    I'm looking to try a new detail spray mainly for final wipe downs, not clay lube since I use ONR. I've tried all the OTC stuff and a few others (Wolfgang and DP) and heard good things about both of these. I would like to hear some opinions on the two, or any other suggestions. Thanks! :mounty:

    FK-425 or Optimum OID or Duragloss FC&S.

    You cant go wrong with FK425.
    There's a reason they sell so many gallons of that stuff.

    Used both, personally I think both have their good and bad.

    Adams is easy to use, good shine

    FK is super slick, can get a bit streaky if the engine has been on or car is out in sun but leaves a great finish and the anti static make it a winner for me

    When doing a wipedown after a wash I use the 425 because it keeps the car dust free a little longer than Z6 or something like that.

    Both good products IMHO.

    FK 425 is one of the easiest quick detailers on the market. It leaves a great finish and although I was skeptical initially, does slightly decrease the amount of dust collected after driving. I highly recommend it; I have tried many QDs and this is one that I keep coming back to.

    OID is amazing stuff. and one 32 oz bottle makes 1 gallon of detail spray. the stuff smells great and leaves the surface feeling really slick. and the gloss is outstanding.

    although, sometimes ive found that it can get a little hazy when used on a hot surface and not totally wiped off, but it nothing that a second wipe or two cant fix

    Ive really been wanting to try out the adams detail spray, but i have so many detail sprays already that I dont really have any reason to.

    If Fk425, then why not DG aquawax?

    If you're going to use it after a wash, I think a spray wax with carnauba inside would produce better protection...

    FK425 gets my vote. I do like Adams but I feel FK has a slight edge in slickness and gloss.

    both are great products, 425 has antistatic properties, but Adam's has a better scent to it.
