Car Detailing - What products are your go to?

P&S Swift sounds about right for me.
I think I’ll also try some ONR as it seems super versatile.
Could I use that to wipe down lightly soiled chassis and suspension components and engine bays?


Either by just laying under it with a damp cloth or on a hoist.

Absolutely!!

I use ONR all the time for engine bay cleaning or wipe overs.



The great thing with rinse-less products when dealing with areas you can't completely remove the residue from, they don't cause any damage if left to dry on the surface.

In this case, I applied APC as a pre-soak, agitated then flushed with ONR at 256:1 to remove the APC residue. A quick wipe over what I could reach, I called it good.





ONR was the original rinse-less wash, and it's gone through a few revisions since, the latest v5 launched early 2023.

For your application for underbody cleaning, I would do it at 128:1. I would also suggest getting a Pro-Blend or Carpro dispensing cups, and maybe an IK or Marolex pump sprayer -
