Washing your car with nothing but a bucket sounds too good to be true — but that's exactly what a rinseless wash does. No hose, no runoff, no dragging equipment around: just a couple gallons of water, a microfiber, and a finish that's clean, slick, and swirl-free.
McKee's 37 makes five rinseless washes, and the only real question is how much protection and gloss you want to add while you clean. Here's how to pick your perfect match.
First — what is a rinseless wash?
A rinseless wash uses high-lubricity polymers that wrap around dirt and lift it off the paint so you can wipe it away safely, no rinsing required. It's ideal for apartments, covered parking, winter, or anyone who wants a quick, water-saving wash that's gentle on the finish. Every McKee's 37 rinseless formula is a hyper-concentrated, multi-use product — so one bottle also doubles as a waterless wash and detail spray.
Which Rinseless Wash Is Right for You?
Every McKee's 37 rinseless wash cleans with just a bucket — no hose required. The difference is how much protection & gloss you add while you wash.

F-914 Foaming Rinseless Wash — maximum cleaning power. Built for the dirtiest jobs, F-914 packs twice the surfactants of N-914 plus a foaming agent that clings to the surface and dissolves stubborn grit, bugs, and grime. Reach for it on neglected or heavily soiled vehicles. (From $24.99.)
N-914 Rinseless Wash & Wax — clean + easy shine. Everything you love about N-914, now with added wax that leaves behind protection and a warm shine in a single step. A great low-effort way to keep protection topped up between details. (From $29.99.)

Pro tips for a flawless rinseless wash
- Use a clean microfiber per panel and flip often.
- Keep the panel wet and use plenty of solution — lubrication is what prevents marring.
- Avoid direct sun so the solution doesn't flash-dry.
- Very dirty? Pre-rinse or reach for F-914 to do the heavy lifting.
