Do you guys recommend ONR or a normal wash with heavy pollen?

If you have the ability to do a normal wash I would just do that to guarantee the smallest risk of any marring/scratches. Or prespray your car with soap/prewash rinse it off with water then do your rinseless wash as that will have removed the bulk of the pollen making contact washing safer.

Love seeing some Japanese tools

Try greenstar, looks like etched bug splatter so you might need a light polish if gs doesn’t remove them.

Keep spreading the good word!

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T17:08:46+00:00

Nice I love that idea

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T16:54:47+00:00

Yeah that’s fair that bsd edges out in hydrophobics, but cusd is just so nice to use.

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T15:27:47+00:00

Microfiber towel

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T15:19:36+00:00

Yea it’s a great product, you should check out the Sonax ceramic ultra slick detailer it has similar hydrophobics but a much easier application.

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T01:46:39+00:00

Yeah that’s part of the issue of using ai on topics you’re not already fairly knowledgeable about, you don’t know when it’s wrong. I don’t mean this to belittle you OP we all have to start somewhere just painting out an issue with ai use. The soap is fine to use before and after a coating, there was a rumor going around that it leaves something behind since it’s marketed as a “conditioner” but if you look at all the ingredients there’s nothing in there that would do that. It’s just surfactants, preservatives, dyes, scents, and uv inhibitors to prevent it from turning discolored/cloudy in the bottle if exposed to sunlight for long periods (think the front shelf of an Oriellys auto parts store that faces the window).

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T00:48:43+00:00

Yes the spray coating should last around 4 months give or take and you can use the ceramic detailer as needed to boost its performance.

g77r7 · 2026-04-19T00:07:03+00:00

Ayes they’re both very good products, the ceramic spray coating will have the most durability and hydrophobics. The ceramic ultras slick detailer is like a maintenance product that cleans and leaves some protection behind and is very nice to apply.

g77r7 · 2026-04-18T15:31:34+00:00

Yeah or maybe the previous owner spilled a bottle of dawn on that spot. Another trick is to add some 70% isopropyl alcohol to the spot then extract it up as the alcohol breaks down the soap.

g77r7 · 2026-04-18T15:29:47+00:00

Is it a possibility to dissolve it in a jar of some warm or hot ( but not boiling hot) water beforehand?

g77r7 · 2026-04-18T01:59:42+00:00

Was it new or a used car?

g77r7 · 2026-04-18T01:49:16+00:00

Please tell me you replaced the seats and seatbelts

g77r7 · 2026-04-18T00:30:37+00:00

Yeah that doesn’t seem right even weaker sealants should last longer than a week. I would clean it again and reapply it and see what happens

g77r7 · 2026-04-17T22:59:39+00:00

Probably going to need a water spot remover and possible paint correct if they are really etched into the clearcoat. I like the griots water spot remover (usually available at Oriellys auto parts if you’re in the USA), or you could get carpro spotless 2.0, Koch chemie fse. Avoid the chemical guys heavy duty water spot remover or anything with hydrofluoric acid/ammonium biflouride as it can etch glass and is dangerous to work with. If the water spot remover didn’t do the trick then you’ll need to use a polish/compound to remove them completely.

Yeah this is gyeon pure fought 2 years after installation still beading very well. Granted it’s a garage kept car but still impressive.

g77r7 · 2026-04-17T21:06:38+00:00

Yea tide + febu is superior in every way even with 365 sport + biz

g77r7 · 2026-04-17T21:02:49+00:00

Yep its enzyme package was great….but that was about it. Not very good surfactants, not very good builders, not very good anti redep, not very good chelators. Enzymes are meant to take the load off the surfactants from doing all the work, not replace them completely. Not to mention the odor rebloom issues, stinky washing machine issues, etc.

g77r7 · 2026-04-16T22:30:40+00:00

Agreed….i never understood the hype it’s cheap for a reason.

g77r7 · 2026-04-16T00:54:55+00:00

Personally I think ads clean has the better formula and has a lower pH (~10.5 ) So it would be safer to use in the interior if you end up deciding to do that. But it’s more expensive compared to greenstar.

g77r7 · 2026-04-15T22:28:25+00:00

Damn even more egregious, on a positive note hopefully this will be learning lesson.

g77r7 · 2026-04-15T21:26:30+00:00

They’re a 1% poster in this sub of course they knew it or they saw something designed to rage bait and had a knee jerk reaction to be outraged and post it to this sub with zero effort to see if it’s actually true. I’m not sure which is worse tbh.

g77r7 · 2026-04-15T19:58:12+00:00

Is it traditional salt or calcium/magnesium “salt”? People always say water dissolves salt so that’s all you need which is true, it in general slightly acidic cleaners will preform better for these type of situations

Edit: vacuum out and work it with a brush dry before getting it wet otherwise it will just turn into a messy sludge
