Homemade ONR?

[backwoods_lex]

Is it possible to make your own ONR mix in a pinch? In theory, a bucket full of soapy (car wash) water should lubricate as well as ONR diluted, shouldn't it?





EDIT: Of course I would use the same gentle method of wool mitt to wash/microfiber to dry, and use a bucket of fresh water to rinse. I've been thinking of trying a 50/50 section of my trunk to see how it turns out.

Are you talking about making a no rinse product or a clay lubricant or something else?

 

[backwoods_lex]

A no rinse product to wash the vehicle with.

I think the problem with a homemade ONR would be the residue on the paint. I'd think it'd be pretty diffucult to get a clean surface with traditional soaps

I agree with this.

That, along with failing to properly clean all of the rubber parts, would be my biggest concern. And bigger puddles of water.

Well when you wash your hands do you soap them up then go directly to dry them off? :wavey

I have used regular car soap but more diluted and havent had problems with residue. RainX wash and wax car soap worked just fine. Tried it with Z7 and it didnt work so well. Try adding a cap of solution at a time to find what works for you.

No, but that is why I mentioned a bucket of fresh water for rinsing.

WHy not just try nice clean water. It works great for me.

this sounds crazy but a member from DC made a batch of S&W using hair conditioner diluted with water he even posted results that got a few members to give it a try
