You wax before using spray detailer or wax after spray deatailer?

Also after using my microfiber and terry cloth towels can i wash them with laundry detergent? I know you wash em and don't use fabric softener, just wondering since some towels will get wax etc on em how will they get clean if you just use water to wash em.

A spray detailer is for a quick touch up shine after a wash or after "dust" is removed from your vehicle with a California Duster or equal.

First, use Meguiars NXT, IMHO, for a good base coat, polished finish. Usually good for 3 months and in between, use the detailer.

Definatly what steve said, spray detailer is for quick touch ups.

For your towels, just use detergent, woolite is a favorite of mine. No fabric softner.

Ahh I see, thanks for the info. Another question I had was does the CA duster scratch your paint? and how many days after you wash your car can you use the detailer spray for?

Personally I wouldnt use the California duster myself I dont trust it to not mar the paint. You can use quick detailer anytime some people use it right after a wash to add shine and slickness to the paint.

Trust me on this one, it will NOT mar or scratch the paint. Having said that, I do replace mine when it's obviously collected too much dust/dirt and use the old one on the engine compartment.

It only takes me a few minutes to mix up some ONR and give my truck a quick wash so I just do that when it gets dusty.

Hell yeah on the ONR. Takes like 20min to detail the whole rig, including the inside.

I wanna hump ONR when it gets cold. I love it that much.

Optimum No-Rinse. Allows you to wash your truck with 2gal of water in your garage without a hose. Alot of detailers have used this and dont even own a hose anymore.

I am planning a ONR writeup soon. It will help many people that dont have acces to a garage or water in winter.

I started using ONR earlier this year because of water restrictions and I won't be going back to a conventional wash. On these really hot days and during the winter you can wash your truck in the garage. It also leaves behind a nice shine and some slickness. You can also mix it a little stronger and its makes a great quick detailer. I highly recommend it.
