Only second to oil for the liquid gold ranking :)

Not an ATL but great price nonetheless - You can definitely get this pricematched at your local SCA or Repco for convenience.

  How does this stack against ONR rinseless?

    Unless there's something in ONR rineless that will deter boss gloss I'd say the result would be like if you had used it with any other washing product. Essentially you're using it as a drying aid / finishing spray, spray and wipe after washing.

    Test it on a small area first and see how you go.

    I'd recommend buying it anyways for that price, I keep it in my boot with a microfibre cloth as a quick bird poop remover - works wonders!

      Thanks, the reason I ask is I reckon you get better value through making your own detailing spray from ONR (which gets lots of great reviews)

      Onr can be used for many purposes (you dilute it for different purposes e.g. as a wash, as a clay bar lubricant, as a detailer). The dilution for detailing is 1:16, so you'd use about 45ml of onr to make 770ml of detailing spray. Its currently $18 for 236ml on Amazon - which makes about 5x 770ml spray bottles of detailing solution, coming in at $3.6/spray bottle of detailer.

      It also goes on sale occasionally, I got a 1L for $30, which makes 22x spray bottles - $1.36/bottle.

        Does ONR contain anything hydrophobic? I.e. Bowdens recommends using Boss Gloss as a drying aid as it does not make your drying towels hydrophobic, yet their actual drying aid after glow will make your drying towels hydrophobic so they become useless if you do not was them straight away.

          @Torch: Drying towels ? You can just use a leaf blower.

          @Torch: AFAIK ONR is just a pure cleaner and does not contain any protectants that adhere to the paint after wiping off, so it is perfect to use as a drying aid among the other uses mentioned above

        That's actually a good idea, I'll check out ONR.

        I guess Boss gloss was so cheap and lasted me so long I didn't think to find a dilutable alternative because I personally have a few bulk solutions that I dilute - personally recommended from commerical AUS detailers for their value.

        Mckees N-914 is also a great option for a highly dilutable detail spray/drying aid/clay lube. The dilutions are something crazy like 1:128 for clay lube or 1:256 for detail spray so I've literally had the same small bottle for years, easily the best value for money

  This stuff is pretty great.
  I used it to detail my car for selling. I’m not totally sure what voodoo magic it uses, but if the car is washed and clean it brings up a really nice shine.

  If the paintwork is in reasonable condition, I’ve used instead of any polishing products.
