i washed my car a few days ago, was too tired and not feeling to well to wax it, is it okay to wax it after a few days? It's been garaged... haven't taken it out at all...

if it's been garaged i'd say it would be okay...

Personally, I would quick detail it to get the top layer of dust/whatever microdirts off of the car. Then, that's when I would wax it.

i would only wax it right after a wash

too much dust can build up in a day

will any quick detailer work? i dont have the NXT one since thats what i use to wax my car with...

whats the purpose of a quick detailer? is it simply a spray on wax? if i apply wax on top of the quick detailer, would it not hold?

Negative nyckid. The purpose of a quick detailer is basically what it's named after. It cleans and aids in protection/shine. Nothing fancy shmancy about it.. but it is not however, a spray on wax. It's just a.. how do I put it.. I guess you can see it like a spray on lubricant for your car, it's not a wax though.

You would quick detail/wipe down. After that, then you would wax.. not necessarily spray the quick detail.. then wax on top of the unwiped quick detailer.. then wipe off lol.

if it has literally been garaged the whole time.. then I don't see the harm in it. Inless however, your garage was open for a long period of time. Or the car is actually too dusty to even wipe it down, then save the wax for another day after a wash.

I wouldn't do it. It's not worth the possible damage that could be done when preventable with a quick wash. If it is as clean as you say, then the wash shouldn't take long at all. Better safe than sorry!!!!!!!
