Just had a couple quick questions:

1) Can ONR be pre-mixed and used at a later date or does it need to mixed before each use? For example, mixing a gallon of clay lube or detailer and then using it for months down the road?

2) If I use ONR with distilled water only, will it dry spotless if I don't MF towel dry it?

Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem, just keep it sealed in a cool place. Use common sense, if after some time goes by and it doesn't look good if it smells bad then maybe mis some fresh product. It''s not a food product it's cleaning chemicals so again, it shouldn't be a problem.



2) If I use ONR with distilled water only, will it dry spotless if I don't MF towel dry it?

No. You're mixing a type of soap/cleaner. There is chemical substance in the water and if you don't wipe it off you will have the residue on the paint. Now if you mix distilled water only with distilled water only, then that should be okay as there won't be any chemical substance in it, but I would still wipe it off.

Got it, thanks!

While I have you, one more...

I usualy wash with Dawn to strip all wax before a detail. Now that I am using ONR instead, can I rely on a paint cleaner like DC Step 1 Paint Cleaner to remove any remaining old wax/sealant?

TIA

Pre mixing ONR will cause the blue color to turn pale in a few weeks, but the product still works fine.
