Recommendation for A QD

[slimnib]

I am looking for a QD that does not streak, cleans a bit and is really slick.

I have usde Meguiars (all of them), Zainos, and 425. All ok, nothing great.

Any recommendation for somthing that will not break the bank. Maybe event something that can be purchased by the Galln.

Thanks

These are both super slick; just add distilled water and they perform very well. Either will honestly make a few gallons of spray detailer.

Try Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer. Neither Optimum No Rinse nor Ultima Waterless Wash+ are considered quick detailers.

+1 on the Optimum No Rinse. Its greatbecause you can use it as the wash, QD, and clay lube. I love that stuff.

Anybody compared the performance of Ultima waterless and/or Optimum NR to Optimum Instant Detailer first-hand?

Obviously, the products are marketed more as rinseless/waterless wash concentrates but I can tell you they work extremely well as money saving detail spray formulations. I've never used opt instant detailer and I probably won't buy it because I'm happy with the other two mentioned products which are more concentrated.

Ditto on the ONR or DP Rinseless. You can mix them as wash, QD or clay lube. I use DP since I got it BOGO. I've been very happy with it - compares very favorably to the Adams QD a friend gave me to try.

Therein lies the debate...on one hand, products like ONR or DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss (which I prefer) used as quick detailers VS dedicated quick detailer products.

In my view, the rinseless wash products give you better cleaning and lubricating qualities (making them somewhat "safer" to use), and the dedicated quick detailer products produce a better gloss and shine...at least that has been my experience using both types.

I really like the DP Final Gloss and the DP Waterless Wash.

The waterless wash is available as a concentrate, so it is very economical and the Final gloss is awesome when drying the vehicle after a traditional wash.

To be fair I haven't tried the DP waterless yet. I gotta get to that!

If you are going to use your QD to remove light dust from the paint I would go with Ultima Waterless Wash Plus, Otimum Opti Clean or a similar type product. They will provide aditional protection against marring over a standard QD product.

I have a gallon of FK 425 to use up but when it is gone, I will go with one the products listed instead.
