You are right IMO! I foolllow up WW with a Spray wax, usuallyy Pinnacle. Results in more gloss & better protection than a QD IMO!
Re: Difference Between Waterless Washing and Quick Detailing??
I've sorta replaced quick detailers with waterless car wash and quik waxes/sealant sprays. I bought the gallon jug of DP Waterless to use as a QD on steroids to remove dirt, dust and day to day grime that attacks the paint between washes. I also use it after polishing steps or if I'm going to apply an LSP and the surface has sat long enough to have picked up some dust or dirt. I feel more comfortable that a waterless wash is better protecting and lubcricating the surface during dirt removal. I do suspect that they're harder on an LSP than say QD sprays.
I'm using spray wax or spray sealer (depending upon the car's LSP) after conventional washes when I don't need to re-wax just yet but want to boost shine and protection. For example: on my Blackfire Wet Diamond sealed cars I follow with BF Sealant spray and on the waxed cars something along the lines of Ultimate Quik Wax or Pinnacle Souveran spray wax.

I use Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer and it works wonders, even the black plastic looks shiny as if a coat of wax was applied. Now if Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer works and smells that good, I must try ONR!!!
I don't want it to look wet, I want it to look Soaked!

Re: Difference Between Waterless Washing and Quick Detailing??
TWO!!! no seriously I love ONR during winter months and for quick cleanups. Winter time I will take my truck through the touchless to get the "heavy" grime off and then use ONR after. Big fan, when I take my Mustang to a show I clean it up there using ONR.
Note: There is no official recommendation from Meguiar's to use Last Touch as a Waterless Car Wash but this is a high lubricity spray detailer that can be diluted 1:1 for a clay lube. For the opposite reason you can dilute it for a clay lube, (that is when used straight it's too slippery for a clay lube), it can be used as a waterless car wash as this product is sold in Australia as a waterless wash.
Note: While spray detailers are first and foremost positioned as products for removing light dust, if used wet or heavy and with good technique, that can substitute for a high lubricity waterless wash. Use your own judgment.
Just curious, why didn't Optimum Opti-Clean make it on this list? It's also a waterless wash product with even more lubricity than ONR....

Wouldn't Poorboy's Spray and Wipe be considered a waterless wash?
Re: Difference Between Waterless Washing and Quick Detailing??
Jimmyjam, you gotta try ONR. Really. It will change your whole routine up.
I know there are some people out there who don't like it and that's your thing but I've washed a lot of nasty cars with it. If it's real bad just be sure to do a pre-soak with a garden sprayer or something.
