Introduction:
Recent advances in detailing technology allowed us to have various options on how we wash and maintain our vehicles. Rinseless washing has become a popular option for people who live in apartments or condos where there`s no access to any hose. Also, people who live where there`s water restrictions. There are lots of good products available in the market right now but one product stood out in the past few years and that is the Meguiar`s D114 - Rinse Free Express Wash. This product left nothing behind and cleaned dirty surfaces very effectively. Unfortunately, Meguiar`s decided to discontinue this product due to low sales and this disappointed a lot of fans of this product.
McKee`s 37 to the rescue! Nick @ McKee`s 37 used his magic and developed this product to replace Meguiar`s D114. Is it as good of a product as that? Let`s find out!
Review:
I normally would do a how-to article when doing rinseless or waterless. But I`ve written a few how-to articles already with regards to that topic so I won`t do that anymore.

Now let`s continue on to the N-914 review.
Here`s a picture of the product description and directions:
Upon opening the bottle cap, you are greeted with a great aroma - it smells like a very sweet candy. Can`t pinpoint the exact flavor but I just want to eat the product up LOL! You also notice lots of bubbles inside the bottle:
The test subject for this review hasn`t been washed in about a month. And we had a very huge rain storm last weekend where I drove through the rain for about 180 miles. Thankfully, the vehicle wasn`t totally dirty because it`s coated with Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating. Here are some before pictures showing how dirty the car was:
The grey color makes it harder to capture the crud that has built up on the paint surface.
To use the McKee’s 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash as a rinseless wash, the dilution ratio is 1:256. So you add an ounce of N914 to 2 gallons of water.
First, you pour the product on a measuring cup:
Measure approximately an ounce. Here you can see the product`s color is green. Again, the bubbles are evident.
Add your rinseless wash to your bucket of water:
Here`s the N-914 mixing in with the water:
Normally, you`d have the proper amount of water in your bucket before adding your rinseless wash solution. In this case, I only added 1 gallon of water first because I wanted to test how much suds the solution will produce when agitated. Here`s a picture of me blasting the solution with the hose:
As you can see, there are lots of bubbles and suds being created (not that it`s important). In fact, here`s how much suds it created when I brought up the water level to 2 gallons:
Even though there are lots of suds, the suds quickly dissipate once you start washing the paint. Here`s a video showing how this product is used and dried:
Here`s a picture on how the N-914 rinseless solution looked moments after washing the panel:
As you can see, the rinseless wash solution beaded up. This is mainly because of the Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating I have on the car. You can also see in the video that drying the panel was effortless and a breeze.
To be honest, I wasn`t really a big fan of rinseless washing. I much prefer waterless washing. When ONR first came out, everybody was going crazy over this product but I didn`t like it as much. I`m sure one of the reasons back then was that rinseless washing was still new so I had a hard time convincing myself on how safe rinseless washing is when used with the proper technique. But the other main reason why I hated ONR was that it stained the wash media you`re using. So of course, I had to test this with the N-914. Here`s a photo of the dirt I accumulated from washing one panel:
Agitating the microfiber towel against the grit guard:
The results are GREAT! The microfiber towel released majority, if not all of the dirt that was on the microfiber towel:
Now let`s try it on some nasty wheels:
Use a microfiber towel or your favorite wheel washing media to clean the surface with N-914:
After drying the wheels off:
Looks pretty clean to me!
Don`t forget to dress your tires using your favorite tire product. For me, I love using the McKee`s 37 Gloss Tire Gel.
Apply the tire dressing on the tire:
After. Very nice looking wheel and tire using McKee`s 37 products:
After washing the entire car with N-914, I used one of my favorite spray waxes, McKee`s 37 Fast Wax, on the entire vehicle. Spray the fast wax on:
Then spread it around and buff it off to reveal a high gloss shine:
Now enjoy the fruits of your labor. Here are some after shots:
Look at that shine!
The following pictures show how clean the car is:
