There are comparable products too, check out the equivalent product on Griot's Garage. IDK if it works as well as NR, but I have heard good things about it, too. I am also going to get ONR in the future, or the Griot's product. I've known about ONR for over 2 yrs, never got a chance to try it out...

Answer to above.......
QUESTION
"Unfortunately not all of us have a heated garage (or a garage at all for that matter), though I'm noting the part where you said salt spots have to be "pre soaked" before rinse... the whole point is that it doesn't require a rinse. What exactly does he mean? Just go over it a couple of times, perhaps?"
ANSWER
"lol, detaling mentor.
I mean when you use ONR, it's best to take your diluted formula (usually 1oz per gallon or 2) and apply it early before you actually wipe it down (You can do this with a towel or whatever); just something so you can transfer the liquid over to those spots w/out actually scrubbing at it.
Salt has a tendency to bond to paint, extremely hard. If you just go straight to it, and scrub it off, chances are you will scratch your paint. But if you have the time, take your diluted formula, and along the sides and rear bumper/front...etc, and spot where you have excess build-up, just dab some on there prior to going at it. At least it will help break it up alittle before you tackle that area.
I hope as well you practice 2 bucket method as well....Because the dirt picked up by a mitt can be easily transferred back ontop the paint.
- Hope this helps, let me know if you anything else to ask

I've always found the two-bucket method a little bit of a faff for one main reason. When you "wash" off the crap off the mitt in the "dirty" bucket, stuff will still stick to it, so when you go to dump it in the "clean" bucket, it will contaminate it and you'll end up with crap on your paint anyway. Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks for asking him, BTW, I understand what he meant now.
This is the detailing mentor. Figured I'd just come over here and answer questions
There is a Grit Guard that you put into your clean bucket:
You stick your mitt into the clean bucket, and scrub...It will loosen the dirt from the mitt, and since dirt is heavier than water, it sinks under the grit guard, to the bottom.
In addition, as an extra pre-caution...I have a grit guard in the soap bucket as well.
