Update… it just rained/sleeted … there was a 40% chance of snow with no inclement weather the rest of the week so I took the chance… did not pay off.
At least I still have 3.5 gallons of ONR mixed up and the high for tomorrow is above freezing (last time for the rest of the week). If the roads are dry by tomorrow afternoon I’ll do another rinseless wash.
Side note: there was AWESOME beading on the paint when I just went out to move the car into the garage. I gotta think that’s the Meg’s HCW I put on a couple months ago more so than the GG Speed Shine I just applied today, right?

Honestly it's your LSP and that would be the Speed Shine, great product that's been around for decades. Once your bottle is low, try the Ceramic Speed Shine...you'll love it

Speed Shine is definitely my favorite quick detailer that I’ve tried so far. I just didn’t think it had any protection in it, so that’s why I thought it would be the Meg’s HCW causing the water beading. But I suppose it would make sense if it was the SS, especially since it was just applied two hours before and the car wasn’t moved.
I’ve heard that the CSS doesn’t wipe/flash off as well.

My experience is 180 degrees opposite of what you've heard. I've been a Griot's Garage customer since 2005 FWIW.
The wipe off issues people have couple be humidity, an LSP that doesn't play well, possibly the towel not being clean and/or contaminated

I haven't used that glass cleaner and not sure when I will because I have a 500ML bottle of CarPro Clarity that has about 20% left, a fresh 1000ML bottle of Clarity and the TWHS Glass cleaner to use up first. Clarity isn't cheap and I'm trying to use that for the inside glass because of my tint. That said Griot's Garage has never let me down, I'm sure that glass cleaner isn't going to be the first

Even with my limited pressure for blasting away weeks and weeks and weeks of snow/dirt/muck/salt/road film it did an AMAZING job!! The lower panels showed that light coat of dirt leftover from a pre-wash but remember my car was CRUSTED in salt AND I only have the Worx hydroshot here. In the pi s I posted you can see the "crap" melted away by Bilt-Hamber Touchless, I've never seen anything like that and I've tried/used CarPro Lyft too.
Good to hear that it works well at 2%, which is the recommended minimum. Did you go through the whole 1.5 gallons?

yeah, 1.5 gal is 192 oz. 2% is a 32 oz container would be 2/3 oz but if that's the foam gun you connect to the hose, it would end up diluted down from the water from the hose. there's some videos (forensic detailing, etc) on calculating panel impact ratio for using a pressure washer. that would be similar.
