I vote against Quick Detailing
I noticed that quick detailing with a MF towel to a shine takes off more wax than a Griot's wash soap and lambswool job does. I also noticed that QD doesnt work that great and can cause scratching as nothing is better than long island water and car soap for safety.
I was all into the qd at first. Now, I hardly use it. I want to as it gives a beautiful shine, but the carnauba wax just gets thinner faster using it than washing. Octaneguy's video on washing is so gentle that I really dont think it takes off all that much wax. I could be wrong but I dont think so. It is at least equal and being equal, a wash is much more safe and healthy for a car (gets off salt, contaminants, all the dirt 100%, etc) than a qd job does. I guess if you use synthetic wax and you garage it in a really land locked crappy mineral depositing area of america, qd would be much nicer.
I noticed that my water here vs PA water is incredibly pure and soft. I always wondered why people dry so thoroughly. I copied the suggestions on here and now have a great blotting technique down for the thick MF towels I bought. No rubbing at all. But, If i leave some areas of water unfinished, I never get any spotting. At least in NY I get one blessing for keeping my car clean, apparently the water here has nothing in it besides chlorine and thats about it. SO, I do not need to qd after I wash. I am considering the spray wax that griot's sells but I wouldnt want to change the look of my carnauba paste. It is perfect for showing the rich green colour in even low light at night.
