If the car is CLEAN, you could spray on some Hydro, then dry. If the car has any dirt on it, rewash it. If it has light dust, a Quick detailer will work.

Having a good quality wax/sealant on the car is really the first step.

dry first then QD?

If the car is clean, you could dry it, then use a QD to remove any waterspots. They will come off easier if you have a good sealant on the paint.

You need to understand that I mean CLEAN, no dirt on the car, otherwise you should do your regular wash.

Not sure I trust would trust it. A good quick detailer and proper microfiber probably would work better. This way you can regulate the amount of liquid used (QD) to clean.

I would hope that any NAMer is smart enough to NOT use Armor All!! Mequire's Quick Detail will work loads better, did leave a bit of dust behind though. I also like Rain-X Faxt Wax, very easy on and off.

I've got a DP order in for Molly's detailing needs, she's going to be so happy.

Well as I am new to the MINI world and NAM I do not know enough to not use Armor All. I am very interested in what everyone has to offer about detailing and I am trying to learn.
