How many washes can you get out of one "bucket" of water + ONR?

I wouldn't do any more then one. Its so economical, why bother. Especially with cars. Planes on the other hand my not have such discriminating criterias.

Why bother? Because if I am at an office complex, I'd like to wash as many cars as possible without having to worry about run off from water.

Take a 6 Gal container (Available at your local WalMart camping/RV section) and pour you remnants into it afterwards. I highly suggest starting fresh with every wash....
If you have no option, I would recommend using two wash buckets with grit guards......

I use a 2 bucket method already.

Light dust you could get two out of, anything else I would say only one. I only use the 1 bucket method when I use ONR, no reason just never tried it with two. You can get buy with 2-3 gallons per car. But you would still need a source of fresh water and somewhere to put the dirty stuff. Two 50 gallon drums in the back of a truck, one for clean and one for dirty could do 16-25 cars.

I guess that depends on how much water is used in the ONR process. I could look into some 55 or 30 gallon drums. Wonder if Fleet Farm would have something...hmmm.

Fleet Farm has everything! lol

There was a guy a bit south of De Pere that sold used plastic barrels. Think they where 55 gallon for like $15. Not sure what was in them but we got some a few years ago from a different guy and they had fruit juice in them. We cleaned them up and use them for making maple syrup. One day this week I should have time to run down there and see if he still has them if your interested.

I have been mixing about 2 gallons per car (1.5 oz ONR) but today I used 4 gallons (2 batches) on my dirty truck. I end up washing many panels twice since I try to wash gently.

Fleet Farm has everything, if you can find where they put it. LOL

Yeah I want the plastic ones not the metal ones..those are way to heavy. Yeah, let me know if he has something.
