I like the blackfire waterless and the mckees but the mckees is rinseless or detail spray. Ive never seen an answer to whether or not the mckees could be used as a waterless.

AG's store page for N-914 mentions it use as a waterless wash and gives a dilution ratio.

A Rinseless Wash – Dilute 1:256
A Waterless Wash – Dilute 1:128
A Clay Lubricant – Dilute 1:128
A Paint Prep – Dilute 1:8

I have a bunch of rinseless and waterless washes but I prefer to use my pressure washer and foam cannon 1x per week. I'll do a waterless here and there but almost never a rinseless. Not because i dont like them i just like my pressure washer more.

Same here... I think I've done an actual rinseless wash maybe once in this whole year, and it was on someone else's car. I legit can't recall doing a rinseless on a vehicle here at home except for when I reviewed N-914.. And that's only cuz I had to for review purposes.

I prefer waterless everytime. Wolfgang Uber.
 
is that the liquid crystal waterless wash? Ive always heard it wasn't good on glass? thats why i dont use it much

Yep, Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash. It works great on glass, with one caveat: After you spray it on and wipe it off, you need to go back over it again with a shorter-pyle microfiber. If you don't you get 'holograms'

how about plastic trim?

That sounds like a waste of time.
 
That sounds like a waste of time.

An extra 10 seconds to give a final wipe/buff to the windshield to level/smooth the carnauba, and get a slick, water-shedding finish, sounds like a waste of time?

Front, back and sides plus extra towels.
 
I love Wolfgang Uber and McKee’s N-914.

Out of the above I voted for OPT opti clean but its not as cost effective as the others.

Also one to consider and the one I really like and was impressed by Surf city garage rinse free wash and wax at 1:5 dillution. It smells nice, it has great lubrication, it cleans well and it finishes / dries smear free.
 
Used McKee’s n914 waterless wash ratio for the first time today. Truck got washed yesterday and then it rained today. I’d rate it 8/10.Very good cleaning ability. Wipes clean. The only thing I don’t like is that it beads up on the surface but this was due to me sealing my paint with Carpro Reload 6 days ago most likely. Also I only like using shampoos that don’t leave any gloss enhancers or polymers behind so this was a perfect option for me. Also super economical at 1:128.
