Question about detailing a car without washing it

**nitrox28** · 05-14-2010, 08:45 PM

I know this belongs in the detailing section, but I need a quick answer. Here's the deal.....I just found out that I'll be taking my son to a birthday at 10am tomorrow morning, and I'll be staying until it's over (oooh what fun). My 300 is a little dirty and obviously I don't have time to wash it at 12:30am and I'm not getting up at the crack of dawn to detail it. Do you think it would be ok to hit it with a microfiber and some quick detal spray? Most of the dirt is just pollen and water spots and I could knock it out in less than 30 minutes. Thoughts?

go to walmart and get a california duster.

remove dust/pollen with duster then spray some detailer.

also i would recommend some ONR no rinse wash. for your future car wash soap.

google it and you will see what it does

I would not do it... It could leave scratches....

just spray it down with the water hose and use a ABSORBER cloth from autozone works great. Its almost the same as a sham wow. Bout ten bucks

And welcome in the swirl marks....LOTS of them.

**damianj03** · 05-16-2010, 06:04 PM

i never notice any swirl marks on mine then again they probably just blend in with the scratches lol

**allbaugh_04** · 05-16-2010, 07:32 PM

You can wash it in less than 30 man.

It takes me 5 min at the car wash and another 5-10 to wipe it down.

Usually my car is already clean though, just dust. So it makes it easy.

ULTRA LUSTER it's a warterless car wash it's made of polemer (spelling?) Great product you can aply it in direct sun light.

I cleaned my girls jeep with it in florida at noon in direct sun light with no problem.

No scratches at all

just spray it on the dirt let it sit a min then buff with micro fiber
