    What's your favorite QD over a sealant?

    What's your favorite QD over a carnauba?

    I'm looking for a new one. I'll always use Z-8, but on bulk and for interim work, I need a new one. I had FK1 #425 and Chemical Guys Pro-Detailer.

    Any suggestions?

    I guess I hit the big ones?

    Ok, another 4 gallons of 425 it is...I lost 3 gallons to freezing over this winter.

    FK 425 for the win. You really can't beat it for the price.

    Nope, $100 + shipping and it lasts me over a year.

    Z-8 has its purpose as does Z-6. Pro-Detailer is more of a waterless wash to me, it leaves a lot of product on the surface.

    Have you tried the new Optimum QID? Its pretty comparable to 425. For the price its pretty good. $19.00 for a gallon. I still think 425 has it slightly beat for slickness.

    That's the new one? Nope.
    $19 is priced right.

    Have you tried CK Quikshine and Prima Slick? If not, IME both are great for both sealant and carnauba surface.

    CK, Calvin Klein?

    Is Prima a CG re-label?

    I like CG Extreme Slick Synthetic, but I tried CG Pro-Detailer this weekend and it BEATS it by miles! Getting a gallon of it when I run out of the Extreme Slick...

    FK 425 for me. ClearKote Quikshine is also very nice!

    FK425 is what I have used (and still have) although now I have some ONR mixed up in QD strength, I reach for it all the time..including on windows. I love it on my glasses!

    To me its Clearkote Quickshine and Optimum's new Instant Detailer as the best two over carnubas or sealants. I have 425 and like both of these better than 425.

    I've been using FK-425 for a bit now but I also want to try Prima Slick. I have a couple of their other products and I really like them so I'll probably like their QD as well.

    I have Prima Slick, I like it. Nice smell, easy application, and shines nice. Although, I want to try out my Swissvax Quick Finish, and also want to purchase Field Glaze.

    How are the "anti-static" properties with 425? I wasn't too impressed when I used it because there didn't seem to be a difference in reducing static.

    I've stuck with CK Quikshine and am getting some more Adams QD soon as IME they've been as slick as FK425. I guess I'll QD my TV in 3 sections and observe the differences.
