McKees 37 N-914

[fightnews]

I would just get a gallon size bottle of distilled water, add 1 oz. (a shot glass full) of the N-914 to the distilled water bottle, put the cap on the bottle, shave well, and add a label that says "N-914 Quick Detailer" or "Rinseless Wash" as the case may be. Then fill your spray bottles from the pre-mixed gallon container. Shake before you fill your spray bottles. Not much calculation, and easy to see the amount left.

If I did it that way I'd have 10 - 1 gallon jugs to worry about storing. 1 ounce is 2 tablespoons or about 30 milliliters. I don't know about you but my shot glass is 16 ounces lol

No but seriously I just keep a few measuring spoons with my detailing stuff. That way I only have to buy 1 or 2 gallons of distilled water at a time. But I also only work on 1 car so that makes a difference.

Great ideas guys. I guess I would have thought of that had I remembered my conversions from grade school. I always buy gallon jugs of distilled water for detailing/washing anyway.

You dont have to remember, thats what the internet is for.

All you need is a table spoon and a teaspoon and you can pretty much measure everything.


Am I the only one who thinks the dilution on the mckee's 914 is to low? I usually use more.

Whats up with the name? I thought they said they were going to reveal some information on why they named it N-914 down the road? It's def not a name that came out of a marketing department thats for sure.

Probably cause it was similar naming to d114. Since it was made in an answer to the loss of the megs product

1 Oz to 1 gallon works best for me

Mebbe this will help someone:

All are approx conversions - but good enough for detailing...

5ml = 1 teaspoon = 1/6 oz

7.5ml = 1/4 oz

15ml = 1 tablespoon = 1/2 oz

30ml = 2 tablespoon = 1oz

1000ml = 1 liter ~ 32oz

473ml = 1 pint = 16oz

946ml = 1 quart ~ 1/4 gallon = 32oz

3800ml ~ 128oz ~ 1 gallon

I'm another that just puts an ounce or so into a fresh gallon of Distilled water.

I would just buy 2 gallons of distilled water, add in the correct amount of N-914 to make up a WW, and in the other, enough N-914 to make up Quick Detailer. Label each container accordingly. Then use the contents from each premixed concentration (fill up a QD sprayer from the QD gallon container, and the WW spray bottle from the WW premixed gallon of WW solution). I don't know where you are getting the 10 bottles from, unless you intend to use 10 different concentrations of N-914. The N-914 concentrate stays in its own bottle until it is time to mix up a new batch I see 3 bottles, Concentrate, WW premix, and QD premix.

Why two gallons? OP says he's mixing @ 1:128 for a detailer. This is the same ratio McKee's suggests for a waterless. But then I don't get the difference between detailers and waterless washes. You use basically the same product in 'sort of' two different methods (especially when your using a rinseless to make both).
