claybar, ultimate quick detailer?

[Alexandre]

Can I use the claybar with the Ultimate Quick Detailer instead of the Quick Detailer? If not, can I use it with water/shampoo combination?

Re: claybar, ultimate quick detailer?

Well, neither is great.

The UQD will be more expensive than QD, and could interfere with picking up the dirt.

The soap/water will work, but can lead to the clay falling apart, if you were to use the clay, then store it for a while. If you use the clay up all at once, or relatively soon, then there would be no problem.

Mayber I should consider getting the Quick Detailer to use with it. You know I was in a store and I found the claybar, not from meguiars but I guess it is ok to use it as if it was.

Meguiar's only recommends using Quik Detailer, Final Inspection, or Last Touch diluted 1:1 as a clay lubricant.

Yeah, the QD should work fine with other companies clay.

By all means use quik detailer. You would be wasting product and money otherwise.

I just ordered some Last Touch for quick detailing and clay bar use. Any reason not to use it full strength for claying? Does it somehow perform better diluted 1:1?

I know this would use less product, but it's priced fair anyways, less than a bottle of QD when you buy a large container.

Re: claybar, ultimate quick detailer?

Yes, it does perform better 1:1.

Re: claybar, ultimate quick detailer?

Not only does it perform better, you get 2 gallons for the price of one. When you dilute it for claying.

The 1:1 recommendation is not about saving money, although that is a added benefit. We recommended diluting Last Touch for claying because it is too slick at full strength for best results.
