I use Show Off, Crytal Mist, HGAS, Acrylic Glos as quick detailers. I've also tried Meg's Quick Wax, and TW's Express Wax among other stuff I don't remember.



My favorite for cleaning properties, is Show Off, among the ones I have.



But I'm looking for the best QD strictly for cleaning properties. I guess that means one with the highest lubricity for minimizing micro marring. I could care less about how much it shines or looks, or it's at the most secondary.



Any suggestions?



I'm thinking of making an Optimum No Rinse Wash/water dilution. But I'm open to any ready made QD's that you've had excellent cleaning results with.
 
In my limited experience my choice would be Poorboys Spray and Wipe. I have used both QEW and the Optimum No Rinse in a QD type application and both seem to work but I prefer the Spray & Wipe. Downside of course is that the Spray & Wipe is a little more expensive.
 
If you want a true QD that will add shine and slickness, try Clearkote's Quikshine. It works well on even very dusty surfaces and light rain spots.
 
I'll be sure to try the PB and CK stuff. Where do you guys buy the CG Pro Detailer?



Thanks for the suggestions.

16oz. bottles at Danase.com (remember the forum discount too) and gallons at chemical-guys.com (without the hyphen). Danase will also be carrying gallons soon.
 
I would say Spray & Wipe as well but I just used Zaino Z-6 and it was very effective in removing some light tree sap from my hood. Of course, I followed with Z-8 for some protection. :)

My thoughts exactly when it comes to a good cleaning QD. S&W and Z6 get my vote.
 
I use QEW and S&G together all the time, approximately 1 part QEW : 1 part S&G : 8 parts water. It's extremely handy during winter to lubricate/loosen grime and salt before wiping if off with a QEW wash.
 
As far as cleaning properties ONLY:



1) Finish Kare 146

2) One grand show off



Poorboys spray and wipe has better cleaning properties that those 2, but I don't consider it a true QD as it leaves no protection. The chemical guys pro detailer is supposed to be very close to S&W in cleaning properties. I also assume detailers pride waterless wash works as good as S&W.



waterless wash (more cleaning, no protection): S&W, pro detailer, DP waterless wash.

Quick detailer (protection, better shine): FK #146, one grand show off.

SnW will leave a nice gloss, but is more known for a cleaner. SnG has a very good gloss but not as much cleaning effect.
