Hey all, I have searched everywhere for an answer to this. I wonder if anyone has tried to spray ONR to a fairly dirty work vehicle and just rinse it with a hydroshot. I want to find a way to get the work vehicle "clean" where there is really no water or power. I know that it will work best if wiped but its a work vehicle and i just don't want to put that much effort in it. Probably most will think this is a bad idea but nevertheless i'm curios what you guys think or if anyone has tried this, or if you have a better idea to do this. Thank you!
ONR and rinse?!

I use the hydroshot in winters for Rinseless in my garage. Works great. ONR/Rinseless left to dwell then rinsed off works about as well as a foam cannon. There's actually a side by side video someone did on Youtube showing that comparison. Is it worth a darn if you're not going to wash? YMMV but IMO I would just rinse it with water and go. ONR has no real grease cutting ability like a degreaser would to cut through the road film. Thus if your vehicle has not been in rain, it would work fine but if it's been on wet roads then parked with dried muck/film on it, go through a touchless wash. You'll be much happier.

I don't think this would do much.
Even with a power washer, ONR is not gonna do much. Yvan made a video comparing a snow foam and ONR on dirty panels then being pressure washed. Both panels were still dirty afterwards.
If you want to clean a panel that way, you will need an agressive product. Try with an orange degreaser or some form of high concentration APC. Then use the HydroShot to rinse it off.

Thank you! That makes sense. Ill pick up some orange degreaser and try that too.
Just a warning. If you're going to spray a degreaser or AIO cleaner on your paint, you better have a blower to get the stuff out of the crevices. Guys have had drips leave over cleaned drip lines left on their paint from those products.
I would use P21s total uto wash or CarPro Reset if I was going to do something like your trying. But then, I would still blowout the crevices.

Yeah, it might have been a little easier to follow if I had made the description a little more coherent.
You get what I meant though, right? Places like side moldings, license plates ... Anything that will trap water and slowly release it from one place. With strong cleaners, that slow leak can make a super clean drip line in your paint. Not really a problem with carwash. But, guys have reported this happening with AIO's. So a degreaser would probably have the same risk.
Could this happen with Total Auto Wash? I haven't seen it. But I don't use it that strong and I almost always blow dry. I have Reset. But, have limited experience with it.
