Anyone ever use AW while drying ONR wash?

[kkreit01]

This is more of a "procedure" vs. product question, so I thought I`d post it here. From another thread, it appears that most use AW dry. However, I use it wet --- while drying. That got me to thinking....Would it be OK to use AW while drying an ONR wash? Let`s say it`s 50-55 degrees in the garage. Is it too cold for AW? Would AW mix OK with the ONR solution being wiped off, or would this be a waste of AW? Just curious.



(Now I wouldn`t be asking this question if Spring/Summer would ever arrive here. It`s supposed to get down to 10 tomorrow night!)

I do this but I dry/remove ONR first then apply AW to the panel. I`m not sure that temperature bothers AW much. Now humidity may be a different story.



A bit off topic but I usually spritz the panels with AW when removing other LSP`s like Poli-Seal or Collinite. I`m not sure that it does much but I like to do it. :xyxthumbs

Dry the panel and then apply AW.



AW is great to remove any streaks or water that you missed when drying.



You loose this if you apply it wet.

kkreit01,



I have used AW while drying an ONR wash many times. It works fine and the only time I have seen streaking was in extreme humidity conditons. I don`t think that will be much of a problem in Kansas. I have used the procedure in temperatures below 50 without any problem. Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your input. Time is always a factor for me. Thus, I like to use AW while drying. There`s never much water on the car when I use it. I will attempt this tonight -- before a road trip this weekend. Humidity is currently not a problem.

Both AW and OCW work well this way.

If I was using AW with an ONR wash, I`d dry the panel first then use AW only because unless you`ve completely dried the panel after an ONR wash, who knows what`s still left behind that can possibly mar. I don`t get why people have this idea that ONR will simply take all the dirt that was once on their car and magnetically make it stick to their wash media in a few simple swipes. While a majority of the dirt is absorbed/carried away by whatever wash media you`re using, the ONR wash water left over on the car is still "suspending" the dirt particles that didn`t get picked up.



If I do a traditional wash, my drying towel for the most part comes out wet, but clean. But when I do an ONR wash, there are some dirty spots on my drying towel.

maybe you are doing something wrong

when I do an ONR wash I have a clean drying towel

I tried it, and it worked great. This time, I ONR`d the whole car -- in garage at about 50 degrees. I then used AW while drying each panel from top down -- with VROOM drying towel. The result was great, and it took <30 min total for the wash/wax/dry.
