funny thing..... i bought a meguires "gold class" quick detailer spray with a wax from costco...... its a combo pack........ so just recently i ran out of the spray.... so i drove to all the automotive stores to look for it, and couldnt find it... its not even listed on the meguires site.... so i had to get the mothers showtime spray.... not as a deep shine from the gold class... if anyone knows where i can get it... would greatly appreciate it... i miss it.

When dusting the car, I make sure to let the duster lightly glide over the surface while supporting the weight of the handle, but you're applying a lot more pressure when quick detailing and in my view run the risk of scratching the surface.? I realize lots of people don't share my concern, but that's my view.

Completely agree with you stream. If my car is dusty I don't like to wipe the dust off with a cloth, that's what causes those ugly swirl marks. It doesn't look as bad on a silver car, but the swirls are there. It's worse on a black color. I've seen the california duster sold in stores but I've never tried it, maybe I will. Thanks

I don't think anyone would want to wipe dust off with a cloth either. The process Luve60 described is what I also do. Gently dust the car with the California Duster and then use the QD to clean and polish. I get awesome results. I usually do this every other day and it stretches my wash cycle quite a bit.
