    ONR Dilution for Pre-rinse

    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 bucketONR Dilution for Pre-rinseONR Dilution for Pre-rinse

    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

    Re: ONR Dilution for Pre-rinse

    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...

    I see nothing wrong with that stronger ratio for pre-treating ONR Dilution for Pre-rinse

    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!
