High today of 41° winds outta the NW at 10-15 with gusts to 25!!! I ain't washing the car outside today! :laughing:

I've never used D114 before and this would be a perfect time to pop the cork on the bottle. Car was washed and WDGPS was applied last weekend so car isn't too dirty. I've got tons of the blue edgeless towels and I'll use as many as needed. Any tips would greatly be appreciated!

Let me suggest that even if you've watched
it before...take a few minutes to watch the
below D114/D115 video:

It's super easy. No streaks. I use one ounce per two gallons unless it's super dirty. Cleans well. I think you'll like it, as many of us here do!!

Presoak each panel. Work in small areas at a time. Resist urge to use pressure and multiple passes with a dirty side. Flip towel often to clean side and inspect for debris that might scratch the paint often.

It's been 6hrs. so I'll assume you've already washed it. How'd it go?

So how exactly did you mix your solution? Hose water guesstimate and add D114? Or did you go full on OCD with it and buy gallons of distilled water and precisely measure the D114? [I go full on OCD with everything I dilute lol]
What dilution ratio did you use? And how many towels did you go through?

i know ONR doesn't need distilled water because the product softens the water anyway.

does 114 soften the water too? i finally got a gallon of it to try, but, i intend on NOT using distilled just like ONR. granted, my garage water outlets are softened anyway, but they certainly still have trace solids!

1oz D114 to 2gal hose water in 5 gal bucket. My city water is actually pretty good. Garry Dean method used 8 blue edgeless towels.

Never used it before and wanted to try it out. Smelled like a strawberry field in my garage. :laughing:

D114 does not require distilled water. I'm just OCD. I even dilute my Super Degreaser with distilled water. Lol.
