How do you like it over a popular product like ONR?

Thanks for the review!

I too would like to know how you think it compares to ONR.

Thanks for the review!

I too would like to know how you think it compares to ONR.

I find both to have similar effectiveness in cleaning power, but with the slight advantage to ONR for being easier to dry. Seems to take a marginal amount of less buffing for ONR to be wiped clean.

I like that D114 leaves nothing on the surface, although what ONR leaves behind doesn't supposedly "get in the way" of any LSP.

Either one is a solid choice in my opinion.

Thanks for watching!

Re: Meguiar's D114 Rinse Free Express Wash Review

Just used D114 this past weekend and it was great. As ihaveacarmaro said, it leaves the paint squeaky clean where as you will find some slickness with ONR. One thing I found contrary and it could well been the weather but D114 seem to dry faster than ONR. So with D114, you really want to do a panel at a time. Btw... I thought D114 smelled like blueberry. One question I do have is has anyone used UQW or D156 as drying aid with D114?

Yes I use D156 as drying agent all the time with D114.

Not only do I use UQW/D156 as a drying aid for D114 but I use it after all types of washing.

Thanks Marc. Your review was the first one I saw that made me order the D114 and thank you for that as well. I am contemplating whether I should use Last Touch or UQW/D156 as drying aid. I could be wrong but I thought you mentioned that you also use Last Touch at 1:1 as drying aid as well. Obviously Last Touch is more economical but which do you prefer when used with D114?

I sometimes use Last Touch just to vary things. But I still prefer using UQW/D156 because it offers better protection. It's a spray wax as opposed to Last Touch just being a QD. But both offer a great look and leave the surface extremely slick.

That's good enough for me and D156 it is. Thank you sir!

The pictures in the thread I linked above is a result of D114+D156. The CR-V was also CBP so you should get the same results. I think it came out very shiny.

And I wouldn't worry about being economical with D156. The gallon jug will last you a very long time. You don't use a lot of product when using a spray wax.
