Hi AGO members,
I'm trying to dig up some basic opinions on this specific product based on actual user experience. I'm not interested in what someone has read about it or heard about it but rather what those who use it think about the product and whether it will fit the bill for my client's specific needs.
A little background about the car it will be used on and what the client would like to see from a QD.
The client is the owner of the 2003 10th anniversary Cobra Terminator that I showcased here last week. He is more of a lurker and doesn't wish to post to forums in general.
His paint is finished as flawlessly as I could make it in the 12 hours we had to do the work. I could have done a SF4500 jeweling session and achieved a slight increase in gloss had we had the time, but he regularly applies Poorboy's Black Hole and one of the Natty's Paste waxes to the car so it looks as glossy as it can be realistically speaking.
Hard water is his problem, so he doesn't ever wash the car with water. He never drives the car in the rain and the car stays under a cover when not being driven so it rarely has anything more than a very light dust on the car. he lightly dusts the car off with a California Duster then QDs the paint to remove the rest of the dust and light fingerprints that the California Duster doesn't pick up.
He's been through a lot of different QDs and finds that some don't really clean finger smudges well so there's a need to rub more against the paint. Then he's used QDs such as Poorboy's QD+ that contain a good amount of carnauba in them that require more wiping to clear up the wax residue. Price is not a concern here and he won't use his water to mix anything at all. I did however remind him that Walmart has distilled water for around 88 cents a gallon.
He is looking for a happy medium between the two that will easily wipe off removing the lightest of dust and light fingerprint smudges without leaving behind a heavy amount of protectant that needs to be buffed off. Pretty much a spray on and wipe once or twice and clear product is what he wants.
So what say you Migliore Endurance QD users? Is this the product for my client?
Thanks in advance for any replies and if you have suggestions for a better product to meet his requirements, please take the time to post the product name and why you think it would be best for his needs. TD
