I know, I have learned my lesson... I used to take my old 350Z (6 speed) there before, never had a problem. That was the reason that I brought my car there and left it.

But I won't do it again...

The clutch in my turbo is crap, feels different all the time, no consistency at engagement height or in feel. if its burned from abuse you will smell it, sometimes for hours. its the biggest let down of the car IMO and the next mod Im going to do to correct the feel and more clamping force to handle the mods.

If they are on say the lower body panels where mud or gravel dust collects, I just have a hard time believing there is no abrasion that occurs.

One of the big claims of this wash is that it suspends dirt in a polymer. I guess that you could almost call it a lubricant. It definitely seems to leave the surface very slick. One of the other keys to this is the use of a quality micro fiber. You have to be very careful about the use of terry cloth because it can easily leave swirls. All I can say about ONR is that some of the biggest names in the business use it. It is raved about by basicly everyone on autopia.org. There are better options out there, but they are going to require substantially more time and a true wash area. One of the main selling points of ONR is that it is so easy to use, and takes so little time, that there is no reason not to do weekly washes.
