I detailed my truck the other day but sadly ran out of time since I had to work. I was able to get paint sealant on a good 13 hours before I had to leave for work so it could cure, and my truck sits in my garage when I home. I work for 24 hours and my truck is sadly out in the elements for the time I work. When I drove home I did have moisture build up on the truck. I want to but on the Fuzion today but I already know there are contaminates on my truck. Can I use the Deep Gloss Spritz to clean truck off and then put Fuzion on or do I need to rewash truck.
 
if there is anything other than light dust accumulation while the car is covered in a garage, using a QD for a wipedown is not going to cut it.

You say it has been exposed to the elements including moisture which means any dirt on the paint has now attached itself as that moisture dried up.

Either rewash the truck or do an ONR wash.
 
re wash, its not going to affect the wgps, then if you want you can add fuzion . In my opinion, its a waste of lsp to throw on fuzion over wgdg it seems to me it takes away the wet look more than anything else...
 
I'd err on the side of caution, and just rewash prior to the wax application.

That would be the safest route... re-wash and be ever so gentle as you do so. Hard to say without seeing the paint first hand but my personal preference would be to wipe it clean just to save time and going through the entire car wash process.

If you go with the spray detailer route simply use lots of microfiber towels so you not simply transferring removed contaminants to the next panel.

I define light dust as dust you can blow off with a strong breath...

What happens to dust when mixed with moisture, like dew that forms over night is it turns the light movable dust into a film.

You can wipe the film off using a spray detailer but washing would be more gentle as long as it's done using a premium quality wash mitt and extra care so as not to re-instill swirls and scratches in the process....

I don't have a real camera so using my iPhone 4 these are best I can take. Just from takin pictures I can see some small contaminates ie dust Mike, quick question. Why do I need to be gentle? Do I need to use less wash concentrate? And after I wash put on spritz?thanks for all the replays guys was my first time detailing my truck was great learning experience
 
Be patient, be safe. Let it get dirty then do a wash. Then slap on the Fuzion. Ideally yes, but there's no rule that says you must put on wax right after sealant cures.
 
Thanks Mike for the help, from what I read I'm going to wait till next week to wash my car. Yes sir, I did buff the car with WG. So for now all that needs to be done is a nice wash with my Megs. Mitt and Fuzion wax. From there on wash and quick spray. Will make sure ALL products that touch my truck are soft, gentle, and above all CLEAN.
