Detailing and waxing

[autobrz]

i've been using ONR for quite a few years. I thought it was the best wash method until I tried the foam gun. I don't think anything has come close to the convenience and speed of washing with a foam gun in one hand and a mitt in another. need soap? just squeeze the trigger and foamy soap shoots onto the car. need to rinse the mitt? use the quick connect to detach the soap bottle and the gun sprays clean water at good pressure. I don't even need to carry a bucket around anymore.

I might not have been the best at using ONR but I'm noticing I'm cleaning the car better with a foam gun because when I wipe my car down with the waffle-wave towel, the towel stays completely clean. When I used ONR, my drying towel always got slightly dirty. I'm not even using expensive soap, just some cheap over the counter stuff I had left over from many years ago.

This is the one I'm using: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/butchers-75QGF4-Foamaster-Cleaning-Gun/dp/B009YKEWBK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1374000943&sr=8-4&keywords=foam+gun"]Amazon.com: butchers 75QGF4 Foamaster Cleaning Gun: Patio, Lawn & Garden[/ame]

A good waffle weave towel is a must for drying. a good one can probably only be found at one of the auto detailing specialty internet stores mentioned above.

I use the Cobra micro fiber towels when I was with ONR. I agree that sponges are a terrible idea on your paint.

Is the foam gun that life changing?

I have a black car and I used Nanolex nanowax. Out of all the waxes I have used in the past, this is by far the best, the easiest to apply and the easiest to buff off. Awesome product. I have no affiliation with anyone, I am just a guy that takes care of his car paint.

Steps:

1. take off the old waxes washing the car with dishwashing liquid.
2. clay bar it
3. two or one step Das6 polish with Menzerna polishing pads and cream
4. wash the caR WITH dishwashing liquid again as the polishing creams contain waxes
5. IPA just ot make sure
6 Nanolex Nanowax/NanoOne - I applied it by RO machine so it was very easy to put on.
7 Do 2-3 panels, wipe off with microfiber
8 Wait about 2 hours to "cure"

Do all the work inside, in a cool place. I also did the wheels. The shine is incredible, no streaks or anything.

I am waiting for it to wear off (4-6 months) and I will try a different product. 22PLE here I come baby!

try it. i recommend final rinsing with an open hose to let the water sheet off and thoroughly clean any soap off

Foam gun is the way to go if you have hose access. For those of us apt/city dwellers will have to stick with onr.
