looking for product recommendation

Hi

I wanted to ask everyone's opinion; what would be a good product to use for clay lube as well as for wiping down a car between washes, that comes in a gallon container? I currently am using Meg's quik detailer but it is a small bottle and I am going through a 16 oz. bottle in no time flat. At $5.00+ a bottle that is adding up on me, that is why I am interested in something that works as well and comes in larger sizes.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I use FK 425 that is cut 50% with distilled h20. It comes in gallon size. You could also go with DP Final Gloss which is also available in the gallon.

DP 4-in-1 or ONR. I use ONR, but would like to try some 4-in1. ONR can be used as QD, clay lube, and of course, no-rinse wash.

I use the 4n1 and would like to try the ONR. Always mix with distilled H2O. :righton:

:iagree: distilled water or deionized water.

I also vote for ONR. Recently discovered that product and was really amazed by it.

DP 4 in 1=Clay lube or QD depending on dilution ratios.

Is soft water fine? (salt-filtered in the house)

Or reverse osmosis filtered water?

Or is distilled still the best choice?

I wouldn't use the tap. Since you're only making a bottle or so at a time, just pick up a bottle of water at the grocery store. Most bottled water is either distilled or reverse osmosis filtered.
