Sorry for the newbie question...I continue to learn MUCH here and am very happy with the results I've acheived so far. Thanks to all the old veterans who post answers!



I have a 2002 black (sigh) Porsche. I love the way it looks with P21S wax, and don't mind applying that every 4-6 weeks or so...very easy. However...I'd like to minimize the # of washes I do because of the inevitable swirl marks. I've found that I can reasonably go 2 weeks by using the California duster daily...unless it rains!



Today, it rained (just washed it two days ago)....The car has water spots (dirty ones) all over it. Is this something I can use a QD and a microfiber towel on...or am I just asking for swril marks??



TIA
 
Hello claytons,



My policy is when in doubt, it's time for a wash. That is what I would do. Especially since you have a black car. No sense to take a chance.



With Aloha,

I have an identical policy and actually only use QD for bird droppings or after a wash or CCD. Once it rains, my car stays that way until I wash it.



If there's only very clean water spots on the car I guess it'd be fine, but if it makes you even a little hesitant I'd go for peace of mind and just wait for a wash.
 
David had an article concernig QD. It said to do something like this: use a 3 gallon bucket of water and a mf to wash first/wipe first and then use QD. I was searching for the article but could not find it. It use to be in the article and tips section. Maybe someone else can find the tip.
