Any suggestions on how to beat this next time? My neighbor recommended this Mr. Clean attachment to the hose. Any other ideas?

The Mr. Clean attachment is rubbish. If you have a spare $370 burning a hole in your pocket, you need to buy one of these:
CR Spotless. That's the best water de-ionizer on the market.

If it were my car, I would never use OPT, especially if you're in a warm place like SoCal. The chances of inducing swirls is incredibly high, especially in the hands of someone lacking the proper tools to use it properly. The force of high pressure water is key in removing the majority of dirt on a car. Without that force, you're pulling dirt along your paint when using something like ONR.
