Not possible. You need a MF towel to lift the dirt and leaf blower will just dry the dirt on the paint.

I thought the solution lifted and trapped the dirt inside itself?? I was thinking it would blow off in the solution??
 
I've never felt the need to blow a car down after using ONR. You need to towel dry to ensure no dirt remains on the paint.

That's what I was afraid of........:wall



Too bad there's not a faster way.........or maybe I just need more practice with the ONR?

ONR should take 25-50% off a conventional wash time - and be easier too, so I would think your process is flawed.
 
If I go super fast I can do an ONR wash in 25 minutes on a well maintained car. This doesn't include dressing or anything. I did my gfs car today and it took quite a bit longer. It was filthy due to a drive up to Whistler for a week and I didn't want to miss any areas.



I tried adding more than the recommend amount of ONR to the mix, as someone had said it has a better cleaning ability for them. I only found it more difficult to completely dry off, and won't be doing that again.



Here's a tip. Dry as you go. Do a panel and then dry it. You cant go directly to a leaf blower because the ONR left on the paint contains it, I imagine that leaf blowing might actually be evaporating some of the ONR, which would leave behind dirt.

Once you get the hang of it, ONR is a very fast way to wash and dry a car.



If we ever have a Dallas meet (been trying more than a year now), I will be glad to demonstrate how easy it really is to use. Honestly, I could have one of my kids do the demonstration!
