A little nervous about QEW'ing my black car

I couldn't take it anymore. After reading all the raves here on the forum about QEW, I had to order some. Got two bottles for $10 bucks...what a deal. Besides, there have been countless times I have wanted to gloss up my car late at night, when busting the hose out was out the question, and there was too much dust present to QD without reservation.



I guess I just need some reassuring pats on the back that I will be okay QEW'ing my precious, swirl-free black paint. :nixweiss
 
Well then I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's okay for my G35 :D Seriously, that does say a lot of for the product. I can't wait to try it.
 
Well, my car is Japanese....not sure where their clearcoat falls, but I'm goin' for it anyways. If all else fails, I can bust out the 1ZPP and start over. No biggie.
 
now thats the spirit :D, I use QEW 99% of the time to wash my black car and I've only seen a few marks...but that was from my technique not the QEW. Have fun.
 
I done my black car a few times now, and if your anything like me, I doubt you'll go back to a conventional wash.....
 
I have completely quit "hose-washing" after using QEW.



The only exception is if the car is loaded with mud, salt, etc.....(it hurts me to say that!). I actually used QEW in the middle of winter in my garage for a "salt-caked" black car, and I had to wash it twice. But still worked great. No streaks, no scratches.



If your car is really caked with dirt, make sure your MF wash towel is saturated with water/QEW.



But for a "moderately dirty" car that's been driven a few times in the rain or has road grime, QEW's the best.
 
Since I aquired QEW I have been using it on my 03 Jet Black M3. Since it reduces the time so much, I have no difficulty doing a biweekly wash. I love the product.

Regardless of this being beside the point, I'm not sure you're right. Sure, Mercedes is a little soft, or so I've heard, but Audi has some rigid paint. In fact, when I plan on repainting (2010?) I'll probably find out the OEM paint on some Audi for getting my Mazda repainted.

Yes, black Audi clear can be quite difficult to polish :(
 
Brian...



Both PB S&W or ClearKote QuikShine QD are not formulated to work like QEW.

"Use ½ ounce (1 capful) of Quick & Easy Wash in a bucket with two quarts water for an average size car. Use one ounce per gallon for larger vehicles. Quick & Easy Wash safely loosens and lifts dirt eliminating the need to rinse with water. Wash a section at a time then just chamois, towel or squeegee dry."





With Aloha,

Ranney :)

The new Mercedes with the PPG CeramiClear clearcoats have a pretty tough paint job!

I've got two Benz's with the new clear and they are indeed very tough. I noticed my Pewter SL has an extremely tough clear...The Black E I still take very careful measures when washing or QD'ing.



Still...I wouldn't let my guard down... I've seen swirls on some other E's and S's with the new clears just after dealer prep. :shocked



But hey...QEW on the Phantom...You've gotta be doing something right!
 
Ranney,



Have you ever tried QEW? If so, how did you like it? If not,

are you interested in trying it? There is a camping world where my mom lives. I could get a gallon sent out for us.
