Best quikdetailer?

Bobby Pynes · 10-14-2011, 05:51 PM

Any opinions? I was going to get Zaino Z6 or z8, but i decided instead of flying off the handle and buying the marketing, i would ask the pros

I love Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical, gave Chemical Guys V7 a shot last weekend and it's a very good product as well.

Z8 is an awesome product, and I like it a lot. However, my favorite is Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical edition, which is basically a spray sealant more than a quick detailer. If this is for your trunk to clean up bird-bombs on the go, stick with a different product. If this is for after washing to add gloss and protection, it's truly hard to beat Red Mist Tropical.

I tried a few, and so far I'm happiest with Optimum Instant Detailer. You might search the forums for OID to find reviews, but this is what I wrote on DetailedImage:

I'm glad George recommended this product to me. A light mist wipes away quick, with no streaking problem like other products. I love that it's a concentrate, so a quart makes a gallon - very affordable! My new favorite QD.

I just started using Optimum QID. I would say it's pretty flawless. It didn't streak for me, left a nice gloss on my BSM and JB, and smelled pretty good.

I also love Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical. I've used Z8 extensively as well, but I prefer the Dodo.

Bobby Pynes · 10-15-2011, 10:58 AM

so many suggestions... Seems as if dodo juice is the winner by a hair.

Bobby Pynes · 10-15-2011, 02:02 PM

Ended up with the optimum quick wax and dodo juice red most tropical stuff. Let's see if this takes my maintenance routine to an easier place. Currently I'm using Meguiar's ultimate quick detailed and it's just not cutting it.

If you don't like RMT, I'll buy it off of you.

For the Dodo Juice fans, it is a monthly special at Detailed Image.. They also have free shipping ending today.

I've been using Sonus Spritz for about a month now. Just picked up some CG but haven't used it yet. Sonus is good stuff for sure!

I'm new to all of this and bought a bottle of Meguiar's quick detailer which unfortunately spilled all over my trunk. I got it for those bird bombs and want to get another that's easy to get like from Walmart, Target, etc. I suppose the Meguiar's would work fine but anything in particular you'd recommend?

I'm a big fan of using ONR for this, it's super cheap and works well.
