Default Just a quick review of a so called quick detailer.

Before I start I would like to say for the record that I don't generally buy into waterless washing procedures which in my opinion quick detailers fall into.

Sometimes however I will use meguires quick detailer( the burgundy bottle) if the vehicle is pretty clean and also if there is a slight annoyance on an area that is annoying me. For example bugs splattered on front bumper cover which is incidentally also clear bra'd and a magnet for bug stains\etching - another story.

I recently had the displeasure of trying a product called Turtle Wax Ice quick detailer. The product again in my humble opinion is labelled incorrectly. There is no "quick" in detailing as far as this product goes. Let me expand for a moment, from where I come from and used to, the application of a quick detailer means spray and wipe off. This particular product requires one to spray then wipe and then wipe again( with another cloth) the waxy smeary residue that it leaves behind once dried. Well, in my books this ain't no "quick" detailer. Moreover, using this product since we are wiping area more than once could result in more added swirls and scratches since after all we are waterless washing a given area. More so given the fact that the second pass with the microfiber is applied on a dry lube free surface.

This product states that it also hides minor swirl marks, good job too. As you will be making a good few of those.

As a quick detailer this item belongs in the trash can. Perhaps it might work after a wash, who knows.
