Default Favorite Quick Detailer

I use quick detailers frequently during a detail for lubing polishing pads, cleaning door jambs pre Optimum Clear-Seal, clean wheels pre wheel sealant application.

I love Zaino Z-6 and Z-8 for paint and glass during a detail.
I also now use Chemical Guys Pro-Detailer w/carnauba post wash for my own vehicles.

I had FK1 #425 and liked it, but it froze this winter and I had to throw it away, 3 gallons in the garbage....


Any others you recommend?

I like ClearKote Quickshine, Adams Detail Spray, and DG 921. All three are really top notch products!

Why do you like these?

I like Z-6 because it leaves the finish feeling really clean. Z-8 improves the appearance of a Z-5pro application.

Pro-detailer was cheap and it works.
425 really left the finish slick, but I didn't see the anti-static properties, hence I will not buy it again.

I have been using 425 for the last year and like it. I'm getting low and have mixed up some ONR in detail strength and have played with it a little..looks good so far. Don't think it has anti-static properties though.

I am in the Poorboy's corner on this subject. S&W is my most used and trusted product.

I use Zaino products as well. Z8 is affordable since I use it to elevate a look as well as add protection. A little goes a long way. Z6 works well but without the ability to purchase in bulk I tend not to use it much if at all anymore.

I used the Finsh Care detail sprayas well as Adam's both were nice but failed to do what S&W . If I am going to switch I need to see better not the same.

For drying aid and aid in polish residue removal - DP four in one QD mix, I'm sure it will work for ONR QD mix
After a wash - So far it's been SUrf City Hot Rod detailer
Clay lube - same as drying aid
