Uber rinseless - Presoak or not to Presoak. How do you use it?

[TTQ B4U]

Pre-soak the whole vehicle or just one panel at a time?? Thanks!

depends on the area. I pre soak the entire vehicle and can do so. if it was really hot like out in Vegas or Florida, I'm not sure it would stay wet and you might have to go panel by panel.

I soak the whole car and then use a handful of really nice MF rags soaking wet with solution to keep the passes clean as the dirt is litterally pushed and flushed away.

I alway pre-soak and use the GD method. Any left over solution stays in a bucket with a Gamma lid for the next wash.

You can pre soak the whole vehicle first thanks to the distilled water?

Yes. Just be aware that even though it's distilled, if left to dry, the polymers will leave spots that need wiped away.

Can you only save the left overs of you used distilled water or doesn't it matter? How long will the left over rinseless be good?

Yes. If it's untouched and clean, you can save it. I keep 2.5 gal containers of it mixed up and have them for weeks with no issues. Some separation might occur but you just need to mix it up again.

I would love to and that is the product I was after as I plan on coating my car too. But, Meguiars Middle east has stopped stocking D114 due to lack of demand. It was available last year as a friend bought it.

Second best option was ONR, which is not expensive compared to Uber and ONR is available locally for $40 a gallon.

EDIT: I just realised ONR costs $40 on AG too! Win

That is unfortunate they dropped D114. It's such a great product with wide range usages; more effective than most other multipurpose chems. I feel my vehicles stay dust-free longest than all of others carried here. Bold statement, but I stand by it. lol

There is a silver lining with your situation - ONR is quite good at staying put in warmer temps. I've found the solution to remain longest out of all other rinseless I've sampled; allowing ample time to work your way around the vehicle without fearing the pre-treatment might evap before you get to said sections.

I will say I prefer treating a section at a time rather than covering the whole vehicle.

Unfortunate indeed.

I found one thing though. If the panel is warm (inevitable in a hot country), or left too long, ONR does dry and becomes a pain to wipe off. I too do panel by panel due to this but sometimes distractions happen and that's when I noticed this.

Just an observation.
