Review: McKee`s 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash

The Problem:
(1) Filthy Mazdaspeed Miata that hasn`t been washed in about a month.
In addition to the accumulated dirt and grime, the front-end was also covered in bugs.

Here are some before shots to show what I had to work with:



With all of the bugs on the front-end I knew I would need to first use McKee`s 37 Roadkill Bug Remover along with the Blackfire Bug & Rar Sponge in order to get rid of the bugs.



There was plenty of dirt build up on the backside of the car




And of course there was plenty of brake dust on the wheels.







The Solution:
McKee`s 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash + McKee`s 37 Road Kill Bug Remover

McKee`s 37 N-914 is heavily concentrated, and requires just 2 ounces of product in this bucket along with 2 gallons of water to create enough solution to give a rinseless wash to entire vehicle.



N-914 has a strong Green Apple scent to it that reminds me of hard-candies that I used to have back in the day.
Unlike any other rinseless wash that I`ve used, the N-914 created suds when I filled the bucket with more water.



While I took some before photos of the car, I threw the Bug Sponge into the solution to soften the sponge.



After the sponge had been soaking for a few minutes, I liberally sprayed the front bumper with McKee`s 37 Road Kill Bug Remover



After allowing the Road Kill 30-40 seconds to begin to loosen the bugs I can get straight to work.



Here`s the damage to the sponge after 1 pass.



After the bugs were removed I followed up by using the Rinseless Wash on the Front bumper



Once the bumper was done I went straight to the hood



Drying afterwards was a breeze with a Guzzler towel. I had no issues with streaking.



Once the hood was done, I went around and did the same process on the rest of the paintwork and windows - drying each section as it was completed.







Once the paintwork was done I went ahead and cleaned the wheels using the N-914 Rinseless Wash



50/50 Shot



Here`s a shot afterwards



How`s this for a Merlin Shot?







Conclusion:

I was throughly impressed with the performance of this Rinseless wash. In addition to the great scent, it also provided excellent cleaning power as well as lubiricity(which is very important when using a Rinseless Wash). This formula doesn`t alter the looks of the your surface, which is great if you`ve just applied your favorite wax and just want to clean your car before taking it to a Car Show. This product is a clear winner in my books as a rinseless wash - but when you factor in it`s versatility as a WW,Clay Lube or Paint Prep than it becomes crystal clean that N-914 is a home run.

Nicely done

The N-914 (couldn`t Nick have picked a better name?) is a winner. It`s a clear replacement for our dearly departed Meguires d114. I just used it again today and couldn`t be happier with it. I`m waiting for a good sale to get a gallon.

Now is a great time to offer the products used in this review for 20% off for the next 7 days and provide a link in the review to the 7 day saving section. That would help bring attention to both the 7 day savings section and add even more reason to try out this new rinseless wash! Nice review Paul the bugs on your car were epic for winter time.
