Meguiar's D114 as Quick Detailer?

[ymc226]

I want to get a cheap QD as I use a lot of it. I have ONR but read it does not have the lubricity common of most QDs and is not good as a QD at the specified dilution ratio. UWW+ is good but not cheap though it is on sale right now.

Does anyone use Meguiar's D114 as a QD? If so at what dilution and is there the slickiness and lubricity that one expects from a QD?

Yep, it's Excellent.

For "Light" Cleaning: 1:256... this is Clay Lube strength also.

For anything over "Light": 1:128 . I found @ this ratio, it's a bit "grabby" with the initial wipe but very slick after the "Final" wipe.

hope it helps

Thanks for the response.

Just another thought, if using as a QD, would D114 or D115 be better?

Depends if you want protection left behind. D115 will leave behind some wax whereas D114 will leave nothing behind.

I sure don't! What a versatile and cost-effective product.

To date:
A considerable body of evidence has been presented
that shows Meguiar's D114 has a substantial degree
of longitudinal, as well as cross-situational consistency.

You can use it as a QD but don't expect it to enhance gloss. Other than that it will meet just about every expectation you can imagine. Solid product.
