Its been a while since my last visit but i got to be honest i havent been detailing my cars all that often of late.. motorcycles either.

I try to keep things neat though and often throw a coat or two on, and a quick detailer.

One product that has always been a staple in my arsenal though.. is quickshine. anything plastic, acrylic, lexan.

It extends beyond my car care regiment and after killing off my last few drops from a quart bottle i purchased years ago i stepped up and bought a gallon from the source themselves.

Customer service was great although i am a bit unclear about how the concentrated formula works.. i was told i would be getting a gallon jug mostly empty that i fill the rest of the way with water.. for shipping purposes i dont understand why the concentrate wouldent be shipped in a smaller bottle and i source my own gallon jug or ration out into smaller bottles to proper proportions accordingly.

has anyone ordered gallons before? how much concentrate can i expect?

in any event i am eagerly anticipating my shipment now.. i know the labels and logos have changed i really hope the formula is the same.

In case this product has fallen by the wayside lately, its really a must try for instrument panel displays, radio and hvac face, rearview mirrors, headlights, make/model badges the list goes on..

I'll keep you all posted when my shipments in :)
 
I have been using Quickshine for years. I purchased a gallon and it came concentrated as well. I think I have about half a gallon left. I agree that it's fantastic for plastic and lexan. Its what I primarily use to wipe down my plasma TV screens, Iphones, and Ipad. I think that FK425 had a slight edge as a QD when using it on paint.
 
Excellent detail spray and glass cleaner. When you get the gallon jug, it only has maybe 8 oz of product in it, should be a very solid white. Just fill to the line near the cap with water (you can use distilled water if you want) and that's it.
 
Thanks,

Took delivery yesterday, it was more like 30oz actually.. Mostly white. Convenient line marked to fill with water for correct proportions.

So far i have only been able to QD my time pieces and LCD Monitors (for which QuickShine is unsurpassed i assure) but will try to get the muscle car up to snuff before putting away for the season and snag some fresh shots.

Thanks for the comment Vega, i wonder how many of us are around after our days wandering the forest.

Coincidentally, Vega powder fuels me every (athletic) season but winter.. I think fruitcake and gingerbread houses take on the responsibility for the short cold months :)

Cheers, Happy Thanksgiving!

I got a gallon (concentrate) based on some rave reviews here, but was underwhelmed. Also, it wasn't 100% Accumulator-proof as I once got some streaking/etc. on a black vehicle (that was wearing Collinite at the time, in case that matters).

Eh, the more I use IUDJ, the less I see a use/need for most of my regular QDs, including FK425. Gave away a gallon of GG SpeedShine the other day as it would've gone bad/separated before I got around to using it.

BUT...I never tried using QwikShine (oh how I hate keeping track of those cutsie spellings!) on monitors though. That might've been one of those perfect product/use combos (like Fast Finish on exterior black trim).
