The Yvan Lacroix Wash Method Featuring McKee's 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash

[@j-sonS]

I just rinseless washed my car in a shopping center parking lot using this n914 and big red sponge while waiting for my son to finish karate practice. So easy and nice.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Yvan is a master of this type of wash method, he preaches do it the best way, quickly, and profitable. Thanks for giving great tips!

[@samsacre4304]

I get a kick out he says in his meetings it’s not rocket science been watching him for years quite entertaining! I don’t know if he’s a car guy or not?

[@robnelsonbayvillage]

Thanks, Ivan for mentioning Porsche 914! Another great McKees37 video. The lack of dirt and staining on wash media is amazing!

[@jayz313]

@Nick Rutter @Yvan Lacroix, being in Michigan and dealing with the winter crud, would it be prudent to whip up some waterless wash concentrate, and use that as a pre-treat to a rinseless wash with 914, since thecwaterless wash has more lubrication, to cut through a more stuborn layer of crud?

[@LacroixCruiser]

Jay Zstr yes, very prudent.

[@jeromeboily]

Is it just me or i have seen Yvan use these techniques with an other famous BLUE brand line of products!!!!

john keturoskey N-914 isn’t a clone, it works like Optimum No Rinse(ONR) in many ways, but actually works better if you use a fibre based wash media.

@yvanlacroix I’m new to the “DIY detailing” scene. could you run through the steps required before applying a ceramic coating? (Not sure if what I have listed below is correct) 1. Spray on rinseless wash and let it sit for a few minutes 2. Use sponge/microfiber mitt to wash/spread the rinseless wash + water solution 3. Use clay bar or clay bar towel (with solution still on car) to remove contaminants 4. Wipe dry with microfiber towel 5. Apply ceramic coating? Appreciate your help!

[@a111z]

After step 4 and before step 5, you should polish then wipe with a surface prep such as isopropyl alcohol

[@TheKeratosis]

doesn’t look and sound right without hearing key phrases like “the onr encapsulates and emulsifies” and “one spritz of opti seal is all you need” and “where you apply the optimum car wax is where you apply the clay disc”

[@LacroixCruiser]

TheKeratosis lol, it’s not the product names that are important, it’s the quality of the products combined with the technology behind them.

[@richardfox3924]

9:40-11:50 rinseless apply to surface then spray wax next clay mitt spread wax last drying towl.

[@JamesDBuzzard]

Yvan is the man!!

[@markl6122]

It's probably a good idea to measure the cap capacity before you use it to mix the correct dilution as I bought a bottle of N-914 Rinseless Wash and the cap is 1/4 ounce, not 1/2 ounce.

[@McKees37]

That is a great idea. With supply chain shortages, we've had to switch suppliers for our caps, so the measurements are not the same as they were a couple years ago when this video was filmed. - Nick

[@warrenalbert7922]

Taking the plunge, with this method.

[@stevenmorgan6164]

Great video Thank you very much I learned a lot

[@jonathanwilkin7896]

How are you washing the wheels? Especially if they are very dirty. And are you keeping wheel towels separate?

[@weaverdetails4747]

I have noticed that when I use distilled water with my rinseless solution that I get even better cleaning power. Is this correct or am I crazy for doing this?

[@bbdetailing9123]

Distilled water is good for this.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

You are not crazy, is real deal. Also reduce the streaking

[@themikeroberts]

I don't know how much it relates to rinseless solution but with laundry detergents and carpet cleaning chemicals, hard water can consumer much of the cleaning agents. One company tested several carpet cleaning chemicals and in most products, about 50% of the cleaning ingredients were consumed by the hard water and one product even had 80% consumed!

[@geestang2662]

Yeah, it's more pure clean no chemicals from faucet water

[@Jeeper1378]

Btw Apex detail did a test and that type media did poorly at releasing dirt. The cough ... BRS did the best.

[@LacroixCruiser]

Jeeper1378 agreed a dedicated rinseless wash sponge is still my favourite, and watch McKee’s 37 for a new sponge.

[@Youknowitbby]

So in theory if clay was needed once one is done “claying” would the 10 min sealant be applied after the process to dry the panel?

