Hello from Cardiff, Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi there. 
 

Daniel here, from the country with four seasons in one day.

I currently live in an apartment with no outside tap, hence the search for a rinseless product. Did some research and I’m now an ONR convert as I will only use this product, even if an outside tap became available. No more soap...Woohoo. 
 

So I’ve been using ONR-wash and wax for the past six months and it’s really during that time that I was bitten by the detailing “bug” and I just love everything about it and ONR. The only grumble that I have is the amount of microfibre cloths I had to use when using ONR, HOWEVER, now that I have a more clear understanding of ONR I’ve now bought The...Big...Red...Sponge. I’ve not used it yet but cannot wait to give it a go. At the moment the weather here in Cardiff, Wales is very wet, so I wait in anticipation. 
 

Anyway, great to be here and part of this forum. 
 

I do have a question, while I’m here....

With the big red sponge, do I have to pre soak the sponge for 24 hours before using it? And I read that I can leave the big red sponge in ONR solution....is that until the next time I wash my car. I wash my car every two weeks😇

Welcome to OPT, Daniel!  You do not have to soak the Big Red Sponge 24 hours before use - soaking it 15 minutes is sufficient.  Some soak the BRS in ONR solution between uses (I do) others clean and allow to dry.  There is no specific OPT recommendation.

Thank you Ron and thanks for the advise. Much appreciated! Looking forward to using the BRS...
