Which One? I'm a big fan of DP and PB's lines. But I'm willing to try a few things out. Any reccomendations? I'm just looking for something I could spray on and wipe off of my car in the mornings before work or inbetween washes. Thanks for any help.
 
Poorboy's Spray & Wipe is a great clean-up QD. Many people like it so much that after they use it they become members of the "1 gallon jug club" :)
 
I just bought some Crystal Mist.....normally $59.00 on sale for $25.00. I used it for the first time this morning and it's AWESOME!! I'm sure most people here will agree with me.
It also has a very pleasant Pina Colada smell which stays on the car for a little. So when your friends come over not only can they look and touch your car....they can smell it now also!! Seriously......it's good ####!!
 
Since you're a fan of the DP line (me too), a lot of guys are using the DP 4 in 1 at different dilution ratios as a no-rinse-wash; clay lube; QDer; etc. That being said,and a very good option, I'd also jump on that Crystal Mist deal. Love that stuff.
 
I've heard good things about the Crystal Mist. What about the Poorboys QW or the Poorboys Spray and Gloss?

I've never used Poorboy's QW but I will go out on a limb and guess that it is not a clean up QD but more of a QD+ or spray wax that should be used on a clean car to add gloss and protection. I do use and love Spray and Gloss. It offers a slick, high gloss shine with light cleaning abilities,but not as much as PB Spray and wipe.

Here is my take on different types of QDs:

Clean-up: Poorboy's Spray & Wipe, Mothers Showtime
Gloss Enhancers: Poorboy's Spray & Gloss, Clearkote Quick Shine, FK 425
QD+ or spray waxes/sealants: Duragloss Aquawax, Pinnacle Souveran Spray Wax,

I've heard good things about THEM. I've got PB S&W coming in an order that I hope gets here today (think that is closer to a no rinse wash). It will be my first time with it so I can't tell you about it. With summer coming I'm going to use more PB stuff (sun or shade).
 
ONR works well, but it's not ranked highly for it's shine factor.
 
If there is heavy dust then I recommend S&W. If there is light dust then I recommend Crystal Mist if you want something with some Carbs.
 
Thanks for the great feedback so far. I think i've narrowed it down to PB Spray and Wipe, and Pinnacle Crystal Mist. Haha now I just have to narrow it down to one (for now at least).
 
I'm a big fan of Megs. FInal Inspection, this stuff amazes me everytime I use it, mainly the ease, I have found that you don't even have to buff it off, just wipe and it dries up without any streaks. I also like PB waterless wash spray and wipe, for cars that are a little bit more dirty.Also, I just started to use PB Spray and Gloss and its pretty good, but I'm sticking with Megs. FI for my car.
 
Like I said before I just used the Crystal Mist and you can get it for over 50% off. It was recommended to me by Dwayne who took my order and has worked in the detail supply business for over 4 years, so he see's a lot of product. I can tell you that it will give you a nice deep shine, smells great, easy on and off and leaves no residue at all. Good luck either way!

Just a small edit by Rob. Dwayne has been in the detail supply business for over 4 years and started at Autogeek right before Detail Fest 2007.

Clean-up, DG #921, DP 4n1, Poorboy's Spray & Wipe,
QD, Duragloss Aquawax #951, Crystal Mist, Adam's Detail Spray, FK 425.
 
Any one tried Duragloss FC (fast clean & shine). It truly is fast and clean, but still like cm for a fast wipe down.
 
I'm still a fan of FK425 for pure QD. Works great on windows, tv screens, computer monitors as well. Just picked up another gallon of it recently. :)
 
this is my absolute favorite product, because its versatile and can truly change the outcome of a finish.

Fav Qd --- Mothers Showtime, Poorboys Spray/Rinse

Fav Qd'er+ ---- FK425, Z8, Duragloss 921, Quikshine, Crystal Mist, 4* Enhancing Gloss, Sonus Acrylic Spritz

I still cannot see a new one on shelve, without the absolute and clear need to try.
 
It depends on what you have to deal with every morning. My car is always parked outside so it gets covered with dust and pollen. In which case I would use S&W. If there is light dust then you could use CM. I'm anal about my car so if I'm gonna use a QD regularly then I want something with a lot of lubricant and cleaning ability to avoid streaking the contaminants.

Even after I wash my car I still follow up with a round of S&W to remove water spots and anything missed the the wash. Then I proceed to either follow up with CM or my new found joy Spray Souveran. I had the opportunity this past weekend to try AW. Thats' some really nice stuff.

That's more of a spray wax, but nonetheless a very good QD+.

I just bought DP's FG QD, and this stuff smells BETTER than the old CM, and its almost identical to the old CM.

I have lots of CM now, so I wanted to try out DP's first, before buying 64 more oz of CM. I'll buy one 64oz jug of CM, but from now on, its DP's FG for sure!!! The price CANNOT be beat at $9.99 for 32oz.
