Quick Wax Mini-detail

I posted a while back about buying PB QW+ and I finally got a chance to put it to full use.

We have had some cold days and the forecast for this weekend was warmer weather. On the way home yesterday I stopped at the car wash to get my Cowboy boots (I'm from Texas!) shined and yes, I ran the car through for a wash and vac. I know, I know, a sad choice. But, hey, my boots looked awesome!

This afternoon, the weather warmed up so I got out the PB QW+. I used an MF applicator and a Cobra Indigo MF to remove the wax. I sprayed the wax on a few places, like the hood and this worked okay, but I found it better to spray on the applicator. Less over spray that way.

The QW+ was easy to apply. I did the whole car sans half the hood and trunk lid to see if there was a difference. I then used the Indigo MF to remove and it was surprisingly easy to remove. I say that because I applied it thin but it looked thick (see the photos).

I could see a little difference in the half and half but I don't think the camera could pick up the subtle difference. After the whole car had been waxed with the QW+ I grabbed my PB Spray & Gloss and a plush MF. After that I applied some Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel to the tires.

I liked the way the QW+ went on and off. It was indeed quick. It cleaned off some water spots left from the crappy car wash the evening before.

On with the pictures!

Nice looking little detail!! It is also nice to have such a nice palate to work off of. I really appreciate the pictures.

Keep us updated with how well it lasts. One of the few Poorboy's products that I do not have any experience with. I will be interested in your observations.
 
On a somewhat related topic. The weather is even nicer here today. It's in the 70's! I waxed the wife's Quest with Natty's Red after a quick wipe down with PB S&W. I followed up the N. Red with some S&G. No pictures.

The Natty's Red was easy to apply and remove but no where as easy as the QW+. Which makes sense of course. But I was glad to confirm it.

On a more related topic, the Jag is looking good today after the QW+ and SG yesterday.

Your car looks great Reddwarf. I waxed the wifes Quest today also, but I used Collinite 845 instead of my Natty's because I was looking for the durability. The darn thing is so big I get tired of waxing on it, especially when I see the Mustang sitting over on the other side looking like it needs some love. I wonder why the Mustang is so much more fun to wax then the Quest? I'll bet the Jag is also!:bigups

We have that I common for sure! I like to have the Quest clean and protected but I can't say I get a lot of enjoyment out of it because after it is done, its still a mini-van. :( And as you point out it is a lot of work!

I've not tried Collinite, but everyone says it offers great durability.

Update on PB QW+

After 8 days I washed the Jag today. Before washing I sprayed some water on the car to check the beading to see how the PB QW+ was holding up. It looks darn good to me!

In case anyone is interested. I washed the car with PB SSS+ wax. I finished with a QD of Clearkote Quickshine.

It was such a beautiful day I was tempted to slap on a coat of wax, but I washed the wife's Quest instead.
