How often can you use detailing spray?

[GG4411]

Hey guys,
I am still new to detailing so I wanted to ask you all a quick question. In between complete detailing sessions, if you see fingerprints or smudges on your car can you use detailing spray to quickly polish up the area? How often do you think you can use detailing spray on your caR? Thanks

I would think as often as you want to.

2-3 times a day, lol.


seriously, as long as it is good quality QD stuff then it wont hurt anything to do it daily/as much as you want.

As many times as you're SUPPOSED to brush your teeth

A few swipes with a good microfiber towel should remove the finger prints. You can use quick detailer as often as you want, especially after a wash.

lol, do it while brushing your teeth.

If used too many times in a day, you'll start noticing an oily film on the paint surface.

Once or twice a day is fine - every time you stop at a red light is probably too much.

I'm just wondering where you get the finger prints and smudges from? When you close the door or trunk?

It's apparent you do NOT have kids....

Thanks for all of the responses. Will it scratch or swirl my paint if I use the QD with a microfiber after driving for an entire day? I only ask this because after driving for the whole day I can see a thin layer of dust/dirt on the paint.

You have that correct, haha. If I did, I would be paranoid about keeping the car clean. My sister has little kids. The inside is a mess that is 'fun' to clean up, but I guess they don't rub or touch the car besides opening the door handle.

I would use a waterless wash like Poorboy's Spray and Wipe for cleaning for better results and less chance of causing swirls. Then you could use a quick detailer afterwards if you prefer. I only use quick detailers after washing the car.

I use a detail spray or qd'er+ product after each wash, so thats weekly.

Buy yourself a NEW California Car Duster. Use no pressure and dust the surface with just the tips of the duster to knock the large dust particles off. Then, use your quick detailer with microfiber. I tried to use just quick detailer with towel for a few months and I produced some swirls. If you are not going to use the duster first, definitely should use more of a waterless wash product like Adam's Polishes or Poorboys sells.

Personally, I'm sold that the california car duster is the way to go. To use someone else's words... If it's good enough for 300k show ferarris, it's good enough for my 40k Camaro.

The key is knowing when to use a Qd or when to use a duster or when to wash. Knowing this and with good techniques equals no swrils.

lol, do it while brushing your teeth.
