Dirtier sponge with ONR

[imported_detail1]

I used ONR for the first time tonight in preparation for the winter.

It worked fine except I found that my wash mitt and sponge became dirtier alot quicker than when I use a regular car wash soap. I was using the 2 bucket method.

I am in NY and temp is still in the 60s.



i have just decided that when it drops into the 50s, I am going to a local hand car wash. I will supply them with my own mitt and WW towel.



I am a diabetic and i dont want to get sick washing my car with cold water.



Tonight I used my vacuum/blower to dry each panel after washing with ONR. Using the blower is good but very time consuming bc the diameter of the hose is only about 2 inches.



Would it be ok to do a quick wash with ONR and then let it air dry? I know about water spots but i have to take care of my health and i want to limit the time i spend out in the cold..



thanks

You can always fill your wash bucket with warm/hot water.



Why not just dry it with a WW or MF? It would be much quicker than the blower.

IIRC a lot of people have reported that, and I have certainly found it as well.



As a result I always use the 2BM and if I`m using MF`s I keep a good supply of them at hand and use several as i work around the car. Otherwise, if using a mitt, I just make sure I do a really good job rinsing it out between sections ;)

if you`re going to airdry, I`d suggest buying some distilled water for your ONR mix

It is normal for the mitt or wash pad to get dirtier but it doesn`t affect how ONR works or cause any marring issues. It is more of a cosmetic problem if anything.

thanksNo minerals in the water and you can buy it in most grocery stores.

Do you have a garage so you can wash the car indoors while using ONR with hot/warm water? You can mop the puddles later, but there won`t be much really.

Yes i do have a one car garage but my garage queen car lives in it! I guess I could take her out and then wash my other cars in there w ONR. Good suggestion! Thanks
