Stupid questions, detailing sprays and wash
I got both my cars professionally detailed over the past couple of weeks.
The detailer used Meguiar’s NXT Generation products (wash and paste wax).
I'd like to get a quick detailer spray for when I wash the car. Problem is that Meguiar’s NXT Generation spray says to apply it in the shade when the car is cool to the touch. That's pretty tough at my house.
Other products, such as Turtle Wax ICE, say they can be applied in direct sunlight.
So my question is, do I need to stick with the same detailing spray as was used to wax the car, or can I use any brand?
Also, should I be using the Meguiar’s NXT Generation car wash for best results, or again can I use any quality brand?

You can use any detailing spray. Shade is better, but with quick detailer spray you should be fine. PoorBoy products are known for ease of use in the sun or shade............ http://www.detailcity.com/poorboys-w...-products.html

Poorboys Spray and Wash and Spray and Gloss are nice products. Clearkote Quickshine is another. Finish Kare 425 is also very nice. All will work well for the end user even if car is detailed professionally. They all work well with most every line of products. I would try not to use any in direct sunlight during the middle of the day (streaking might occur) but you dont need to run for a tree or shade also.

If I had the time to spend 12 hours on each car, I would have. I don't. That's why I paid someone to do it.
Why can't people just answer the question that was asked instead of someone always jumping in with a 'better' idea?
Sorry, I just get tired of this kind of thing on the forum. You drank the Zaino kool-aid, fine. I don't care. Answer the question or move on to the next post.

I'm a believer with staying within the product line. So I would stay with the NXT detailer.

No no... you totally misunderstood me...
You definately wouldn't be starting from scratch....
I'm sorry if I mentioned Zaino but I am a new user of it and its pretty much what I thought of..... replace 'Zaino' with "Any DURABLE sealant".....
I was just tryin to tell ya that the job you paid good money for aint gonna last you sh*t if you leave the NXT on there and I'm speaking from experience here, so I'm sorry for honestly trying to help you out, but washing your allready detailed vehicle and adding a DURABLE sealant would take you MAX 2 hours (and thats going slow).... and in my eyes make what you paid for at least last a few months...
