Which Quick Detailer?

karl_683 · 20th April 2010, 08:48

Hi guys, has anyone got any recommendations for a good quick detailer. I have just applied 2 coats of Collonite 476 but just want that bit of extra shine when I wash it throughout the summer.

Cheers

Personally I use Meguiar's Last Touch as a day-to-day spray, i.e. after each wash to keep the wax topped up. It works out pretty cheap because you can buy a gallon and dilute it 50/50 with distilled water, so for about £19 you get enough to last you ages and ages.

Then for special occasions, I use Dodo Juice Red Mist to give it that bit extra. I've heard Zaino Z8 is very good for that as well.

website 'cleanyourcar' -Chemical Guys Speed Wipe at £7.95-excellent. Have a look at their drying towels as well if you.ve never used one before.

I use Z8 once a month to top up the wax , it does give the car a little extra bling.

After my usual wash i also use Chemical Guys Speed Wipe as well

Still wrong! (imo of course

) Definitley Meguires "Last Touch". Very effective, and economical as (as has already been said) it can be watered down. You can buy it from "Cleanyourcar", or, if you were at Gaydon, you could have won some in the raffle.

Yes I was at Gaydon, I had my eye on it but someone got there first!! Still I won a sunblind so can complain too much. Still seems like people are divided as to which is best. As such I propose that everyone send me a sample bottle of what they recommend so that we can have a proper product test.....

Z8 is Zaino's Sealant , its Z6 that is their QD .Using Z8 everytime you wash the car will just be a waste as you are sealing the sealant if that makes sense
