The power of ONR - pics attached
So it was a warm 28 degrees today with a 14 degree windchill. Sounds like perfect weather to clean the car after a couple of months of winter and salt here in NY. Here's a few pics displaying the power of ONR in these extreme weather conditions:
Here's some befores showing just how dirty the car was. A complete disaster with dirt and salt galore: Now to get to work. With this much gunk on the car, it's important to do a presoak with ONR at a highly concentrated dilution: Using the two bucket method with warm water (one rinse bucket and one with ONR solution). Home Depot Grout Sponge also being used And here's some 50/50 shots of ONR at work: After a few panels, the water began to freeze on the car. So I pulled it into he garage and continued work. And here's the afters: The process left no marring, swirls or scratches of any kind. I checked under halogens just to make sure Thanks for looking

It is a good thing I bought this stuff last week, but was a little skeptical at first.

Another ONR believer.
I am going on 3 weeks without a wash right now. Normally, I'd ONR, but I feel like it's too damn cold even for an ONR wash. Nice to see some inspiration.

Thanks for all the kind words. ONR can be used anytime of the year and in pretty much any temperature. It's so easy to use, you'll want to use it all year round anyway.
I'm running low, so I think I'll pick up some more from George before the sale is over.

I love ONR. One of the greatest products out there. I ordered the 128oz. jug from George at detailed image. Smart idea with the presoak!! I have done this in the past on a really dirty car. I try and get over to the touch free and use a low mist on the car first to get rid of the major debris. Then pull it into the garage, let it "thaw out" for a couple of hours then use ONR. Seems to work best for me. Also, good idea to have a dedicated wash mitt for ONR since it gets so dirty!!

FMINUS uses it all the time. If it is good enough for him, it's good enough for me!

Today, despite the cold, I ONR-ed my wheels and wheel wells. Also polished the exhaust tips. It's supposed to snow over the next few days, so I didn't bother washing the whole car, but I couldn't stand the brake dust or soot any longer.

Probably a dumb question, but why use a rinse bucket? I thought it's "no rinse."
I do love the stuff, though. I use a garden sprayer w/ONR to pre-soak.

I find that a grit guard and a Lowe's grout sponge works great. I've never had any marring issues with ONR, and I have a black car and halogens, so I'd definitely notice.

As for the rinse bucket, I do it as a precautionary measure. It's not required. I actually refreshed both buckets half way through mostly because of the amount of crap on my car. This also is not required, but not a bad idea when the car is very dirty like mine was.
