How To Make 2 Gallons Of Excellent Economical Spray Wax For Under 15 | McKee's 37 Rinse Free Wash & Wax | Revealing My Secret!

[Joe@NextLevelDetail]

What if I told you that its possible to buy 2 gallons of a spray wax detailer for $12.99? Would you call me crazy? would you say it must be a horrible product? or maybe both!

about a month ago I recently discovered this product and the more I use it the more and more I love it. I have not seen any talks about it on the forum And I would love to share my success with this product. I enjoy using it alot so I know my fellow geeks will also.

The last time I was this excited about a economical detail spray/wax was Uber @ Detail Spray Ratio (amazing stuff)

So What is this product that is going to make us this excellent spray wax ? McKee's 37 Rinse Free Wash & Wax!

Product Description

Quick Detailer

This is where the polymers really shine! The proprietary polymers bond to the paint as the lubricants allow dust and dirt to be wiped away scratch-free. The polymers leave a slick, high gloss finish that is a brilliant complement to any existing wax coat. Since McKee's 37 Rinse Free Wash & Wax is water-based, it’s safer for you and your vehicle. Enjoy the slick shimmer and convenience of a quick detailer with no harmful chemicals!


To Create Quick Detailer - Add 2 – 3 ounces of McKee's 37 Rinse Free Wash & Wax to 32 ounces of water. Pour this mixture into a clean spray bottle. Mist the paint surface and wipe with a clean, soft microfiber towel to rejuvenate the shine and remove fingerprints and dust. The remaining mixture can be saved for use at a later time. Shake the bottle well before using the quick detailer again.


Making the Spray Wax

Getting ready to wipe with my towel.

I flipped my towel to do the last buff off.

It removed all the finger smudges and hand prints that I heavily installed leaving a reflective wet shine.

After

I re-installed some finger smudges/hand prints/oils to see how the product would "flash" with 1 pass.

I applied the product heavy to see if it would leave any streaks.

almost done wiping!

After 1 pass with the towel these streaks remained.

After about 20-25 seconds the remaining streaks "ghosted" into the panel.

It beads water really really nice. I can not answer longevity questions right now, I been using it as a drying aid for my daily driver but I have a coat of Hi-Def paint sealant. So I would want to do some more testing on a stand alone application.

Tips

In the description it says add 2-3 oz's In the product we tested above I applied 2 oz of product, If you want more of a quick detailer/spray wax hybrid I would go with the 2oz's if you want a much thicker spray wax I would go the 3oz. If you are working outside in a hot climate 2oz's is the way to go. In a climate control shop the 3 oz spray wax might be up your alley! I prefer the 2oz dilution but test 2 bottle to determine your liking.

With 1 bottle of 16oz Rinse Free Wash & Wax you can create 2 gallons of spray wax detailer! 256ozs of spray wax for less than 15 dollars. this product is a real winner and I hope you guys enjoy this product as much as I do.

Like any spray wax make sure you shake well before you use it!

this product works excellent as a drying aid as well.

Does it work more like a quick detailer or like a spray wax? How do you compared it to Fast Wax?

Fast Wax is always going to be superior and outperform this. This is a great economical option that has pretty darn good performance considering the price point.

the 3oz to 32oz is more like a spray wax, the 2oz to 32oz is more like a hybrid of a spray wax/detailer.

Sonax bds mixed with j lenno detail spray 50/50 if I can add a home brew.

Great article Joe.

I'm happy you mentioned this. I was just going to ask about its comparison with Fast Wax.

[ScottH]

Thanks Joe! I've never used the product in the way mentioned here, but I have used it extensively in the last 3-4 months as a rinseless wash and it's shines! (no pun intended). 2 oz in 3 gallons of warm water and it's simply a pleasure to wash the car even in 20 degree temps.

Maybe this mixture followed with Fast Wax would make a great way to maintain a vehicle that doesn't get very dirty.

Thanks for the tip, I will have to give it a try!

[2black1s]

I use Meguiar's D115 Rinse Free Express Wash & Wax in a similar manner and it's as good a quick detailer as anything I've used.

Ok I'm not trying to be rude so don't take this the wrong way but what is your deal bro? Are you a rep for the company or a relative or something? Stock holder maybe? I ask only because of all the McKee's 37, products, banners, reviews, spray bottles, tshirts, ect, ect, you seem to have? It's cool if you are I happen to think they have great products. I just bought a few new ones myself

[Mantilgh]

^I guess you missed this thread.

Edit: You probably should make it clear through some form. Something in your signature maybe?

I gave this a try. I added an ounce to 11 ounces of water (because I had a 12oz bottle available). I used it as a drying aid when I washed my car yesterday. It worked well. I didnt notice any streaking and it left the paint feeling a bit slicker then before. as well as doing what a drying aid is supposed to, help remove any water spots. Once diluted it also smells quite pleasant, a slight artificial banana scent.

I was a little surprised at how thick this product is in its concentrated form, but once added to water it diluted with no problem.

You're crazy! It must be a horrible product!

Only a bit slicker than before? Don't most dedicAted spray waxes leave things quite a bit slicker ?

Not all spray waxes leave the paint slick, but most do. Keep in mind this isnt a pure spray wax, more like a hybrid spray wax / quick detailer. And I was using it as a drying aid, so it was not only getting diluted but also not applied as dense as a spray wax would have been had I applied it directly to dry paint.
