    ??? My car does not see the rain. So I use a quality 2.5 gallon pump sprayer with ONR.... Spray my car down and wipe with a quality MF towel rinsing the towel in a 5 gallon bucket of clean water if needed.



    Is their any way I can use my air compressor to do the same thing? I have limited knowledge about air compressors. Thanks

    Do you mean, could you remove the ONR with the air compressor rather than a towel? Based on MY experience with ONR/QEW, you would probably have some dirt residue in very specific lines where the air caused the ONR to dry before it was blown off the car, but I can`t see how it would hurt to try... Try it and let us know!

    You could put the ONR solution in a paint sprayer instead of the 2.5 gallon spray pump

    Thats what I had in mind. Is there a gun or wand that would pull ONR out of a container and spray it on the car?

    You could use this tool with your air compressor. It siphons whatever liquid you drop the pickup hose in. There also another tool harbor frieght selsl thats like the foam gun but just does the same thing like this tool in the picture.

    is there any point in all the extra effort?



    I use a pump sprayer for ONR at QD strength, as a kind of pre-soak ahead of a 2BM ONR wash, but I dont see the point in spraying it on under pressure?

    I use the tool recommended by Jesse above for degreaser and APC, mostly shooting the far reaches of the engine compartment. It works great with my compressor. Don`t see why it wouldn`t apply ONR just as well.

    i think the reason why he wants to use a compressor is not for the pressure but rather to make it so you dont have to waste time pumping the sprayers

    Exactly. I ended up getting a Wagner Power Sprayer that pumps ONR from a 1 Gallon container I hold in my left hand and the sprayer in the right hand. Works great.
