For the quick washes (not the huge wax job's), what is your most recommended gloss/shine spray?

(I ask because I recently purchased Meguiar's Carnauba Wash/Wax and love it. I also love their Quik Carnauba Wax Spray, but I was a little disappointed when after a 30 minute drive, I again saw dust and whatnot already adhered to the surface after doing 60mph. Is there anything that you'd recommend to make the surface super-slick, such as something else or something in addition, without the hassle of the more time-consuming "buffer" wax jobs?)

By far my favorite is The Chemical Guys Hybrid V07 Detailer spray...Really, truly, spray and wipe high gloss!


HYBRID V7- Optical Select-High Gloss Spray Sealant & Detailer (16oz) (http://www.chemicalguys.com/HYBRID_V7_Optical_Select_High_Gloss_Spray_Sealant_p/wac_808_16.htm)

I was turned onto "Invisible Glass" by several members on this forum. I would highly recommend it.

I dont believe that there is any product on the market that will not allow dust to adhere to your car...especially after driving it. My 392 has a coat of Adams paint sealant, Glaze and 2 coats of americana wax. Some dust is always going to stick to the car unless your car is a garage queen. But the minute its outside alls fair in dust and war lol.

Please note - this product is for glass only. I would not recommend using it as a "detailing spray". :silly:

I don't have a long history of detailing, but have found regular old Meguiars Quick Detailer does well (Ultimate QD doesn't seem that much better).

Don't know if you have an SRT or not, but it's well known that the OEM Brembo pads create a virtual "Pig Pen cloud" (the Peanuts character,) every time you hit the brakes. I mean, visual brake dust coverage after a mile of driving - wipe your finger across the back bumper & it's black - amounts of dust. Various different pad suggestions in the past - though personally I can't quite economically justify an entire set of pads for this reason.

Also - this time of year - pollen & all - rain starting to slow down here in the south - it's probably just gonna be dusty.

Additionally - if you have a black car - welcome to ocd hell. ;)

I love Fukken Wax...

I have a black ram and this stuff is amazing...only problem is you have to order it. But its well worth the wait.

Its great for everything...last week it took off white paint from road repainting
And its amazing as a "every week" waxing...to help between the main hard waxing.

There is a few other dodge forums that live by this stuff. (dont know all the rules about posting links so not posting)

Please note - this product is for glass only. I would not recommend using it as a "detailing spray". :silly:


I misread the original post. I thought he was looking for a "glass" spray, not a "gloss" spray :werd:

Dust is going to stick to the surface no matter what you use. Here's a couple of products that I use with awesome results.
This: Adam's Detail Spray - Quick Detailer (http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-45-adams-detail-spray.aspx)
or this: Adam's Waterless Car Wash (http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-440-adams-waterless-car-wash.aspx)

Both are great.

I've had good results with Lucas Slickmist and SCG Speed Demon. Lucas is the cheaper of the two.

Griots garage speed shine. This stuff is amazing.

Although I am a total Adams Polishes user I still use slick mist on the wifes SUV its a great Product!!!

Ok, I'll be the first Zaino freak on this thread. Zaino Z-6 gloss enhancer spray or z-8 grand finale spray seal.

www.zainostore.com (http://www.zainostore.com)

Once you use these products, you will never turn back. They also say the z-6 has a static reducer in it to repel dust. Seems to work for me. Two huge thumbs up! :bigthumb: :bigthumb:

Zaino!! Of all I have ever used this seems to be the best.

I really like Finish Kare 425 detailer/body shine. I've used other detailers but this one seemed to hold up better. Also, it is the only thing I use on my flat black stripes.

For the quick washes (not the huge wax job's), what is your most recommended gloss/shine spray?

(I ask because I recently purchased Meguiar's Carnauba Wash/Wax and love it. I also love their Quik Carnauba Wax Spray, but I was a little disappointed when after a 30 minute drive, I again saw dust and whatnot already adhered to the surface after doing 60mph. Is there anything that you'd recommend to make the surface super-slick, such as something else or something in addition, without the hassle of the more time-consuming "buffer" wax jobs?)

Does the paint surface not feel smooth after you wash it? If so, then I would suggest cleaning it with a clay bar, which will remove any embedded contaminants. Also, are you using any wax / sealant besides just the Quik Carnuba Spray? Most quality sealants will make the paint surface much more slick, and will provide much longer lasting protection to the paint when compared to using just a spray wax. Apply a thin coat of a sealant after the clay bar to lay down a solid base of protection.

If you like the Megs products you are using, then you could just periodically add a clay bar and sealant to your routine, and continue using the spray wax in between for "maintenance" cleaning.

