Washed and waxed car on Saturday. It rained last night. I would like to go over the car with some Adam`s Quick Detail Spray to clean it up and get rid of the water spots. Is this okay or is the risk of scratching too great? I can`t wash it until Saturday. Thanks!

It depends how much dirt is on the car. QDs are only for light dust removal. Otherwise you should use something like Poorboy`s Spray and Wipe or QEW (or similar...Optimum, DP).

Adams Detail Spray has some very good cleaning ability, but it still depends on how dirt your car is. I think you should be ok though.

Thanks. It`s not really dirty. Just water spots.

Realizing that I`m a fanatic about marring, I`d wait until you can wash it. All it takes is *one* minute speck of something abrasive...

For me, it would have to be very, very minor for me to go to the QD. Otherwise, I would wash, but then I trust my wash routine more than my QD routine.



And no, it`s not a dumb question. The dumb question was the one that a ninth-grader asked me about an hour ago ; )

Well, I used the QD and it looks fine. I was really concerend that the water spots would harden and etch the paint before Saturday. I used lots of spray and several microfibers.

If you have any doubt at all, I`d let it go until you can actually wash it right. I use both a C-duster and QD`s, but only if the car is almost pristine. I only want to compound occasionally :-)
