quick detailer

[Millsy]

following on from the dry your car thread i was wondering, if i were to wash my car down, could i then use my dodo red mist QD sprayed directly on to the wet car and using a microfibre towel to dry and QD at the same time?

previously i have dried the car first then gone round with QD.

 

[Gally]

I think it aids the dying process mate.

 

[JD]

lol at both aids and dying

it doesnt aid drying, it stops the towels marring the surface as it puts down "lubricants" in between the paintwork and the towels

jamie

edit - so in answer to your first question, yes, that is the idea

 

[Millsy]

hmm might give it a go when i next wash it then as the chammy does occasionally leave marring.

so is the best process, to wash down, then go over with QD and towel until dry etc?

Pmsl! My grammar is always spot on as well. I've seen enough of you today anyway! Aids! Pmsl!

I spray a bit onto my towel and dry with that.

 

[AlexG]

1 spray of last touch or britemax QD on the panel then go over it with the drying towel. 2 sprays for bigger panels such as bonnet and roof.

pmsl, loves it!

top man, i spray it and move the bottle, so that each "spritz" covers as much of the panel as poss

 

[ipodsandguns]

I wouldnt recommend using the dodo QD as a drying aid as it will soon run out and it aint the best value product. Last Touch FTW.

 

[Curley]

Red mist IS NOT a drying aid. The panel should be dry before using it!

Get something else, Last touch is cheap and does a great job for this purpose

 

[RussZS]

As above, this is a spray sealant and not a drying aid - it will leave a right mess behind

Last Touch is okay too. Finish Kare 425 be the daddy.

regarding the time to dry;

"Please note that because it destroys beading, the beading effect of a wax will be reduced if this product is used (it won't remove the wax, just prevent it beading; protection will remain in place). Dodo Juice recommends a final spray of Red Mist to reintroduce the beading effect, if necessary."

b****cks to that lol

but still an interesting product that i was not aware of. still love the megs range though, 5 litre bottles ftw

 

[riz]

DOdo my arse

TO dry either use Megs / Chemical synthetic detailer, or if your lazy and want a half decent job use Duragloss Aquawax

 

[oz_clio]

CG pro detailers great.

if your after something cheaper maybe last touch or citrus bling?

 

[RussZS]

Lol, nice Riz.

The bead killing shizzle is a bit random, but the idea is you buy Red Mist too, to top it up.

Last Touch does the job tbh. 3.8L for £18, but it dilutes 1:1 with council pop.

 

[Millsy]

cheers for the info guys, looks like i'll be buying more cleaning stuff soon

 

[alex-avfc]

Quite impressed with Clearkote Quickshine, one spritz goes a long way

Are Dodo actually saying there was a beading effect in the 1st Place? I thought it dissapeared after the first wash anyways! Lol

If you have some wax on (say their Supernatural) which beads for a good few months, then this product will kill the beading properties.

The idea is that you top up afterwards with Red Mist - quite clever really, kind of makes you dependent on other parts of the range.

It is a great product, but having to always top up your wax is a bit of a pisser.

 

[clio_luke]

will megs QD be up to the job of stopping marring when drying with a large MF towel

 

[DCI_DUDE]

so is it best to use the dodo 'time to dry' to help dry the car then the red mist when it is dry ??

YOu can or use megs detailer or Chem guys synthetic detailer to dry and ZAino Z8 instead of red mist

If you want to stick with Dodo then yes, they are designed to work together.

As Riz said though, there are alternatives.
