Time is only one factor in considering quick detailing. Water shortages, lack of facilities and bad weather are also things that make normal washing more difficult.
Done properly, quick detailing can reduce the amount of time you spend cleaning your car. It also reduces the effects of harmful elements (road grime, bird droppings, bugs, etc.), and keeps your car looking sharp. Ten minutes every day or every other day is all it takes to maintain a great looking finish.
Supplies:
To properly Quick Detail your car you'll need a few high quality plush microfiber buffing towels, and our quick detailing spray. A car duster also works well at removing the top layer of dust prior to quick detailing, but is not necessary.
EXTERIOR QUICK DETAILING
The number one concern most people have with quick detailing is scratching or dulling the paint. This is a genuine concern and warrants discussion.
Quick detailing your paint is perfectly safe if you follow a few cautionary measures:
Use only high quality microfiber buffing towels with a thick, plush nap
Use plenty of quick detailing spray
If in doubt, if you think your car might be too dirty, don't quick detail, wash it instead.
QUICK DETAILING PROCEDURE
Paint Condition: To prevent scratching and swirl marks, a Quick Detail Spray should not be used to clean large areas with heavy dirt. If in doubt or when heavy dirt is present, wash your vehicle with our quality car shampoo.
Always use a high quality microfiber buffing towel and fold your towel into quarters.
Start at the top and work your way down to the lower surfaces of your car. Holding the Quick Detail Spray 12" to 15" away, lightly mist about a 2' by 2' area on the surface of your car with Shipshape Autospa 3in1 Quick Detailer Spray.
Gently wipe in a straight line back and forth , then flip the microfiber buffing towel and buff dry.
As the surface of the microfiber buffing towel gets dirty, flip it to a clean side.
If needed, when all sides of the towel start to look a little dirty, switch to a fresh microfiber buffing towel.
PRO TIP! For that flawless, just detailed look after washing your car, use a quick detailer to eliminate any streaks, spots and enhance the gloss.
Now that you are familiar with quick detailing your car, you can easily get the job done in as little as 5 to 10 minutes. Compare this to the 45 to 60 minutes it takes to wash and dry your car. If you did a quick detail on your car every day, or every other day, you would spend no more time than you would with a weekly wash, and your car will always have that freshly detailed look.
