Meguiar's D114 Rinsefree Express Wash Is Discontinued

[conman1395]

Says it can remove polishing oils? Has this been tested?

Nearly any wash is going to remove polishing oils whether it's waterless, rinseless, or traditional. In order for anything to clean a car it'll have to have a nonpolar component to dissolve nonpolar contaminants. Polishing oils are a lot easier to remove than other nonpolar molecules like tar and oil on the street.

Meguiar's D114:

"At a very strong dilution ratio, yes,
it can strip wax. But we're talking like
4:1 or thereabouts.

We recommend 256:1 dilution ratio for
rinseless washing (128:1 for really dirty
cars).

15:1 will remove residual compound and
polish residue (but those are much easier to
remove than waxes and sealants)."

Yep, you read that right! You can use McKee’s

This was specifically produced to fill that void. Works exactly like D114 did. You won't be disappointed.

McKee’s 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash 128 oz.

Thanks, will look at that

is it same as D114 in respect to it can be used prior to paint correction and/or cleaning prior to sealant application?

i know a lot of rinse less and waterless washes have polymers or waxes that would prevent this

It is the same as D114 in a sense that it doesn't leave anything behind.

This was the best cleaning rinseless wash product on the market. There’s no other product on the market that could clean an entire car spotless just by changing the dilution. I finally ran out and came to buy more then found out the bad news. This really sucks.

Ok, running low on my D114. What's the consensus alternative for this?
I use it as a rinseless wash and clay lube

Better? Same? Pros/cons? I never tried any of the other products on the market (didn't need to) but if its as good or better that's an easy sell for me

My bad, AG has just recently stopped selling McKee’s products, but you can still buy direct.

The entire McKee's line is no longer available on Autogeek.

 

[dennis hiip]

Still have D114. Good stuff

 

[PaulMys]

Since it is no longer offered at AutoGeek, I can say McKee's can be purchased on Amazon now.

 

[dennis hiip]

Mckees line of products is on ebay with free shipping and no mark up to cover free shipping.

 

[FUNX650]

Still have D114.

Good stuff

Sucks that AG doesn’t carry. I haven’t seen any decent sales from Mckee’s.

Griot’s briiliant shine rinseless is a great rinseless. As good as N-914, never used D114. Only draw back is i see no recommendation as clay lube as they market Speed Shine for it.

Coatingsarecrack - You beat me to it. I really like the Griot's Brilliant Finish Rinseless. As a rinseless, I think I actually prefer it to N-914. I wish someone more experienced/scientific than I would do some playing at different ratios to see if you could in fact just bump up the mix and use it for other uses. Seems like if it's safe as a rinseless, you'd think the lubricity would increase in higher ratios like any other one out there. Conspiracy theorist in me wonders if they don't offer those other ratios as they'd be stealing their own sales with how cheap the Brilliant Finish Rinseless is.

I've got a spray bottle that I did a higher mix (I think 15:1 like their Rinseless Wash and Wax, though I forgot to write it down) that I've been using for glass, and it works really well. I'd love to see testing done on paint though before I'd feel comfortable doing it myself, or especially recommending it to anyone.
