I have loads of Turtle Wax stuff at the minute, but slowly moving over to Muc-Off as I have found their products to be even better.

Does anyone use a Quick Detailer?? Are they any good? Do you still wax your car then use Quick Detailer too?? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

I have a couple of quick detailers on the go at the minute - I think they are perfect if you need a quick wipe over when the car isn't too dirty - I have one from Meguiars and another one from an LR show whose name I can't remember of the top of my head!

If I'm going to the trouble of waxing & sealing then I still wash it properly before hand, but for a quick wash when time is short I think these detailer sprays work miracles. Showroom shine is on my radar for my next purchase as I've always seen they get good reviews, however I think it will be hard pressed to beat the one I bought from the LR show - it has carnauba wax in it and leaves the car looking nice and shiny  The BEST looking half of the famous Twinlanders

Yep quick detailers are awesome after a normal wash. The meguiars one I use lays down some short term protection on top of my wax and sealant. They remove stubborn water marks and leave a seamless finish.

There's a Sonax one that puts down some serious protection, so ideal between winter washes.

Always best to wash the car properly (two bucket method, wash mitt) to avoid rubbing grit around the car before you apply a quick detailer, or be confident it's clean enough to do so. Mine gets a serious clean 2/3 times a year to remove old wax, tar and other nasties, then gets re-waxes and sealed.

Normal washes about once a week, snow foam, decent shampoo etc. It's all personal preference but I've now got a shed full of goodies for cleaning it! 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

I might treat myself to some, I work not far from a company called CleanYourCar so I can pick some up after work. There are a few on the market that look good. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Ive got a bit of cash left over from Christmas. I called into Cleanyourcar over Christmas for some Valet Pro Citrus Pre Wash, it was out of stock but bought myself some dash cleaner and an tyre gel applicator sponge! Looking in their warehouse it could be so easy to get carried away!! Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Well, had to make a trip to Oldham while at work so on the way back I called off at Cleanyourcar. I though I cant spare much time as I need to get back to the office! I picked up some Citrus pre-wash and some Quick Detailer. Hopefully i'll get chance to try it out tomorrow. I took Jimski's advice and only took cash! lol. I might take some before and after photo's of the pre-wash and QD. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

I tried the Valet Pro Citrus pre wash today. Its the first time I have used it but I was impressed with it. I put too much on with my pump sprayer but it was my first go at it. I've made a bad video of it and put it on Youtube. The video was my first attempt also! Not very good but shows the pre wash working.
