Using ONR in a conventional wash

[rzatch]

Seems like this would be useful in a hot climate where the soap drys up and you have no time to rinse. I might try this out this summer

Not sure how this would help. If your talking about not having time to rinse then a NRW would help but the post was about adding it to a conventional wash. So you still have to rinse because your using soap. Unless I`m missing your intent.

Maybe I went a little off topic, but I was adding on to what Chris@Optimum was saying about using this instead of soap since you do not have to rinse it off...

Honestly guys, as the person that asked the question, and from the responses here, I can`t see an overwhelming reason to do this. I think I`ll just stick with conventional washings and my various soaps I find effective. I`ll save the ONR for the other great things it has been discovered for....

Try it, if you dont like it or dont notice any difference then you dont need to add ONR to your regular wash.

I plan to....just commenting I have not seen a real good reason to buy it (for this) and add it to my regimen....but going to the keys in a few weeks where I will want to do some waterless washes so it`s all good to have it...

I agree with you Glen if you use a quality soap your most likely not going to have a problem or notice a difference. That`s assuming all other things being equal like good washing procedures and all.

You will probably notice a huge difference only if you have hard water, other then that you may not notice a whole lot using a good quality soap.

I tried it in soap and the only effect was a reduction in suds. I did not feel any obvious differences in lubricity or cleaning but then cleaning ability really depends on how much soap you use. That is, if you need more cleaning power you just add more car wash soap. For most ph balanced soaps, you do not increase loss of LSP (stripping).

So if using a good quality soap and going on what Todd has stated about quality soaps having polymers and gloss enhancers already built in. Adding more soap is essentially the same as adding ONR to the wash water. So if you need added lubricity and cleaning you have two choices add ONR and loose the suds or add more soap and keep the suds and in the end end up with basically the same thing. I would also think that a good quality soap also has some water softening qualities to it.

That`s right there is probably reason enouh for me to try it.

I usually add 1/2 oz to my 4-5 Gallon wash bucket. As her in Ohio our water is crazy hard...
At times I also add 1/2 oz to my rinse bucket as well.

Hard water here as well, I use it to soften the water. I`ve never had a problem with my media getting "sticky" especially now that I use the LC sponge.

I had an interesting situation this morning. I put an ounce of BF diamond wash in my gun and added two cap fulls of ONR. It KILLED the foam making ability....sound right?

ONR has always reduced suds on any soap I have used. I also insure I rinse out buckets after ONR to keep the next regular wash also get affected.

i recently used some DP rinseless wash & gloss as a conditioner in a regular wash. i really liked it. seemed to help float some of the dirt and grime away. it left a nice slick finish after the rinse.

Started using ONR (only) washes in cold weather, but am finding it great for hot weather given my hard water and fast drying issues - obviously using it for most of my washes now.
