Great New Use for Optimum No Rinse Wash

I found a great use for Optimum No Rinse (ONR). One of the problems in a shop environment is compound dust (even the "no dust" will have some powder residue) and getting it off the car before glazing or polishing.



I've tried mf towels (caused scratches), compressed air (only works with loose dust...not the splatter which dries hard on the car's surface), and a time-consuming: lower the car off the rack, move other cars, setup the power washer, wash, dry, bring the car back in and re-rack on the lift...a definite time consumer.



So, I mixed some ONR in a bucket of warm water and used a microfiber to wipe in a single pass and a clean, dry mf to dry. WHAT A NICE, QUICK JOB!



Compound dust is very abrasive and nothing short of a power wash worked before using the ONR.



Now, I'm using it between each step until I apply Meg's #26 and the finish is scratch free.



Just a quick tip for those of you that use compounds.

I might have to give that a try...I've been using #34 for this and reserving the rinseless wash (QEW in this case) for quick cleanups on projects that sit around for weeks while I do them piecemeal.
 
Thats my "bath" method! Something not too dirty, I just use a MF/NRWS in a bucket of water and wipe away before detailing....Great versatile product.
 
I've done that as well on cars that have a lot of compounding dust on them. Usually can get the car 100% dust free and dry in 15 minutes or less.
