Hey Patrick. This method sounds great. My greatest concern
with NRWS was the initial application. My car does not sit in
a garage, so everytime it rains the pollen, dust, and other contaminants
mix in with the drops of beading rain water. Once this concoction dries, I am left
with caked on "stuff", for lack of a better word. What I would do is use the NRWS
and water mix to kind of prerinse the car, by wringing out the sheepskin mitt over the dirty
areas. This method ends up wasting more time, water and product.
I think the advanced technique addresses this problem. How much does the mister cost?
Great write up btw.

Kevin, got the order! Ships tonight! Great little kit, and the sprayer sure compliments it.
Im really kind of overwhelmed with the sales/responses I have had with very little "pitching" other then here. It seams that word has spread!

Hey Patrick, I tried the NRWS this weekend on the wifes Accord. I used a gallon sprayer and it worked fantastic. I had to follow it up with a QD'er, but I do that anyway when drying.
I hardly put a dent in the gallon of water with concentrate. Can I just keep it in the sprayer and continue to use it?

Needs more Lemon Pledge
So Patrick, let me get this straight. I have never used NRWS before, and am wondering what the process is. Is it:
1. Spray car with sprayer mixture
2. Use wash mitt dunked in 2.5 gallons of mixture to wash car
3. Wipe dry with WW?
I guess I am unclear as to how the dirt (understandably, not caked mud or anything) actually gets removed from the paint prior to wiping a drying towel across the surface.
I don't doubt the results, because you guys all really like the product, I am just curious how it works and how I am supposed to use it (so I can buy some and try it!)

An innovative product that protects automotive paint, while preserving our most valuable resource, water; enabling you to wash your car anywhere, anytime even inside your garage. It’s a multi-purpose product that serves as a shampoo additive, no rinse wash, quick detailer and clay lubricant, dilution rate 2-onces per gallon.
When sprayed on a dirty surface; surfactants break down the soil by releasing its surface tension or bond with the surface, encapsulating the soil particles, and the polymers provide surface lubrication to enable safe (marring free) removal
Methodology
Suggested mix 2 oz per gallon or 1/2 oz per 32 oz *spray bottle
Use a Monster Fluffy Towel for washing. Take one towel and wet it with as per directions. Wring it out and make a single pass per clean side of the towel. You can get 4-8 passes, with the towel folded in quarters. Each pass is then done with a perfectly clean towel surface and you're never rinsing any dirt out and releasing it in to your wash or rinse water. You can do the whole car with 2-4 towels. Apply no pressure to the towel, just glide it over the surface and only make one pass in one direction with a clean towel surface.

I've used the NRWS (my roomie's) and liked it. The spray idea sounds really good. What I do now is actually damp the mf towel and as a drag the mf across the surface, I roll it so the dirt doesn't collect at one end.
Try to visulaize this. Place the towel on one end of the hood. As you drag it across the surface, lift the mf towel. When you look at the towel, you should see dirt all over the place instead of one spot. After that, I just re wash the area again normally. Then dry it up with another mf towel.
I have bright yellow mf towels from costco and after the dry, i don't notice any dirt on the mf towel.
So just like to shoot out this idea too.

yea...i've been washing my car that way for about 7 months with inducing minimum swirls...i usually concentrate little more than recommended amount in order to prevent swirls. if the car is not that dirty, just use quick detail strengthened ONR to treat the dirty area then proceed with a normal ONR wash.

also, ONR in the sprayer can clean the wheels effectively. i usually clean the wheels with Eagle One All Wheels and Tires, then ONR spray to rinse the wheels and tires, then ONR with Microfiber towels, then Meguiar's Quick Wheel with dry towels. this can clean any wheel without excessive water supply.
