Which Quick Detailer?
It looks like I'm on my way to getting all my supplies early this year and on sale!!! Thanks to everyone for providing me with their vast amount of knowledge on the various products.
I'm getting Wolfgang's and 4 Star sealants...can't make up my mind. What I need help with is the QD. Should I get the Wolfgang or 4 Star brand or go with the Clearkote Quickshine? I've hear good reviews on all of them. Is Clearkote compatible with these sealants?
Need your help!!!

Adam's is my favorite, but I'll take 4* too.

Quikshine is by far my favorite. I can use it on carnaubas and sealants with equally excellent results. In addition, it leaves the paint very slick and makes spider swirls less noticable.

I've used both, and I think 4*UGE and Sonus Acrylic Spritz are the same product.

I know for certain Long Haul's Truck Gloss and Race Glaze's Gloss Highlighter are the exact same product.  |

What's funny is, we might all be surprised at some of the duplications in the car detailing business. Color and smell can play a trick into thinking the same product is actually better or worse. There is a lot of toll blending in the industry and many products use the same formulas.
I worked for a company that made a press wash for the printing industry and had a company try our product that was duplication of what they were using and they didn't like it. A few weeks later I convinced the buyer to put my product in the container of what they use. Buyer checks with the press people a week later and asks how the prodcut is working and their reply was the same as it always has and better than that sample they tried a few weeks ago. They were surpirsed when they found out it was the sample product that they had actually been using that week. Got the business and saved them a bundle.  |

Wolfgang DS, or Menzerna to top acrylic based sealants; Adams, Crystal Mist or 4* SW+ to top carnaubas.
