Re: Looking for a quick detailer
As Visitor states, Carpro ECH2O is pretty good. I use both the WW dilution and QD dilution. But as Supercharged states, watch for haze. That does not bother me much, though because I usually go over with a second dry soft microfiber to buff out. Leaves a nice shine. Griot's Garage Speed Shine is great as well.
As far as washing microfiber towels, I wash them with plain old Tide, and throw in the dryer on lowest heat setting and quickly remove as soon as they're dry. I've only been at this for about 5 months but my towels are fine. Still soft and clean. I might try a dedicated microfiber cleaner only if I see that what I'm doing is damaging my towels.

Re: Looking for a quick detailer
As most everyone stated above, go with a waterless wash concentrate. You get so much more for your money by doing so.
Carpro ECHO2o is good. This is another great one:
Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash, no rinse car wash
This also makes a good light spray wax / quick detailer once diluted:
McKee's 37 Rinse Free Wash & Wax, no rinse car wash, concentrated no rinse wash, quick detail spray, waterless wash

Re: Looking for a quick detailer
For a post wash booster/drying aid I've always been a big fan or Meguiars Ultimate Quick Wax. It looks amazing and I've applied it in all environments from cold/breezy to blazing sun and never had an issues. Right now I'm using McKee's 37 High Gloss Detail Spray for post-wash water spot touch ups on my coated cars and it works really well too. I've used Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer once and was seriously impressed by that product.
If you're after a traditional quick detail spray, The McKee's product I've mentioned works very well and I've also really like the simple Meguiars Quick Detailer that comes in the maroon bottle. They only seem to sell it here in the clay bar kit, but it can be found elsewhere in a variety of different sized bottles.

Re: Looking for a quick detailer
I personally don't see the use for dedicated detail sprays anymore....with the boom in waterless/rinseless washes I don't see the point in having a detail spray.... they're not as economical, they don't clean as well and are not as universal.
I personally have 3 different "sprays" that I use in my regimen;
-d114 for rinseless washes/clay lube
-Ultima for waterless washes when I need a quick touch up
-d156 for after rinseless washes and traditional washes
I get some form of protection on my cars after any type of wash, and to me it's a simple and economical way to do it cuz I can cross use those items for several different tasks like wheels, glass and interior

Re: Looking for a quick detailer
I treat CarPros ECH2O like a spray wax when I use it as a quick detailer. Spray, wipe, a quick removal for any liquids still on the panel then I go back to later when I see that it's hazed up. Makes it easier to get a nice finish.

Re: Looking for a quick detailer
I think I am going give the d156 a try except in the smaller size Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax which seems to be the same thing.
Thanks for all the suggestions, really appreciated.

I like Megs 34, Optimum Detail and Gloss Enhancer, and another one which I can't mention here on this site.

I found that ultimate quick wax to have the same staying power as CG V7 which is not impressive. If it is just for week to week wash update then it is ok.
