Need QD For Newbie (Not Me!) Final Inspection? S+W?

Player Appreciate!
My brother has decided to get serious with his detialing now that he has a new truck... unfortunately he picked the wrong colour for a detailing newbie, black!

I'm going to try and show him the noble path that takes us all to the promised land... but he asked about a QD spray.

Not sure if he's going to go the UPP or S100 Wax route as his LSP yet... but I am wondering what do you guys recommend as QD for him. I was looking at either Meg's Final Inspection (34) or S+W.

I know Final Inspection has no alcohol and is "bodyshop safe"... but does it contain any oils/fillers or is it just a "pure" cleaning product like S+W?

And onto S+W... is there any alcohol in them that would make them less than sealant-friendly?

I await your wise words.
 
Poorboy's S&W
Poorboy's S&G
Adam's Detail Spray
Eagle One Wet Wipe & Shine
Victoria Wax Quick Detailer


Those are a few of my favorites.
 
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think Meg's Last Touch would be a good QD for use with a sealant. It will probably look great, but if he decides to apply more sealant, it might affect the bonding.
The Final Inspection would probably work with the sealant, but S&W is, IMO, even better than using any QD. With a QD, you need to not use it on anything but a mildly soiled vehicle. With S&W, you can use it on about anything but mud.

How I typically approach the QD question is dependant on my latest LSP on the car... I know that most of these are not true QD's, but there has been such an evolution lately with waxes and sealants becoming more and more like QDs...

* QW+ or Crystal Mist as a QD/booster wax for Carnauba LSP's
* HGAS, WG Sealant Spritz or UPPS as a booster QD for Sealant LSP's
* or, for the most versatility either S&G or S&W as 'all-purpose' QD's
 
I have used the Meg's Final Inspection and personally i think it is just and average QD. I would much rather use some S&W and my favorite is Adams Detail Spray. Also known as http://chemicalguys.com/Merchant2/m...PCWCCP&Product_Code=WAC_102&Category_Code=QDS

I know it loooks a little differant but it is the exact same stuff. I buy all my Adams products from them way less money.

Also since Steve sent me a sample of the S&G i have really started to like it. But i will not stop using the CG.

The roofer in this thread is Poorboy's S&W. IT COVERS IT ALL!

Adam's, CG, and Zaino Z6 are good. Yet I use the S&W everyday. It will not let you down.
 
I really like S&W too. I think it's a great product for a newbie with a black car. Just make sure that you explain the proper use.
 
I bought mother's QD today to try out. I dont need it but it was mention that it smells like cinnamon,and it does. It smeels soo Good..

I would not recommend QD on black, unless it's after a wash. In that case, I would pick Finish Kare #425 or Poorboys Spray & Gloss. Both work well on paint & glass.
