Detail Spray Build Up

[jakerodz7]

Hello all,

 

I was on youtube the other day looking for waterless wash usage videos since we have determined I am apparently using too much.  I came upon one where the guy in the video talked about how he preferred to use WW instead of Detail Spray on his car because eventually the detail spray would build up so much that it would inhibit the shine of the paint.  I didn't think this was possible as I am sure the amount of wax/carnauba/protection in the DS was minimal and wouldn't affect this.

 

My question is:

 

should this be a concern of mine If I am using DS as a drying aid with my weekly washes and then during the week with 1 or 2 rinseless washes?  (3 washes total)

 

My other question is:

 

Also, speaking of wax build up, I am trying to burn through my buttery as quickly as possible (to get the new stuff), so how often can I get away with using it without it building up and making the paint opaque?

You are fine with the way you are using DS, no worries of build up.

As far as the Buttery, there are a lot of variables........does the car live outside or a garage queen?

You'd have to use a lot of detail spray nearly every day to get any build-up. It mostly evaporates.

I haven't had any problems with detail spray buildup, if you do, just waterless wash and then keep detail spraying!

 

Like above, how often do you wax and does the car live outside?

Thanks for the responses on the DS build up.

 

As for the buttery wax question, my car is outside 24/7.

Thanks for the responses on the DS build up.

 

As for the buttery wax question, my car is outside 24/7.

You could wax every 2 or 3 months.

You could wax every 2 or 3 months

Perfect, 

 

does that time frame at all go up if I am adding other protection to the paint.

 

usually my 4 full washes a month go:

 

1st weekend: Buttery Wax

2nd weekend: wash and wash and brilliant glaze

3rd weekend: H2O G&G

4th weekend: brilliant glaze

 

then 1 to 2 rinseless washes or waterless to maintain the paint during the week.

Have you considered PS as a base layer? Being outside 24/7, it will give you extended protection (6+ months with new formula) and you can still do your routine as outlined.
