ONR use question

Why is it recommended to only wash one panel and then dry, it does not dry rapidly and I can do several doors or a side with no problem, am I missing something?

I love it for spot cleanup like when you get some mud splash on a lower panel and don't want to wash the whole car but want to touch up appearance.

As long as it's not drying, there shouldn't be any reason why you can't do more than one panel at a time. Just be careful because you might still be seeing liquid on your car, but some of that liquid might have already evaporated or drained off your car. If that's the case, whatever's left might have concentrated amounts of dirt trapped in it. If that's the case, you're better wiping it off sooner before the concentration begins.

It all depends how hot it is outside. I've had days where I was washing outside and I could barely get one panel done before it dried. Other days, I could probably do the whole car without drying and go back and get it all later.

it makes sense to remove the spots before they dry. I always chase a No Rinse cleaning with FK 146 cleaning detailer (good antistatic properties). I notice the towel is always a little dirty after the 146 wipe down, you have to be good about wiping away the dirt after using No Rinse. I don't always do the best job even though on the surface it looks clean. 146 is a good catch all and leaves a slick surface. Then a spray wax like Optimum or Aqua Wax every other wash but always finish with 425.
Sound like a allot but since they are all sprays it takes only 20 minutes and I don't touch the car between washes.

There's anti-static properties in ONR. so you can also use the ONR QD mix as another option.
