    Now that I have found a good paste wax, what kinda detailer

    Now that I have found a good paste wax. What do people recommend for a quick detailer ? its pollen season in Florida now and Id like to try and keep it clean between washes/waxes. what I used to use really works well but its really a waterless car wash, and says "Cleans polishes and protects" trying to get away from anything that "Cleans" figuring it will eat away at my wax what does'nt everybody recommend?

    I thought one of the main purposes
    of using a QD/WW was “to clean”?

    Editorial:
    •If a QD (and/or WW) would happen to
    eat-away at your good Paste Wax—at an
    unexpected/alarming rate...

    -I would think it’d probably be in your,
    as well as the vehicle’s, best interest to
    opt for a more durable Paste Wax/LSP.

    I use this: Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax, no rinse car wash, rinse free car wash, optimum no rinse

    1:16 ratio in a spray bottle and you are good to go.

    You can use this as a drying aid after washing, too.

    Meant to chime in on your other thread- I haven’t used the Griot’s Best of Show paste wax, but I have used their Premium Carnauba paste wax. Love that stuff - Suuper easy to apply and remove, great look, and impressively hydrophobic

    If you wanted to stay in the family, you could go with either the Griots Spray on Car Wash (their Waterless wash), their new Rinseless Wash and Wax, or their new Best of Show Detailer.

    If memory serves, the spray on car wash has a slight amount of wax in it to help maintain. The rinseless has wax + polymers. The Best of Show Detailer has a small amount of polymers.

    I’ve not used the new BOS Detailer, but have heard positive things about it. I have both the Spray on Wash and Rinseless. I like both of them. If I had to have one, it’d be the rinseless since so often (sadly) my cars go past a level I’m comfortable doing a Waterless wash. Both are really easy to work with.

    Route 246’s suggestion is a great option. Optimum’s spray wax (part of the ONR wash and wax) is great stuff.

    Previous threads have reports that Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish works well for this. You might try just wiping it over your wax.

    I missed that you already had a detailer to use. No experience with that one, but might as well use it up!
