I like to be as frugal as possible.


 


I used ONR 3 days ago for my car wash.  I never threw out the extra ONR solution but its been sitting in the wash bucket under my garage for the past 4 days. 


 


I've washed my mitt and was wondering if its still safe and good for washing my car using my previously used ONR solution?
 
mystickid- Is it contaminated?  IF so, I'd be wary, if NOT I'd go ahead and use it.  Easy for me to say I guess, I never put used wash media back into the bucket so my rinseless wash never gets contaminated.
 
From what I've been told by OPT distributors, you will run out of product in the bucket before it's "too dirty" to use. The product has dirt sinking properties, so when using a grit guard, the dirt should not be mixed back in the cleaning solution. Only some mild coloration of the water will occur. So I would say go ahead and use it like it was a freshly mixed batch.
 
I usually use my leftovers to wash the exterior windows of my home. It's been a dusty, pollen filled summer.
 
It will be fine. I've actually filtered mine using a coffee filter. After a while it gets grease loaded.

I keep my leftovers for pre-soaking.
 
Thanks guys. I will have some use for it. I felt it was so wasteful to just throw out the remaining 2.5 gallons on ONR in the bucket.
 
mystickid- Note that if the blue color goes away and it looks clear, that's *not* a sign that it's gone bad.  Rinseless washes eventually seem to loose their coloring if they sit (mixed/diluted) long enough, but it's never signaled a *functional* change IME.
