ONR Dilution for Pre-rinse

[merlin3008]

Hey all...So I'm in the middle of the Midwest winter which mean no outdoor washing for me. After a snow storm, I typically go to a self spray car wash and just use water to get off the salt and sand. I was thinking I'd spray the lower panels of the car down with ONR first to loosen up as much crud as possible. Anyone do this? What dilution should I go with? I'll be mixing in a standard trigger bottle.

Thanks.

I think I'd use the standard 256:1.

I always pre-rinse with the wash solution that's in the bucket for the RW. If you wanna be "extra safe", add another ounce of product to the bucket[emoji362][emoji118]

I use the solution from the wash bucket also. The standard 1:256.

With ONR at least I heard Yvan say when he was working for them that More isnt better, if anything less is better when it comes to ONR

I pre rinse with the standard ONR dilution.

I have a garden sprayer filled with a mix of 128:1 for pre-rinsing. I'm sure my logic is flawed, but I just figured a higher concentration of the juice would "ENCAPSULATE" amd "EMULSIFY" better to start.

LOL silly me. Am I just wasting product? It's not like it takes a lot of product anyway...

That garden sprayer is clutch. I can get around the whole car pretty quickly and get great coverage while using as little as possible. $10 at Home Depot!

I do the exact same thing with the exact same Home-Cheapo sprayer.

Works mint!

Same here for me in the Burgh, when wife's gets home, I get my gallon sprayer out spray the sides let it set then turn the hose on.
I let it set thing bring car in.

Are any of you guys here looking for a stronger RW for the pre-treating process or stronger RW in general[emoji848]

I'm assuming (probably incorrectly) that they all have basically the same ability to remove dirt, but that the main difference between brands is the finish they leave behind. Does that sound right?

I only started RW in the fall so I'm pretty much a newbie, and I haven't paid attention to how ONR feels after. Each time I did a RW I followed up with Ultimate Quik Wax anyway. I love that stuff!

If you have one in mind to suggest, please share with us.

If I feel a stronger pre-rinseless wash treatment is necessary, I will use diluted Optimum Power Clean instead of ONR. It works great without damaging the paint, but given its higher pH of 11, it may degrade waxes or sealants.
