Extremeoh 1st Gear September 23, 2017 Share September 23, 2017 Dear all, Can I have your comment on the above product? Does it mean that you can use on your car without water? https://www.amazon.com/Armor-All-78462-Ultra-Detailer/dp/B001PSN2LA ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklee 6th Gear September 23, 2017 Share September 23, 2017 I think this one is like a quick detailer, use in-between full washes for touch up. What is it you want to achieve? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extremeoh 1st Gear September 24, 2017 Author Share September 24, 2017 I think this one is like a quick detailer, use in-between full washes for touch up. What is it you want to achieve? To have a quick clean before a full wash. The concern I have here is will such a product really lift the dirt from the car and wash/wipe off easily? Will the process scratch the car because of the dirt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armor All I have no experience, I don't seem to be able to find the product you mentioned on their website. I suggest you look at brands which have more information on the internet and many others have used before. I use Optimum Quick Instant Detailer and Optimum Opti-Clean. I don't really clean an entire panel but more for spot or small area cleaning. I think the right microfiber is important as I tried Opti-Clean with the microfiber I used for apply quick wax, it left behind streaks. It should be my skill problem.

Beside streaks, any fine scratches on the spot that you cleaned? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklee 6th Gear September 24, 2017 Share September 24, 2017 Does it really lift dirt? Beside streaks, any fine scratches on the spot that you cleaned? Yes, removing dirty is a mechanical action. When I tried, no observable fine scratches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrylmt Supercharged October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 This looks to be a wash+wax product. Would be advisable to use only on the car body, and avoid applying it onto your windscreen as it might cause the wipers to judder. With visible (chunky) bits of dirt stuck on the car body, I always spray water generously to wash off all the dirt before i apply soap and rub the car body. Am looking at investing in a portable handspray to try and do "snow-wash" on my own. That way it minimises the friction onto my car body (which might sometimes cause scratches).

It is difficult to generate foam using a hand sprayer. Previously what I did was sprayer in one hand, the other hand the wash mitt or brush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
