That's the newest product but its a wax AND car wash. I prefer the wash only (the blue stuff).

I still use the blue ONR, and as far as I know (it's been like 6 month since I've looked as I buy a gal at time) they still sell that one too.

If you're lazy like me, the green stuff will save you the waxing step. It's probably not as good as doing a separate waxing step, but it will at least be faster and still offer you an extra layer of protection.

I prefer to correct the paint (if need be), then seal or wax.

Adding a wax while washing means if you wish to seal or correct you have to clay to remove the wax first.

Personal preference honestly.

I didn't know you were referring to paint correction. You are right; you don't want anything on the paint during the paint correction process.

For normal washes, I'd use something like the green ONR.

I use these products and detail fairly regularly Adams isn't the only brand out there but general ease of use and a badass made in the U.S.A product that leaves a shine second to none is what I use and recommend!

There is a wealth of information out here on anything from a basic wash to a complete paint correction.

Quick question, I have tree sap on my car building up almost everyday. Is it OK to apply one spray of meguiars #34 and just wipe it clean with a MF towel? or does this risky there be extra grime that may scratch the coat.

Waterless wash or detail spray and a microfiber and you should be good. I usually let it build up during the week an wash it all off.

Great ONR wash method. Recently a lot of users of this method have switched to a single bucket version. You will need a few more towels but no wash material gets re-introduced into the wash water. Any good rinseless product will do the job.
