About two weeks ago I put 2 coats of Zaino on. Since then I have QD onced. The car had some slight dust build up and it has rained today. Can I just wipe the car down or should I wait and wash after rain stops? FYI the car is a Black 03 Nissan Murano. Great forum and thanks.
 
I'm with EBP.................. why not just wash it? I've found that by cutting back on my QDing, I've cut down on my swirls, and surface coat marring. However, I do plan on trying some of Poorboys Spray & Wipe as a replacement for normal QDing.
 
Wait and wash it right. I never use a quick detail product without first washing and drying my black Hemi. The QD is just the "frosting on the cake".

I got a little too enthusiastic with the QD and ended up having to wash anyway to clear the haziness. Even spritzing with water wouldn't clear it up. So my little "time saving" turned into more work than I planned!:eek: Oh well, lessons learned the hard way are not forgotten!. :D

How many times have you driven the car in the past two weeks?

Last week I wiped down the car after the rain, but the car had been parked in a garage and not driven for a week and had been dusted everyday. The car was just driven out of the garage and parked in the driveway for about an hour. I used QD as I was drying the car, and had no negative results or marring doing this. If the car had been driven anyplace, I would have waited and washed the car.

Spray & Wipe?

Wouldn't this be a good place for Spray & Wipe?

Loaded question. It would be a good place for Spray & Wipe. I did just that today. Bucket washed the van, hit the street and the scattered showers caught me. It was still raining when I got home so I used Spray & Wipe after I drove in the garage. Cleaned up great. Tomorrow AM, I'll do a quick Platinum Gloss Enhancer wipe down and I'll be ready for the next scattered shower.

Are you talking about Poorboy's? I've been thinking about giving it a try. Thanks for the tip.

Yes. While I am still old school in preferring to bucket wash when possible, there are many instances where the Spray & Wipe really fills a need. I don't think you will be disappointed.:)
 
Thanks for all the feedback. Based on it and the condition of the car I decided it was too dirty to just "spray & wipe" or QD. I went with the full wash and dry then Zaino gloss enhancer and another coat of Zaino polish. Super Black looks awesome again! Later.
