I'll add my favourites as well

Toughseal
Driven to Perfection (proudly made in san clemente USA) and is unique
Quick spray concentrate is his best product.
Do your glass, metals, paint, plastics, hard rubber, urethane and other composites (injected resin) with one product.

been using it by rotary polisher to clean, enhance gloss and protect paint for six months on my daily driver ever since 2006.

All I do is wash, clay and then quick spray by rotary and then wipe off any residue with a towel and I've got six months of protection.
I once worked it for 30 mins on one panel and the paint became like a pool of water.
Extremely slick product.

Very well known in marine circles
Was at SEMA show 2007

Liquid Glasss is the best wax you can get OTC IMO. it's what my father always used and what's I always used prior joining forums and tried other brands. The only real thing bad I have to say about it is it's stain plastic and trim. It's a polymer based product so look wise it's more shiny. It's also very durable!

When someone ask me what's the better wax I can buy local, I always tell them about LQ. (I also tell them to tap trim)

Mothers is also a good brand imo. There QD and soap are pretty good in my book.

Any sealant or polish that turns trims white is made from very old technology polymer

Today's does not do that and even shines up trims

Dream,

What makes a rotary the preferred method of application for driven quick spray?

Hi Money Pit
With a rotary, it will eliminate the need to hand or machine polish a car if it loses any shine from lets say polishing but not sealing or waxing in the harsh australian sun or any other place that gets really hot, humid and oxidation is a problem (florida, California etc)
up to 50 C in south aussie summer and bugger all ozone layer or protection due to wide open spaces means no wax or sealant on a car can be curtains for paintwork.

It brings back all of the lost shine and will enhance the gloss/colour/wetness as well

you get a slicker finish and added protection by rotary than if you apply with a towel and if you use it by orbital or rotary after every wash, the gloss gets higher and higher and after six months, the wetness will be insane.

So what you can do is do a correction, seal it all up and then after every wash or once every month, two or three, apply with the rotary and watch the paint get richer, wetter, deeper, clearer

A porter cable would be just as good though

I have. I think they're "solid" products, just not as mainstream as others talked about here.

Ironically, I live about 5 miles from their headquarters. I've visited their place several times. Old family company, now run by the two sons--who are both real car guys. They've been around a long time. Not a lot of products. IMHO, probably comparable to Meg's products?

Others may chime in with their thoughts.

Try Patrick at Excel Detail for the clay
