I'm not a fan of rinseless washing, BUT....

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I've switched from a traditional soap to a rinseless soap for the washing part. I now use Meguiars D114. At 1:256 combined with a Griots Wash pad, this combo EASILY has the most lubricity of any soap I've ever used. For stronger cleaning ability, you can use 1:128.

My process for washing the paint is:

Foam cannon with AutoFinesse Avalanche
Rinse
1-bucket + Grit Guard + Meguiars D114
Rinse

Simple yet effective!

IMHO:

Meguiar's has, once again, created a product that clearly communicates its value when compared to relative-product
offerings of their competition.

Friend of mine uses a similar method. Seems to work well, but he has a white truck, so it is difficult to tell if there is any damage being caused (Not sure why there would be)

Agreed. It is my go to rinseless at this point. I've all but thrown out my other rinseless products.

You don't use the garry dean method? IMO, much better than traditional rinseless

[parttimer]

The GD method is the way to go, the only way to do rinseless in my opinion. Yeah, you use more towels but it is faster and safer.

I use the same method only in winter. D114 and D115 are without equal in my opinion. A variation of that which works the rest of the year is...presoak with D115, then proceed with D114 with either bucket method or GD method. It is actually better than a traditional wash chemically speaking. And D114 is perfect for coatings as it leaves nothing behind but slickness. Can even strip wax at high concentration.

Mark, pretty much a ditto here, except I'm unsold on the pre-foaming step.

Indoors in winter if the car is particularly nasty I pre-soak with a houseplant sprayer and D114 at 1:32 or 1:64 then follow with 1:128 or 1:256 2BM. Again, Proline grout sponges (two of them, one soaking while the other is in use) on nasty salt-encrusted cars, or MM IncrediPads on normal dirt.

I guess I'll try foaming outdoors again if it ever warms up here.

FWIW I've dedicated what's left of my gallon of Other No Rinse as a windshield washer fluid adjunct at about 1:64.

D114 sounds interesting...has anyone used it as a clay lube as of yet? If so, what dilution did you use?

I put an ounce in a 32oz bottle. Seems to do ok as a clay lube. 114 is so reasonable I'm liberal with it
