Review: Detailer’s Pro Quick Wax
Introduction:
After the pleasant experience with Blackfire Wet Diamond Spray Wax, the new DP aerosols seemed like a natural. I had really high hopes for DP Quick Wax because the Blackfire was just that good.
My neighbor kindly volunteered his 2002 Mini Cooper to be the test bed. (He's a plumber and we traded services.) Unlike with the DP Trim Detailer, it wasn't quite so perfect of a test vehicle. Silver and missing some paint but we work with what we have. For completeness, wheels were cleaned with Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner & various brushes + sponge. Tires with Zep Citrus Degreaser (4:1) and Tuff Shine brush. Trim was scrubbed with OPC and dressed with Detailer's Pro Trim Dressing. Tires dressed with Surf City Garage Beyond Black (in keeping with the aerosol theme -- he wanted high gloss).
Thanks to Corey again for providing the format.

"Spray. Buff. Done!
Detailer's Quick Wax delivers the deep shine of carnauba wax in a convenient aerosol spray! Application is quick and the results are long-lasting. Paint will have a rich, mirror shine plus excellent protection from the elements. Detailer's Quick Wax saves time without sacrificing results.
We all want to wax our vehicle regularly, but hand waxing is time-consuming – until now. Detailer's Quick Wax allows you to quickly apply a glossy coat of wax that offers great protection and shine, but takes just minutes to apply. It's the perfect solution to maintaining quality paint protection when you don't have time for a paste wax.
Professional detailers have relied on aerosol detailing products for years because they save time and dry quickly. Detailer's Quick Wax offers this same convenience plus a deep luster that can only come from a premium wax. With Detailer's Quick Wax, you can have it all.
Detailer's Quick Wax should always be applied to a clean, dry vehicle. The aerosol nozzle provides quick paint coverage with a wide, fine mist. Once the wax dries to a haze, it can be buffed off to reveal a slick shine. The finish lasts up to six weeks.
Detailer's Quick Wax can be used as a stand-alone wax or it can be applied after washing the vehicle to boost the existing wax. Either way, your vehicle will have the shine and protection of real carnauba wax in just minutes."
Details:
1.- Packaging: Aerosol can
2.- Directions: Clearly labeled
3.- Viscosity: Rather thick
4.- Color: Opaque off-white
5.- Scent: Sweet and fruity
6.- Price at time of review: 16oz = $ 14.99
7.- Manufacturer: DP
9.- Made in: USA
Other Products Used:
16x16 MF
Preparation:
Foamed and 2 bucket washed with CG Citrus Wash & Clear. Dried with WW MF. Clayed with clay substitute sponge & ONR (clay lube dilution). The paint (except for the black roof) was swirl free so decided to use Megs D151 with Flex 3401 + LC CCS Green & PCXP + 4" LC Flat Orange on the small areas just to clean it up a bit.
Application:
Having learned from BF Wet Diamond Spray Wax, I applied very sparingly to surface. I used very short bursts and spread with MF. Wiped off immediately.
Pros:
1.- Easy to control
2.- Very fast application
3.- Left very high gloss finish
4.- Nice smell
???:
1.- Durability. I don't know but will monitor.
Cons:
1.- None I've found.
Does it meet its claims? Yes.
Final Observations and Summary:
On the Mini in the sun, you almost couldn't look at the car - the gloss was that intense. Here are some pics:
"How does it compare with Blackfire Wet Diamond Spray Wax?" I hear you asking. Its application is faster because you don't wait for it to haze. It smells better. It dusts less. It is even a buck less expensive. But I like the look of BF a little better. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, too, but I like BF better. Could be the difference in the base colors of the cars (my Harbor Gray Sonata v. Pure Silver Mini) or the underlying sealants (BF WDAFPP v. Megs D151) but it was dripping wet v. pure gloss. Chalk it up to aesthetics. YMMV with color and preference.
"Is it worth buying?" Absolutely.
