Heijneker Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Great, Ron. To be clear, is this a recent improvement? I've gotten one from TRC EU on 9-2021 which looks the same. Is it the same or has it been tweaked slightly now? Anyway, it's the best, easiest and quickest way to clean pads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 it's a recent improvement but I have no idea when TRC may have gotten the now model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it as effective as Lake Country's Snappy Clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 the ONR dilution for pad washer is the same as for wash - 1 oz to 2 gallons. Optimum does not test competitors products but maybe someone else has tried Snappy Clean (and what name came in second?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heijneker Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 In my humble opinion, ONR isn't a pad cleaner, but a pad conditioner and detergent rinser. So you should use a Power Clean or APC pre-spray, then agitate it on the wash board, rinse with ONR and agitate again and spin-dry the pad. ONR on it's own definitely doesn't cut through the polishing residue on the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will use either an APC and/or something like Lake Country’s or McKees37 pad cleaning product to really clean the pad. Sounds like ONR will definitely condition the pads during the polishing process. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
