What brand do ya'll like/prefer to use? I've used Mothers in the past,with my claybar and it worked fine.But,between waxes it leaves streaks.Opinions?

 

I like to use "Eagle 1 Wax as you Dry" after washing my truck while im drying it..works great and gives it a just waxed look..As far as a detail spray i like to use "Meguires NXT speed detailer" it to gives me a great quick shine but i dont do it often for fear of scratchin my baby..Hope this helps

 

I've tried several brands and I like Meguiars Quick Detailer the best. Its cheap, easy to find and works great. I also use Finish Kare 425 for a final wipe down. It leaves an unbelievable shine and slickness to your paint. I've also heard good things about Zaino Z-6 but I have never used it.

If you are interested in trying differant products,try Poorboys.I am using them as well as Mequirs but amd leaning towards Poorboys.

 

Poorboys is good stuff. I use their SSR's, EX-P and paste wax. I havent tried their Spray & Wipe but I'm sure it is good too.

 

I personally use Griot's Speed Shine and have had really luck with it.

I like this stuff below. Works especially well if you have dark or black color paint. I think it's like around $10.00

And since opinions are like butt-holes. Megs quick detailer sucks.

Use Ultimate Gloss Enhancer to safely remove insect remains, water spots and road contamination in minutes. It's faster and easier than washing with water. Spotless results!

16 oz. spray. Made in the USA!

 

Meguairs Final Inspection.

 

mothers 100%... i've tried most of them, and like the quality of their products. from claying to waxing to quick detailing, I have them all and really think the products speak for themselves.

 

In order of preference:
-Final Detail (Megs.) (I haven't used it, but it's RP's favorite, so it must be good)
-Poorboys Spray and wipe
-4 star ultimate gloss enhancer
-Final Inspection (#34, megs.professional line)
-A-line quik detailer (megs)--best spray bottle on the market for this application)
-Last touch (Meg.s detailer line)
-NXT QD(BAD stuff IMO)

HTH

 

Another vote for Eagle 1 wax as you dry. Always had great luck with it. Meguires sucks imo. Tried it a few times always had bad results.

 

Yep... gotta love those butt holes don't you rusty?

My favorite is a late/great product...

Meguiar's Final Detail (D-51)... Here's a recent score on my stash of it...



10-gallons should last me a little while...


My second favorite is FK1's 425 Poly Slick (as Sleestak mentioned) -- it's not so much a spray detailer as it is a spray sealant but, most of us use it as a detailer product only when there's a VERY light coat of dust or contamination on the paint as it doesn't lubricate very well.

Third on the list is Rusty's posted favorite -- 4-Star UGE. I'll spare everyone the posted product details though... they're up there if you read them.

From a clay lubrication standpoint, Meguiar's Quik Detailer is a fantastic product... very slick... cheap... readily available but, my new favorite for clay lube is Meguiar's #00 Hi-Tech Wash mixed as a wash but used as a lube. Even Meguiar's Director of Training told me that they should've named that product "Hi-Tech Clay Lube".

Since it's not a true soap, it won't break down the clay's oils and such -- which makes the bar brittle and crumbly. I definitely don't like the stuff as a washing agent though...

The bottom line ... find a product that you like and enjoy it. There are a lot of great ones out there.

Black Magic Express Spray Wax is great stuff! I used to use Meguairs Quick Detailer, till I ran across the Black Magic stuff. I Highily recommend it, esp for us red guys! Meguairs makes some of the best detailing products out there. I just don't see paying $8 for there quick detailer. The Black Magic is only $6 a can & dose real great. Yeah I know, I'm cheap And nope, ya really don't have to like those butt holes.. Gees RP, did those fall off the truck! That's gotta be a 2 year supply

 

I bought the Eagle1 Nano Wax spray.What an un-frickin-believable shine!
This stuff is so easy to apply and even easier to remove! And,it can be used on plastic,vinyl,glass,and rubber!
