N-914 Rinseless Wash

As an apartment dweller with no external source of water to clean my car at home, I've spent several years making use of rinseless washes to keep my car clean. Across the nearly dozen brands I've tried, McKee's N-914 is a clear winner. Most rinseless washes have versatile dilutions that allow you to use it in a variety of ways - waterless washes, rinseless washes, clay lube, or quick detailers that can be used on your car interior or exterior. McKee's checks all those boxes and has a few properties on top of it that push it to the top for me: #1: You can FEEL the lubricity. One of the keys to effective rinseless washing is having enough lubrication to not mar you car's paint when contact washing using microfibers. McKee's leaves a palpable sense of slickness when spraying down or contact washing so you know that you're contact washing while leaving no swirls behind. #2: The product scent is pleasant! McKee's has a nice color and scent that I enjoy working with. It doesn't leave behind super pungent scents, either - which is exactly what I'm looking for in a product I use bi-weekly. It's made for a great user experience. #3: Value. You get a great amount of product for the money! The value increases as you buy the larger quantity containers, but since storage space is at a premium for me I do just fine with the 32 oz. bottle. It's lasted me two years of regular washes and decontaminations. All in all, buy without hesitation. You won't regret choosing this over nearly every other competing product.

GREAT quality product. Works tremendously well on my satin black wrap. No streaks. Cleans great!

I was looking for a way to wash my car in the winter here in New England. After looking at various YouTube videos, I decided to give this a try since it could be done in my small 1 car garage. This product had great reviews. I thought maybe a bit pricey, but with a dilution of .5 oz to the gallon, it’s actually quite inexpensive. Mixed up 3 gallons tap water to 1.5 oz of N914, filled my pump sprayer with some of the solution from my bucket and washed the car (using inexpensive chenille wash mitt). Using no pressure in the wash mitt, just glided on the surface and dunked it in the solution after every panel and all the road salt and grime came right off. No scratches. Weirdly, when I was done, the water was still pretty clear… until I dumped it in the sink. All the dirt was pulled to the bottom of the bucket under the dirt guard. The garage floor was no more wet than when I pull the car in after a heavy rain. I followed up with a cheap Grant’s drying towel and some Turtle Wax Wax and Dry (also cheap here on Amazon). Clean and shiny! When spring arrives, I’ll probably do a proper wash, decon, and wax, but this stuff will definitely be my go-to for regular maintenance washes year round.

This works really well. I had to ask AI for the amount of McKee's 37 to add to a 32oz bottle at the 1:256 rinse-less ratio because I'm not auto detailer level math proficient.

This product was my introduction to rinseless washes, and it's been an excellent one! I always keep a spray bottle of it in my trunk, ready to use as a quick detailer. I even use N-914 for almost all interior cleaning tasks. It truly impressed me when it effortlessly removed black smudges from my wife's Lexus's light gray, soft fabric A-pillars after a botched windshield repair by Safelite. My only minor complaint with N-914 is its most effective dilution ratio. While it works well at 256:1 for bucket washes, I've found it performs best at 64:1, especially in a pre-spray. This higher concentration can make it a bit costly for larger bucket washes.

Paired with their Big Gold sponge, you have an excellent method for rinseless car washes that save water but still leave you with a clean car. My go to for rinseless car washing.

I absolutely love this product. It has made washing the cars so much easier. I mix it up in a bucket then fill a sprayer. I spray the car down, rinse it, and then go into the hand wash. I find this wash is faster and does a better job that traditional car soap. One big perk is it helps soften your water which reduces water spots. I have also used it as a detail spray and it works great for that as well. I haven’t used it as a clay lube yet but do look forward to trying that out.

Spray some of this on and be amazed how well it cleans just rinsing.(rinse-less not no rinse!) After another spray and contact wash the paint is squeaky(literally) clean. I cannot get over watching me dunk a dirty sponge in the bucket and a clean sponge comes out. At half an ounce per gallon this will make 64 gallons of cleaning solution.
