Default mgrs. quick detailer question

Alright, I live in Mass and the weather is finally getting nicer. I has not snowed for about a week now. The roads are dry for the most part so I decided to wash my car 2 days ago. Still looks pretty clean, but there is that fine layer of dust and some water spots on it. Am I able to use the quick detailer w/ a micro-fiber towel in this situation or would that damage the paint? For some reason it just doesn't seem natural/feel right.

BTW, i did do a search on this and came up with nadda.

Thats what thoes quick detailers are used for ... Keeping the car clean inbetween car washes! Just make sure you do small areas at a time and don't rub too hard over the dirt!

Cool, thanks!
I just did a google search and found this, just thought i would share, should have done that first huh???

As before, rinse your microfiber towel thoroughly and wring out as much water as possible. Fold the towel in half, then in half again. Starting at the top, wipe down your car, wiping in a single direction only. As the surface of the towel gets soiled, flip it to a clean side. When all sides of the towel are dirty, rinse it out in the bucket, wring and keep wiping. Don’t forget the windows.

When the loose dirt is gone, rinse the towel again, wring out all excess water, refold, and spray the towel with a few shots of detailing spray. Wipe the car down with the detailing spray, giving a couple of shots into the towel for each panel. Buff immediately with a clean, dry towel. I recommend a second microfiber detailing towel. Spraying the towel instead of the car will ensure better distribution and will use less product.
