If I may add my $0.02 even though the Last touch seems to be the product for you.
I love my D156 personally. It aids in lubrication, I never have streak issues personally that too on my dark coloured car, its Hyrdrophobic properties are great, the gloss and slickness are the cherry on top. I feel it might be little smeary if applied heavy though, and even when completely buffed off, a couple of times I have felt a oily, smeary texture on my paint, and when touched I can tell something is applied. So don't over apply and you will not face issues. You get the hang of it after the first couple times I think. You could water it down, but I am not sure of how it would work, its performance might degrade and all that. I personally use it neat.
Last touch may be great, but I am unsure about any protection or gloss levels lasting as long as D156.
D156 goes on everything for me, plastics, glass, paint you name it. I applied it during our March rains and the water just flew off my windshield while driving above 40-50kph. Amazing product IMHO. Lasts quite long too.
Last touch also sounds good if you want it as a drying aid due to lubricity but I personally am not convinced of it.
Keep in mind, you said you dont want something with protection, so LT might just be perfect for your needs.
Yea I've started using my D156 a bit more as a drying aid recently on customers vehicles.. Usually the subjects are in direct sun + the vehicles look ok, but haven't been properly cared for meaning they haven't been clayed or "waxed" [some customers simply aren't interested in paying for the proper upgrade]
I like how D156 makes drying a bit easier on those vehicles + knocks out any potential water spots, even in direct sun.. Protection on those vehicles I really couldn't care less as they haven't been through the proper process anyways. Leaves the paint smooth, yes. No great problem with streaking but it has happened to me on black paint.
My main gripe is I don't really notice much of a visual difference from it.. Plus I'm looking forward to some potential new clients that are interested in full proper multi step details in the near future and would like the benefit of something like Last Touch. A post wash wipedown that simply adds a bit of gloss + slickness. [not a drying aid] But not its own layer of protection because I don't want my post wash wipedown interfering that way.. Not to mention D156 can sometimes be a bit of a dust magnet.
Long term effects be damned, I just want that quik moment of extra pop and wow factor when I'm done with the vehicle.