Ultimately dust and dirt are unavoidable, and can be more or less problematic depending on where you live, time of year, color paint, etc...

Have you tried using Meguirers Ultimate Detail Spray after waxing and then using it weekly? Like their advertising states, "it is the missing link between washing and waxing."

The finish on my Hemi-orange SRT is super glossy and slick after using Meguires NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and Ultimate Detail Spray. My car always gets compliments on its mirror-like finish.

Seeing is believing. Look at this photo.

Painter's trick; Endust

Endust misted on a lint-free cloth; use very light pressure when wiping painted surfaces. Removes dust on a relatively clean car and provides anti-repellent action that lasts for a few days.

I really like Finish Kare 425 detailer/body shine. I've used other detailers but this one seemed to hold up better. Also, it is the only thing I use on my flat black stripes. ....FK425 is one of my personal favorites as well but I never really noticed the anti-static properties raved about by many of the users. I'm not saying it doesn't work in this respect, just not as notably different than other QD's/QW's I have tried. In either case it's a great product.

My all-time favorite product I use as a benchmark is Duragloss Aquawax. As bubba-proof as I might consider FK to be, AW is even better in this regard (i.e. no residue/streaking on glass, etc.). I'm really interested in using their new rinseless product that has AW in it. If it's as user friendly as AW, a gallon should make quite a bit of product for my QD purposes.

So far, I love the ones that I'm using, I am just looking for something that may be even better. I've heard great things about Zaino, but they have a million different products to choose from (which overall is a good thing). I was looking at the Z-8 spray, but can I put that directly on after the Meguiar's wash/wax?

The setup that I have now (Meg's wash/wax then Wax spray with carnauba after) makes it feel very smooth (and being a 2012, it has an extremely
small amount of micro scratches). This is what it looks like 2 days after, and the most recent day was a serious rain storm (I didn't wipe it down at all, air dried while I was at work.) still looks pretty good. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8798931@N03/7252395608

My only reservation about the Quik Detail spray's is the lack of water, or washing it before applying it. I know it says that you can "spray it on, without water", but that seems very foreign and the possibility of dragging some dirt/road crap over the surface with a simple spray frightens me. :)

You can safely apply a detail spray over a slightly dusty car without any probems. If you stop to think about it, the detail spray is basically a lubricant, just like soap. That's why your paint will not be scratched.

I've heard great things about Zaino, but they have a million different products to choose from (which overall is a good thing). I was looking at the Z-8 spray, but can I put that directly on after the Meguiar's wash/wax? Yes, you can. However, I don’t know how well the formulation of the Z-8 will play with the Meguiars. Unless you’re using the Z-8 with other Zaino products, I wouldn’t waste my money on it (IMO). That’s not to say it’s a bad product (I have used it myself) but I just don’t think it’s worth it in this scenario.

I know it says that you can "spray it on, without water", but that seems very foreign and the possibility of dragging some dirt/road crap over the surface with a simple spray frightens me. :) I actually agree with you and it concerns me as well. …..which is why I avoid using them for this purpose.

Personally, I would much rather use a rinseless or waterless product intended for cleaning vehicles that are actually dirty. I keep a gallon of Optimum No Rinse on hand for times that my car may not be dirty enough to wash but still has some dust I want to remove. I mix an appropriate amount with 3-4 gallons of water and proceed to wipe down each panel.

In either case, technique and the quality of the towels you use are just as important as the product itself. With QD’s, rinseless products, etc., I always use several towels (folded in quarters) for one car. ….frequently turning over to a new side after the initial, gentle wipe and grabbing a new one as needed (repeating as I go over one section at a time). My line of thinking is that if some debris/contaminant (which may have the potential to mar) gets caught in the towel, I will minimize the risk of damage I might cause. Frankly, 99% of the time I will just use forced air to blow off a dusty car and live with whatever doesn’t come off until I get the chance to wash it. Simply doing this and cleaning the glass plus the wheels goes a long way to making the car look relatively clean again.

Any time you touch the paint there is a chance you can mar the finish. There are things you can do to help mitigate those risks (substantially in some cases) but the chance is always there even with good products, tools and techniques. Sometimes it's a matter of compromise.

If my car is relatively clean (light coat of dust) then I will use a duster and then use a detail product. I dust my car everyday unless there was was a lot of moisture in the air that evening and dried the dust into the paint; then it is time for another quick wash and detail spray. I have used several and they all seem pretty much the same to me; I like them all, but like turtle wax ice becasue you can use it in the sun.

I like zaino products. Works better on 14 year old black truck than I dreamed possible. Makes tungsten rt look great too.

I get home, park in shade, use zaino detail spray and mf towel and skip washing. It is so slick that most dust blows off.

