DannyP Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 So basically I'm a bit hungover and can't be arsed to do a full detail of the Zed today. So was wondering if anyone had any tips in order to do a quick job but still get good results. I've heard that a wash then a spray of quick detailer is a quick, simple way to get a good shine, anyone else tried this before and what were the results?

Stew Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yes, I do it often. A good spray sealant can top up protection, add a little to the look and takes 5 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p40ulw Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 i gave my ZED a deep clean then a quick detail before i came away (for 4 weeks) this time the autoglym stuff is really good and you can use it on the windows aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If your original big clean was good, then just a simple wash will get the shine back, no quick detailer needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Like Ekona says, if the original clean was good enough you can get away with a quick wash. I for instance detail my car heavily. I've managed on some occasions to just jet wash and snow foam the car and it's clean. I don't even need to put my hands to the paintwork. But that's probably because I've got an inch worth of Wax on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb1965 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 If you want a quick way of topping up the wax them megs ultimate quick wax is fantastic..easy on off,use it on glass, plastic paint..hydrophobic. I love this stuff, you can do the car in about 20 minutes. I've just ordered this stuff which is supposed to be the same according to the american sites, this is the only place I've found does it: http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/megu ... riant=5051 Due to be delivered Monday, so hopefully it is the same. Way cheaper than the small spray bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev T Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 i find quick wash then Dodo juice Red Mist gives a great shine providing the paintwork has been prepped well previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 this time the autoglym stuff is really good and you can use it on the windows aswell! Surely putting Autoglym wax on the windows would cause strobing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
