OMG I can just imagine how many swirls and scratches will be added to your finish if you use these. Imagine not rinsing down your car from all the dirt and grime, and simply using a damp cloth and rubbing in all this crap into your paint...holy shit steer clear of this crappy product. Stick with the conventional way of washing, with a clean wash mitt, bucket and good car wash soap. Then use a Chamois of water blade to dry. I would prefer to let my car get ridiculously dirty, then pulling out the pressure washer and bucket to clean the car, as opposed to maintaining the way it looks with these wipes...don't even bother wasting your money, it will do more harm then good in the long run.

There was no way in hell I would try these things, I just couldn't imagine them marketing it. Makes me think of a giant wet-nap.

All it takes is just ONE hard object (a grain of sand, pollen, a dead knat, anything....) to put a nice scratch in the finish... Products like wipes and Meguiar’s QD always make me cringe. I saw some dude with a lightning hope out of his truck in a mall parking lot, and start using the QD all over the truck. I felt really bad for that guy because I'm sure he's on some lightning board screaming about swirls.

I would NEVER EVER EVER use that shit on my car EVER. I don't care how dirty my car was. It's better to not wash your car for an entire year than use that shit.
