It's the best one I've found. Takes about ten minutes (if that) to do the whole car and it looks great.

Another tip, after the drive and before the Quik Detailer, I shut the garage door, spray all four tires with Stoner's "More Shine Less Time for Tires" (glossy finish) or their "Trim Shine" (matt finish), then I either wipe it down or spin it around the block again to keep the tire shine spit off the paint.

All in all, this is the best mini-detail method I've found.

I also just started using a California Car duster this year. Something tells me it *has* to be scratching the paint but, if it is, I haven't been able to see them yet. Anyone else have any comments on them??
