Summary The best, but not by much (February 6, 2004)

Reviewer's Comments

I've used the following Quick Detail sprays (and still have all of them but one), so I'm basing my findings on my previous experiences. While I may not have used as many QDs as some folks here, I would personally rate my QD experience level as "advanced". In alphabetical order:

•3M Perfect-It Gloss Enhancer
•Auto Magic #49 Body Shine
•Deep Reflections Quick Detail Spray (Local bathtubber)
•Duragloss 921 Fast Clean and Shine
•Eagle One Wet Wipe 'n Shine
•Eimann Fabrik Clear Pearl Instant Detail Spray
•Meguiar's#34 Final Inspection
•Meguiar's Quik Detailer
•Mothers California Gold Showtime Instant Detailer
•One Grand Showoff
•Pinnacle Crystal Mist Quick Detailer
•The Wax Shop Slick Stuff
...and now ClearKote Quick Shine.


Is it the best I've ever used? Yes...but not by much.

• It looks no better than many of the brands mentioned above.
• It does appear to leave a finish that releases dust a little more readily. (This is good, especially with a black car)
• It leaves behind a slick, silky feeling. While that may be personally gratifying, unfortunately, it's not something I want other people to realize, because I don't want them touching my paint to check it out.
