When is on hand QD enough - 03-03-2010, 05:36 PM

I took inventory of my quick detailer today and counting the stuff that you mix with water to make a QD I have 12 brands that total more than 35 gallons.

At what point is it enough.

Quick answer, enough is never enough...


But please don't let JP see this thread...We'll lose him for weeks while he attempts to inventory his QDs. I've heard (don't tell anyone) he's something of a QD junkie.

I don't think I have a dozen, though I do hesitate to do a count.

If JP sees this he will go to the garage to take inventory and he will never be heard from for months it will take that long for him to do the inventory.

Now to the real question.
How many times a month do you use a true QD?

If the vehicle is slightly dirty, I use Spray & Wipe.
For use during the drying process, I use Aqua Wax.

While I probably have three or four different QDs, I probably don't use a QD 10 times a year.

From late October to Mid April I use a rinse-less wash or hose wash.

April to late October I never wash unless I get caught in a rain.

Every time I drive even if it is only 15 mile to town and back i use a QD when I get home.

Since I QD ever time I drive I can go all summer and not wash.

Bart,

Based on that, if you used 1 OZ on a car everyday. You have enough for 12 years and 27.3 days.

I say you use 2 OZ and cut your time in half, talk to again 2017 on January the 13th.
