    What would you use in this situation need a little help?

    Last week I did a 4 step polish and finished with a coat of Fuzion. It has rained past 2 days on and off and pollen has slightly collected and light rain spots. Here are the products I have what would you use to clean it up a bit without a full wash. I believe one of these products should work. I just dont want to remove the wax.


    California Duster
    DP Waterless Auto Wash
    ONR
    Meguiars Final Touch

    I would first take the California Duster and light it on fire and throw it in a pit so you aren't killed by the fumes. (can you tell I'm a little bent over my experience with that particular tool?)

    Anything else on that list would be fine to remove the dust. Meguiars Final Touch should be fine though. Unless you have water spots from rain or some other substance on the car more sticky than dust, you don't need anything stronger than a quick detailer to remove it. If the CCD is even a consideration to remove the dust, then any QD will do the trick. Since you mention rain, you wouldn't get any use out of the CCD anyway.

    ONR never used the DP but that would be the only other choice. Due to the rain part of this situation, I would not just go with a QD.

    I kinda threw the CCD just to see. Have one never used it, if there was light dust Final Touched it. Just wanted to see you opinions.

    Thanks Guys

    Tried both last touch and waterless for a side by side comparison. Definately go with DP Waterless. Seemed to work better on the more grimy parts of vehicle then the last touch did. Last touch required a little more spray to keep it lubed.

    Conclusion- DP Waterless worked well and removed the rain spots, pollen and dirt. While Last Touch does leave a nice shine, it did not hold up to the grudge and dirt it was faced with. It also required more spray. But I do love last touch on a clean finish, or to use to touch up before customer arrives.
