Quick wipe down of exterior
So what is the best way and some good products to use to wipe down the exterior of a car like say for example just before a photoshoot. I’ve been washing my car every time before a photoshoot……. What’s a quick fix?

No such thing. If you wipe down your car without a wash, you'll swirl and scratch your paint. Detail sprays are really best saved for touchup of bird bombs and use on clean paint (e.g., a car that's been sitting in a sealed garage, or a just-washed car at an auto show).

Optimum Instant Detailer, Poorboy's Spray and Wipe, etc. I've been using Poorboy's Spray and Gloss to wipe down my car each night this week and its been working well.

The only that that I'd MAYBE do is if the car had been washed recently, say the day before, then as long as there's no dirt on it and a fresh coat of your favorite LSP I'd dust it with a California car duster type duster. Even this isn't ideal, but every once in a while would be ok IMHO.

Being a dark-colored car I would take a very cautious approach (mine is BSM). Better safe than sorry - do a quick wash, Z6 and you are ready. But I wouldnt recommend spreading the dust/dirt around despite all the claims.

as far as a quick detailer, i use optimum no rinse diluted to what the instructions are, it works great.
griots makes a good quick detailer as well

So many great options out there. If you are looking to add some more shine then I would Optimum (OPT) Car Wax - 17 oz or the Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray with Polycharger - 16 oz. Both of those products will add more gloss to the surface and some protection! Let me know if you'd like any other recommendations.
