I would really recommend the Pinnacle Crystal Mist. And it could be bought by the gallon. Kind of steep price if bought in a 16oz bottle but it's "only" 80$ for a gallon which is 10$ per bottle. It's a great bargain when bought per gallon.
It does not have the greatest cleaning ability but works great on light dust and does not streak on dark paint and leaves a bright gloss and a slick finish.
My favorite detailer is the Meguiars Final Inspection when it comes to surface prep but if you are looking for something slick and glossy I think the Pinnacle Crystal Mist is as good as it could get.

k425 is under $30 a gallon. Pinnacle cannot be that better.
I never tried the K425. For sure Crystal Mist is not 2.5x better than the K425 but get a Crystal Mist free sample next time you order something so you could try it for free and let us know your impressions.
I use ONR as my primary clay lube and occasionally as a QD. It's not bad and definitely the best bang for the buck, but as stated previously, it's not as good as a dedicated QD product.
I do like Griot's Speed Shine, and at $34.99 for the combo of a gallon jug, a 35oz. bottle and a sprayer, it's a very good buy. It dries well without streaks, beads well and seems to add a bit of boost to the wax. The next QD on my list to try is Optimum. It's $19.99 for a gallon, once diluted and I've yet to be disappointed in any Optimum product.
If you are looking for strictly cleaning ability, than most of waterless washes at a higher concentration will work, but if you are looking for something extra, than a dedicated QD is the way to go. I've tried both ONR and Ultima Waterless Wash at QD strength and neither of them leaves behind the gloss and slickness that Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer does.
