Optimum NRWS
Hello,
I'm taking the plunge, and I'm going to order some Optimum NRWS. I've heard/read tons of great things about it, and I think that this will be a huge time save for me. I do have a few questions.
1. Do I need the mister/sprayer? I can go to the local coin OP and power wash (RINSE only) the car down prior to actually washing it with the NRWS.
2. I ordered 2 Pure Australian Heavy Sheepskin Washmit from Eurow from Pat at Exceldetail. Are those good? Should I order 2, or will one suffice?
I'd appreciate a quick response - thanks
Jeff

The mister/sprayer is more for what I call "insurance" or really "assurance" actually and is not necessary. However, some users swear by it but I have the technique down where I don't really need it (unless you throw a really muddy car my way). Going to the coin OP will help some as well.
Two sheepskin mitts should be fine for you. I personally use a Proline grout sponge from Lowe's and a Zymol sponge. I like them because they're cheaper and I feel I get to utilize ONR more with sponges instead of mitts. They're definitely worth a shot, especially since the Proline grout sponges go for less than $2 at Lowe's.

^ You won't regret it... 
Mister is good but not necessary if you keep on a steady washing cycle...like once a week.
The sprayer I have found to be required when there is more than average dirt collected on the paint. (I don't use it much)
The mister allows you to "pre-treat" to allow ONRW to help loosen up the dirt.

Also, if you do use the mister, make sure you spray a section at a time otherwise it'll dry up.
As for the mitts, mine turn black (from their original dark beige color) after a couple sections. Using another one when one gets too dirty may be better, but personally I bought two so that after the first one meets end-of-life, I've already got a new & unused one ready to go.
