McKee's N-914 As A Quick Detailer?

[Madprops89]

I recently switched to Sonax PNS and have been using Wolfgang Uber WW as a quick detailer and waterless wash. I'm interested in using McKees's N-914 in place of the Uber because it doesnt leave anything behind to hinder the PNS and due to the great reviews I've been seeing, but I haven't seen any posts of anyone using it as a quick detailer. Does anyone have experience using N-914 in place of Uber or any other QD?

You should be OK, use the waterless wash concentration ratio.

Here's a good article from Mike P. :

The difference between a Normal Car Wash, a Waterless Car Wash, a Rinseless Car Wash and a Spray Detailer (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/hot-topics-and-frequently-asked-questions/23645-difference-between-normal-car-wash-waterless-car-wash-rinseless-car-wash-spray-detailer.html)

McKee's 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash (https://www.mckees37.com/n-914-rinseless-wash.html)

Waterless Wash: Dilute 1 ounce per 128 ounces (1 gallon) of water to use as a waterless wash. Working one panel at a time, spray a liberal amount of diluted N-914 directly onto the panel and wipe clean using a soft microfiber towel. Switch towels often as you work your way around the entire vehicle.

If you have armed yourself with the knowledge
found in the below Mike Phillips articles; along
with the commonsensical approach that is
needed when using any WW or Spray Detailer...

Then:

N-914 diluted @1:128 ratio makes for an
excellent Spray Detailer/Waterless Wash!

I use a 1/2oz in a 32oz Kwazar and works awesome. It’s double whats required but I feel like a 1/4 oz wouldn’t do much. Anyways love it as a waterless to quick clean a dusty car.

If I want it to look better I really like Ech20 for the look it leaves but feel theirs more effort for removal

Good thing with 914 even if you eye it and over mix you still aren’t leaving anything or streaking. I like echo but have to use very watered down or it’s a streaker for me.

[Madprops89]

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to give it a shot. I liked ECH2O, but it streaks no matter how I use it. I like Uber too, but N-914 is half the price for a gallon and it should work just as good if not better with PNS.

Don't forget about Griot's Garage Brillant Shine rinseless wash and yes, it can be used as a QD[emoji118] This product doesn't get enough attention IMO! It's both cost effective and an awesome performer, get some today and you'll be impressed[emoji876]

I don't know of any waterless wash that cannot be used as a QD.

At 1:128, it’s not slick at all. I use it as a clay lube, however.

I’ve got a small bottle of Uber that sits unused on my detailing cart cuz I like 914 so much better

Agreed the Griots Brilliant Shine is both a great rinseless and a heck of a deal.

What ratio do do you use it at for QD/waterless?

Since Griot’s only endorses it for rinseless duty, and I just haven’t had proper conditions for testing, I haven’t played with it for any other purposes than rinseless. I have mixed it at a higher mix (exactly what I can’t remember since I forgot to mark the bottle) for a pre treatment spray, but that’s as far as I’ve gone with it.

I too haven't used it this way either, only as a RW but 8 always pre-treat my panels for RW. Maybe someone out there HAS done it[emoji848]

This dilution ratio makes for an excellent QD. ;)
