I use Meg's quick/speed detailer to get rid of bird poo or similar marks or splashes, just to get rid of them quickly instead of allowing them to harden and eat the surface. I always carry some in the car.

I don't use it as a show 'n shine aid.

so more of a spot cleaning agent then?

winrya:
Its best use is as a drying aid.  Since this is where damage can easily be caused it acts as a lube to make the wipe down process as smooth and quick as possible.  It also seems to add a little something to the finish.  It's also useful for wiping down watermarks which appear (wing mirrors :jumping:) after washing.

I cant help feel using it as a means to wipe dust away just means you are rubbing dirty water across the paint scratching it.  

Its great for removing smears after waxing and finger prints if anyone is so rude.

And, if like me you have a shiny samsung lcd, it is superb for removing dust :laugh:

VC:
cheers winrya, so does this stuff go on before or after waxing?

waterspots arent really an issue for me as the water where i live is crazy soft

On some of the detailing threads I have seen they will spray the just washed wet car as I guess it breaks down the surface tension and makes drying easier.

....I was just surprised/confused to learn that such products are used for anything other than a quick spot cleaner.  :happy2:

I use it to take off wax, makes it soooo much easier.
