May seem like an odd combination, but has anyone washed with ONR then dried with a Metro Blaster rather than a MF towel?
 
I have not heard anyone use such combonation yet but hey it can be done, and you never know you just may came up with a new way to lessen swirls, and other deffects during the drying process
 
Doesn't seem odd to me. Its the safest approach I'm terms of least amount of potential to apply swirls to your paint. In the end you are just drying off the car with a different method that yields the same end result in a safer manner.
 
I do that. Although I do not have a Master Blaster, I am just using a cheap Makita blower but strong enough. ONR a section, then blow it. Repeat till its done all over. After that I will just touch up the windscreen/windows with glass cleaner and glass cloth.
 
If you believe that this "blow-dry procedure" will not
leave any ONR-residues on the vehicles' surfaces...
Then you go ahead.

I agree with Bob. There will more than likely be some surfactants left behind. Onr isn't a spot free rinse agent, and it leaves a little something behind.

Try it on a panel, and see how it works out, then report back. You may have stumbled onto something great.

You are drying product residue on the paint. Try it on a black car in the sun and tell me how it looks afterwords. You will see the dried residue....on a white car maybe not...

Why would it dry on the paint and not be blown off by the air?

I'm mostly thinking about in my garage in the winter.
 
I dunno' about that.

Are you saying you'll use the towels to do the "washing" part, then rather than dry with yet another towel you'll take air to dry?

I'm thinking it'll spot up.

But, if you have some DI water for a rinse I'm betting you'll end up with a winner. Wouldn't take much DI then, just enough to do a slight rinse and dilute the ONR residue then quickly dry it.

In my experience with the master blaster, a lot of the water is not physically blown off the car. Some drops blow off, some break up into lots of tiny droplets and somewhat dissipate, and some is dried in place. I'm thinking you could skip the pass with a drying towel but you would still need some type of wipe down with a plush towel to get a streak and residue free finish. Again, the negative effects are magnified on darker paint...
 
There's no harm in trying if you have one. I think it will dry mainly clear with a few streaked parts.
 
I would not dry a car after using any rinseless product with air. It has to be wiped off. Try it once and you won't try it again.

Not really sure if there is doubts, but I have already posted on my last update back in months ago. I do not see any ONR spots by doing so.

But then yes, for a perfect finish, you do have to use a soft towel to give the ride a light buff with whatever QD of your choice. And this still does not equal to the residue, as I always wash the cloth by hand with tiny bit of mf detergent. There isn't any dirt coming out, as compared to if I cloth dry with waffle weave.
