I tried the Mother's California Gold QD and I found that it streaks a bit. I was a little disappointed, as the Meguiar's Ultimate QD did not. I'm pretty much ready to take it back to the store, but think I'll give it another try just to make sure I didn't over-spray the hood, if you will.

What QD do you all use?

I welcome all of Ken's Griots comments. Let the onslaught begin!

Just curious, but do you ever use it on your glass?

onzedge · 05-18-2011, 05:34 PM

I use Meguiars Ultimate QD. There's a technique to it. Use 2 microfibers -- one wet and one dry.

I do not

For glass -- use this:

Invisible Glass | No Streaks | Glass Cleaner

I've been using RainX Glass Cleaner and Rain Repellant. Stuff works pretty good.

The tricky part with the 370z glass is that it seems to like to spot very easily and more so than in any other car I have or have had. Uh-oh, I hope I don't start people down the Nissan glass-bashing (like paint-bashing) path.

I use adams glass cleaner as well as their glass sealant

Werd, I use Griots

WindowCleaner and dedicated glass MF towel. Its the right towel that makes the difference for glass imo. The glass MF towel I got from Prima Car Care.

the strands are looped and not cut loose like regular detailing MF towel.

For interior side of the glass I use Prima Clarity. This stuff is safe on even LCD's and tints.

Ok so tonight I moved the Ings from here to there in prep for more prep work tonight.

Good stuff! Glad to hear you've made such progress!

^Weather must be good today for spraying.

Made an appointment for another alignment, this time at Firestone. They have a promo going on for lifetime alignment (every 6k miles or when needed) for a one time charge of $149. Beats the dealer one time alignment fee of $99 and Firestone also has the Hunter Rack...woot..woot.
