whats your favorite quik detailer guy, mine is meg;s final inspection, i think its hard to beat the gloss, slickness, and shine it gives, very easy to work with. price is great.



whats yours and if you liked one better than final detail let me know?
 
Right now I seem to be addicted to Clear Pearl. Its a great product with minimal (if any) streaking and leaves a nice finish.



...smells good too... :D
 
So far, Final Inspection, gets my SG residue off all the time. Want to try Final Detail at some point too.

Totally! I love it when I just plan on washing....works great! CERTAINLY, it is not a protection-type product, tho.





My fav QDs:

Wizards Mist N Shine

Race Glaze Gloss Highlighter

Beadx (F113)





I feel like I have replied to a post or two like this before.....! ;)
 
Clearkote Quick Shine. I really like the way it looks on my cars. I want to try Poorboys QD+. Has any used this product?
 
I bought Meg's Final Detail last week and really like that alot. Puts a high gloss shine on my black Camry. Noticable more than Clearkote's Quickshine. FD is a lot more cost effective as well. ($14.63 a gal.)



Quickshine has a little more slickness and I can use on windows for slickness whereas FD I can't. But both are great to work with.

I've tried QD+ . . . it's really more of a "quick wax" than a quick detailer, IMO. I only ever really used it on a clean car.



It takes some fiddling to get the application right; I had the best luck by spraying a small amount on a damp MF, spraying the panel with a couple of shots of Spray & Wipe (although I think other QDs would work as well), then wiping it on. The spritz on the panel seems to aid application, as QD+ hazes almost immediately, and the extra moisture and lubrication gives you a little time to spread it around before it starts to flash.



I always applied it to the entire car before wiping it off. It removes very easily, but dusts very slightly if you apply it too thickly. The resulting shine is nice and very EX-like, and QD+ seems to freshen slickness and beading for a wash or two.



That said, I find myself using Z6, Spray & Wipe, and Quick Shine more often than QD+. Z6 in particular seems to refresh slickness and beading just as well (again, for a wash or two) for much less time invested. I'm not sorry I bought QD+, but probably won't pick it up again in the future.

Did you mean to say "if you liked one better than Final Inspection" instead? If you fav is Final Inspection, why do you care what people like better than something other than Final Inspection?



Anyway, if that's what you meant, then yes. I like Final Detail much better than Final Inspection. If you meant what you said, then no. There isn't a QD I've used that I like more than Final Detail.



As to online ordering, do a search here or a search on your favorite search engine. There are several online places. But your best bet is your local Meguiar's dealer as shipping on a 1-gallon bottle is pretty steep.

Thanks for the feedback Tort...Andrew

Dale, normally I'd agree with you..."cept on this one...I think its every bit as protective as any OTC QD....Waxes, polymers (Albeit water activated)....Goes side by side with Quickshine i say.....;)



Those who have never used it as a QD should give it a shot...$5.00 for 16oz isnt that bad either, or you can get twice that for about $2.50 more.....



My fav's go to:

Clearkote QS

EO Wax as-u-dry

and not necessarily in that order......
 
Clearkote's Quikshine

Meguiars Final Inspection

BeadX (even though I know the guy who runs the company is not too popular around here, his QD is excellent but even more expensive than Quikshine!).

Wax Shop's Slick Stuff



In that order...
