My order of ONR just arrived. I do not have outside water at my condo which was why I am excited to try it. Now I hear you guys are spraying it down first....I will try to just wet it with a wet microfiber first to "lubricate" the surface.

You could always pick up an inexpensive garden sprayer to do the initial wet down. If you get one with a one gallon tank, that should be more than enough to get all the surfaces saturated with water and or ONR.

Here's a link from Amazon. There are tons to choose from:

You can pre spray with a mix of water and ONR using a pump sprayer. As long as the car is not obscenely dirty you really don’t need to hose it off. Just keep spraying the ONR mixture as you work around the car to keep lubrication up. Use light pressure and move in one direction. A lot of folks follow the “Gary dean method” you can search it on YouTube. Guy from FL who uses multiple soaked microfibers.

Thanks for the suggestions…Had my first try at it today using ONR with hand held sprayer. Started with cloudy sky but when sun came out, was tough to keep up. Moved the car half into very narrow garage to finish body. Came out pretty good…wheels needed lots of work. Wish I would have known about this years ago
