I recently decided to try out QD+ since I’ve tried out the rest of the Poorboys line-up (and like it a lot). I haven’t heard much about QD+, so my expectations were set accordingly.
When it arrived I expected it to work similar to Clear Perls, Adam’s Detail Spray, etc.
Another way said…. spray on, wipe off, no streaking, slick feeling/clean surface, extend the protection on your finish.
Step1 - On my first attempt, I shook up my bottle, adjusted the spray nozzle, and misted a panel. QD+ came out in a thick blast, kind of like a shotgun pattern, dried quickly, and smeared a bit when I wiped it off. As a WO/WO product, this wasn’t going to be the answer.
Step 2 – Correspondence to Steve for advice, since he knows his products best.
Step 3 – Apply via PC, using a light polishing pad, speed set to 4. It takes 20-30 minutes to apply and remove QD+ to my Tahoe (all surfaces), and it produces a slick surface, that so far has seen 3 weeks of solid protection. I think you could actually use QD+ as a stand alone topper (especially so during the summer). The way it cleans and protects reminds me a lot of PwC, but takes even less time to apply/remove.
QD+ is typical Poorboys packaging. 16oz bottle, spray trigger, standard black/white label with easy to follow instructions. The product separates if left standing, so you need to shake it well before stating out.
Last night I did a quick detail (no pun intended) on a Jeep Wrangler that sits out 24 x 7, and basically hasn’t seen any protection on the paint since it was new 2 years ago. I washed, clayed, dressed the tires/trim, and buzzed on a coat of QD+ in a little over 90 minutes. The owner couldn’t believe the results achieved that quick.
Here are a few other things that I’ve noticed:
-If you have a new car, want to save some time and not compromise on quality, this is a great product to consider.
-Works great on slightly oxidized (single stage) or dull paint.
-Does not remove aged water spots but works well on fresh ones (if that makes any sense).
-It retains it’s slickness after a few washes.
-It has a nice clear/reflective look.
-Best applied via a foam hand applicator or PC. Does not work well as a spray on, wipe off product.
-Great for cleaning/dressing jams.
-Does not stain.
-If you apply a uniform, thin coat it wipes off like hot butter –leaving a streak free finish.
-I’ve applied it to 2 SUV’s, and 3 cars, and still have ½ a bottle left. A little goes a long way.
-Dries quick (at least it does in the summer!!!)
-It works very well with Spray and Gloss, for those after the insane/clear shine. (apply, let dry, mist on S&G, and wipe off). I prefer to do a panel at a time, vs. the entire vehicle then wiping down.
-Does not remove/hide defects.
-Very good cleaning properties. It will take care of fresh tar, and other light contaminates on your paint.
-Retains slickness after you drive through the rain for a day or two (In the NE, many products quickly lose their slickness properties after you drive through a day of rain).
I think QD+ offers excellent cleaning properties, and a decent level of protection.
