ONR (sorry)

I'm almost ready to take the plunge on ONR, but I'm having a hard time with the Kool-aid so I want to throw this out to our the detailers of the forum or anyone else who has highpower lights.

I want to see under lights what a dirty panel looks like after it has been washed with ONR. The key to this is that the panel must be free of scratches/marring prior to it getting dirty so a recently detailed car would be a requirement.

I REALLY want to jump on board with this, but I really don't want to experiment on my JB 3-series.

Takes? Anyone?

I'm not a detailer and can't help you with the shots (although I really like your idea). However, before I use ONR I take my car through a touchless wash to get the majority of the dirt and grit off the car first and then I'll use the ONR in my heated garage. It's clearly not the best way to wash a car, but in winter it's good enough for me and it seems to work pretty well like that. I'll get a professional detail and paint correction in the spring, but I'm not seeing very much in the way of additional swirls using this method.
