Basically they have lots of lubricants in the stuff and the dirt lifts off onto the microfiber.

1 quart is around $20 on amazon. You use 1 oz for 2 gallons

I mix it into a 2 gal garden sprayer and spray it on the car. You can get it nice and wet and I use maybe 1/2-3/4 gallon for the car. I use 1 microfiber to get the dirt off and a 2nd to dry. takes maybe 15 minutes to was and dry the whole car and virtually no water on the ground. you can do it in your garage

I started using this same product after cutting, polishing and waxing. At first my finish was smooth to the touch. When I take the car to work I am forced to park in a very dusty environment and from everything I have read California dusters are not recommended as they can scratch your clear coat. So I made a dilution of ONR and started using that with microfiber cloths. Not only was it far more time consumming to get the dust off but it also seem to leave specs of something on my finish that can easily be felt when you drag your fingers over the car. I have since stopped using it (it works great on glass tho) and now use just straight water and a microfiber cloth for heavy soil areas and the CA duster for basic dust removal. Since I dont drive the car in the rain or on wet roads it seems to be working well for me, but Im watching my clear coat to see if Im reintroducing scratches. Annoying the ONR seems to be either trapping dust or leaving a rough surface on my recently waxed car.
