Default Re: Car wash wipes?

lochmoy,

I too use the Meguiar's Quick Detailing spray for minor touch ups. It works very nicely for removing fingerprints, waterspots, etc. I can not, however, recommend it for removal of dirt or as a substitute for washing. As Thirteendog stated, you will be dragging small abrasive particles from the dirt and road debris over the clearcoat resulting in very fine scratches. This leads to a dull finish which will then have to be polished.

Recently, I have gone to a 50/50 mix of the detail spray and water to remove the remains of love bugs from the front of my car (something that must be done on a daily basis here in central Florida). This has been working very well and has prevented any pitting of the clearcoat.

Kevin
