For those of you who don't know what ONR is, i'll walk you through the whole deal.

It's a specially formulated polymer cleaning product that allows you to wash your car w/ only a couple of buckets of water, a wash mitt, and a few towels to dry it off. No rinsing so no need for a hose and running water.
How does it work? It's a special formula that encapsulates the dirt on your car with polymers and allows it to be removed w/o scratching the surface. It's hard to believe, but it works.
The 32oz bottle is $15.99 and you only have to use 2 cap fulls (2oz) into a couple of gallons of water to make the solution. It's very concentrated stuff.
Figure that you end up spending a few bucks every time you go to the spray car wash. Well, this $15.99 32oz bottle should be able to make enough wash mix to create 16 wash solutions, and you can use one mix of solution to wash multiple cars. So you can get more than 16 washes out of this one bottle.
I used one normal bucket with water+ONR and one bucket with water and a grit guard at the bottom. For the mitt, I used a Armor-all microfiber deal (orange) and a other microfiber mitt I bought at Target (blue) for a few bucks. To dry the car off I used just regular microfiber towels.
You basically wash one secton/panel at a time, then dry it off, and move to the next section.
The two bucket method works like this:
1. you dip the clean mitt in the ONR solution
2. start cleaning a section of the car
3. When you're done w/ that section, take the dirty mitt, and clean/rinse it off in the bucket with the grit guard bucket.
4. Then start all over again once you have rinsed the mitt.
You can also mix the ONR in a more concentrated manner to create a quick detailer spray or a clay bar lube.

As I said earlier, you can also mix it up in a more concentrated fashion to create ONR clay lube. I used an empty bottle of Quik Detailer.

Here's an example after washing 2 dirty cars.

Emptied out the water in both.

Nasty shtuff trapped at the bottom thanks to the grit guard.
Here's a pic of my product usage after about 12 washes.

Like I said, you only use a couple of caps of it to make the solution, so right now I still have over half the bottle and i've been using it to wash my car every 2-4wks for alittle over a year.
So this stuff works great. The price is great considering how many car washes you can get from one bottle. It's perfect for people who live in apartments/condos, but really, it's a great cleaning product regardless of where you use it. I can wash my car comfortably inside my garage. No running water, no mess, just a clean car at the end.
