D115 Rinse Free Express Wash & Wax

Re: Mid-Year Introduction - D115 Rinse Free Express Wash & Wax

Where can I get that green hand held pump sprayer at the very right, Mike?

Why specifically the green one on the right? Why not the red one from ACE Hardware in the middle - it even matches your car! Plus, well, according to the graphic on the bottle you can probably pick it up at ACE Hardware. But that's just a guess on my part.




Yes, I'm being a bit of a smarty pants here, but Marc is a friend of mine so he knows I'm just playing with him.

Marc08EX, the only place I found online for that pump sprayer you want. I think it's made in the UK because a couple websites have them. Here is one in the first link. I also found some on Ebay(second link) also from the UK I believe but only about 9.00 shipping included(ships worldwide). Not bad if that's the exact one you want.

Marc, I have a hand held sprayer like that that I purchased at Home Depot.

Marc08EX, you can get that pump sprayer at Wal-Mart. I got mine on dysart and the I-10 but you might have one closer to you. It's about 8 bucks and it's close to the garden section by the weed sprayers.

Thanks for the suggestions, John and SwunMurrieta!! I think the green one at the very right of Mike Stoops' post is different from the ones you can buy from Home Depot and Wal-mart. I'm looking for the exact one like the green one Mike posted.

Why not just reuse the UWWA bottles if you have them?

Have you tried applying waterless wash solution using a hand pump sprayer? If not, you should try it. You'll never go back to normal sprayer again.

I'm assuming you will do one of your thorough and informative write-ups when you do Marc? Looking forward to it!

I'm definitely planning on doing an extensive and through review on this product. I plan on comparing the different dilutions against each other and against the RTU UWWA and the Ultima UWW+. I'm pretty excited!!!

I'm going to buy this when my UWW+ concentrate runs out. I will definitely use it between 4:1 and 8:1 as a waterless wash product.

I will have a video up on YOUTUBE soon about D115.

Please post up the link when available Joe.

I have had the fortune to test these types of products for Meguiars over the last few months and.................. I LOVE D115!!!! I'd like to think I helped influence the final product outcome in some small way -LOL!! I will have a video up on YOUTUBE soon about D115.

Thanks for the update again Mike, confirming past posts.

Any insight on if there will be a Detailer Line bottle that this product can be diluted into?

Re: Mid-Year Introduction - D115 Rinse Free Express Wash & Wax

I think many looked at the name and assumed the product can be diluted like D114, but the wax aspect made the dilution ratio not as impressive as the original
Like mentioned before maybe the product should be call simply " Express Wash & Wax" ?
I hope it's the same color as UWWA, as I have 7 bottles....I can refill and sell to my friends

Thanks for the explanation Mike! It seems that this product will certainly beat other products in the "wax" aspect. I'm going to buy this when my UWW+ concentrate runs out. I will definitely use it between 4:1 and 8:1 as a waterless wash product.

Is the color milky white like that of consumer UWWA?

Where can I get that green hand held pump sprayer at the very right, Mike?

Re: Mid-Year Introduction - D115 Rinse Free Express Wash & Wax

Our recommendation for use is a 4:1 dilution ratio. We did this so that volume users could easily pour the gallon jug of D115 into a 5 gallon container with 4 gallons of water and be good to go. We've heard more and more feedback from early testers that D115 works equally well as a waterless wash when diluted 8:1 and used in a hand pump low pressure sprayer like those shown below:



When used this way the cost is down to about $.067/ounce compared to Ultimate Wash & Wax Anywhere, which is about $.50/ounce at retail prices. UWWA is what you should really be comparing this to, not D114 or any of the ONR products. From a performance competitive standpoint, the polymer protection and gloss left behind with D115 is far superior to other brands on the market. For all the requests we had for a bulk version of UWWA, this is the answer. Now, when you consider that you could dilute this as far as 20:1 (going to be most common in high humidity areas) the cost becomes even more attractive. You will lose some gloss, however, at those extended dilutions.

As a rinseless wash, the same 8:1 to 4:1 range is going to be recommended. This is to ensure getting the maximum out of the product - by which we mean not just maximum safe cleaning but also maximum gloss and protection. We generally don't think of a wash & wax product as being a true wax application but more just a bit of a wax boost. With D115 the protection left behind is noticeable and surprisingly durable. It's a synthetic polymer blend, and as such we actually do not recommend that you wash with this product if you intend to follow the wash with any sort of paint correction. The polymers in D115 are slick enough, and durable enough, to impede machine polishing. Just as you would not want to apply D156/UQW just before paint correction, neither do you want to apply D115. We've even seen an impediment to damp sanding following a fresh application of a durable polymer such as is found in the above mentioned products. Our competitors aren't making those sort of claims for the level of protection and gloss afforded by their similar rinseless/waterless products.

For those of you who use the rinseless wash method that Garry Dean suggests, you know that with just 3 gallons of wash solution mixed in a bucket you can easily wash a dozen or more cars. Or in this case, wash and wax a dozen or more cars. With an 8:1 dilution ratio you can do this 4 times, which is practically enough to wash and wax a single car every week for a year. For a daily driver that you are more interested in keeping looking good and well protected (as opposed to a show car or weekend toy that you want to keep at an extremely high level) that may be almost all you need.
