how to use meguiars quick detailer? i just bought meguiar quick detailer. do you guys think that its good for our cars? my question is how do we use this thing on our cars? i know its for in between wax and wash but when we do use it should we spray and wipe the entire car? thats what i did today right after a wash... i decided to wax once a month and wash weekly and use detailer in between. what do u guys think? thanks!
yea just mist one section at a time, wipe it with a towel, and flip the towel around wipe it all off. so it on all painted surfaces, and make sure you use a towl hat wont scratch the clearcoat, microfiber towels are best.

oh and when i do get bird poop or grime or whatever i'm gonna spray the area with quick detailer and a terry cloth. i usually use a micro fiber but the terry cloths are cheaper so i dont mind if it gets f*cked with bird poo...
polish goes on first....wax goes on top to seal it up. you can put on wax without polish underneath, but dont put down polish w/o sealing it with wax, or it will wash right away.

even though the cost more .. it will cost you in the long run to not use them .. more scratches and swirls ..
polish - does just that
wax - protects, usually carnauba based, by can be synthetic. some examples, Megiuars #26, Mothers pure carnauba, Most cleaner waxes
sealant - protects - synthetic . some examples: Zaino, Wolfgang, Tropi-care
A quick detailer spray is fine to use for dust removal, or removing bird droppings, but if your paint is dirty .. wash it ..

Be careful! Quality varies greatly and cheap microfiber may cause you lots of trouble (just like cheap cotton/terry). The cheap towels are great for dirty jobs like engine bays and also for interior work. High quality towels are all that touch my paint...there are many reputable online dealers.
