    Re: Onr not taking dirt off or is it road film that it just can’t get off?

    That Purple Power Vehicle and Boat wash takes forever to rinse off. You think it is rinsed off until you realize that you can still see the rainbow effect at the edges of the sheeting water from the soap still being there.

    Don't use 6oz in 1 gallon as the bottle says. Dilute it more. I am currently doing 2 oz in 2 gallons. No residues. And no traffic film after a few weeks of washing.

    If you want it to foam at this dilution, we'll that's not happening lol. You'll need the 6 ounces

    Have you tried using ONR as a pre-spray before wiping the panel? Many of us spray a rinseless solution onto the panel first, let it dwell a minute, and then wipe the panel. I feel that it loosens the dirt and also helps to prevent scratches during the wash process.

    I usually mix the pre-spray in the bottle to be slightly more concentrated than the rinseless solution I have in the bucket. I've always done it this way regardless of the rinseless product I'm using.

    I believe this is your answer.

    "Extra Grimy" needs a dedicated wash IMO.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Isn’t the idea of the waterless wash that’s you should be able to use it regardless ? Or would you only use it with slight dirt and stuff like pollen? Because the mobile detailers in my area all use waterless regardless, even tho they are polishing afterwards so maybe it doesn’t matter

    You mean "rinseless" correct?

    And no, you cannot use it "regardless". If the vehicle is too dirty, you are just asking for CC damage.
