Compounding on Bruce's comments, I've found that a QD right after a wash helps add to the glow that you get from the paint. Since I own a white car, I'm sure that it is not as noticeable as if you had a darker vehicle.
In regards to AutoBob's comments about scratching, that is what the Miracle Towel is all about. The plushness of the towel removes any of the <strong class='bbc'>minor[/b] (and that's the whole point-if it's that dirty...wash it!!) dust, etc. And the QD spray leaves behind a nice clean car.
Due care needs to be taken about how much dust (and what type (large particles versus small)) is on the towel and using a second (or third or forth, even) towel when the first is too dirty. Proper technique is key, here.
Spritz the panel, spritz the cloth. Wipe in one direction only with the wet side and then in the same direction with the dry side. If you haven't put on too much spray, then you should have a clean stripe without any residue!! Now repeat.

<strong class='bbc'>When I first started detailing and found this forum I had never even heard of quick detailing. Sure enough, when you look at the car care sections in many super markets, drug stores, hardware stores, etc. there often isn't a single QD displayed. So I figured I'd never get THAT involved in detailing, and pretty much ignored it while trying to learn the basics. But now I can't do without it.<em class='bbc'>Originally posted by AutoBob [/i]
<strong class='bbc'>I'll use a QD, but only after a wash and dry (which usually eliminates the need for it[/b]
Then I wondered if people used it after washing. Sounded pretty anal to me, but when I asked it turned out that many (most?) here use QD right after washing. So I tried it and found that it makes a significant difference in both looks and feel. It also takes care of those spots you missed while washing (and drying). [/b]
