title pretty much sums it up

I have used 2 different brands as my go to detailers sprays

CG v07 and car brite show and shine

Both work ok, and im fine with using them, but just curious what you guy have good luck with in a detailers spray that is in bulk (gallon size)

Looking for a new product just to remove finger prints, dust, maybe bird poop (but something that wont strip wax either)


Just curious what you use
 
Meguiar's M34 Mirror Glaze Final Inspection. Great stuff and it's affordable.

Another very cost effective option for the tasks that you describe would be Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR.) You can make 4 gallons of quick detailer for $16 or less with the 32oz bottle.
 
I've used Meguiar's M34 Final Inspection for almost 20 years.

I just picked up a couple gallons of Optimum No Rinse, and I understand that when mixed a certain way it makes an excellent detail spray.

I buy three of Meguiars detail sprays by the gallon. I use the Mirror Glaze M34 Final Inspection detail spray as a basic detailer spray and clay bar lubricant.

•As much as I like products such as Meguiar's M34, D155, D156...Nowadays I'm wanting much more economical QDs/Detail Sprays.

•For that:
-I use Meguiar's D114 @ 1:128.

-That's 128 gallons of QD/Detail Spray for (currently) $32.00.

-That's $0.25 (twenty-five cents) per gallon, for a QD/Detail Spray:

A QD/Detail Spray that will perform as...IMHO...a true detailer should: "Clean" (detail)...without leaving anything behind that will interfere with vehicles' LSPs. :xyxthumbs:

I have D114 in my arsenal, but I love the smell of D155 too much to give up on it. :laughing:
 
seems everybody tends to agree that meguires is the way to go

I will do more research into it

thanks guys
 
XMT Final Finish instant detailer is also pretty good and inexpensive.
 
Just to throw in another option, i have been using FK425 from Finish Kare. Love it and happy i do...i bought a gallon for about $30. I use maybe an ounce, ounce and a half as a QD spruce up after a wash and dry. Works out to maybe 25-30 cents a use.

I just finished a 16 oz bottle of Pinnacle Crystal Mist and that stuff blew me away. At $30 per 16 oz it is a little too steep for me and i used up that bottle on my car only. Worked out to about $2.00-$2.50 each use. Looked absolutely stunning on my BFWD LSP. Customers get FK425.

FK425 really gives a great look. It's just costly for bulk use. Im with you that it looks just sick though!
 
I have Meguiar's M34 and Meguiar's M135 for QD's.
 
- Meg's D114 when cleaning only is needed.
- Meg's M135 or UWW+ when extra shine and/or slickness is needed.
- Pinnacle WW with Carnauba when my LSP is a wax.
 
I have used ONR as a detail with good results. And like mentioned it is really cheep.
Also M34 is a great choice as well.
Not sure if Griots speed shine is available in bulk but its towards the top of my list next to Pinnacle Crystal Mist.
 
I use BFMSID, bought a gallon when on sale. I love it!
 
D114 is perfect for coatings and ridiculously inexpensive. Great cleaning.
 
About a year and a half ago, I found some stuff at the local 99 cent store called "Pro Power Mist & Wipe Detailer" that sells for $1 a 24 ounce bottle. I was skeptical about it at first, but I've used it quite a bit since then, and at one point, bought 4 bottles of the stuff to put in the stash.

The bottle itself is cheap weak plastic and the sprayer is awful, but I pour it into a Home Depot sprayer and it works pretty darn well. Have not had any problems yet, but I think when what's left in my stash runs out, I'm going to give either ONR or Megs D155 a try and compare.
 
I`ve streamlined. Ultima Waterless Wash + is an amazing waterless wash as well as quick detailer spray and window cleaner.
 
Wait for Advance Auto to d/c some line. Got a gallon of Megs FI & Griots QD 4 $10.
