I'm not sure how I missed this product, but I guess I did.
I know McKee's has the N-914 which is very similar to Meguiar's D114... no wax/sealant/gloss-enhancing properties and is designed primarily as a rinseless wash for paint-prep shops.

Now I find there is a Wash + Wax version of this product.
However, I'm only seeing dilution ratios for Rinseless and Detail Spray.
McKee's 37 Rinse Free Wash & Wax, no rinse car wash, concentrated no rinse wash, quick detail spray, waterless wash (http://www.autogeek.net/dp-rinseless-four-in-one.html)

Can this product be diluted to Detail Spray ratio, and still be used as a Clay Lube and Waterless wash?

I'm seeing 2-3oz / 32oz as the recommended for detail spray ratio... not quite as good as 1:32 or 1:48 dilution ratio of other products like Ultima/Blackfire WW (has UV protection) or Wolfgang RW (has gloss enhancers) or even Pinnacle WW (has carnauba)

Also, I saw a video by Joe on YT showing a dilution of this product as a "Spray Wax"?
Not sure if this is a good idea, because this is considered a "cleaning" product?

Lastly, does this product streak or work very well in direct sun?

Hoping people that have used this product could provide some input.

I think you want the waterless wash on the go concentrate for what you are looking for

It's 1:16 ratio

I used it as a rinseless wash and used the detail spray as a presoak. Its very good it leaves a nice wax finish. I was also wondering about using it as a waterless.

fightnews, did you ever use it in the sun, or notice any streaking when using it in very hot weather?

Rinse Free Wash and Wax is a great product and works fine in the sun.

If it dries, just hit it again with with your wash media or even just a damp drying towel. It always looks great.

No need to question a rinseless or waterless cleaner that as contains protection, many do and work well.

It's an excellent product - I use it all the time as a rinseless. I would just caution to dry after each panel or two, including the glass if working in the sun or warm conditions. Leaves behind a nice, clean, smooth finish.

Not really I try not to do anything in the sun if possible.

I was hoping someone answered the question about using it as a waterless wash. I think sometimes it's easier to email customer service. Threads have a way of getting off track
