The temperature crept above freezing today , so I was able to pressure wash the top crust of salt off the 4Runner (without turning the driveway into a skating rink). Afterwards, I tri ed out new-to-me ‘Optimum No-Rinse’ to actually ‘ wash’ it in the garage.

Mid-clean. Front door & fender done, rear door untouched (other than pressure washer rinse earlier)

I’m impressed. I followed the directions on the bottle (mostly), went through 6 washing microfibers and 3 for drying, but man it works and it works well. This is easily as clean as it would have been if I two-bucket’ed it in the driveway, but I was warm and dry in the garage.

I am very pleased and surprised with how well it turned out. I’m tempted to do the Chevelle (well, the parts of it that are in the garage) just for fun since I have more solution mixed up in the bucket. Also, it smells sort of like blue jello which is awesome.

Insulated, too! The floor is a heaved/settled disaster (sort of visible in the picture) but looking to sort that out next year. Unfortunately it’s reached the critical-mass where I do not have room for anything else that won’t fit in the toolbox/cabinets. Need to add on.

My favourite thing about ONR is buying the concentrate. That way it’s easy to mix in a sprayer as needed.

Same thing applies to Simple Green.. M ix as needed, and a bottle lasts forever.

Yeah this bottle of concentrate I have will last a long, long time (the gallon of simple green in the basement is in a similar situation :) )
