Review - Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash

[rwright]

Greetings everyone. I wanted to provide my thoughts on a new product from Meguiar's, D114 Rinse Free Express Wash. This is just a basic review based on my opinion after one use. I usually don't form an opinion after one use of a product but this one was a little different. Thoughts shared at the end. On to the review...

Product Name/Manufacturer: D114 Rinse Free Express Wash - Meguiar's

Product Size: 1 US Gallon

Product Price: $39.99 Retail

Directions: Shake well, dilute 1oz. per gallon of water, no directions to make clay bar lubricant or quick detailer

The product:



Here are a few pictures showing the condition of my HHR SS before a quick rinse with my pressure washer:









As you can see I had some grime (very gritty) hanging out in a few crevices that were not washed away after a trip through the touchless.

The tools for the job: 2 cheap waffle weave towels, 1 micro fiber drying towel, 1 PakShak Ultra Smooth, 1 micro fiber towel I'm testing, 1 micro fiber bone wash pad



3 ounces of product measured out



The viscosity is very thin as you can tell in this picture



Something to note and new to me, some slight suds formed after mixing product



Making first pass





Suds runoff



Wiped dry with ease, no streaks





Take note of my rinse bucket (yellow) after just making one pass on the roof of my car



After working my way around the car the thought hit me to show how well this product releases dirt from the wash pad.

Before



After



This is my rinse water after finishing just the paint, I didn't clean the wheels because we are expecting rain



Just in case you're curious




Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a rinseless wash that leaves the paint feeling clean but not loaded down with polymers that may or may not interfere with an LSP, this is the one. To me it's like the Shampoo+ of the rinseless world. I did not notice any additional gloss after using this. The downside to this product is the dilution ratio at nearly the same price as other rinseless washes. Overall I'm pleased with this product and do not regret buying a gallon of it. It definitely has a place in my arsenal but is not the end all to rinseless washes either.

Thanks for reading.

Interesting to see how well dirt is released from your wash media. That's one thing that I haven't like about ONR (V2). Granted, I use a white microfiber mitt, so it will show more dirt, but it still ends up pretty dingy after finishing an ONR wash.

Thanks for the review! I still have old DP 4-in-1, and that stuff is terrible. I really here you on the "loaded down with polymers" note, and it does not release grit at all.

Looks like I will be picking up some of this next.

Great review! One thing I hate about ONR washes is I can never seem to get my wash media completely clean again

Great review.

I am sad about the dilution ratio. I was hoping it would be the same as ONR.

Sadly I think that will make me not purchase this.

Thanks for the review!! I was debating on getting it, but I think I'll wait until I use up my DP rinseless wash.

Yes, I've noticed the same. Glad its not just me.

(Still, ONR is a great product.)
