First Time Using Onr..i Love This Stuff!!!

Ive been hearing great things about Optimum No Rinse and had to give it a try myself. First thing I will say is WOW, I LOVE IT! I used three capfuls to about a half bucket of water, then fill a second bucket with plain water to rinse, I used a "grout sponge" I got for free from Autogeek which came in handy, and then I used a DD Waffle Weave Towel and a Cobra Deluxe Jr for the drying process. This was my first time using the product and it was a breeze, Im sure it will come even easier to me as I begin to use it more!

Thanks to Scottwax for all the informational videos and posts on how to use this stuff!

Tools:
2 Buckets
1 Grit Guard
1 Grout Sponge
1 WW Drying Towel
1 COBRA Deluxe Jr
Combined 5 gallons of water

Process:
Fill each bucket about half way.
Mix 2-3 capfuls of ONR into ONE bucket.
Take Grout Sponge, Soak into ONR bucket.
Wash one panel going over it a couple times to ensure it is clean.
Rinse Grout Sponge in Rinse Bucket.
Dry panel lightly using WW Drying Towel, leaving some moisture behind.
Follow this with a few wipes using a quality MF Towel until dry.
Repeat process on entire car.

I took a few after pictures, the car was relatively clean but hadnt been washed in a couple weeks. Unfortunately I did not get any before pictures, but lets just say it wasnt wacko clean. So heres some pics after my first ONR wash, the last protection was put on about a month or so ago, two coats of Lusso.

PICS:
Rinse Bucket on Left, ONR Bucket on Right, this stuff works!


This is AFTER the wash, notice no contaminants whatsoever!


Notice ALL the dirt is in the rinse bucket, not on the car or solution bucket!


Now the car..

I used ONR all summer due to water restrictions and I do not plan on using the tradional soap again.
