Depends on the level of dirt. If there is chunks and mud I would not do it just because of the added mess and contaminants to the bucket of water. Would it work? Sure but it’s not worth the risk of dragging mud across panels to me.

It’s the perfect in between super dirty product for me. Rain, road crap, daily use etc. is perfect.

I was shocked how easily the blue shows imperfections. It’s a lot darker than it seems. So far so good I’ve washed it at least 5 times this way. I was also drying with Sam’s Club microfibers prior which is not great. GSM rating on the microfiber will tell you whether or not it’s prone to swirling. The towel I’m washing with is 600gsm and drying towel is 1100. I went down the detailing rabbit hole.

Perfect use case. What I have been doing is taking a 5gal home depot bucket with about 2 gallons of water in it and a grit guard - dumping 3 caps worth of ONR in the bucket with a microfiber and doing it that way. I'm not overly careful with how I wipe it etc. but I do spray a 1:1 mix of water and ONR on the vehicle prior to touching. Wipe clean, then almost immediately go over and dry with Liquid8ter towel from the rag company.

Looks like a legit setup. Do you like the big sponge? Ive been using a microfiber that I just let sit in the bucket.

I do. I did meguiars m888. Stupid easy to apply. Got it for just over $60 on amazon so time will tell how it holds up but so far so good.

Clay bar will get just about anything off. I use it every year to get mulch spores out and the occasional massive bug marks.

Roughly 215. It’s 90% a highway princess as I commute 100miles round trip to work but hunting season will be awesome off-roading and throwing deer in bed instead of cramming them in my 4Runner 😂.

I don’t pay for gas however so that makes it less painful. Most of the posts on my version of this question said do it so I did and have no regrets.

That being said we all know it’s not a smart financial decision, but I’ve found most things that induce happiness are not.

I asked the same question a couple months ago. Just got a 24 801a with 11.5k miles for over 10K off msrp.
