Got some ONR on the way to test either No Rinse or even No Wash depending on how easy it is to move the wash bucket down two flights of stairs (covered parking)

What type of rag do you use with the Quick Detailer? I'm in almost the same situation as you in terms of where we live.

I'm actually using a 2 microfiber technique, and just using some generic microfibers that are decent but not great (have Cobras ordered and on the way).

The first time I tried using one rag, but it just got too wet even with strict wet/dry sides so I switched to one rag for each. I also found that for me folding the rags into triangles 3 times works better for maneuverability and coverage than just folding twice horizontally.

Took me a while to find a good balance in the panel break-up for cleaning, but I've found this works best with quick detailer misting and drying each panel before moving to the next:

- 2 panels on the roof
- 2 panels on hood
- 2 panels front spoiler to the turn signals
- 1 panel from turn signal to door hinge
- 1 panel door
- 1 panel door open to mid rear wheel well
- 1 panel wheel well to lower bumper
- 2 panel trunk top and face

Let me know if you have any good tips as well!

Been using it since 2002 myself. I used it while stationed in Japan, Utah and now Arizona. Good thing this cars small though.

Heck yeah! Been a user since '01. Guess everyone has their thing, but for all my travels and products things stuff smells the best, doesn't powder, and doesn't make my hands feel like they have been in chemicals all day. plus everything is cross compatible!
