Review & How-To: Meguiars D115 Rinsefree Express Wash and Wax

Very well thought out and explained. Thank you for going to so much trouble in doing, explaining, and photographing this.

Nice review, thanks.

I`m surprised that the rinse-less dilution ratio is the same as the water-less. Why would that be? I would think the required ratios would be similar to those of UWW+.

Preaching to the choir man. I think this product is made for waterless and not rinseless. The product name shouldn`t be "rinsefree" IMHO.

To me the “rinsefree” makes sense. Because in reality a rinse-less & water-less wash are both “rinsefree”

Waterless would never fit either -- I mean you have to add water lol...

curious why would you use mineral water?

I wanted to use clean water as opposed to tap water.

Very nice review. One of Meguiar`s strong points for me is their products are usually cheaper with just as good of results if not better than their competitors. With Ultima Waterless Wash Plus and Pinnacle Liquid Crystal Waterless Wash Concentrate with Carnuba they are still going to have to do a little more work. Both of those are available in gallon size which will be a much better value.

I just want to follow up on this review. I`ve used this product more now (about 3 times after this review) and I get amazed even more. Not only does it clean very well, safe and effectively but it produces a brilliant shine! This product leaves the surface with an amazing gloss and depth. And I`m only using it at 10:1-12:1! What more if I use the suggested 4:1! In addition, it makes the surface extremely slick!

I know for sure that when I run out of both my D115 and UWW+, I will for sure buy another gallon of this product. IMHO, it is that good.

I`m still with you on this stuff. Just wrote up a comparison of the six waterless wash products I had been testing and D115 stole the show for me. It`s the one I`ll be sticking with. Now what to do with all the others I have is the question? :lol2:

Shhh but trade for D115!!! LOL!

I`m ready to offer someone a trade in program if they buy a gallon of D115 and try enough to make a 16oz bottle at 1:4 (roughly 3.5oz) and don`t like it I`ll trade full bottles of DP concentrate 32oz, Pinnacle concentrate 16oz, UWW+ concentrate 12oz (all that`s left in mine, not quite full like the others), and a 16oz RTU bottle of Ecosmart RU for that gallon minus 3.5oz of D115 and they can decide for themselves what they like best.

Excellent review! How does it do cleaning off tree sap mist? I`ve read that Megs UWWA is similar to D115 used at full strength. The UWWA has great shine and slickness but it`s ability to remove tree sap mist was disappointing. M135 (only a QD) and UWW+ do much better at removing the tree sap mist. I was just wondering if the D115 had better cleaning ability than UWWA.

Excellent review! One day when on sale I`ll try D115.

This is the reason I stick to UWW+, I buy the gallon while on sale, comes out to $.0106 per oz. UWW+ can also use be used as rinseless and clay lube, this gives it more value.

I bought some of this and I am VERY impressed with it! The gloss and slickness are incredible.

I have most of the other waterless washes, including Pinnacle, Blackfire, and Ultimate Waterless Wash Plus. They are all very good but I like the D115 the best.
