Armour Detail Supply Hero vs McKee's 37 N914 V2 - Rinseless Wash Battle

In the dedicated video for Armour Detail Supply Hero I had stated that McKee's 37 N914 V2 had more lubricity. I decided to make a dedicated video comparing both rinseless washes to see if there was any differences between the two and which would be the one to choose.

I was ready to run to the lab once I saw this upload, glad I don’t have to😅 I’ll work to make that difference even more drastic

Hey Armour 👋. The rumour have spread across the pond here to the UK. All very positive of course!🎉 I know you've sold out over there, I'm wondering if you will be bringing Hero over here? I believe In2detailing are your UK stockists? Or is there somewhere else that is stocking it currently? I'd love to buy a bottle to try- take my money 💰

[@DarkHorseDetailing]

This was a very good honest comparison! Great video!

[@MikeGDetailing]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@thesamsquatch5224]

Mike G bringing the 🔥🔥 These are both really awesome! ADS is hard to beat

[@MikeGDetailing]

Agreed. So many good choices.

[@jeffc6832]

I've finally made it in life, I got a mention in a Mike G video! 🤣 You're 100% correct, there are a lot of factors in play in regard to user experience and results. When it comes to rinseless, we're getting spoiled now with a lot of great choices. Try one out or try them all and see what works best for you in your situation.

[@wescat2]

We're definitely spoiled Jeff. You almost can't go wrong with one now.

[@victoryensured7137]

Yeah you are, here in Poland we only have like Mckeys V1 wich sucks donkey balls, ONR (I'm not even going to go there...) Absolute (meh) and DIY (thank God), if I wanted any other ones it's a HUGE shipping cost (bigger then the product cost wich is insane)

[@wescat2]

@@victoryensured7137 At least you have DIY. I use Absolute as a drying aid now. It was my first rinseless.

[@victoryensured7137]

I don't like the ,,oilyness" of it, amongst other things, but i guess im a surfactant type of guy, but not a bad one to start, ive tried recently ONR and my god it's not my cup of tea

[@wescat2]

@@victoryensured7137 Oilyness of Absolute? Don't forget you can't shake it. It'll separate. Have to "rock" it back and forth.

Thanks Becca.

Great comparsion bro

[@MikeGDetailing]

Thanks bro.

[@kevkav5680]

Another great rinseless video demonstration, from the videos I have seen of yours visually Slick X , looks the most impressive, but unfortunately I can never see it being available in 🇬🇧,

[@MikeGDetailing]

Thanks. Slick-X is great. With them being a small business I don't think it will be available there.

[@AmirAbdullah]

I think we’re splitting hairs on a Rinseless especially these nowadays. If you got the car clean, it didn’t streak on the glass we’re definitely splitting hairs.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Yup you are right.

[@HannahsGarage]

Hi Mike - great video. Where do you think Absolute falls into this mix? I've been wanting to try it out especially since many have recommended it as a drying aid at 64:1.

[@MikeGDetailing]

Thanks. I personally would reach for Hero or N914 V2 before reaching for Absolute.

[@DiamondDetailingBuzz]

64:1 is really high for a drying aid. Use it at the 256:1 as your rinseless and as a drying aid. 64:1 should be fit for clay lube and or a quick detailer. I use absolute every day at these ratios

[@seabrew1]

Funny test Mike lol 2 hands!

[@FredShramovich]

Hero is great, I really enjoy it Mike!

[@MikeGDetailing]

Happy to hear this Fred. It really is great.

[@CharlieLiuPhotography]

What up Mike. I've been watching binging your videos and wanted to ask how you would compare the older Mckee sio02 rinseless with the N914 V2. Thanks.

[@MikeGDetailing]

N914 will clean better between the two. If you are looking for a straight cleaner then N914 would be the choice. If you are looking for protection than their SiO2 would be the choice. The lubricity is about the same but the SiO2 will feel slightly slicker during wipe off due to the protection in it.

[@79blustone]

Really good review Mike, youve cleared up a lot for me with this video. A couple of things I'd like to mention. Armour could do with a bigger bottle to match the 'sort of' industry standard for this rinseless wash (more like the sizes we're used to). I they're sold out on their website meaning in the UK it'll probably be ages until we get our hands on to try it out. Whats it like compared to Absolute? Im using Absolute ATM and enjoy the user experience with it. Absolute does leave behind a little residue, but its easy to wipe off. The 350GSM Eagle edgless is a great towel but it does lint quite a bit. It has me second guessing if I've marred my paintwork now and then. I prefer The Pearl towel as this holds its fibres more and seems great for rinseless washing. I use deionised water with rinseless washing as it cleans better with less marks. I would be cool to see a comparison test between Absolute and Hero. 👍

[@MikeGDetailing]

ADS stated on the livestream that they will be staying with 16 oz bottles and gallons. Similar to DIY Detail. Absolute is a good rinseless wash. Sure it has its quirks with it being clumpy but for the most part it is a good rinseless wash. Hero cleans better. I will add this comparison video into the mix.

