Wanted to know what you guys have been using. Looking for a good wax and quick detail spray. There's just so many out there. Thanks.

 

there are..but mothers california is a good wax and the meguiars quick detailer is one that i find works real great with a nice micro-fiber rag. itts reall easy and quick

 

great. thanks for the info.

 

I also have clearBra all over the car. Can I use products on it?

 

Gloss-it is what the premier guys and our detailer uses. They have special stuff for clear film etc...

 

For clear bra vinegar works well

 

For wax I hired a professional detailer!

For detail spray...I use Griot's Garage Speed Shine and love it. The stuff is amazing. I will drive the cars for a few days...they get a little dirty and all I do is hit it with the speed shine and it looks like it was just detailed. The whole process takes 5-10 mins and is fantastic.

I had my car detailed maybe 2 months ago and haven't had to wash it once since...how cool is that?

 

For quick detail spray I have been using this stuff from Turtle wax called "Ice" and after using Zaino Z5 for years I really am just as satisfied. Also using their "Ice" synthetic liquid polish as well....no complaints so far. You just have to be sure that the car is really clean before application as it has no cleaners in it. So after a good wash and a clay bar it really looks nice.

 

+1 The Gloss-It Gloss Enhancer has been voted most favorite QD by many of the top detailers in the industry. It's all I use and it BLOWS anything else out there away. $45 for (3) 22oz bottles is a smoking deal, too. You can buy 4 oz. samples from him, too.

I use zaino polish and spray but I never spray it in lieu of a wash. I use the spray after each wash only.

 

i've also used meguiars quick detailer on all of my past cars but with my current BLACK tt it tends to leave streaks... Does Gloss work well with black cars?

 

I use Klasse, polish like harmless on glass or rubber, look it up, it works great and a lot better than any wax I have used in the past.

 

I would highly recommend FK-425. It is made by Finish Kare (http://www.fk1usa.com)

I don't think you will find a slicker or higher gloss QD (IMO) this this stuff. It is also bright Bubble Gum pink and smells great!

 

Many thanks everyone. Got lots of great suggestions now. :-)

 

For past 9 to 10 years, i have used Natures Style Magic. Totally natural Australian rainforest (botanical) lubricants, so ALL my recent 5 (expensive) new cars have NEVER been hosed with water, EVER, just Natures Style Magic. (previous to 10 years i used the usual chemico-polymered shampoo, wastefully wet, messy, rust promoting, time consuming system)

This wash is pH nuetral so it gently but effectively cleans the bra film, and the duco, alloy wheels, plastics, stainless, chrome exhausts, carbonfibre, then all the internal cabin leathers, satnav screens, vinyls, rubbers, veneers, wood, etc.....to perfection ! (external bug splats slightly longer soaks before wiping off)
It is also an internal windscreen/window de-fogger.

A natural oil gives it a sheen, so it also cleans and sheens without the use of 'non green' layers of polymers relied on by petro-chemico wash preparations. Even onlookers think the washed cars have just had a light wax !

The need for canuaba waxing is now 2 times per year per car, instead of 6 times, as pH neutral means it wont cut away at the protective wax.

People used to nervously laugh, fearing the scratches that is sure to follow; but never anymore when shown the simple technique, and no scratches.

Unbelievable product, so it naturally takes time for cynics to be won over, but there are now very large numbers of vehicle owners, car dealerships, government departments, local councils, detailers, museums, car show contestants, etc, using it. (some biggest users were some of the loudest cynics)

Users can be proud that even the sprayed air, and the drains leading to our seas and land do not carry harmful car wash preps. this will become more and more important as we become more aware and concerned of what harm we may be doing to the world.

Above, there were various brands listed and recommended by other posters. This is a similiar product to those, but also very different in that it is totally natural, pH neutral, instantly biodegradable, petro-chemico free, and water based; and can be used on sensitive materials like leather and satnavs !

Cheaper too, about AU$40 a gallon, enough for 3 to 7 months depending on usage. Biggest saving is time, labour and water.

(of course, if a car has been caked in mud, rinse mud or ice off, then use the product out of the sun)

This is how i create for, many others & myself, more car driving time in clean cars more of the time. ok, i have shared.

all the best
