ONR and the mobile detailer

Is ONR a good product for the mobile detailer?
I know Scottwax uses it but I see alot of dirty trucks and SUVs where I am. I have to use my pressure washer alot.
How is it on bugs and brake dust?
I can see how would save me time due to washing and drying in almost the same step.

Let me know guys. Trying to get geared up for winter too.

If you make a spray bottle of QD conncentration of ONR it will clean up pretty bad bugs and brake dust. Ive switched to using mostly ONR washes since I find it alot easier and you dont have to worry about water dripping for hours after your done drying. Doesnt get caught up in moldings like you do with a regular hose. It takes me about 5-10 minutes longer to wash the vehicle but I make it up in the time it take to dry and remove water from the moldings.

How dirty is TOO dirty?
And what type of mitts/sponges are the best to use?
Two-bucket method?

This whole process is still like rocket science to me I've read all the threads but it scares me to even think I'm washing a car with one bucket, or two buckets, or a bug sprayer...anything besides running water, can someone take a second and run down how this works, how it doesnt scratch, swirl etc?

I always prefer to use my pressure washer and bucket method to wash but I am never dissapointed by the ONR wash.

Thanks everyone. Thanks Scott for posting that pic! Pretty dirty. No pre-rinse I presume.

I just can't see this working on black, or blue or something as far as swirls go...I'm assuming when you guys use a pressure washer your somehow getting it to just suck water out of buckets, can you post what your using? I live in an apartment with no running water outside

I use it on all color cars and it works out just well. No scratches, just use a rinse bucket just incase you're afraid.
