Detail Spary

Have been through any detail sprays and am looking for a final product to go with or a long time (if not forever).. I have used meq's ultimate quik detail spray and that was my favorite for six months but I got really tired of all the streaking even though i absolutely "LOVE" the final results and the intense tiny beading on my customers cars, even though they do not last a long time

found another product that was/is way over priced but am more than willing to pay the price for this product because it leaves the finish so damn shiny. the smell is amazing and it works so well to wipe down the car after washing with steam.

looking for product that wipes streak free, leaves intensely shiny finish. at this point I dont know if I want it to be silicon free or not but definately like the fact that the last detail spray (that i am using right now) allows me to do the trim as well.

any input would be greatly appreciated

ps, right now looking to try out P&S non-silicon paint gloss.

 

I've started to use the Adams detail spray and I like it a lot

 

Prima Hydro - one of the very best QD/Spray Waxes out there IMO. It's super easy to apply. Will not streak. Smells amazing. Offers great shine, gloss and durability. One of the only spray waxes out there I know of that really does help dry after washing while leaving behind some very good protection.

 

FK 425 and CG Pro Detailer.

 

I was thinking of going with "Extreme Slick Synthetic -Acrylic Polymer Detailer (Anti-Static) (1 Gal)". what attracts me to it is that it is suppose to finish really shiny and slick like the stuff I am using now except it is only a quarter of the price. dont care much for the color but will have to buy a gallon and play around with it to find out.

I like the depth and color to prima products but remember it has always being a little streaking depending on the temerpature.

never used adam's detail spray but am making a list of what you guys post and will make sure to bu a sample of each of them and do a side by side.

so far, the ease of use of the detail spray I have and the shiny results will make or break me when i open shop. waxes and sealannts are pretty easy to deal with.

do ou guys think you can write a quick reason why you chose these products?

example:

prima - color and durability

done

"CG Pro Detailer" looks the most promising so far, looks like it has the exact same qualites as my current detail spray and has protection

DG 521 is my fav....it;s like DG 921 but on steroids, lol. And it smells like coconut.

 

Duragloss 951, Aquawax

 

godoman -

I tried the C/G Hybrid V7 on my cars and a few Clients that just wanted a wash, interior, job, and it really amps up the shine, especially if the paint is already in good shape. It doesnt streak on me even in the sun, and goes on easily and comes off the same. Its been good for me. I also used Blackfire's QD for a long time and it worked good too.. Tried the Optimum QD and it basically sucked for me.

Not sure where you are here in WA., but I am right off of Exit-10 on the 405, and head towards Lake Washington about 1 block and turn left into Newport Shores. Would be glad to give you some Hybrid V7 to try out if you are ever heading this direction; give me a shout, ok ? Bring a spray bottle and I will put some in it for you.

Cant remember the pricing at C/G's website, but its there and maybe others resell it.

Ardex Hydrogloss. Makes water move away. A little goes far. No strong odor.

Meg's Final Inspection. Just great all-around.

Smartwax Smart Detailer. Nice! Smells like Juicyfruit gum too :O

 

I am going to try these detail sprays as all of them descibed as being steak free and very shiny:

prima slick
prima hydro
cg P40 Detailer
cg Extreme Slick Synthetic -Acrylic Polymer Detailer
P&S non silicon paint gloss quick detailer

will buy just the samples and see which works best on black paint. just need the most shinniest detail spray that dries streak free, I find that and I have a product.

thanks for the heads up everyone. be up reading alot of online reviews and descriptions of all of them

Just to clarify - isn't Final Inspection used before application of LSP; for removal of polishing residue? This being the case it would add no gloss, nor would it be a recommended product as a maintenance detail spray.

Have you had good luck with it for maintenance?

 

I personally hate final inspection....gummy and streaky. use it only for clay barring.

 

I have long been against silicon on a car no matter what but somebody recently mentioned to me that for the best (shinniest) results that dry streakless, I might want to consider silicon based quick detail sprays.

now my major concern here is the rubber on the car and any trim. car looks great when we are done but it goes home with the customer and sits in the elements for a few weeks and next thing you know there is wipe snail trails all over the plastic trim. customer will think that the wax is melting off of the car but really it is just the silicon showing.

follow? any input/feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. remember, i am looking for shinniest with a quick spray and wipe result. dont want guys buffing and buffing and buffing to get the detail streaks out like when you use meg's ultimate quik detail spray, that stuff beads great and has great color but streaks too much.

thanks

Reload A & C versions
CG Pro detailer
CG synthetic detailer
V7
Zaino spray detailer
Opti-clean for actually removing dust etc. (technically a detail spray)

on my list is Prima Hydro....... eventually

I think it depends on the context of what you are using the product, after wash wipe downs, cleaning door jam smudgest etc,

 

this is exactly what I will be doing.

washing the car/cars in my shop. after washed I want detail spray to be used to quickly making the paint flawless and pop like it was just waxed. I had these great results the first time with meg's ultimate quik detail spray but I found that I was still buffing way way too much. then I hit up GI's detail spray and was absolutely blown away at how much the car pops, does not matter if dark paint or white car. I love that it dries streakless. it is amazing. the stuff is very oily and I use very very thick mf towels that I buy off of chemical guys and detailersdomain.com. all cars get a freshly cleaned towel.

it is after the car is washed and then detail sprayed down and looking like it is waxed (detail spray needs to be that shinny) I want to then either use a spray wax on top of it to add protection and increase the shine or for extra will be sealing the car using menz power lock. the GI detail spray and power lock on top is an amazing combo. my favorite for sure.

so there is that is what I am going for

thanks

godoman

ps, as business picks up and I train new hires, I will eventualy offer cutting, polishing and high end waxes as that is my true passion and I hope one day to be a real professional at this.

 

No, Final Inspection is a QD....it's not the same as Menz Top Inspection.
