Default Product Review: Ardex Spot Delivery

Taken from ardexlabs.com:

4288 SPOT DELIVERY: New Car and Auction Day Prep: This is for showroom cars. Just spray and wipe to remove finger marks and enhance the beautiful finish of brand new cars in the showroom. Leaves no residue, reduces dust problems, removes wax residue from polishing operations. Auction day quick shine, dry wash. Contains special optical brighteners. Smells great too!

Taken from bottle label:
*dry wash
*finish brightener
A professional product used to brighten the finish between waxing. Can be used as a dry wash if the surface is not too dirty or gritty. Spot Delivery is for showcars like yours. (Silicone Free).

Directions: Spray lightly onto one section at a time including the glass. Wipe immediately with a very soft, clean, folded towel. Refold the towel often to expose a clean, dry surface to avoid rubbing gritty dirt into the finish.

16 fl. oz. size.

I don't remember what I paid for this, but I did pick it up from them directly.

My description:
Liquid is pink in color, but looked purple when sprayed on my car. I have dark paint of course.

Smells nice, but seemed a bit watery compared to other QD's I have used before.

Worked ok for me, but nothing I would go back for on a regular basis.

More than likely, I will just use this on my wheels, since I have 5 other QD's in my cabinet besides this one.


It is better than Meg's OTC QD in the maroon bottle.

I give it 5 out of 10.

Never tried this product but started using Meg's QD when I bought my S. Picked up a Mothers clay bar kit that includes the QD, and I haven't looked back as far as QDers.

I wonder how the 4288 would be head to head with the Mothers

I found that a couple of the QD's I ordered online are better than the ones available OTC.

Finish kare makes a good QD with a pleasant smell. Meguiars professional line QD is what I use the most (only sold in gallons for the most part). I also have one from gliptone I have to try out still. I have 2 other ones from meg's as well. the new one, and one from the mirror glaze line.
