I have been reading about QDs, (did a search and read a few threads) and it seems quickshine and aquawax are the most liked around here.

So far, it seems like aquawax is the way I am going to go because its also a sealant, so its yet another layer of potection. But my question is, which QD would be the best for a really wet look?

I dont need durability, for that I will use a sealant. Just looking for extreme wet shine, like butter has been rubbed all over the car :) (in the form of a QD of course) .

Although i never used before CLEARKOTES QUIK SHINE and I have NOW taken advantage of the sale A.G.is presenting..;) .....my favorite as of now is

FINISH KARE'S 425.......:)
 
DG Aquawax......not really a quick detailer but you can use it as one and add further protection and gloss. I second Bills recommendation for Quickshine or FinishKare 425.
 
Clearkote Quickshone without a doubt. Its magic in a bottle!!

Not to mention it is made to clean and dress all outside surfaces :D

Can't wait to try it out...........:)
 
If Clearkote Quick Shine is so good and popular here, why isn't AG going to continue selling it?

I have never used QS myself, but I really like DG Aquawax. I also like Adam's Detail spray when the car is a little dirty.

Not enough of the product line is being sold from what I understand. Which is weird cause lots of people love and use quickshine, vanilla moose hand glaz, and red machine hand glaze.

I've read some not so nice reviews on their speed detailer I beleive it was streaking on folks. Megs #34 final inspection is a great OTC QD and you can find it at Napa Bumper to Bumper and the like.
 
ahh, i noticed this too, but with another MF it end up nice
 
For a qd'er I would say Poorboys Spray and Gloss, Clearkote Quickshine, and Duragloss Fast Clean and Shine (really like this stuff). For a qd'er+ Duragloss AW or Finishkare 425, AW does have more durability then 425 though, before I redid my sisters car I had it on there and it beaded water off for over a month and still was before I stripped it down to do EX-P and Collinite 915.

Grab Quickshine while its on sale and last here though, agree though. Not sure why it didn't sell strongly. On other forums like auto etc everyone seems to always talk about the line and lots of people were buying it, obviously from other sites, I don't think many people realized AG carried it except for mainly the people on here.

I've got 1/2 dozen items like this including newly acquired Aqua Wax. I still find myself going to FK # 425 for instant gratification. Spray & Gloss, AW, and FK FX-100 last longer but for instant pop #425 is tops in my book.

:iagree: :cheers:
 
Based on what I am reading here I think I am going to try aquawax, quikshine, and 425 for myself and see how it goes. When they get here, I am going to do what I have done with QDers in the past which is make thin lines with saran wrap and do sections of the hood in each to see the shine difference. When I do this I will make sure to take a pic.

Just remember AquaWax isn't really a qd'er moreso an excellent qd'er+ that has good durability, its a spray sealant but has a look that works great over waxes and bonds well. After you first use it, wait about a day to see the full effect. Quickshine is what I would consider a great qd'er, good cleaning and gloss. I just think a lot of people seem to confuse AW for a quick detailer, if you want Duragloss qd'er their Fast Clean and Shine is great.
