Agree. Wolfgang Uber or go home.

Gloss Shop Trifecta, Uber and Ultima Acrylic are the best.

In that case N-914. Not sure about the Chemical Guys, but the rest all leave some glossing product behind. N-914 is a pure cleaner.

I use Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine.

I do have a sample of D114 here, but don't have the heart to use it yet.

Is this based on cleaning ability, shine, or something else? I don't see a lot of difference. Already mentioned Ultima Acylic, which is excellent but takes a little more effort to get off. For me ONR has a little less shine than the rest. Ech2O is better on coated paint, based in what I've read.

I did a quick test on the back of my SUV. Put down tape and waterless washed 4 vertical sections. I wanted to see what looked better and what attracted dust. I prewashed the entire panel with N-914. Then tape, then washed 4 sections with DG, Uber, Ultima Acrylic, and Trifecta. The tape lines attracted the least dust by far. The panel has a sealant on it - can't recall which one. There was no obvious difference in shine between the 4 on white paint.

Regardless, the conclusion I reached is that waterless/rinseless washes with gloss seem to attract some dust. I'll try to do this again with larger N-914 section for comparison. Or maybe I can do 4-5 panels with different products. Pretty easy to do. Harder to get the time and the right light to document.

Keep it for nostalgia reasons if you want and get a gallon of N-914. It does everything D114 does and more.

I'm basing it off full criteria IMO of cleaning, gloss, and lubricity, the key features for me in these products. I put them in order of my favorite obviously.

I use the G3626 Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax Anywhere for spot and panel cleaning (if i'm not doing the whole car with ONR rinseless).

I think its a great product but never see it mentioned and haven't used anything else

Been seeing alot of N914, is this product that much better than the megs and worth me picking up? My car isn't coated so the added protection layer is a plus for me.

EDIT: clarified product name
