Re: Benefit to ONR and pressure washer?

I kinda do that... Hmm.. how to explain without getting too wordy...

I use the same philosophy with washing as I do with polishing: least aggressive method first.

1. Touchless. High pressure rinse, foam cannon, high pressure spray. This knocks off the big stuff, the stuff large enough to cause really nasty marring during a conventional wash.

2. If there's still crap on the paint, go up one level in aggression: BHB. Foam cannon, followed by dripping wet BHB. This gets even more stuff off, again using the least aggressive method.

3. Still stuff? Whatever is left is really small. I'll normally do an ONR wash at this point instead of a traditional wash. *IMO* doing an ONR wash on paint that has been washed according to steps one and two first is safer than doing a "two bucket method" or other equivalent "traditional" wash.
