my take:



since I don't have any bottles of OCW to compare it to (although I do have some on order)

I can't say its an OCW clone product (but that's another thread)



instructions: simple enuff to interpret, spray on wipe off - like a "standard" qd

packaging: same bottle as well you know what, sprayhead OK

ease of use: spray on, wipe off - that easy, with no streaking

qd finish: cleans ok, very glossy, also fairly slick

fragrance: lil bit coconut, lil bit of aftershave - not my fav smell but not terrible

mfg claims: claims to be a spray wax/detailer, I'll second that - claims to last longer that other qd's not way to tell yet..update with pics to follow



overall:

for 2.90 I'd take it over megs otc qd

very easy to use

I've only used two spray waxes megs regular (ok) and megs NXT(shine good, ease of use BAD) - neither are extremely durable

if it will extend my megs #16 shine(because of carnuba?) I'll use up my two bottles no prob (may pickup a third, for the price)
 
I agree, Prestone QS is actually pretty good stuff. Definitely not OCW but a great QD. More like PBs S&G if anything. I got mine for 50 cents more than you and its still a steal. I got mine at Walmart
 
battery about to die...in shade, washed earlier this week with pressure wash(no soap)

After reading so much about this product, I decided to get some for myself. I found a local Pepboys that still had it on a shelf. No prices were marked, so I grabbed a bottle of the Quick Shine Detailer and brought it over to the cashier for a price check. It rang up as $2.60. Ok, I picked up a shopping basket and went back to grab more bottles. Then, I noticed bundles of the Prestone High Protection Wax with the Quick Shine shrinkwrapped together. Hmmm, I grabbed one of the bundles and brought it over to the cashier for another price check. She smiled and said, "$2.60, same price as the other one." Needless to say, I stocked up on these bundles.

I haven't read too much about this wax, except for the two reviews in the "Review" section of Autopia, and will probably just give the stuff away to relatives/friends. The way I see it, I bought QD, and got the wax for free. I tried the QD this morning and it's not bad at all. For the price I paid, it's darn good value.
 
I used the High Protection wax before and I liked it. That QS/Wax is a great deal for $2.60, I would pick some up but I guess its a godsend I don't have any PepBoys nearby. I'm trying to clear my stuff out, not buy anymore. :grinno:
 
I was perusing the car products in the ShopRite (local supermarket) and saw a bottle of this on the shelf in front of the Prestone Wheel Cleaner...I knew it was old bottle that somehow surfaced and likely on some sort of clearance...$1.49! Has to be worth a shot for that, so I snagged it.
 
There was a thread about it's similarities to OCW - bottom line was Prestone QS and OCW are not the same. The Prestone QS does make a nice QD, though.
 
just went and bought the last bottle @pepboys for 2.90... it has been an excellent companion to OCW..excellent @maintaining OCW...cleaning properties so-so...shines very good tho
