Is there any think half decent I can buy that allows me to just spray on the car and wipe over the car to bring out a shine and remove any dusts from the paint in between washing, I don't mean instead of washing the car just in-between washes.

Washed the car today and when finish work tomorrow if it has any dust or light dirt i could just 'wipe it off' to keep it clean longer or to remove water marks if its been raining. Lately ive just used a damp water magnet towel to do this.

Yup, was just about to suggest that. Isn't to be used on really dirty cars, but is good on slightly dirty or dusty cars. I use it in the summer on cars that are on weekly maintenance and hardly do any miles between visits, and near enough all classic cars that I look after

This one any good?

Bit of a bump, but my car is filthy, not washed for two weeks.

Just about to try and wash it with the No rinse stuff in the freezing cold as its off to a garage tomorrow morning.

Im planning on getting the Optimum No Rinse for show season , rather than just QD'ing and effectively scratching the car

. 3CorsaMeal is that what your trying ? If so let me know what you think !

I've had the stuff a few years, but only use it in weird circumstances, i think its good stuff. Dunno about totally scratch free, especially with the amount of dirt i've just cleaned off

(i don't care too much atm, will polish it in the summer) looks great now though and minimal effort, just used 1 cloth and 2 buckets to do the whole car

For got I made this was just been looking at wax's. Any one use a wax that really lasts a good while. Don't want to be spending hours every month applying it ect so is there one that after a couple of coats or even one will last a good few months?

I've had some poor boys wax that didn't seem to last a month, is collonite still rated?
