Definitive How-To Guide for Rinseless Washing Your Car with Nick Rutter & Yvan Lacroix | McKee’s 37

I will give credit and thank Yvan for my Rinseless Washing career. I knew nothing about Rinseless washing before watching Yvan’s videos

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thank you

I've used ONR for years and just switched to McKee's. So far very impressed. I see there are different dilutions for Rinseless and Waterless wash. What is the difference?

[@emerytaber612]

How do you prevent overspray when you pressure wash the rinses wash off (pre rinse)? When I use the pressure washer some of the water flies onto uncleaned parts of the car and creates water spots. How do I avoid this?

Appreciate the free education! Video idea: Your favorite (yet underrated) McKee’s products. So far I’ve used and liked 914 and the floor mat rejuvenator, but I’m not as familiar with your other products.

Thank you

When they said "Polymer's Spots" at 11:00, does it means N-914 does actually have polymers in it? I thought it was a pure cleaner.

[@heliocastillo3909]

Can I fill my 5 gallon buckets with hard water from my hose or would you recommend using distilled water every time you use a rinse less wash?

[@MikeGDetailing]

A great video Nick and Yvan. Many good points shared on the products abilities, the science and the technique. I have been using N914 since Nick brought it to the market many years ago.

[@McKees37]

Thanks Mike!

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

Thanks

[@normpeterson1111]

Loved your video, rarely have I used rinseless wash in the past. After watching this video, I will be using it with all the vehicles I detail in the future. One question though, why didn't you show in your video the final outcome on all that heavy road grime you showed in the beginning?

[@McKees37]

Our camera man was slacking. - Nick

[@meatballsub1]

So will N914 remove traffic film? Yvan said it removes the "oil" but I'm not sure if he was referring to traffic film or not.

[@tsyriac]

In an older video with the rag company you applied to APC first, here you sprayed the rinseless then the APC. When there’s a lot of bugs on my front end which is the better way?

[@matsudakodo]

It seems the main benefit to me would be to eliminate water spots during the drying stage since I wouldn't be working with tap water. However I previously solved that by keeping a few gallons of distilled water handy to sheet rinse the car. So I'm not sure this is better than foam-rinse-foam for me. I'm still thinking about it. It does however give me a way to clean my car in the garage during the winter. All is not perfect, though-I would have to come up with a way to keep the garage floor clean. Any tips?

[@McKees37]

Squeegee. - Nick

[@matsudakodo]

@@McKees37 yeah, my floor is the typical concrete, so it's absorptive and doesn't squeegee well. I found some people putting down a big tarp, which might work.

For the 32 oz N-914 is there a seal on top of the bottle? I just wanna make sure the products I buy from a car care retailer are not being tempered with.

[@cdong99]

@@McKees37 Thanks for such a fast response, Nick!

[@joehoffrage]

Yvan, why didn’t you rinse the front area after brushing with more of the rinseless solution before going at it with the sponge? You said if you had a hose you would have rinsed with water, but I would have used the rinseless as the “rinse”….thoughts?

[@dtna]

What's the difference between McKee's N-914 and Optimum No Rinse (ONR)? Is McKee's N-914 ONR rebranded?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

2 very different products that in the end do the same job. McKee’s N914 is definitely not ONR rebranded.

[@gerardofierro379]

Does this sponge work well with the DIY Detail Rinseless ?

[@McKees37]

Yes it does.

[@K03sport]

Most difficult thing for me is having a ready supply of distilled water on hand. Stuff is always sold out in my area, especially in the winter

[@McKees37]

The goal of washing the car was to indeed make it more clean. - Nick

[@mattcully8405]

Was not aware it could be used for paint prep prior to coatings. Is this also true of ONR because I recall him saying polymers were left behind so the next wash would be easier and quicker with ONR.

[@mariosantiago8931]

No , only N914 8 water 1

[@luckypaco1148]

I thought using a drying aide with graphene, SiO2, etc. will turn the drying towel hydrophobic and eventually will lose it's water absorption properties. Is there a drying aide which just leaves behind slickness & gloss no protection? (my car already has protection)

[@sk8ordie4691]

You can do another spray of rinseless or a detail spray and it’ll leave a very light layer of protection but not enough to mess up your towels, but if you use the rag company’s towel detergent rags to riches it’s designed to prevent your towels fibers from getting clogged with protection

[@misssummersalt]

Might I suggest Formula 4 Spray Wax? It's a great instant drying aid that doesn't leave things behind AND it prevents water spotting at the same time!

Those are not bugs, it’s tar and oil from being pulled 3 feet behind a bus for 5,000 miles. You can see our travels here. kzbin.info

[@McKees37]

To add what Yvan said....using a stronger cleaner, such as the APC, is less evasive to the paint than scrubbing with a sponge using N-914 alone. Let the chemical do the majority of the work for you. - Nick

@@McKees37 an APC is great on a neglected car but does Mckee's have a product somewhat close to Bilt-Hamber Touchless or Auto-foam 🤔

[@je-detailing]

Yvan, I’ve watched multiple videos in the past and present with your washing method. My question is regarding chemical decontamination using a rinseless wash. In my understanding, and correct me if I’m wrong, when you apply a chemical decon product, do you simply just rewash the panel with your sponge or microfiber media since the chemical is ph neutral. Or would you recommend flushing the product off the panel with a pump sprayer to avoid getting the chemical on your sponge/media to prevent dipping it back into the rinseless bucket?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

You want to rinse.

[@misssummersalt]

@@Detailers-Business-Academy I had this question too, thanks Yvan. Would you say that it's necessary to actually wash the decontaminated panel again, or would rinsing with water be sufficient?

[@Detailers-Business-Academy]

@@misssummersalt rinsing is sufficient .

[@Breese147]

I live in Germany right now unfortunately and it’s illegal here to wash your vehicle in the driveway. So stupid smh. But when I’m on base I’m fine haha. Great video nick

[@chromo48]

That runoff is terrible for waterways, causing harm to wildlife, especially when phosphates are involved. It can be a pain to deal with, but it's generally a worthwhile step toward a cleaner ecosystem. Just need to find ways of using less water, like this rinseless method.

[@Breese147]

@@chromo48 hmm weird when I used to wash before I got a car port all the water that drained near the grass made the grass greener and thicker over time. Supposedly the nitrogen in soaps helps promote growth for the grass. I definitely don’t think most wheel cleaners or cheap APCs are great for environment but I ceramic coated mine so wheel cleaners are a thing of the past.

[@chromo48]

@@Breese147 I know farmers will often use nitrogen fertilizers on crops to promote growth, so plants thrive on the process. The problem is when the nitrates run off into the water supply, potentially contaminating drinking water or making life difficult for fish. I've seen a lot of municipalities promoting the washing of cars on grass, rather than on pavement, to prevent runoff into storm drains.

[@misssummersalt]

No it's not an Optimum copy cat. What makes N914 truly unique is that it leaves nothing behind, unlike ONR. N914 is great to use prior to polishing or to remove polish residue, leaving a bare surface. ONR does not leave a bare surface, so you literally need an EXTRA product like a panel wipe or prep spray before applying any coating. Does that make sense to you now?
