Auto Finesse Finale, FK 425 and GTechniq C2 Diluted 20:1 are all very good quick detailers that i have used  :happy2:

Megs Quick detailer isn't bad either. :happy2:

Funnily enough I was looking to get a quick detailer today as only yesterday I gave my car the full works wash clay polish and wax and today she's already looking dusty :-( so would be ideal to give it a once over with detailer.
I'll keep an eye out in this thread.

+1 for Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical.

Goes a long way, performs well and smells lovely

Megs last touch. Just never got on with red mist. No idea what the tropical version is like.

I use CG Speed Wipe on everything!! Smells great and has loads of different uses!

Auto Finesse Final is good stuff too. IMO avoid Red Mist on a Dark coloured car because if you don't buff it off completely it will stay sticky and your car will end up covered in dust!  :scared:

Awaits flaming - I spray Demon Shine after a wash and rinse and then blow my car with a leaf blower. Takes about 10 minutes and looks great

Another vote for Megs. I get it in 5litre packs from Keith @ Washshop. Works beautifully on my black car :happy2:

Nowt wrong with that, it's what I do :happy2:

Meg's quick detailer is very good and will do just as well as 99% of any other quick detailer available :happy2:

Also

Dodo Red Mist is not strictly a quick detailer as it has no cleansing properties at all, its basically a quick protection top up :happy2: Saying that though I love the stuff and is one of the two Dodo products I would recommend.

If you have a slightly dusty car or water spots after washing use Meg's detailer, If you have a clean car and want to top up wax etc use Red mist which would probably gives a week or two protection :wink:
