"The Glosser" - quick detailing wipe review
Well I came across The Glosser microfiber quick detailing wipes and they work great.
I saw them on various websites and the reviews were really good so I decided to get em.

I usually end up with light swirls after I dry my car with whatever microfiber towel I use.
This is prob due to the fact there is very little shade & no hose at my apt
so I have limited time with the 2 buckets of water I use and don't get the thorough cleaning I would like.
It's laborious but I enjoy cleaning my own car and end up using the Meguires Quick Detail spray anyway.
I dust my car off daily with the California Duster but after a week there is a fine build up on the paint (to the touch).
It's still glossy but not like after a good wash.
It had been a week since I washed my car so I decided to see what these wipes were all about.
As directed I made sure there was no excess dirt on the car (did my daily dusting) and then wiped it down with "The Glosser" wipes using long straight strokes making sure not to use excessive pressure and folding the towel frequently.
Kinda like u would if you were drying the car.
I found there was no streaking and most importantly it did not leave any swirls in the paint.
I even took it outside in the sun looking at diff angles trying to find swirls but couldn't.![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
It felt like I had quick detailed my car like I usually do after most washes, but it took under 10 min.![BOUNCE](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/bounce.gif)
The moist towels lift the mild dust/dirt off the car as they wax it.
They're really easy to use and don't bunch up at all.
You get 5 thick 13"x25" towelettes for around $7.
For a quick detail these are awesome, especially if you live at a place where weekly washing is a PITA.![Big Grin](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I know u guys are going to want to see pics but all I have right now are crappy phone pics, sorry doesn't really do it justice.

BTW, if anyone knows of any similar products that work just as well feel free to add to the thread.

If your talking about swirls in the clear coat, no I've never had that problem with the Duster.
The Duster will take off the dust and light dirt but if there's some kind of gunk on the paint the Duster will add to it.
I can see it scratching the paint if you were to apply undue pressure when using it.

Just some friendly input from another driver:
Stop daily dusting. It's asking for micro-marring.
Have you ever heard of Optimum No Rinse? I think this would better suit your situation instead of using the glosser, but just my 2c. Try to limit stroke length to a 8-12" if you use the glosser, chances are in going the length of whole panel and not pre-washing you will pick up something and it will cause a micro-scratch. It's happened to me so I have change my regimen (this was with removing wax, though).
