Also how dirty is too dirty to use a car duster... also how dirty is too dirty to use a quck detailer?
Also what is a foam gun and is it safer to use than a wash mitt?
My car had a full detail just on Friday sealed with optimum's optiseal. Thanks!

I replied to your PM, but I'll answer here as well so everyone can see it.
You are safe to waterless wash as long as you've properly washed a couple days before hand. Do not completely replace the full car wash with the waterless wash method. I would say to be safe don't waterless wash your car more then twice inbetween proper washes.
To make sure the car is not too dirty find in your mind the most unseen or not looked at paint of your car and mist the area with QD. When you make your first 2-3 passes with your MF towl check to see how soiled it is. If it's turned black then you'll be better off to just wash the car. If it's only slightly dirty then go do the entire car.
To remove bugs and bird poo spray the area with the QD and allow it to set in for a minute or so. Then go ahead and wipe clean. If it all doesn't come off in the first pass no worries, spray it again, let it set in and wipe the rest off.
As for the foam guns, I've never used one. George prolly knows more then I do. But I would say that a good sheepskin wash mit and a proper lubricating car wash is the absolute best and most effective way to clean your car. If your lazy then get the foam gun or Mr. Clean whatever. If you care about your car just do it the proper way the first time.
Any questions?
