I was wondering what the best touch-up QD would be for S100 on my Silver Audi? I love the lok of the S100 so I would like to keep the brightness, and reflectivity of the shine. I have Crystal Mist, and Final Touch, but I am always willing t buy the best... WHat do you recommend?

Clearkote Quikshine or Sonus Carnauba Spritz (which I believe has the same grade of carnauba in it as P21S which is the same thing as S100). Either one of those will work great for ya.
Crystal Mist is awesome, too, but I have never tried it over anything but Souveran.

Over carnuba`s I alternate between Sonus Carnuba Spritz, Cyrstal Mist and Quikshine, cant pick which I like best!

Well, if you have Last Touch (or Final Detail), and CM, you already have two fine QD`s. I don`t know if you will find something that you like better. However, the Quik Shine would certainly be one that you might want to try.

Quikshine.
Sonus Carnauba Spritz for me. Brilliant results and comes off like a dream leaving a finish comparable to P21S itself.

I like Sonus for the "just waxed" surface, but Zymol`s detail is a very good detail spray for regular use, and if your car has been driven a couple of weeks in normal to moderately wet weather.

I like Sonus Carnauba Spritz and Poorboy`s S&G on my silver paint.

I used the crystal Mist on the paint, but I felt like it muted the reflections a bit. It seemed to give it a bit mmore depth and wetness, but I lost the reflections. What can I use to keep the vibrant reflections the S100 is known for?

Like I said (and several others suggested), the Sonus Carnauba Spritz has the same grade carnauba in it as P21S/S100. My guess would be that`d be your best bet in mimicking the look of S100.

I myself like several QD`s so I can`t really pick one. I have tried the following (in no particular order).
Poorboy`s Spray & Wipe (carnauba/sealant - no gloss enhancer) - good cleaner
Poorboy`s Spray & Gloss (carnauba/sealant - gloss enhancer)
ClearKote Quickshine (carnuaba/sealant - gloss enhancer)
Optimum Spray Wax (carnuaba/sealant - gloss enhancer)
Pinnacle Crystal Mist (carnuaba only - gloss enhancer)
Zaino Z6 Gloss Enhancer (sealant only - gloss enhancer)
Four Star Gloss Ehancer (sealant only - gloss enhancer)
1Z Einszett Detail Spray (sealant only - gloss enhancer)
Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield (sealant only - gloss enhancer)
What I am currently using is ClearKote Quickshine. I forgot how good it was. :up

Whast about NXT Speed Detailer or Turtle Wax Platinum Series QD? Anyone have any opinions on these? I am looking for something OTC.
