    I know this is what a QD was supposedly for but why take about 15 steps back

    I think of a QD as more an indoor product for the lightest of dust, not crap accumulated driving to an event
    My thoughts as well

    To me....dusty and dirty are two different things. If it's dusty, Gyeon Ceramic Detailer....if it's dirty.....quality rinseless wash.....plus clean, plush microfibers in either case

    Also it was formulated to work outside in warm weather. Most shows gonna be outside and in warmer weather. Most detailer (Ech20 sycks if panels warm or warmer weather).

    Agree with others. My recommendation is for car that’s been washed last 2-4 days in summer and just dusty.

    Me personally though, I would rinseless. Get a 2 gallon bucket with a gamma seal lid. Make it before trip, bring 10 MF towels. If not to dirty/dusty no pretreat really needed.

    I’m guessing these are big Riggs? would be easier as your bot spraying the entire vehicle down with a trigger sprayer.

    Thats weird, because i had a similar thought earlier about a bucket with gamma seal and rinseless, small pump sprayer etc

    Yes to this being a semi. But also pertains in general to all

    Hey Opie

    I just saw Mike's response so maybe it actually was him that was talking about show car guys damaging their paint trying to clean it up, and to just leave it alone

    Re: Gimmie your two cents.

    Todd at Esoteric said the same in a video a couple years ago. Just leave it and wash it later. I think he said something to the effect of he would rather own a dusty/dirty car with paint in great shape than a really clean car with paint that has swirls and/or scratches.

    I was going to say him^
    I remember him saying that because of how much I disagreed with him. He said it in such a way that it was condescending. I didn’t like the way he said that.

    …And then he went on to make that video where he’s hand washing that blue Ford GT and that video is full of errors like who the hell makes that many mistakes washing a car. I was practically yelling at my screen like this guys supposed to be an expert? Give me a break…

    Don’t shoot the messenger

    Gimmie your two cents.

    I think what you meant to say is people like us COULDN’T leave it alone

    Gimmie your two cents.

    But hopefully we would find the gentlest possible way to deal with it
