Whats ONR?
Do you have a link to this product? Or a name?

Yea, it is by no means going to give the same result as a 12 hour job or washing, polishing, waxing, sealing, whatever else....ya know. But with some elbow grease it gives a damn good result with the clay considering the time put into it.

I'm sorry - I would never use that product without washing and drying the vehicle first. I would never use any kind of metal polish on any kind of painted surface unless I was trying to remove the paint.

No need to be sorry, haha appareantly you arent alone here with that opinion lol. I've used it on 11k paint jobs (obviously not the metal polish because there isnt scratches on paint that pricey...atleast there better not be haha) and it comes out beautifully without a flaw. But everyones entitled to their opinion right? I was just looking for how much I should charge that guy

It does an alright job, but by no means does it make the truck shine like when I break out the really good stuff.

For what you are describing I wouldn't pay no more than $50. Also there's no way you should be using $30 worth of materials.

Oh, No, I'm not saying it works better than the high dollar, spend alot of time, stuff. But it works for what I need it to work for.

I'd use a california duster before I'd use that stuff on an unwashed vehicle.
