what really is the difference? they both are a spray on wipe off ,and are both for dusty dirty cars that are not dirty enough for a wash correct?
 
S&W - Waterless wash. Safe to use on slightly dirty vehicles. Doesn't leave anything behind.

S&G - Quick Detailer. Needs a semi-clean surface to begin with. Has "gloss enhancers" (I don't know the technical stuff) to add shine to the finish.
 
S & W has cleaning abilitys with plenty of depth and slickness,it can also be used as a lube when claying and is versatile. S & G is a great QD and can be used to spit shine with your sealer/wax or to add an exceptional gloss and depth with added slickness. Both are nice items to have around.

that's almost it...

Spray and Wipe can be used on dirty cars...anything short of mud is within it's reach ..some people will not go to that extent but it can do the job.

Spray & Gloss has limited cleaning ability and should not be used for anything more than light road grime , dust or water spots after rain or washing.
Spray & Gloss does exactly what the name says, adds gloss and some polymer protection..it makes the surface slick and leaves a coating behind.

Just to add to this I use S&W on my cars almost every day then finish up with the S&G for the just waxed look...takes me about 15 to 20 minutes per car....the cars always look great....I've also used the S&W on some pretty nasty looking cars and they have come out great....I spray it on well and let set for a minute or two so that loosens it up and then with a WW MF I can remove all the dirt making sure to turn the towel over to a clean side regularly

Spray & Wipe is probably my most used product as well and I definitely reccomend it.
The use of a waffle weave MF with S&W is interesting. I do think I have read about people using a WW with the S&W in a previous thread, but I have always used a couple of plush MF. I was concerned that the WW wouldn't have deep enough pile to keep the dirt picked up away from the paint.

Any benefits from using the WW rather than a plush MF?

The reason I use WW is those are the largest ones that I have and seem to pickup everything in there way...I've never really given much thought to it...on the QD spray that's always a plush towel
 
I really worry about doing SW, or SG on my black car but have been doing it anyway, but it does concern me.
 
I've learned to except the fact that I have a black car and you can see the slightest inperfection anywhere. I love the SW and always try to make myself aware that i'm not trying to apply any real pressure when removing the SW and i've used it when my car is pretty dirty.

While I don't have a black car, my El Camino is a dark red. I keep it in a garage with a Noah car cover on it (yea,yea, a garage queen)... anyway, after I get home from a drive, I don't want to put the car cover on a dirty car, so I use Spray & Wipe Waterless Wash to get rid of the light dust and road dirt/grime.
Now maybe it is just here in New England, but check out the picture of the towel after a using Spray & Wipe Waterless Wash right after a day out cruisin. It's not like I'm driving on dirt roads or anything like that, this is just some around town combined with some highway driving. Talk about air/road pollution!

I only use a freshly washed towel, so it was totally clean and white before the wipe down.

I'm a big fan of Spray & Wipe. This stuff is just great! I use it before any sort of Quick Detailer.

QD+ & S&G are different. S&G is a gloss enhancer QD so to speak. QD+ contains carnuaba. To me its like a wax booster.

My bad... I see it's called QW+ now... Quick Wax Plus!

Thanks anyways!
 
Questions on proper technique w/ S&G and S&W. Do you spritxz, wipe once in one direction and then turn towel or use a second towel to back to remove residue? Or just use in the same motions you use to wash the vehicle?
