Lets say you have cleaned up your car and have it all detailed.
Now you have to get to a car show or cruise night.
My question is what products or method do you use to clean it up. I never like wiping it down when its all dusty from the drive.
Ive heard of waterless wash products.Is this what you guys do.?:D

Yep. I use Poorboysworld Spray and Wipe or griots waterless wash. Poorboysworld you can use in the sun.

Basically there isn't a million way to go about it I use QD
It never failed me. It really depends on the amount of dust on the car from house to show I really doubt you can accumulate enough dust to use a waterless wash
There are exception of course but overall quick Detailer should be your go to product

The problem i get is that I apply quite a bit of spray detailer so that I can keep swirls down, but then I get smear marks and the detail spray doesnt seem to work well on Kona Blue..It shows streaks..

Ultima waterless wash!!!! Use it with distilled water. It shouldn't streak.

+1 with PoorboysWorld products. You gotta love the fact you can use it in the sun.

Poorboys or not, doesn't matter what products you have when it's a hot summer day and you are working with a dark colored car...

Ultima or ONR and some shade will go a long way for you OP

Black Car, the original post asked what product we used, we've suggested what we used.

Since Black Car we don't know what he was using (it was not posted), heck maybe it was even ONR or Ultima or even Poorboy's. Most of the time if your getting streaking your either using to much product or need to flip the microfiber to a clean side.

Unrealford, what have you been using to clean the surface?

Edit: Now I see he wasn't using ONR.
