maan Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Hi, what if i use the HPCS correctly as instructed but I do not have ONR available for the pads, what is the alternative? 1- use a dry pad 2- dampen the (clean) pad with just water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowejackson Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Welcome to the OPT forum. Just to echo the point made by A&J, if you get the chance, buy some ONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I use ONR everywhere, even in our house! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Agreed, ONR is such a versatile product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I wonder about using Opti-Clean as an alternative to ONR. It would be more expensive but ignoring the cost, would it do a similar or better job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowejackson Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I wondered if the glossing agents would interfere with the polish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention it takes some effort to remove all the streaking unlike ONR which is easier to wipe off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall any streaking with Opti-clean or are we talking about OID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Nope Opti clean can streak and yes it does contain a slight sealant inside similar to ONR just stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it contains it. Mentioned in about the 16:10 min mark in this video. It does streak especially in the warmer climate such as Southern California. I no longer use it for a waterless wash on the paint. Pretty much use it for interior maintenance wipe downs and engine bay touch ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Interesting, I guess the colder climate here in the UK means less smearing. I too prefer Opti-clean on the interior but this is because of simple laziness, ONR takes less effort to wash the exterior. The only times I used it on the exterior was when the car was quite dirty and I sprayed it rather than ONR before washing with ONR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
