    As a very active member of another Forum, I really hate it when the same question gets asked over and over again. So everytime I do go in a new forum, I use the search engine before posting. But since this forum is filled with abbreviations, and the search engine requires a 3 letter minimum to do a search, it is pretty difficult. Try doing a search on QD, or Meguiers FI, the search engine will not allow you to type that.:up

    I have Final Inspection, Meguiars QuikDetailer and Eagle One and frankly I like the Eagle One even though it might not have the detailer ranking since you can get it at any auto store. Give it a try. Its cheap too.

    Actually I spoke to a Meguiars rep not to long ago and was told that neither product contains silicones. One is marketed to pros, the other to consumers. Supposedly FI has a bit more of a shine.

    I have found that too. It is definately not a normal spray bottle.

    Yea, that armor all paint protectant is pretty good. It makes it shine and leaves the car feeling nice and slick.

    I have a new favorite-Quikshine, which is made by Clearkote out of Houston. I found it at a ricer shop at the mall (you know, the alleged hi-performance shops that sell more neon and altezzas than headers).



    It really doesn`t have any scent at all, but it leaves the paint super slick-and I mean slick. I sent some to Intermezzo and he seemed to like it also.

    I voted on the other category:



    I have only used Platinum Gloss Enhancing Mist. I used this based on advise from TACS. I have klasse on my car and they recommended this if I was using polymers.



    I plan to later use clear pearl and then I will have something to compare it to
