Recomendations ?

[craig]

Hi guys. Apologies for not being online for a while, but i have been crazy busy with work & am trying to fix up my old house :smt119 Anyhoo, im looking for a recommendation for a quick detailer. I've done a couple of shows already this year, but im having to wash the car when i get there because of all the dust i have picked up along the way, so im guessing a quick detailer might save me a lot of time & effort. Im torn between spray & gloss & QD+ but not really sure which one to go for. Basically what im looking for is something i can spray on & buff, without it effecting the 2 coats of Nattys red i applied the day before & obviously want it to shine just as well as it did when waxed. What would you guys use ?
Thanks in advance... Craig
(P.S. i promise i will be online a lot more soon )

QD+ would work better for removing dust than S&G. I believe that S&G has the least cleaning abilities out of the trio: S&W, QD+, and S&G.

I would go with Spray and Wipe .. under the dirt and dust is a well prepped vehicle ... after the Spray and Wipe, you can use either the Spray & Gloss or QD+

Thanks for the advice guys Well i couldnt decide on which one to buy, so i've ordered spray & wipe and QD+ :smt004 My next show is on May 13th so will let you know how i get on with both products. the weather here in the UK is slowly improving so i might try them out before then (providing it ever stops raining) !!! Thanks again... Craig

Quick update... My S&W & QD+ arrived yesterday and im ordering a S&G today :smt048 I was just wondering what you guys would use after the S&W ? I will be giving the S&W a try this morning as i washed my car yesterday so it only has a light layer of dust on it. I will then give it a misting with the QD+ and buff it up :smt109 Would you say S&G would give a more reflective finish than QD+ or are they similar in the end finish ?
Thanks guys... Craig

I prefer the S&G and S&W. Lately I've been leaving the QD+ for the glossy interior plastics and instrument cluster. Works great!

I'd go with the Spray and Gloss. If you're not pressed for time try 3 applications.

Thanks for the advice guys. Well i must say im impressed with all 3 products i have brought If im being honest though i think i prefer the finish of QD+ !!! Spray & gloss gives truly awsome reflection properties, but it think QD looks deeper. For a comparison i used S&G on one side of the car & QD+on the other. In normal daylight conditions the S&G side gave slightly better reflections, but as the sun was going down the depth of colour from the QD+ side was soooo niceeeee lol. It complemented the 2 coats of nattys red perfectly. So for shows this is what im going to take with me & keep the S&G for local meets. Thanks again guys & thanks to Poorboys for some great products :smt003
