I'm in the market for waterless wash, I did research but could not find info on Enthusiasts Only WW besides their website and Amazon feedback. Does anyone have experience w/ this particular WW, how is it in comparison with UWWC+?
 
Never heard of it before.

I enthusiastically stay with Meguiar's as
the brand for my WW-product: D114.

I'm almost sure it's relabeled and color changed Ultima. Smells exactly like it, and works just as good. I'd buy it but I get a great deal on Ultima through CarPro US.

I missed f/s day on AG don't want to pay more than I can get it for. I stumbled on Enthuasist Only with raving reviews on amazon. Someone asked question how is it comparing to UWW, but no surprise on amazon questions answered like, I didn't use UWW it but... are you serious, why not just skip question if you have nothing to say.
I have ONR but despite some say it is safe to use as WW, I'm still skeptical.
 
I saw this stuff on Amazon and looks just like the new BF WW. I have a gallon of d114 and d115 to last me for quite some time so Im not in the market to try it out. Price wise it seems great.
 
Only thing I'm not getting and this question would not be a dilemma if m114/115 have been offered in less quantity for cheaper price.

Comparing to some of you guys, I'm just an amature car enthuasist who would not buy 4gl of product even if it will transfer platinum diffussion over the time to my car. I'm buying an economical great working product in less quantity for discounted price.

Question is still open, did anyone had experience with EO. Because if it is generic how does it perform? And about the rest especially praised on AG products ie pinnacle,bf and others I can educate myself using AG/AO search to read the best written enjoyable reviews in whole www.

I use D114 as my rinseless wash. My bottle makes no mention of dilution for waterless. I'll assume likewise for D115.
 
D115 is a waterless wash. I go through a lot of product when I do waterless washes to ensure minimal marring. I sometimes use 32 oz just for one wash so I appreciate a product that can be diluted to several gallons. Just something to consider.

Michael Stoops over on the Meg's Forum has discussed this many times.

I personally use D114 (for waterless wash/QD):

1:256 for "slightly" dirty i.e., The Garage Queen. It's also a great Clay Lube @ this ratio.

1:128 for somewhat moderate dirt ie., daily driver. However, I'll hose it off first.

D114 doesn't affect the current lsp @ these ratio's and leaves absolutely nothing behind. (I used it yesterday on the Queen that has 2 coats of Colli 845 on her, brought her right back to the day I put those coats on, 4 months ago :dblthumb2:

I don't use D115 not because it's not a quality product but because I want the freedom to apply whatever lsp I want.

D114 imho, is a first ballot Detailing Hall of Famer. :props:

hope it helps

D114 is very economical.

For example:
•One gallon of D114 currently costs $32.99.
•Dilute D114 @1:256 for RW...
-256 gals of RW (that's 4.65 X 55 gal drums of RW)
-$32.99/256= (X) per gal = really cheap!

•Dilute D114 @128:1 for WW...
-128 gals of WW (that's 2.33 X 55 gal drums of WW)
-$32.99/128 = (X) per gal = very cheap!

If you would:
-Go ahead and buy this EO product
-Write a review that you deem to be enjoyable
-Post it over on AGO's sister site (RE: AGO forum rules)

That way, IMO, it would give that detailing forum's
staff, members, and guests...the opportunity to be
educated in the same manner as you would be:
by the reading of, hopefully, one of the best written
product reviews in whole www.

TIA.

I will definitely do it at my first opportunity, pity I live in apartment building, worse in NYC, so there is not much room to experiment and show to the detailing community in general comparison how products work. So far only product I could write detailed feedback and comparison is Gtechnic G1.

That being said, for now I will continue reading on AG/AO the best written reviews about bf, uwwc, D114 and onr in entire www :xyxthumbs:.

Sounds like a solid plan...:props:

Anyone care to comment on whether D115 is safer than D114 for waterless washes or has better cleaning ability since it was designed specifically to be a waterless wash?

I really don't see it that way:
They're both "Rinse Free Express Washes"...
But: D115 has the Wax component.

I didn't know that D114 was a waterless wash as well. I guess I will give it ago when I run out off UWW. I don't feel like it leaves behind any "substantial" protection anyways.
 
D114 is so much more economical than the RTU waterless wash products on the market. Some of the RTU waterless wash products cost $24.95 for one 24 ounce bottle. D114 at 128:1 will make 512 (32oz) bottles of RTU waterless wash for $32.95
