Fast, Safe Washing Without a Hose

Rinseless washing saves time, water, and effort while delivering a clean, glossy finish when done correctly.

5 Minute Rinseless Wash How-To Guide | McKee’s 37 N-914 Rinseless Wash

Rinseless washing is one of the most efficient ways to clean a vehicle when time, space, or water access is limited. Using advanced polymers, a rinseless wash encapsulates dirt and allows it to be safely removed without a traditional hose rinse.

In this McKee’s 37 video, Nick Rutter demonstrates how to wash a vehicle in about five minutes using N-914 Rinseless Wash while minimizing the risk of scratches and swirl marks.

Why Rinseless Washing Works

N-914 Rinseless Wash uses high-lubricity polymers that surround dirt particles and lift them away from the paint. This allows contaminants to be wiped off safely without grinding them into the surface.

Step 1: Mix the Correct Dilution

Fill a bucket with clean water and add the recommended amount of N-914 Rinseless Wash. Proper dilution ensures maximum lubrication and cleaning power.

Step 2: Use the Right Wash Media

Use a high-quality microfiber wash mitt or towel. Soak it fully in the solution so it’s loaded with lubrication before touching the paint.

Step 3: Wash One Panel at a Time

Lightly glide the wash media across the surface using straight-line motions. Avoid excessive pressure and rinse the mitt or towel frequently in the bucket.

Step 4: Dry Immediately

After washing each panel, dry it with a clean microfiber drying towel. This prevents water spots and leaves the surface clean and streak-free.

When Rinseless Washing Is Ideal

Rinseless washing is perfect for lightly to moderately dirty vehicles, maintenance washes, winter washing, and situations where water restrictions are in place.