[@ocshine.detailing]

Feynlab Pure Rinseless V3 may overtake Hero . Don’t sleep on it

[@MikeGDetailing]

We will see whenever it shows up. I ordered on April 1 and still nothing. They ended up sending out the bottle to Georgia instead of California. So I asked for a refund and not sure if I will repurchase.

[@Ecdetails]

Its good real good but hero still better in some ways and I love feynlab v3

[@wescat2]

Great video Mike. At the end of the day I think in '24 95% of them are great. I'm sure most consumers want something that cleans and rinses the media clean easily. I did order Hero last night. Can't wait to use it.

[@MikeGDetailing]

You are going to enjoy Hero. ADS got this one right.

[@wescat2]

@@MikeGDetailing Kudos to you for putting them on the map first.

[@MikeGDetailing]

@@wescat2 thanks Wes. I was not expecting Eddie to even mention that in the live stream yesterday as well as Bradley commenting on that as well.

[@wescat2]

@@MikeGDetailing You know I hold your opinion high. The fact you went on CR with Mike P. & ADS shout out. As far as I'm concerned you're on the Rushmore of detailers.

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

N 914 cost about $34 for 32 oz, plus you use 1 oz per gallon, as stated on their website. Hero is NOT available on Amazon, will it be listed in the future?

[@westcoasttools5179]

How does Mckees v2 compare to onr v5. I’m an onr user just because it’s tried and true. Which new rinseless gives a similar experience to onr in your opinion?

[@MikeGDetailing]

I was not impressed with ONR V5. I had a little ONR V3 and V3 in my opinion is better than V5. N914 V2 has better lubricity and better cleaning. Let me check if I have some ONR V5 left and compare it to N914 V2.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

After running out of ONR, I definitely buy HERO

[@MikeGDetailing]

You will realize how good Hero is when you use it.

[@Standard_MT]

N914 V1 was trash as a panel prep… also, if you like keeping diluted solution in spray bottles like I do, even diluted with distilled water, N914’s shelf life is only a few weeks long… I DM’d ADS and they confirmed a shelf life of over a year with HERO if you use distilled water.

[@mutatedgenome]

What didn't you like about the DIY rinseless?

[@MikeGDetailing]

The current version of DIY although it is great, it has been surpassed by some of the new comers. I am looking forward to version 2 when it is ready.

[@coreyh4947]

Really nice comparison, but the elephant in the room is value for money. Hero is $17.99 for 16oz. Rrw is $20 for a liter and Feynlab is $22 for a liter. I bought Hero on release today mainly to support the brand. It's going to have to blow me away because Feynlab v3 is awesome. You can push the dilution to 1:384 and lose nothing in terms of effectiveness.

[@MikeGDetailing]

If Fenylab V3 ever shows up I will check it out. I ordered it on April 1st and it was sent to Atlanta, georgia instead of California. I did ask them for refund so not sure what they are doing as I have not even seen that.

[@coreyh4947]

@@MikeGDetailing That sucks and it's the kind of communication and service that drives customers away. I posted elsewhere, but I'm not sure the v3 isn't just with v1 with some added slickness. I used a lot of v1 and it smells exactly the same and I had to up the dilution to 1:384 just like I did with v1. It doesn't appear to clean wheels and tires as well, but not far off.

[@barrybij8079]

how strong is the idrosave protection?

[@MikeGDetailing]

It is pretty durable. The fact that it will leave ceramic spots that are hard to remove if left unattended or working larger than one panel at a time. This has been the number one complaint I get about the product.

[@mariosantiago8931]

with these 2 Mckees 37 I would have the #1 for the price....

[@eliashdez]

My huge red flag with ADS hero is that contains SiO2, and if you mist this product on a sprayer, you might get something of those SiO2 particles in your lungs eventually, which recently was discovered that causes huge health problems.

Here my understanding: People aren’t reading the directions and how about measuring out what the directions are printed. Nope many want to just glue glug it and end up with smearing/ streaking which it displays too much product used improperly. Final conclusion is this product stinks. Yeah right 👀

Are you talking about a certain “spa” 😂😂

I'd love to compare them . . but hero isn't out yet . . been waiting allll daaayy. Thanks for the comparison though! I have v2 and RWW. I like them both, but I think I like RWW just a smidge more, probably because of scent.
