So you guys just spray on the area that needs to be quick detailed and wipe it off with the microfiber towel? Would it damage the clear coat in anyway if there is dust/debri on the surface that needs to be quick detailed?

It shouldnt unless its really gritty, thats why you use a microfiber and not like a terry cloth or shop towel. naturally u will get swirl marks if you go long times in between details and just keep using the spray. our paint is REALLY soft. this is just for in between regular washes/details. If you have a good coat of wax on there u wont get swirl marks in your paint

I walk out into the garage this morning with the dogs, my wife took my crv today to give it a run. I look over her car which I just cleaned and put a coat of Pinnacle on Sunday, I see thick purple bird shit on the roof and side pillars, the side pillar came off easy. The roof was a little more stubborn, after that I realized the paint was already etched in one day of 90 degree heat. So out comes my hand buffer, orange pad and Menzerna polish, 6 attempts and it is finally gone, apply a new coat of Wolfgang and she is shining again. I hate birds.

My worstcar paint nightmare was two days ago...the crows came to roost and shat loads over the car. Quick microfiber wipe and then a redetail the next day. Several weeks ago I had a small drop that I failed to notice and in 24 hours it burned a bit into the clear.
