtoosic Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Opti clean FTW... I pre soak the car with it before I ONR... I don't spray and wipe anything off the car, especially pollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
