    Alternatives to Meguiars QID

    I've been using Meguiars QID detailer for years and I am getting tired of the slight smell it gives off. I know Meguiars had a bad run of it which produced a really strong ammonia smell. but they claim their gallons weren't affected. Anyways I'm looking for an alternative to use. My interiors never are really dirty, I just use it for quick wipe downs. What else would you guys compare to it? I want something that leaves behind no shine.

    McKee’s 37 FAST Interior Detailer is the closest product to Meguiar's QID. It's quite frankly the best alternative you can find on the market right now.

    Here's my review on the McKee's 37 Fast Interior Detailer:

    Try Meguiars Natural Shine....matte finish, very faint clean smell. Perfect for interiors that are not really dirty

    D156-x-press wax on guages, wood trim, plastics

    D114 (or ONR) and opti-clean also work well.

    I've bought two gallons of Meguiars D149 quick interior detailer about a year about and they both smelled like rancid vinegar. I had a customer that came to pick his car up and the smell was so gross he had decided to go back home and pick it up a few hours later. My biggest waste of money and most embarrassing situation since I started detailing. I thought it would smell similar to the consumer version (love that smell) but when I reached out to Meguiars they said that it was just the way the product smells.

    Yea the gallon definitely has a horrid smell. I sprayed it in my gf's car on sunday and it still smells like it today.

    Definitely a good rinseless wash solution like ONR or anything else like it. I just wipe down the interior at the rinseless dilution with a damp mf towel then give it a quick buff if needed.

    Ill look into rainless wash solutions. It looks like Megs doesn't make D114 anymore, am I correct?

    I don't know how much of this stuff you use, but the OTC version can be had out there in the world for a reasonable price.

    It depends, there are 8 cars I can do fairly often when it gets warm out. I just wish the gallon had a better smell. If I can get a rinse less solution and dilute ir quite a bit, I am sure that will be much
