    Does Anyone Still Use Detail Sprays?

    I have a few detail sprays but I find myself not reaching for those if I have a quick wipe down to do between washes.
    With the waterless wash products now available, and the ability to get a detailer level concentration, it seems like the waterless wash has more lubricity and less chance of scratching during these quick touch ups. Maybe the detail sprays have a little more gloss built in.

    Thoughts? What do you use for the quick touch ups between washes?

    I really don't use them since RW/WW's can be made to do what the old detailer sprays once didDoes Anyone Still Use Detail Sprays?

    Ditto here. Ech2O has replaced QD's for the most part. Since most come concentrated and are diluted to your preference they are far more economical than QD's.

    I have to admit I did pick up some Elixr just to see what it was like. It performs just like Ech2O, but does provide a bit more gloss. I really use it more for entertainment than a real need since I already have a good WW in the cabinet.

    If I had to stick to just one product, I'd happily go with a WW and call it a day.

    I have a bunch still left over that I’m probably never going to get rid of so I use them when I can
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    If you have that much leftover maybe use them for door jams, wheels after their cleaned and maybe exhaust tips and engine bays. There's always a use for somethingDoes Anyone Still Use Detail Sprays?

    Agree with what others have posted here, I use RW/WW sprays now, but still have several leftovers. One I still use after a wash is Kenotech Showroom Shine.

    That is my favorite quick detail spray BY FAR! It attracts lest dust than any QD I have ever used. The Kenotek even removes tree sap mist while providing a nice slick and glossy surface. It is almost like using an LSP it is so good. Has this product been discontinued? It is getting more and more difficult to find.

    I'm not sure if still available. You are correct, I just checked the Autogeek store and they don't have it.

    Of the traditional QDs to be used on a non-coated car Kenoteck is my favorite as well. I noticed it isn't sold at the PBMG stores, too. I hope it isn't discontinued!