[@J1Z06]

This is probably going to be My method of washing in a few months when the hose goes away.

[@AK-ui1zl]

If Yvan learned Icon Rocklear he’d make even more money lol

[@chrisryan8894]

a few questions: so did you use this as a clay lube at 256:1 ? doesn't it recommend 128:1 for clay lube? and in order to clay, are you washing first, then re-applying to clay? or would you just apply the rinse less wash an clay immediately? wouldn't that cause tons of scratches? last question, what is the purpose of the fast wax with the clay bar? is it simply to have a wax on it, if I was going to move on to polishing after claying would the fast wax be necessary?

[@geestang2662]

Yvan is not with optimum ONR company?

[@carlosflores9860]

Help: I have a question, so when do I apply the paint sealent ? is it before applying fast wax? or after... and what actually the Paint Sealent does to the paint? is it really necessary? Or just applying N914 and fast wax is enough?

[@sparkyUK]

Can you get this in the UK? Amazon used to stock it but no longer. Can't seen to find anything on it.

[@jayz313]

@Nick Rutter @Yvan Lacroix, at arounnd 13:40, you explain after 914, after Fast Wax (I assume clay mitt as well) you can add in 10 Minute paint sealant. So does this all happen without any in between drying steps, therefore a one and only final drying step, with 10 Minute Paint Sealant being your drying aid? Thank you in advance for your clarification.

[@LacroixCruiser]

Jay Zstr yes, sorry for the late reply, no notifications. Yes you can add the sealant as an addition to the wax. Fast Wax with N914 acts as your clay lube. Adding the 10 minute sealant will aid in drying and extend the durability of the protection.

[@jayz313]

@@LacroixCruiser Thank you Yvan. I understand about the notifications, IMO KZbin has a major glitch with them, I seem to miss quite a few.

[@molo8746]

Can I use this as a drying aid?

[@jeepinspence]

Ok so...my last two cars were filthy they've likely not been hand washed in a few years. It took two full hand washes and a detail brush with all purpose to get the mold, debris out of every nook and cranny. Every time I'd hit it with the hose more debris would come out of the emblems, the trim, the drip rails etc... Is there and easier way to attack cars like this than the old fashioned hand wash way? It took me hours and the customer only wants to pay going rates. :(

When I do a RW on a dirty car I do drench the panel because its safer, plus you've got so much in the bucket anyways so why not use it🤔👈💡

[@Ruhdiculus]

They say to pretreat the panel with the rinseless/waterless wash in a sprayer then pressure wash, then wash with rinseless. Take your time with the pressure washer and let the waterless/rinseless pre spray do its work with encapsulating the dirt.

So carbon copy of optimum got it🤙🏽

[@gregsullivan7408]

I get the impression it's a bit different to ONR - it leaves less/no residue, and can also be used as a paint prep - ONR is not recommended as a prep.

[@ChrisBranleh]

Nobody else finds it odd that he is using the same sales pitch as ONR for McKee’s? No doubt both products are good. But this is not convincing

[@stephen1503]

I figure it’s one of things that’s really hard to make original without altering the goal of the product. The only real differences I see, besides the smell, are that mckees leaves nothing behind at all (no “polymer Protection”) and they actually advertise its multiple uses versus optimum sells you a separate clay lube lol

[@kbstoy1913]

A little different then earlier video .

[@derek723]

Everyone, please watch the Grit Guard review done on the Source Garage's channel. It does absolutely nothing to keep dirt at the bottom of the bucket. Per his rather in depth review, the Dirt Lock was far superior

[@stephen1503]

I’ve seen that video, but I’m pretty sure that mostly applies to soap or two bucket washing. Seems in the video the grit guard here is just to keep the water from swirling around when he dunked in his mitt for cleaning. Like he said the water softener will pull the smaller pieces of dirt to the bottom so it’s really not that big of an issue. If someone is worried, multiple wash media is your “safest” bet.

[@nicholas440]

If your not using the 2 bucket method wish a good mit your scratching your car. Definitely micro swirls. Don't be lazy

[@stephen1503]

That’s literally the point of waterless washes though is that you don’t need two buckets. It’s not lazy it’s innovative lmao
