Thanks for the reply George! So if it is warm enough in the garage to do the ONR thing, then waxing would be fine? I can use some heaters to get the garage into the 50's, if strongly recommended.

No problem Shane. If you have access to the heaters, you might as well use them. It will only make you more comfortable during the process and the products will perform better (easier to apply and remove).

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. I know how hard it can be to detail in the winter months!

Great to have you here George... I buy all my detail stuff through you guys.
You're Daily Specials e-mail always drags me to your site... Very clever man!!!

I'm thinking of opening an indoor Detail facility for us North Easterners.
We get all kinds of grime on our cars in the winter months, and car washes
just seem to scrape it off instead of carefully washing it. I could use a detail
product supplier... Ya game? PM me.

Hey George,

Im looking for a spray glaze that will give me some added shine to use right before a show. Any product that you would recommend?

George- I have a somewhat loaded question for you. When I detail my Nissan and Infiniti, I first wash them thoroughly and after rinsing, is when I clay them. The water on the surface naturally lubricates the paint and allows the clay to glide across. I've tried it with the spray detailers, but think my method is equally effective. Granted, our water here in Colorado is pretty clean and mineral-free, and I still dry the surface before applying any polishes or protectants. I don't want to get you in trouble with any of your suppliers, but would appreciate your candid thoughts on this practice.

Also would use of a spray glaze reduce the life of protection of wax currently on the car?

I don't offer any spray on "glazes" in the literal sense of the word glaze, but something like Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer can help boost your gloss and depth for a show. It also works on either a sealant or wax, whatever you are using for your last step of protection.

Chances are you're adding some marring if you are just using water as your lubrication. At a bare minimum, you want to mix in some shampoo with the water for added lubrication. You may not be able to see the marring without the proper lighting and if you are polishing after perhaps you are removing it before you notice it... Up to you if you want to continue on that way but at a bare minimum I'd mix in some shampoo. Optimum No Rinse diluted with water makes for a great clay bar lubricant as does many other shampoos.

Depends on the product used... If you go with something like the QD I recommended, then no, it would actually help enhance it. If you use a product that has oil or clay fillers and then work it into the paint, you may jeopardize your protection, like I said all depends on the product in question.

Hope that helps.

I see thanks George! I ended up going to the local autoshop and picking up Meguiars Ultimate Quick Spray Wax. I plan on using this right before a show for that boosted shine! What's your opinion on this product? I hear that this is safe to use with previous applications on the car.

I haven't used that particular product, but if it's like the Meg's Ultimate Quik Detailer, then it should be a winner. Keep us posted what you think of the produce once you get a chance to use it.

Thanks replied.

This is just a brash but simple question... what kind of QD can I keep in my truck for bird poop clean up? My car sits out in the sun for hours at a time so the surface will be hot and worst case senario, the bird poop (if I get any on the paint) will bake for at least 2-3 hours before I can get to it. Does heat damage or ruin QD?

I normally just use some kind of Mothers QD (California Gold or Reflections) but not sure if those will work for bird poop.
