Inbetween waxes and washes...advice please

[novs25]

Hello all,

I have souveran as my wax and WG paint sealant and some other products from WG. Just finished a bottle of the WG detail spritz and was wondering if I should order some more or a different product. I got a black 07 alitma which i finished a xmt #2 and finishing glaze with 2 coats of souveran on top so its looking great. I am nuts when it come to my car so I like to use a california duster every now and then and a QD after. I wash it every week. I am asking for your guys expertise on another QD or a spray paint sealant of spray wax for that in between time so its looking nice. What should I do ladies and gentleman. Sorry if this is a repeat topic couldnt find my answers searching.

I was completely under-welmed by the WG QD (the old quick detail spritz, I haven't tried the new spray sealant)... The perfect compliment to Souveran Paste is Crystal Mist for a true QDer, or Souveran Spray Wax as a booster after washes.

DP final gloss is also a nice QD wax booster for less money.

The new Optimum QD is one of the best out there right now, give that a try and you will be very happy.

While the Optimum Qd'er is a new favorite, I still feel carnuabas specifically look best when kept up with Souveran Spray Wax.

if you are talking about in btwn washes, i wouldn't touch it. A waterless wash for dust is OK but I would wait until the next wash which is pretty frequent it seems.

I usually try to wash it every week but i like to keep the dust off it since its black. I dont want to wax it every time, so am i using a QD in the wrong way? Should I wash it then use a quick wax mentioned above then the QD until I wash it again? little confused I guess. Thanks for all the responses. You guys are the best

for a black car i would be careful with the duster, barely touching the paint. i would use a waterless wash like pbsw with very plush mf towels. then it is safe to use a QD or spray wax. keep an eye out for any marring of the paint.
i play it safe and just wait for full wash. i like to keep the machine polishing down to once a year or more.

I am glad pt91 chimed in on this, I was offering Souveran Spray Wax after each wash to amp up the finish. In no way on black, would I use anything between washes for cleanup except the occassional birdie doo-doo mark. I oversaturate those, and blot as possible.

I have an 05 black Altima. I've given up trying to maintain in between washes. Its just to frustrating.
Does your car get parked in a garage or is it exposed to the outside environment daily?
The only product I would really feel comfortable using in between washes is S&W. I would then follow up with something like Souveran spray.

I luckily have a garage spot. Can you clarify s&w? What does marring look like? dull paint? Really i should stop caring in between washes and just do it if some crap gets on my car?
