so is it as good as they say it is?
 
only downer i found was windows went abit streaky(water marks)...have not tried as a QD though ive heard varying degrees of success...i did try it on its own mind due so i cannot comment how it would react with a shampoo as well Dodo BTBM and another apprently reacted poorly with it, Duragloss 901/another worked better i would like to try it with the Z7 for comparison though...overall useful stuff for hot weather wont be replacing the usual though however...

and i wouldnt say it smells nice to much either well compared with Z7...

I use some diluted in a spray bottle for car shows etc. to remove any dust and flies that may have attached themselves to the car. So far so good, no swirl marks or scratches and although it leaves a slightly hazy finish in places I found that a good wipe over with Z8 soon gets rid of that and leaves the car gleaming! I also use it heavily diluted as a clay lube.
 
Fine for a quick once over on a car that just needs a quick going over - but i'l stick to foam lance and 2BM for dirty cars.

A wool/waffle/noodle mitt I suspect will trap too much of the dirt when using the ONR - a ponge is handy to leave the dirt on the outside ready to be swiped on the edge of the bucket with the ONR in.

I've been using a zymol sponge for a while now and it hasn't inflicted much swirling - about the same as my previous shmitt's.

Will certainly change car care if it catches on in the UK.
 
Tris well answered for me lol, wash mitt i have heard about grout sponge/z sponge with ONR, but i used the 2BM method with it to lol, i am thinking of getting a z sponge to try, but somehow im thinking i want the Dodo washmitt (name has gone again) losing me marbles today and car covered in dead insects (mainly windscreen stupid things)

do you mind editing the word Z**** to as your technically breaking there Z**** legal ways...

yes matey thats the one lol, basically z**** are a little funny when it comes to using "their name" if your not listed as a partner of the group...
 
I think it does work better with a sponge, less to get caught in the mitt (just how ONR works compared to a mitt)

At the DW Midlands Meet I saw it demo'ed and did say I was going to try it but haven't got round to it yet.
