However it's labelled as a Quick Detailer, it's actually more of a spay wax, cause it contains a lot of "nuba". But as you can wax you car in about 10 - 15 minutes, it's a quick product...
As this is a real "nuba", it really doesn't act like one. You will get beading on lighter rain, but more importantly ( to me anyway) is sheeting.
Me, I always prefer sheeting over beading because 1) beading is often wrongly seen as protection and 2) Less chance on waterspots which can be quit big if you're at work, it has rained and then the sun comes out. Few hours later you arrive at your car and :rant:
So I tested the Quickie on the bonnet of my car and have put it against Reload; known as a easy spray sealant with good sheeting; on the vertical panels.
Application: Very easy, 3 sprays for half the bonnet were enough, and gently spread with an mf towel. Let it haze ( although this was hardly visible and almost unnessacery) and buff off / go over it once more.
It wipes on and off like a real QD. A pleasure to work with.
Beading / sheeting: as mentioned before, at light rain you get some fairly nice tight beads like you'd expect from a "nuba" ( see pics)
Sheeting; WOW, IMO better then reload. Water just sheets of the car like crazy, at every turn you take and at very low speeds, which is also better then reload.
VS Reload: On the vertical panels, the water just sheets off where they are coated with Quickie untill completely dry; where reload still gives beading on the vertical panels, giving you more chance on waterspots. So Ideal for summer time: less chance on waterspots. Ideal for winter: no water that can freeze your doors shut
Protection: So far 1 month going very strong, no visible signs of reduces sheeting / protection seen so far...
Conclusion: For someone who wants decent protection, the sheeting from a sealant, but the looks of a real "nuba" for a very decent price, the Quickie is briliant in my opinion

Appologies for the dirty car, but this was a few days after application, after going through a heavy and dirty rain shower.
