    Isn`t this product the most highly regarded QD of the OTC line? Would I be better off with something like Quikshine or Poorboy`s?



    My intended use is cleaning wood trim, bird bombs, and dust on interior, etc.



    Can I find Meg`s FI OTC? (it seems to be part of their `professional line`, which most places won`t carry I am assuming.)



    Thank you in advance.

    I really like Final Inspection, but it lends itself to cleaning more than appearance enhancement.



    It can usually be found locally through paint and body supply stores.

    It is more than likely a stock item in 16oz at NAPA. They can order a gallon and usually have it the next day.

    I`ve used Final Inspection when I have used polishes that dust, in order to get rid of the dust before the next step.



    It might work for what you want it to do. There are "cleaner" QDs, and there are "gloss" QDs. Final Inspection is definitely a "cleaner" QD, so it may do what you are looking for, and it is easily avilable (NAPA). Finish Kare 425 comes to mind as a gloss QD.

    Like Hey, Moe! said, it works well as a QD used between polishing steps to get rid of residue. For a balanced QD between cleaning and adding some gloss, I like Quickshine. I think 425 is my overall favorite though. Nothing wrong with FI however. It`s a solid cleaner.
    If you`re irritated by every rub, how will you be polished?

    425 is one of the best gloss QDs out there - and in a friendly body shop safe formula, with AS properties.

    I use Meguiar`s Last Touch Spray Detailer. "It produces incredible depth, shine and gloss. This spray-on, wipe-off product has a unique blend of polymeric lubricating agents that gently removes dust, fingerprints, smudges and other contaminants, leaving a flawless, showroom shine." Good stuff

    If I remember correctly Final Inspection has a small alcohol content which can degrade LSP performance.



    Anyone else remember reading this?

    I`ve found FI to be a great cleaner, but as stated, it doesn`t leave near as much shine as other QD`s. E1, TW Platinum and Mothers have been good OTC gloss enhancers for me.
