Guys I know this subject has been tossed around dozens of times; but, I would like to refresh one more time.

I've spent a ton of hours researching and looking at reviews, although lots of folks swear by several different products inclusive of a couple of waterless wash products, it seems the 2 quick detail sprays that keep overwhelmingly popping up are Adams and FK-425.

For my "garage queen" application I don't care about water beading, surface slickness or which product will last the longest.

Instead I only care about shine and a product that doesn't streak.

I have to admit I've been using Mequiar's Gold Class Quick Detail Spray and it definitely looks shiny and never streaks.

Do you think I would see a better shine with Adams or FK-425 over the Mequiar's GCQD ??? ----------- Note: price and purchase convivence is a non issue!

Thank you !

I might have missed it, but I’ve never seen
an Adams QD spray make an appearance on
this forum (AGO’s); and, I’ll add, only rarely
does FK425.

No; not really.

{Since Meguiar’s GCQD is giving you
exactly what you want...Why switch?}

I’ve always really liked Wolfgang’s QD. Works in direct sun, flashes very well, lots of lubricity and I feel it does look better than most. Hell, I’ll even send you some if you want to try it before you buy it.
 
Kenotek showroom shine
You wont be disappointed-- and it lasts

It's not allowed here
Adams not in the AG store
Too bad: it's the best

If you only care about shine and not streaking, then you are looking for Bead Maker. You didn't say you want cleaning ability. Bead Maker is *not* a quick detailer so you should not use it to clean off fingerprints and dust. But on a clean car, when you are looking for that POP effect, you want Bead Maker. It costs like $13 to find out for yourself.
 
Pinnacle Crystal Mist, which I assume you have heard about during your QD research. Not sure I’ve used QDs that give more of a shine and glow than that one. Note it does have carnauba in it and might collect some dust.

My other favorites also have carnauba actually: Blackfire QD and Mckees High Gloss detail spray.

Griot's Garage Best of Show Detailer 128 oz.

I too like the one that can't be discussed, but my other go-tos:

Optimum Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer
Meguiar's 34 Final Inspection
 
Sonax High Speed Wax is nice. It actually hazes like a true carnauba wax. Then you wipe it off.
 
Griots Speed shine! Superglossy doesnt streak last bout a week. The previous mention Griots BOSS QD probably even better! Stop using QD’s all together so never tried it.

How do you use the Adams? To wipedown a dusty vehicle? Or as a drying aid on a clean vehicle?

Very light dust and fingerprints, or when I've got overspray from cleaning the windows or whatever. Anything heavier than simple dust I go to their Waterless Wash which is phenomenal.
 
If you seek for the looks from the QD and use it to shine up the paint and other parts. Polish Angel Sprayduster Active is a great choice. It's not economical as it's expensive but gives you an incredible looks and ease of use. For the showroom looks and when you really want that extra. A combo of their carnuaba flakes in it and SiO2 and TiO2.

I was unaware this had flakes or any carnauba. The US descriptions don’t mention it. I knew this for Presto though.

I had wrong about the carnuaba flakes in it. The description on germany is a little hard to understand LOL. It's says it looks like a high quality carnuaba finish. But they have put in a lot more SiO2 and TiO2 in the v4 formula. Before it was between 10-15% but now according to the SDS it's up to 30% with both SiO2 and TiO2. Maybe the new more foaming formula made it to be more loaded. I think though that the amount of SiO2 and TiO2 can be decieving. As you useally use way less product with PA products. Otherwise it would be up there with Gyeon CanCoat and Carpro Lite. That I don't think it is but maybe around 3 months or so.

Thanks for double checking, and now the SiO2 numbers surprise me. I have 2 bottles from AG but I doubt they are V4, their dates are from last year.

I used Sprayduster on half my wife’s car last week, which has Cosmic Spritz as a base. I wanted to see if I or she could tell the difference since Cosmic already looks so nice. She’s been out of town though and I haven’t even took her car out of the garage to observe yet. She’s back tonight so observation coming soon.
