Re: Another Use For D114 - Rinse Free Express Wash

Guys, just tested this against fresh motor oil on paint and it cut through without issue and left zero residue!

Unless the IPA is necessary to breakdown wax/oils I would just use D114 with water only and not add the IPA. The IPA forms bonds with water, while in the Rinse free express wash is Propylene Glycol which tends to capture water but in a way to retain moisture and increase working time. IPA tends to be volatile and take some water with it during evaporation.
Unless it is absolute necessary, I would not use IPA in this mix. You will likely end up with less working time than without it.

That's the purpose of this mix, to break down oils from polish residue to leave a bare surface. This is NOT a routine wash mix, QD mix, or clay bar lubricant mix.

I'm surprised that D114 alone at that dilution ratio is not enough to leave a bare surface.

At a dilution ratio that strong, it most likely is leaving a bare surface.

I used the mix again this week on another black car and it performed excellent. Cut through polish residue with ease and left a squeaky clean surface.

I'm curious, do you think that Optimum No Rinse could be substituted in place of the D114? ONR is all I have right now.

People have used ONR but I chose D114 because it leaves the paint squeaky clean, ONR adds gloss and slickness. Chris stated that any polymers left behind by ONR would not interfere. Not wanting to take chances, I went with D114 and couldn't be happier. There is a vendor in Pittsburgh, PA that sells samples of D114 if you're not ready for a gallon. Hope this helps.
