Old Spice body wash, anything else would be uncivilized!! LOL
All jokes aside I have heard that some detail shops use Joy dish soap to remove all wax, etc. That way they have a clean slate to start with on a full out detail. Wax if in rain, polish if kept dry, or with an older car start clean with compound etc. if the paint is in bad shape and oxidized.

ONR is the only thing I use unless I need to strip a car down.

I love ONR, it was amazing when I lived in an apartment. But now with a house and a pressure washer the foam gun is where it's at. I swear I have like a gallon of ONR left somewhere... but I may have thrown it out before moving to SC

How much for the digital's

Do you use a mitt with the ONR? I've been using grout sponges for as long as I can remember but wouldn't mind switching so I don't use a sponge once and toss it in the garbage

Yea, a good MF wash mitt lasts me quite a while with ONR.

Yeah a good mit, two buckets and grit guards

Someone knows how to clean their ride

Generally after I do a high end detail for customers, assuming they are local and interested, I give them their first wash free and show them how to clean it well. Most people are blown away at how well that method works.

C&C is held in the "back" parking lot at Michelin HQ on Pelham Rd. Once you turn down the side road there are bright green signs pointing the way
