Meguiar's D114 Rinsefree Express Wash Is Discontinued

[Dereksdtail]

I have about 20-25oz, if anybody wants to trade for some Wolfgang uber let me know!

All recommendations pertaining the alternative products are great, but are they also perform the same versatility as waterless and rinsless wash with stripping wax ability?

I don't see what the big deal is about this stuff?

Is it some magic juice or something?

I guess people are upset because, supposedly, it leaves "nothing" behind.

What is the big deal???

Just find another rinseless you like: ONR, Pinnacle, Ultima, etc... They are all really good.

And if *somehow* these are "messing up" your wonder glass-ceramic coating's nano bridges, than your coating sucks.

The others are good but I think 114 was the best cleaner. I used it to clean the interior. I don't how uber or onr would be inside the car.

D114 is really really economical as a waterless wash & clay lube.

Because it is one of the only ones that works on coated cars. Everything else streaks, or hazes.

^^^^^^

• An excellent interior and exterior cleaner!
• I also like the fact that it is "body-shop safe".

Bob, since you introduced me to this product may be you can answer this, what is the shelf life of D114? Is it worth to stock up 2-3 gallons and use them with in 4 years?

Have not had any issues with ONR over coated cars. Works just like D114.

I'm sorry, I don't believe D114 stripped/strips durable wax at any dilution. It may strip off spent oils from polishes, but I known something like Eraser, that has *some* alcohol in it (more like a lot) - will not strip durable waxes - like Collinite.

IMHO, the only thing that you can wipe on a panel to reliably strip "wax" is either a strong acid, or a strong non water miscible solvent - like mineral spirits.

The thing is, waxes are composed of non water soluble components that generally repel things that are soluble in water (like rinseless washes). That is why there is no "soap" that can reliable strip wax.

APCs *may* strip wax (they are water soluble), but in order for them to do this reliably, they are best used neat - so they are at the very high end of the pH scale.

So if it isn't some type of strong alcohol, chemical solvent, or at the extremes of the pH scale; I don't think you can say you can wipe it on a panel to remove durable waxes - regardless of what the manufacturer claims.

I tested ONR on the interior of my old Bronco, it had years of dirt built up from camping and dog hauling.

I used 1 bucket, 3 gallons of water with 1.5 oz of ONR, a wash mitt, and drying towels. It took off 95% of the dirt from the vinyl floors, then I dipped a microfiber towel in the filthy water and washed my windows. They came clean!

I kept expecting to see mud spread around when things dried but that never happened. The bucked had at least an inch of silt at the bottom.

Now when I look at the bottle of ONR all I think is Voodoo!
