My question is, I have used Adams detail spray which I do like, now I know he does not make it, is there an equivalent, price comes into to play some of these must be gold infused. Also open to what you may use, at the present I am using Chemical Guys detail sprays.
 
The best QD I believe is Prima Slick. Never used Adam's. I would check out CG's Speed Wipe. That I do use, and it's quite good - and pretty cheap for a gallon.
 
I have used Adam's but way to pricey if you do this for a living and I switched to ONR which works as good or better.
 
What detail sprays are you using?

If you want a spray wax that is very easy to apply as Adam's, try Pinnacle XMT Spray Wax. It leaves an excellent finish. CG Speed Shine smells and looks like Adam's older formula but did not find it identical.
 
Megs last touch is very good.......can also be used as clay lube.

DG 921 fast and clean is another.

I use these the most.
 
I find I hardly ever use "detail" spray anymore. I am either using a waterless wash product like Ultima, IUDJ, Opticlean or DP if something needs light cleaning or I am using a spray wax when drying my car like XMT spray wax, Aquawax etc.

My detail sprays like FK425, XMT detail spray all just sit on the shelf now
 
Adams is the best pure detail spray IMO and I still use it for final wipe downs and touch ups, etc. I have heard CG speed wipe is very similar at a much lower price point.
 
I have Adams and it isn't bad just cost too much for what it does. If you want to save money UWW+ ,Pinnacle LCWW concentrate and ONRWW. Duragloss Aqua Wax and Chemical Guys Speed Wipe are good. Not a huge Meguiars fan but just tried D156 after reading all the glowing reviews and I can see why now.
 
I loved Adams Detail Spray, but lately the need/desire for a dedicated QD seems to be waning. I'm getting by fine with UWW+ at the moment. Should I feel compelled to pick up another gallon of QD, I will more than likely go with Finish Kare 425.
 
I have used adam's before. I have switched over to megs M135 and like it's hydrophobic quality. I also have megs last touch which can be also be diluted for clay lube.
 
Clearkote's qd is a great stand alone qd as is Poorboys. What I like about PB's is you can mix their qd and their s&w to boost it's cleaning abilities.
 
Don't laugh but a while back someone posted that he took a 32oz bottle of Turtle Wax Rinse Less Wash and Wax, put it in a gallon and filled with water, he uses it as a QD, so basically got a gallon of QD for six bucks.

Being I bought like 20 bottles of it to use as my RW I too tried it and have been using it for a couple of months.
It removes light dust safely and leaves a nice shine.
With the same dilution it works great for claying, great lube.
Again, all for six bucks.

I still have a few bottles of UQD but don't use it much, I love the TWRW that much:)

Not a bad deal but considering you can get the 16 oz conc of UWW+ for $21 which dilutes down to over 5 gallons breaks down to just under $4 a gallon, and Ultima has so many uses.
