ONR is fantastic. I’m a fan now of the 1-bucket, lots of rags method. Fill bucket with ONR and a dozen or so rags. I’ll hose off the panel (yah, ONR doesn’t require it, but I’ll do it anyway), grab a rag, wipe it down, discard rag.
At the end, I’ll dry and use hyperseal as a drying aid.
You’re also in FL. I don’t recall which part, but I feel many of the vehicles down there don’t get real dirty… outside of waters spots and dust lol. Same for rock chips (or lack thereof)
I assume you’re referring to microfiber rags and discarding is throwing “to be washed”. I’ve yet to find a rag that is just as good after it has been washed. Some are obviously better than others, but nothing beats a fresh/new rag.
I’d still be curious to see a truly dirty car before & after using something like ONR. NO swirls or scratches?
Currently in Florida, but spent many years living in the high desert in CA, so lots of dirt and dust was a common thing. But yes, not much in the way of salt/ice build up, etc, but I know plenty of people that use it for those situations. I’d definitely use a hose to dislodge as much of that as possible first though.
Correct on discarding into the to be washed pile.
I’ve never had a swirl or scratch issue when being mindful of how I’m using ONR. Lots of professional detailers use it for a reason.
I think you guys may have me sold haha. I’ll have to grab a bottle of the ONR and give it a try. Does it wipe/dry fairly well or can it be streaky, like with detail sprays & wax-as-you-dry products?
For argument’s sake, if a hose is out and water is sprayed onto the vehicle…why not just do a traditional wash/rinse/dry. 
I often will, using ONR as my soap.
Interesting.
My favorites have always been Meguiars Ultimate (used for over a decade, keeps foam, washes well and leaves a great finish for soap only) and CG’s Maxi Suds II (great for foam gun and smells good 
).
If I use a foam cannon, I’ll use a different soap. Other than that, the ONR is great. You can also get the ONR wash and wax that makes life super easy. Definitely not streaky or anything like that.
One thing I just thought of that newbies will want to remember with pressure washers: whenever swapping out tips, do a test spray AWAY from the car unless you want to risk having a nice fat dent in your car caused by an unsecured tip.
And don’t get 1" away from the paint with the tip trying to remove bugs, tar, etc. You will (at some point) remove paint… especially if there is already any sort of break in the surface.
Loose tips sink ships
@mllcb42 you are the one who sold me on ONR.
I use it in CA and it works splendidly. I have tried pressure washing using it too if it’s really dirty. Given that I hate dealing with wheels, pressure washer using ONR on those work well.
I did the two bucket method then I saw the one bucket with lots of rags and it cut down the time significantly. I also tried big red sponge and that I felt uncomfortable with.
Yah, im not a big fan of the big red sponge. The multiple rag option is so easy
One bucket with a grit guard works fine with common sense. Hundred rag method seems like extra work to me.
Wheels are definitely the worst things to clean, outside of a bug-plastered front end that’s baked on for a week.
Agreed. regular sponges are a no-go for nice vehicles. I like the microfiber (finger?) sponges.
The amount of work for me to wash 2 rags and 20 rags is the same
I like the ultra black foam sponge from TRC.
It has these squares that trap the dirt. So far so good and follow it up with clay scrubber and ONR to clay lube dilution every few washes.
BUT it’s a lot more messing around during the cleaning process
And like I said, I would prefer to not wash my microfiber…really changes the rag 
Cleaning a rag after using it to make sure you get all the crap out, rinsing it, etc isnt less work than simply grabbing a clean rag from the bottom of the bucket.
If the dirty rag never goes back in the bucket, there’s no risk of contaminating the clean water either.
Grit guard prevents scooping up (most of) the sediment at the bottom of the bucket. Grabbing a clean rag isn’t the start-finish of the process though 
.
Still seems like more work of grabbing a fresh rag, tossing the rag, putting the rag into a washer/dryer, then putting the rag back in it’s place.
Ring the wash mitt, let it dry and you’re done.
Two bucket method may work very well for the more extreme cases, but otherwise one bucket is fine. I’ve owned/washed numerous vehicles, in rather extreme cases, and the end result is similar (in terms of preventing swirls/paint correction).
When i wash my car and use a wash mit, etc, i always wash the mit, drying towel, any other rags when im done anyway, and i do them in a load by themselves. So tossing in extra rags to a load i would be doing regardless is no extra work at all. When im done, they all go back into my bin o’ wash rags.
