Default Which quick detailer/sealer?

Is anyone using quick detailing sprays or sealers as they are called and can you advise which is best?

McGuires or 3M (detailing spray or quick wax)- each works well in-between regular waxes.

Adams Quick Detailer is really amazing stuff. I get mine at Detailers Domain. The stuff from Autozone / Pep boys really isn't at the same level, though I do use the Meguiars Ultimate detailer on my non-Porsches.

I bought some Lucas Oil quick detailer spray a few months ago and tried it out on the other cars and it works really really good. I use it on my Porsche now too. I have been using Mequires sprays for over 20 years on my cars and drums and they have never failed me. Way back in the day I use to use The Wax Shop Slick Stuff but I cannot find it anymore.

I like to seal my cars with Klasse All in one and then use Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze as a top coat.

I picked up this trick from one of the detail web sites. I mix 1 part of the Sealant Glaze with 10 parts water. Works great as a detailer and it puts a light coat of sealant on. HGSG builds on it self so every time you use it the shine gets deeper. have been doing this for years onall my car and it really cuts down on the number of times you have to wax.

Been using Rejex for years - and it does the trick for paint, plastic and wheels. Makes the surfaces very slick, easier to clean, etc. Deep shine too.

As for quick detail - I use Griot's Speed Shine after all washes.

I've been using Zanio with P21S layered over it. It's great on my silver car.

Eric, I just got some Rejex for the wheels. Never thought about using it on the entire car until you mentioned. I will give it a go. Have you ever layered carnuba wax on top of it?

I use Meguiars between wax jobs. It also works well after waxing to clean up any dried residue or haze that you might have missed during buffing.

I use Meguiars Ultimate Quik Detailer Spray just about every day.

Klasse Sealant Glaze can be a bitch to polish off after it dries especially if you put it on too thick. Spritzing it with Meguiars detail spray first makes the job a lot easier.

Turtle Ice detail spray works well. I suspect now days there are loads of good choices.

One thing I'd like to find an alternative to is the BMW "Express Wax"; spray it on the wet car after a wash,dry it, then polish with a micro-fiber towel. Works great for a quick wash/detail - but very expensive from BMW and a bottle goes quickly. I have Googled around and still have not found a similar product.

Been a Zaino fan for a while and the Z-6 Gloss Enhancer/Z-8 Grand Finale and Z-CS Clear Seal work incredibly well. That said, I've recently started using Rejex rather than the Zaino polishes and it is simply awesome stuff. Rejex plus Z-CS, maintained by Z-6 and Z-8, produces fantastic results.

Many good options it seems like!

I am also interested, but anyone knows which of these quick detailers are EASIEST to apply? I want something as easy as spray and go!
