What did you do to your Integra Type S today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[dmd2005]

Washed with ONR, wiped down with Gyeon Prep, and layered on some Kamikaze Miyabi Coat and ISM Coat. Letting it sit in the garage for the next couple of days to cure.

Assuming you do have access to a hose, explain to me the science why you'd choose to use ONR over a traditional water-based wash formula? Especially as part of a pre-ceramic prep routine...

I have a bottle sitting in my garage from 4 years ago, unopened. I just can't mentally break through the barrier of using ONR on one of my vehicles, even in the winter months.

It’s been raining daily for the last week here and I don’t have time in the following weeks to wash and ceramic coat the car. My ITS was not too dirty so did an ONR wash Saturday night and prepped/ceramic coated on Sunday. I would have washed it normally if weather cooperated this weekend with foam cannon and hand wash. I haven’t done an ONR for years and wouldn’t use it if my car was really dirty.

The mental block is a tough one - I was there for years but finally took the plunge a few months ago when I picked the integra. I tell myself: just gotta trust the science behind it.

I use Absolute P&S rinseless though, not ONR. I've done a handful of rinseless on the car now and don't see any swirls. It's got its limitations though so it's better for a weekly-biweekly maintenance wash. Being that you're coated, you should be able to knock a lot of the stuff off with a hose with a pre-rinse.

Granted, you'll probably say "since you already have the hose out, why not just do a traditional wash?." For me, rinseless is just so much quicker. It's like you're just wiping a panel at a time and I can do it even if it's blazing hot out -- I live in Southern Califoria.

I can knock out a rinseless (no wheels) in just a little over a half hour and that time saved I use to spend more time with the kiddos.

With rinseless wash I just fill up a pump sprayer then spray down and wipe off the car. I can do it at any time of the day without even needing a hose or a bucket.

I usually spray and wipe down the car at night, inside the garage with the doors closed, about once a week or so.

Yeah it's become a chore to break out the pressure washer and buckets every week, for both mine and my wife's cars. Also where my driveway is oriented I have a small window between about 6:45 and 8:15pm where my driveway is not in direct sunlight.

It feels close, maybe someday soon I'll actually try it... but yeah I'm also thinking of trying the AMMONYC kit with the pump sprayer, seems like a little more peace of mind would be added.

That’s where I was at. I have all the gear as well but I got tired of the rigamerole.

I use an IK Multi Pro 2 sprayer as a pre rinse spray when I do my rinseless.

Same here, very early morning or late evening. Rest of the day is full sun.

I wont take out the pressure washer at 6am so as not to wake up our house and the neighbors.

Hose is right there and always connected. Make the solution, hose the car, rinseless wash, dry. <30 minutes.

Washed my black FK8 (PPF/ceramic) this way for 5.5yrs, no swirl or scratches.

Eibach Pro Kit springs & alignment is all. I was trying to avoid springs or coilovers really, but I'll rock them for now & see if I keep them or start wondering again...

Having issues loading pics on the forum AGAIN. Will update with them asap - until then, you get a video walk around.

I know a lot of people are against the V2 spoiler but I think it works great with your car. It's pulled off well with the meaty tires and lowered stance.

Looking sexy. I need to get my badges and spoiler installed...

I haven’t installed it yet, but I ordered white line lower ball joints that I plan to install in next few weeks. This car is slowly becoming a massive drain on my wallet…. But I can’t help it….

Illuminated A to match the rest of the gloss black emblems. I figured since I was taking the bumper off already, might as well put this one in. I was little apprehensive it would look tacky but it looks really nice at night.

Thanks! It's definitely an acquired taste type of spoiler I think, but it does compliment the rest of the kit well also. I'm glad it's not tacky and still oem+ look, even if it's right on the border of it.

My v2 spoiler came in. Hoping to install soon. looking forward to a little aggression out back!
