Haha ive caught the bug - steviewevie - 23-03-2018
Carpediem why cant people buy proper houses that ahve big gardens, garages and taps!!!!!
Cost !
My house does have an outside tap, but I don't have a driveway. So if I want to wash my car I need to take it to a car park round the back of my house, and run my hose down the garden and over the fence !

that seems different to all the other dry wash stuff ive seen,
the others you spray on a 40cm x 40cm area, leave to activate and then dry off.
^^although i realsie the principle of above is the same, it seems to require more prep work!!

I don't bother using a spray bottle unless it's very dirty. For light dust/pollen in the summer it's fine to go straight from the bucket to paint and then dry. If your car is waxed there won't be much left to dry anyway.
I live in a flat and it really is brilliant stuff, I used to carry about 6 watering cans out to rinse the car after washing. It also helps eliminate water spots as you do 1 panel at a time.

I am too old fashioned it has to be a bucket or two with soap water and a Hose or kararcher.
Would not want to add a spray and wipe off,that to me say's that your dragging the dirt along the paint.
Sorry to those who like this system but its not for me even though it would make my life easier.

I see what you mean, but i have to try and balance things out cus of where i live
id like to fill a bucket of the solution and towel off, but the mothers just told me we cant get a bucket under a tap anywhere in the house except the bath, but we have cream carpets so she not keen on me trailing in/out with buckets of water
What i will do is take a picture of a certain panel whilst it is dirty (my paints already pretty knackered tbf)
then a picture of it after being washed to see if theres any difference, and possibly compare the photos online to see if its made it any worse
if i only do one panel then can limit any potential damage i guess, not that it can get much worse, my paint looks like a psychodelic photo from the 70's

ONR isn't a spray and wipe product, it just eliminates the rinsing process. You still use a bucket filled with water, sponge or mitt and clean the panel, then dry immediately. It's a love or hate product TBH, I love it!
