An acrylic component that adds gloss, some pretty good protection and is pretty slick feeling. Basically Ultima's version of a wash and wax type product.

These days I use WG Uber as a waterless and it checks all the boxes... But I have to admit, Meguiars D115 Rinse Free Wash & Wax @6:1 is clearly better in terms of lubricity and cleaning ability. D115 also does a better job at clinging to the paint instead of beading and running off no matter how much you spray onto a panel [which is great because you can really saturate a vertical panel if you want to]

They both shine very good. [Uber is quite remarkable for its gloss considering there's no "wax" in it]
Both are smooth on the final wipe [with a slight edge to D115]
D115 smells better [at least I think so]
D115 contains wax. [that may or may not be a good thing depending on your preference]
WG Uber doesn't contain any wax and therefore won't interfere with what you've already got going as far as protection. [which is 1 of the main reasons I chose it]
WG Uber is more budget friendly.
D115 dilutes to make quite a massive amount at the high concentration of 6:1 and can be stretched as far as 20:1 to make that gallon yield an unbelievable 21 gallons of waterless wash [probably more like detail spray at that ratio. I dunno I've never actually tried it @20:1]

I miss using D115

ONR vs Wolfgang Uber Rinseless

Of the two... which would you pick... and why?

I'm seeing that ONR is roughly 1/2 the concentration power of WUR for about 1.5x price difference.
I've never used WUR, so I'm not sure if it easier to use or gives better results than ONR?

I've used both. The main difference I noticed is Wolfgang Uber is more slick than ONR. It's one of my favorite clay lubes for that reason. Right now I'm using N-914 and although not as slick as Uber, I think I like it best so far because of it's cleaning ability and the way it wipes up so clean and easily.

I think WUR may have slightly more gloss to it. You really can't go wrong either way, but if I was only choosing one, would probably go with WUR.

I use CarPro ECO2o or ONR. ONR is better imo. I love ONR, plus it smells like snozberries.

Its been around for a while..if I had to guess, at least 2 years.

No single answer. Is your car coated? Do you want something to add gloss, or just to clean it? Need to answer these first, I think.

Car is not coated, looking more for cleaning than added gloss. Thanks RippyD

McKee37 N914
My new fav I can't mention on here..
Between the two I can do. Multiple services

N914 for express wash, wash after compound or polish if need be
Maintenance wash

The other can replace my basic exterior...or can be used as a coating booster

I use them as rinseless..only time I use as waterless is when I do jambs or engine bay
