Wash vs. Quick Deailer

[deathspared]

So I waxed my car a week and a half ago and used last touch on it about 5 days ago to make it clean again. A few days have passes and it's looking a little dusty again.

My question is how do you judge that you need to wash vs. use some quick detailer? What's the longest you've gone or will go without giving it a full bath? Thanks!

I would just play it safe and wash your vechile. I usually wont perform a "quik detail" after 3 days regardless of how little or how much dust has collected.

Well, for my 24/7 outside car, the only time I use QD (Last Touch 1:1 for me as well) is no later than 1 day after it's been washed. Any later than that, and there's just too much dust to deal with. Or if I have bird bombs, then I'll use the QD on that no matter what. I don't want urea and all that acidic nonsense eating through my wax and into the clearcoat .

I wash about 3x/month.

Use the QD and if it not as clean as you want, wash it.
