quick detailer is watered down final inspection. You want #34 final inspection or, more prefereably for me Poorboy's World QD+. The stuff leaves your finish so slick and shiny it's unbelievable.

DETAILING TIP OF THE WEEK #3 - Always use lubricant or Smartdetail spray to clay, because soap will break down or deteroate the clay. When using lubricant or Smartdetail it will prolong clay life by conditioning the clay. www.smartwax.com

TIP OF THE WEEK:
NEVER USE ABRASIVE POLISH TO DETAIL CHROME WHEEL, IT WILL DULL OUT THE CHROME OR REMOVE CHROME FINISH.

[RevoluScion]

next tip is a maybe a lil of a common sense but not to many...

NEVER DRY ON HIGH HEAT YOUR MF TOWELS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL RUIN THE FIBER CAUSING IT TO CREATE SWIRLS ON YOUR PAINT, YOU WANT TO SET YOUR DRYER TO DELICATE OR JUST AIR DRY.

[RevoluScion]

IS ABOUT THAT TIME AGAIN.....

TIP OF THE WEEK: Maintianing your wheels finish while mazimizing shine is easy. Start by cleaning wheels first. Applying a quick coat of Smartwax RIMWAX bi-weekly will help reduce brake dust by 50% while enhancing and maintianing your rim and wheel finishes for years to come.
