    I dont think I would be able to get my hands on it by Sunday either. But I am always open to try new things in the future.
    Nick, I agree.

    I have used ONR, but have reservations about using it, but that's for another time. The 2 bucket method is much safer and better.

    ONR's results are similar to a regular wash, but I have been skeptical about not scratching or swirling the paint. I tried it on my daily driver, but couldn't readily tell if I instilled scratches and swirls.

    BTW, what DOES this guy do for a living?

        Wonder how many of those vehicles have 'salvage' titles?

        If they are mostly dusty, I'd look into an ONR type product (there are several) with a two-bucket method - less messy water-wise and it really does do a nice job on my Magnum. I've not observed any scratching/marring/damage at all so far.

        Sounds like you have a very busy summer indeed!

              Oh, sorry. I thought you'd mention them on this thread.

              The owner of all these vechiles uses the F-150 Lariat as his daily driver and the Chevy Silverado Z71 as his work truck. There was a ridiculous amount of mud on boh these trucks, He told me to just wash the paint and vacumm the interior for these two vechiles since he dosent care about them and does not want to spend too much

              I did this truck Thursday night, just havent had time to post it. This is a mudding/fishing truck. It was in pretty bad shape, mud, millions of stone chips, scratches etc. The owner just wanted all dirt and grime removed but I decided to throw in a good claying and an AIO. Process: 1. Wash with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo

              I did this truck today, didnt take too long and its suprisingly in good shape for a daily driver. A good wash, clay and then ColorX topped with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 is my favorite for daily drivers. Process: 1.
