That’s interesting and I sort of know what you mean now that you mention it (never thought of it before). I was just thinking maybe I’ll try doubling concentration to 1:64 per Klasse’s comment, but I would guess this would add to whatever wipe-off difficulty you are mentioning that I acknowledge.
Decisions, decisions.

Maybe it is the Pittsburgh atmosphere?? On a side note, anybody else ever think 914 is just Megs D114 with different coloring? I swear Megs sold the formula to McKees. It is almost exactly the same in my opinion.

•I don’t think it is. However:
-I’m not going to swear for, or against, the
ownership of D114’s formulation being bandied
about, or not. (BTW: doesn’t Griot’s Garage also
lay claim to a “D114-ish” product?)
-Then again:
reverse engineering is not a novel idea.
Regardless:
Meguiar’s D114 is, IMO, still the undisputed
champion in the realm of alternative car wash-
ing products that “leaves nothing behind”.

Re: New Collinite quick detailer
Well, I believe what your saying about hard to remove because there's no reason to lie but my experience is 180 degrees in the opposite direction when using it as a WW. I will say that in addition to using 2 ounces per gallon for WW ratio, I believe it says 1 ounce on the jug, I also make it up using distilled water because I make a gallon at a time and I don't want anything breaking down the product, maybe try distilled

Hmm that is very interesting. I wonder why that might be. I recently started using N 914 as a WW. I've never been a fan of WW before but N 914 has made me a believer and I personally haven't experienced the difficulties you have.

Re: New Collinite quick detailer
I'll give it another shot. Last time I tried it was 34 degrees in my garage, maybe that had an effect. I wonder if changing to 1\64 will help?

Yeah that could very well have a lot to do with it.

If you do try 1:64, please let me know your thoughts. I have half a gallon to use before trying a different dilution, but if it works great in your environment I would gladly follow suit.
