Rinsing After ONR

First off I have been a long time reader\learner from this forum. Especially the last 3 years since I had bought my first new car and wanted to step it up a notch with better product. So first I would like to say thanks to all the pro's in this business who takes time to post their experiences! Saved me allot of time, money and frustration on obtaining desirable result from detailing.



I wash my car the old 1 bucket, hose and a quality wool wash mitt. I am very delicate and never apply any pressure on the mitt. This has been satisfactory for me prior to buffing.



I was thinking of adding some ONR to my Meg's Gold Class in my bucket. Perhaps it would help with some water spots for the few I can't get in time before drying. I'm thinking when I rinse the water will shed better off the car. At worst the ONR can just help lifting the dust off the car when I wash with the mitt right?
 
1st off-get a 2nd bucket and 2 grit guards. You should see what my rinse bucket looks like after a wash. It's super dirty and my wash bucket, while not perfectly clear, is pretty clean.



I usually add a capful of ONR to BOTH buckets but i don't think it's absolutely necessary. I cherish my ONR especially when I start running low...LOL



It sounds like you know what you're doing and you're using top notch products. Why would you still be using 1 bucket? Hell my neighbors are using 2 buckets and they're not OCD like most of us. Lexus paint is fairly soft is it not?
 
Look into the two bucket method

You will want to add Grit-Guard

ONR can never hurt when washing

ONR presoak is good too, pre lubricant

Usually QD helps with water spots immediately after drying

when final rinsing, take off hose sprayer and just use the soft stream of water, helps with the water sheeting off the car.



sorry if that was more info than you were looking for, but I really didn't see a question in your comment.
 
Thanks for the comments guys. I have read numerous times about the advantages of the two bucket method. But for now the one is fine for me. Yes when I rinse I use the soak setting on the hose sprayer. Rinses the soap real well.



Bassically I am just looking for input from members that already tried what I'm going to do. Adding ONR concentrate to my soap bucket. I'm sure I'm not the only one who though of this?

I have tried adding ONR to my wash bucket but I never noticed much of a difference so I no longer do. Once I use up the rest of my traditional washes, I will probably go to ONR only.
 
If water spots are what you are worried about, just get a leaf blower to blow off the excess water and keep your LSP fairly new and don't let it start to wear off to the end of its life.

You want to use higher quality products and higher quality methods to washing your car yet you can't seem to spend $5 for another 5-gallon bucket?



Weird.
 
Some people are cautious enough to use just one bucket and not instill swirls and scratches in the paint, maybe he is one of them?
 
I had heard from more than one that ONR suppressed the suds in the soap. Anyone experience this? I am not saying this is bad but just curious.
