Fighting streaks with ONR in hot-weather conditions?

Any input to fight getting streaks on jet black cars with ONR in hot weather conditions?



I'm drying the panel before the ONR solution dries on the paint with two of heavy (I wanna say 530 gram microfibers). Two towels, one to do a wet wipe, then another to do the final dry wipe, but still getting streaks on some black cars :(



I have one really fluffy (I wanna guess 600 gram) microfiber towel that my helper says worked much better, but am having trouble finding a place to order these really fluffy microfibers in a large towel size (25" x 36" would be nice). I've been measuring out the ONR solution/water ratio as best I can and still getting streaks. Also, using Reverse Osmosis water :-/



Any additional input? At this point, it seems like the drying media is making the biggest difference for streaks vs. no streaks.



I need to get a system down that works 100% of the time, perfectly, because I'm gearing up to really try and push the ONR Eco-Washes on my weekly wash route.
 
Have you tried dealing with the streaks using a QD? The only way to really lessen the chance for streaks is to reduce the concentration of ONR, not something you really want to do....
 
Doing in direct sunlight. Kinda have to with a lot of these mobile washes. I've tried both V3 and the Wash & Wax to the same effect. I almost want to say that V3 is less streaky than Wash and Wax.
 
Any way you can get a folding canopy to set up for these washes? I use a 10x10 that I can set up and take down pretty easily by myself for some shade. Only cost $60 at one of those job lot stores and works great.
 
When I have a difficult one I follow up with a spray bottle of ONR mixed with distilled water. But ultimately a black car in direct sun is going to be very difficult to completely avoid it... just evaporates too quick.
 
Use a surface temp gun, I've used onr to around 155 degrees, as soon as I touch the surface with the wet towel I get about 20 degree drop in temp. It steams at first, but if you work in small sections you shouldn't have any streaking issues.
