Default Quick detailing for a parade tomorrow

My car is pretty clean, but I'm just wondering if there is something I can use to make the shine "pop" for the parade tomorrow. It needs to be something I can pick up locally at an auto parts store or Wal-Mart or something similar.

Is there a "detailing spray" or something that people have had good results with? Should I use Lemon Pledge?

The car is a red C6 convertible with a good coat of wax. But it has been driven a few days since being washed. It will be too cold tonight to wash it again.

I have never tried Lemon Pledge so I can't help there. If it were me I would pick up some Mother's quick detailer and use that just before the parade. You can get it at most auto supply stores etc. Based on short time available that may be your best option. I've always liked most of Mother's car care products for something locally available. Good luck with it.

Try the Pledge. It will give the paint a wet look that looks fantastic. Just take the can and a couple of microfiber towels with you and wipe the car down once you get to your destination.

Meguiar's makes a pretty good over the counter quick detailer. If I was forced to use it in a pinch it works fine.

No parades in December up in my part of the country. My John Deere tractor will parade down my driveway tomorrow with the snow blower attachment though. It does have a nice Zaino finish on it though
