I ordered some ONR for my RV detail shop today. Was trying to find a way to make our exterior washes move a little quicker. Our process used to be: pressure wash, scrub with either brushes or microfiber mits on extension poles, pressure rinse, windows, dress the exterior. We have a huge water softener AND reverse osmosis system in place (Why, I dont know. Was there when I took over) so we dont hand dry the coaches. What I wanted to do was somehow eliminate one or more of these steps and thus eliminating some time in the bay.
The problem with using ONR is we cant use it conventionally because it would be way too time consuming to hand dry these huge beasts. I talked to an Optimum rep in Tennessee for awhile, bounced some ideas off him, and we came up with a couple ideas. What I decided to try was, using a more concentrated solution and a brush, wash the outside without pressure washing it first. Then once we brushed the whole coach, use the pressure washer and do a once over then hit the hard to get areas like wheel wells, awnings, roof edges, etc, then finish the coach as we regularly do. When we were all finished, we were amazed. The thicker solution helped the water sheet right off the windows and the exterior gel coat had an incredible shine! And this was an 2002 30' Hurricane class A, so she wasnt new by any means. When we were done, a job that would normally take 45-hour took us 30 minutes! Im so excited because now I can get more through the shop, make my department more money, and justify all the money I spend on detail products!
Anyone else try ONR on RV's?
