Greetings everyone. This was taken from my original review posted at the release of D114 but modified to include new info. This is just a basic review based on my opinion after one use, but I have since used the product a few times and my opinion has changed to a more positive outlook than originally. I usually don't form an opinion after one use of a product but this one was a little different, it's one of the few that actually impressed me quite a bit right from the beginning. 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
*All pictures taken with iPhone and resized with Kodak EasyShare software, no enhancements made.
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 (not all were used): 2 cheap waffle weave towels, 1 micro fiber drying towel, 1 PakShak Ultra Smooth, 1 micro fiber towel I was testing, 1 micro fiber bone wash pad (media of choice for me)
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 the suds in my rinse bucket (yellow) after just making one pass on the roof of my car, I'm not used to this
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 were expecting rain
Just in case you're curious
Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a rinseless wash that is very slick and 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 because it does exactly what you want (clean) without any frills. I did not notice any additional gloss after using this at the time and soon after found out no glossing agents were added to D114. Overall I'm pleased with this product and do not regret buying a gallon of it and continue to find more uses for it. It will definitely remain in my arsenal and I will not hesitate to ever recommend it to anyone.
Thanks for reading,
Richard
