That's a pretty nice write-up from calgary... I'm not sure I'd be using the same sponge/mitt to do the wells but, other than that... Maybe he tossed it after doing those areas.

I 2nd ONR. Love that stuff.

I would use the local place to knock off big stuff then the ONR.

Still use the 2 bucket method.

That's what I was driving at - don't touch the truck over there, just blast it with the sprayer.

Thanks for the replys guys...do you know if any of the local auto stores would carry it? I don't feel like ordering the stuff online lol. Anyway, I already knocked off the big stuff...its just that filliment of dirt thats still on it, and I would NEVER touch my truck with those flippin' brushes. My gf actually said I should stop fussing and just go to wally world and buy a BUNCH of bottled water just too get me too shut up about how dirty my truck was lol...can anyone say the most expensive just wash ever? I think i'm just going too risk it, I doubt that anyone will harp. Driving back 2night I saw my friend Terry with a PSD 250 had his sprinklers running, so if I get caught maybe I'll tell the cop "well my neighbors run the sprinklers...I have not seen this advisory...I mean I can't even read!" lol

I mainly use ONR in my detailing business. If a vehicle is muddy I spray that off first and then proceed with the No Rinse. It leaves a vehicle shining like it has just been waxed. Here is another great video on how to use it correctly:

Wally World will fill up those big 5 gallon jugs (and anything else) with water for like $1 a gallon, if that.

Polish

Dan,
You have a great web site for what looks like a part time job and I say that by the way you have your appointments set up. I am looking for the best way to polish aluminum that does not have a clear coat on it. We have two rotary buffers but I was thinking of using a DA. Next what can I use on the surface to slow down the oxidation on the surface that will resist heat .
Do you use any 3M products if so Where can i get a breakdown of that they are all used for?

Start yer own thread... That doesn't look like it is even *remotely* close to water restrictions...
