    Re: Favorite Waterless Wash

    I never even considered using it as a waterless wash until I read it on bottle and it said right on there.

    It works good as a remover for PNS and give it that extra pop of shine and gloss

    As you said, it's not the N-914 causing the beading. What's the issue with beading?

    No issue at other than I go through like 6 towels because the tight beads cause the microfiber to absorb more product. But overall I LOVE waterless washing now and 914 just makes so much sense to me. It cleans and that’s it. That’s what shampoo/soap is designed to do.

    Wolfgang Uber is the best I've tried. Cleans, doesn't streak, slick, good lubricity, economical and leaves nice shine.

    Re: Favorite Waterless Wash

    I don't use them very often, but I do use them as a pre-soak for when I do rinseless wash is. I used to be a big Wolfgang Uber fan, but I felt the polymers or interfering with the action of the hydrophobic coating I had on the car. Fortunately, I have a bunch of leftover D114 as well as some N914. So, when I do a waterless wash, I use those two now.

    Started using Ultima. I think I was expecting amazing things from it, based on everyone liking it.

    Blackfire's is pretty good. It seems to make metallic paint pop a bit more.

    Re: Favorite Waterless Wash

    Pinnacle is the only one I was not happy with. I tried to like it and as it was the first WW I tried it almost soured me from the process as a whole. To use up the remainder of the Pinnacle I used it to “condition “ my rinse water for my two BM washes. I subsequently found Meguires d114 and McKees N-914 for coated vehicles and they changed my view on waterless washes (for the better). I also like CarPro ECH2O for waterless/rinseless washing when I want to add some shine to the wash.

    Re: Favorite Waterless Wash

    You think it made any real difference as a "conditioner?"

    I've always wondered about that. Lately, even more so. As in, what happens to the crud or minerals or whatever/ Do they get dissolved by the "conditioner" ???

    Glad to see you use it up, though.
