A quick detailer removes dust, fingerprints, and light dirt between washes and adds gloss with a simple spray and wipe. Some double as a waterless wash or clay lube. We carry detail sprays from P&S, Koch-Chemie, Gtechniq, Armour Detail Supply, and Optimum.

Quick detailer or waterless wash?
A quick detailer is for light dust and fingerprints on a car that's already clean. A waterless wash has more lubrication for light dirt. For anything heavier, use a rinseless wash. Learn the difference in our waterless car wash guide, and wipe with plush rinseless wash towels.
