I am looking for something to use as waterless wash, or after wash to enhance gloss, and in-between sealant coats if needed. Would this require two separate products or one? There seam to be so many instant detail sprays...are the major of the differences whether or not they contain wax? If they don't contain wax are they just a type of lubricant , for example could I use clay bar spray as an instant detail spray?
I am looking at poor-boys products for example and they have
quick detailer,
spray and gloss,
waterless wash .. These all appear to be similar products, what are the major differnces?

Can I use any of these in-between WG sealant coats? If the detail spray contains wax would if mess up the bonding process if used in-between coats of WG sealant?

Lastly, what have you found to be your favorite, and what does it smell like? I can't remember the one I used years ago, its orange, smells like peach with a hint of coconut. I can't remember it and haven't been able to find it sense , does this ring any bells?

thank you all for your help and thoughts!!

Yes, different products. I think most will agree with me here that for waterless wash, Megs D114 is pretty darn amazing. It leaves nothing behind and adds a deep shine.

But for a QD, I love Pinnacle Chrystal Mist. It's a caranuba & polymer based QD that goes on easy, comes off easy and lasts a long time. Plus it smells really good!
 
Agreed with the Crystal Mist, I have tired other QD sprays and none have left my paint as smooth and glossy. Some have matched gloss, but not smoothness.
 
I <3 CG V7, it doesn't last long but wow to the shine and slickness. A gallon isn't expensive and you only use a small amount. Only down side is it seems to only last 2-3 days for me. It's also one of my favorite smelling products. I keep a 16oz bottle with a blue Eagle Edgeless in my truck.
 
I have about 12 detail sprays that haven't been used in years. Ultima Waterless Wash + is everything anyone could possibly need. The crazy cheap cost is just an added bonus!
 
I use RivStar Bead-it allot
The grape scent smells nice!
Recently purchased souvourn spray wax and BF midnight spray wax
like em all lol.

Interested in trying PA Viking spritz
 
For a detail spray I like Duragloss 921. For a spray wax I like Aqua Glow from Daubert Chemicals.
 
Well when it comes to store bought you can't go wrong with Aquawax from Duragloss. I have made up my own spray wax, called "FrankenDetailer" and its made up of your favorite RW made up as a QD and then I infuse Klasse Sealant Glaze into it.

PA Viking Spray and PA Black Wulfenite are incredible. IMO they are in the Top 3 of spray wax/QD out there.

I do like Duragloss Aquawax and the new Blackfire Spray Wax

Those are my 3 picks
 
Question1: "I am looking for something to use as waterless wash, or after wash to enhance gloss, and in-between sealant coats if needed. Would this require two separate products or one?"

Question 2: "Can I use any of these in-between WG sealant coats? If the detail spray contains wax would if mess up the bonding process if used in-between coats of WG sealant?"

If you are using WG Sealants, I would recommend using thier Spray Sealant or their Quick Spritz for adding gloss after any wash. Personally, I would stay away from carnauba to add gloss because it may interfer with a new coat of true sealant. Their whole product line works together. You can't go wrong staying inside of it. I use the WG sealant spray and the spritz, and am happy with the results.
Now, in terms of a waterless wash I would pick something without carnauba like Ultima waterless, or Meg's D114. Both are economical for using as a waterless, and probably won't interfer with adding a new coat of WG sealant.
So, your question really was, "Would this require two seperate products or one?" My answer is that I don't see any gloss enhancer, like a spritz or a spray sealant, being economical for use as a waterless wash product. I would use two seperate products to wash waterlessly and for adding gloss.
 
I've used Meguiar's M34 for almost twenty years. It seems to have less impact on the finish, than a dedicated spray wax. I like Duragloss Aquawax for my "spray sealant"
