    Is QD dead?

    With the new waterless washes from Optimum & Ultima, is QD on the way out. Plus the spray waxes are amazing. I find myself using Waterless for in between and Spray Waxes for a drying aid. Seems like my QD;s are collecting dust on the shelf. Anyone else seeing less use of QD;s>

    I'm getting ready to put everything except the OID up for sample/trade. So, yes, the QD is dying for me.

    Once I use up my current gallon of FK I will be using OOC in its place. I already have a bottle of OOC in the trunk instead of detail spray.

    There is a better way to do it than the way you're doing it.

    Re: Is QD dead?

    I hear you guys on the FK 425. I love it. The QD still has a place for me when it comes to a lubricant while drying with my WW or on a perfectly clean surface.

    I won't know the answer to the question posed by this thread until I run out of QD product.

    i'll use optimum detailer until he stops making it. i love what it does at 4:1. it's versatile for use with drying, doo removal, spot clean-up, clay lube, etc. it does something crazy as a drying aid...almost makes metallics glow in the sun. it does something with the light.

    maybe if i used ONR for washing i'd feel differently, since it'd be here, but i have no use for a no rinse.

    Try it you might like it, especially when the temp drops outside. A waterless wash (Ultima or Optimum) can be a blessing in the garage.
