Do a search on Armor All, it's been discussed many times in the archives.

I did some search here on Armor All but I can't see much about negative things discussed about the product

Hi. I've already done a search in the various detailing fora before I posted my question.

Admittedly, it is *not* a favorite product line. However, it is worthy to note that a search would reveal that a number of Autopia members nevertheless use Armor All. Here are some threads/posts:

http://www.autopia.org/forum/382787-post3.html

http://www.autopia.org/forum/pro-det...ero-x5-h2.html

Experiences given by these people piqued my curiosity as to why it should be avoided "at all costs".

ako din matagal longevity ng rain clear and madaling i apply. Ang nakita ko nga lang na downside sakanya eh natunaw ung Lake Country na Foam pad ko nung ginamit ko na pang apply ng rain clear. Ngayon gamit ko na lang eh Sponge sa pag apply.

Hi Guys,

after dusting the car, Insted of using a QD i'm using a MF towel dump with water to wipe the car.

my question is, the MF towel dump with water will deminish the effect of the wax?

Not necessarily as long as you use tap water only. I've read somewhere that chois strips off wax. Some QD also strips off wax.

I humbly suggest that you still use your quick detailer, not because of its effect on the wax, but because you would rather prefer to minimize the risk of putting spiderwebs on the paint.

But to be on topic, paki-check mo itong related article sa Meguiars forum. It's about the effect of those products or processes that require you to "touch", or do some wiping on, your paint.

Hope this helps.
