I`ve been using ONR for about a month since I got it. It`s much more convenient, and I`ll be using ONR for the majority of my washes from now on. The only thing is that tires/wheelwells are hard to clean with ONR, but that`s not a major problem.
Anyway, here`s the thing: When I mix up my ONR solution in my "soap" bucket, the water is quite bluish. I use 1oz per 2 gallons. I have the newer formulation, which smells really good, and I think it`s slightly more viscous. I also use a rinse bucket filled about 2 gallons as well, with a grit guard. As I do multiple ONR solution->rinse->ONR solution and so on, I find that my ONR solution color becomes lighter and lighter. I`m wondering whether my 2 bucket method is diluting my ONR solution and possibly causing more marring. I can`t tell whether there`s more marring because I have some marring on the car paint already, and it`s hard to say for sure whether this is causing more.
Now I`ve heard of people like Scottwax using only 1 gallon ONR solution in a single bucket wash method. I`ve always wondered how it`s humanely possible to use 1 gallon/1 bucket and not cause marring. But now as I think of it, maybe it`s because the concentration of his ONR solution is the same, whereas with the 2 bucket, the ONR solution becomes more and more diluted as I continue rinsing between each panel. What do you guys think?
BTW, I use a micro-chenille mitt from Target. I generally try to squeeze out as much water as I can after rinsing, but the mitt is fairly absorbent..
