Instant Detailing issues and questions

[tampatopless]

Instant detailing was never an issue for me. Just never did it. Always washed the car once a week. But time being what it is and with so many good Detailers on the market, I was wondering:

Exactly how much micro-abrasion goes on when you instant detail a dry car?

Keep in mind we go to great lengths to avoid micro-abrasions and swirl marks: separate rinse bucket, micro-fiber with no borders or seams, American vs foreign cotton (yes, I actually read that last one).

So why would not spraying something on a dry car and then rubbing whatever's on there off not be a problem? All that grit and debris and you are just dragging it on the surface of the car.

Do I have this wrong? I hope I do because I use carnuba P21s on a torch red Mustang and some of these detailers bring out a lot of pop without having to wash the car.

Tx in advance for any thoughts or advice.

Obviously ONR is what you need.

Quick Detailer's work good for spot cleaning light dirt or drying aid.

ONR encapsulates the dirt and removes from the surface which reduces the risk.

I now only use detailer for bird bombs and right after washing. In the instance that I do use detailer on paint it is used like water-less washing.I have learned to look at dust and dirt until it can be cleaned with a proper method that is the least aggressive to avoid damage.
