That's a good tip, yakky. I guess something with "fingers" would help there.

I think I went from about 30 min to about 10-15 depending on how bad my wheels are, granted I'm washing a mini

I was saying to myself how the perfect car to wash would be something like a hemisphere with wheels...like a mini or VW bug. Just nothing with louvers/inlets or a wing!

Yeah, wheels...ugh. German brake pads are filthy. For me:

Prep(fill bucket, get towels, mit, etc): 5 minutes
Car: 10 minutes
Wheels/Wheel wells:20 minutes

I just bought a Hyunda Accent.

What a delight to detail. Takes no time at all to detail.

I've put a new layer of collinite on 3 weeks in a row. why? because it only takes an hour at best!

I think you've already answered/clarified the answer to the question I'm about to pose, but when you said that it took you 90 minutes to ONR your car--was that your first time using it?

I recently converted to ONRing and my first time took me slightly longer than a traditional presoak & wash : ~90 mins.

2nd ONR wash took me like 35mins.

3rd ONR wash: 25 mins.
After the initial learning curve, the process is usually quicker than a traditional wash, as I'm sure you've learned

. And the results are outstanding. I love it for my weekly/maintenance washes, plus my in-between-polishing stages etc washes. The gloss is great, too

I have ONR and the DP Rinsless product as well. I bought the grout sponge from
Lowe's. I use 1 bucket and I have never had a problem. My Wife was telling me
the other day how our water bill has gone down.
I like the stuff.

I would hate to go through a winter without ONR. I remember trying to wash my vehicles with cold temps and howling winds. Seemed like your hands would never thaw out. Sure would hate to go back to those days.

Am I the only one who washes the whole car then dries it when using ONR, this method has proved to be quick and flawless thus far.

I do 1/2, but no reason you can't do the whole car if its out of the sun.

Just got another gallon of ONR from the UPS truck today for my in-the-garage winter washings. Once I use up my remaining traditional washes it will be rinseless washes from now on. I still have 16 ounces of CG's rinseless I wash I need to try out. Once I try it I will post a review of it.

Winter does not exist here, but still use ONR, since I am not fully mobile(I still need to customer's water to do my job. In exchange, I charge a little less) and my customers are happy so far. I got a gallon of the DP Rinseless on VIP sale($27.99) and can't wait to try it
