Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't D114 a rinsless (@1:128) that can be used as a waterless (@1:4).
I've tried to buy into the idea of using a rinsless as a waterless, but the dillution ratios make it cost prohibitive.

@1:4?
Might you be thinking about Meguiar's D115?

I've used 2 different waterless washes to date with great success. My first was ECO TOUCH, won a contest for it here on AG (thanks Nick) and it was very easy to use! Its all environmentally friendly contents and left a VERY nice finish!! The next and current one is Griot's Garages version of it. This product is equally easy to use and also leaves a great finish and FWIW both products smell great

IMO the key when using ANY waterless wash is plush, MF towel, preferably edgeless ones. Depending upon the size of the car, you should have atleast 6 of them and maybe one special one for buffing, atleast a dry one for it. Just follow the vids posted here for using the waterless wash and you'll be good to go.

My preference is the OPT No Rinse/Shine. The verdict on Meg's. D-114 is still out. You will see diff. opinions. My choice is to make sure to get the road salt (chunks) off as soon as possible at coin op. with spray. When the temp. rises then you can work on the rest with what ever product you decide on. This area has been discussed numerous times in past threads, etc.

I actually prefer rinseless over waterless when the car is DIRTY! Pre-washing with rinseless makes it a breeze, then dunking your wash media and wringing it out, again, a lot easier IMO.

That said, you can do the same with waterless but like said before, hitting the quarter carwash before hand is a smart move, plus you'll get more of the stuff off of the car and end up using less towels, that's always a good thing! The same technique mentioned here can also be used when doing a rinseless too:thumbup:

I for one would like to know which edgeless MF towels do you use?

I'm sorry, but ONR sucks as a waterless wash. It's great as a rinseless wash though.

Is that waterless, Bob? D114 is a rinseless at 1:128. You're actually diluting it even more with double the amount of water to use as a waterless wash?? Hard to believe...

I would think a plush MF towel would when used with a waterless wash, would be kind of heavy.