Ditto from another Z-freak!

What would be the best Zaino products to start out with? I have been using Meguirers and not to thrilled with them so far. From the research I was doing online was thinking of getting:
Z-AIO
Z-6
Z-16

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have never used the z-aio so I cannot comment for or against it. If you are not happy with your current shine/ product. And you would like to give Zaino a shot, I would start from scratch to promote maximum adhesion and protection. Otherwise you would be applying it over something you are already not happy with.

My suggestion would be to wash the entire car with dish soap or a wax stripping soap. Then check for contaminants in the paint and clay bar the car if they are found. Otherwise give the car an entire coat of z-6 then mix yourself up some z-5 with zfx and do a light coat of that. Remember an ounce or so should be good for our entire car one coat. Then when you are happy with getting rid of the swirl marks. coat the car again with z-6 and apply a final coat of z-2 with zfx and stand back and put your sunglasses on.

As far as there tire shine goes. I love it and higly recommend it. It's not overly greasy like a used car lot uses and does not sling. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Shockwav86 for your advice. I have placed my order! Can't wait to see the results!

No problem. Let me know how you make out. I can't tell you how many times I have "sold" people on the zaino family of products. I should be a comissioned salesman by now. Sal if you are out there think it over. I just reread my last post and just wanted to clear up something I thought was a bit confusing about the z-5. Keep adding coats of it until you are happy with the eradication of the swirl marks. But always finish with z-2. It has higher optical quality than the z-5.

I have used a lot of quick detailers/spray and wipe type products,most high end ones are good. A few months ago i made my own and I must humbly admit it is the best I have ever used. I got the idea from a old Cuban guy who had a lot of fine old Chevys, many with original paint and chrome. His cars looked like new, so I thought he must be doing something right, and it's not that expensive either!

I first use a duster on my car to get the dust off,then i use WIZARDS MIST N SHINE,professional detailer,leaves a deep slick shine,Wizards has alot of great products. I also use Wizards SHINE MASTER polish & breathable sealant,really leaves a show gloss.

I use Quality Aerosols Waterless Wash and Wax and have not lost. Car show I have been in yet. Everyone thinks that I have a custom paint job, but it is the original paint. The product is fantastic and you can order it from Quality Aerosols at 678-494-1112. They ship the same day. Try it you won't be sorry.

Duragloss Wet Wax for sure. Tried a ton, Zaino bros, Meguiars, Zymol and the 9 dollar bottle of wet wax was the best spray on wipe off wax ever. And very very easy to use

I finally found something that really works on our cheap plastic trim/interior parts and rubber around the windows/door seals called Vinylex - this stuff will blow your socks off.

Do you mean Duragloss Aquawax?

That was my thought as well. DG makes several good products and AW is one of my favorites as well. Removes very easily from all surfaces I have used it on including glass, trim, paint, etc. Some other ones I use/like are Finish Kare 425 and Optimum No Rinse (diluted to QD strength).

DG just came out with their own rinseless wash a couple of months ago that I still want to try. ....it contains Aquawax so I'm curious if it performs the same.

What about Turtle Wax ICE? I bought a bottle because the store did not have anything else that I'd want to use on my car. I know it may not be high end...but I was pleasantly please with its ease of use. You can spray it on the trim, windows, rims and tires. It has been about a month and water still beads...and amazingly brake dust does not adhere as much!

Thanks

I was thinking about this a little earlier and after reading what was posted here, I was thinking of getting some zanio z-6 to use. My only concern is how will it effect the matte black classic stripes? Can anyone tell me if it works well with them?

For quick washes/wipe down I use Turtle Wax ICE Synthetic spray detailer.. love this stuff, I go through bottles of it.

For a super quick wax I use Lucas Slick Mist... amazing results and smells like bubblegum :)

Matte black will stay matte black with Zaino Z-6 or even using their Z-8 Grand Finale spray. It shouldn't really help or hurt them.

I use zaino specifically for the black stripes. I was told that regular wax will get under those stripes and lift them. The zaino products are a sealer. They will seal the black stripe tape. I have been using for 2 years now.

I am a turtle ice black box fan myself. of course having a black or grey vehicle helps.

Meguires Ultimate Detail Spray for these reasons:

1. Fantastic shine
2. Ease of Use
3. Price (around $10 a bottle)
4. Available in almost every auto parts store

I did exactly as you said and can say that I am amazed!!! I felt like the paint was very delicate, now its feels like it is protected.

I love the z-6 gloss spray. Use it every other wash or as needed. Next order will try the z-8!!
Thank You for all the Zaino-Freaks out there!!! There is a reason for it as I am now one of them!!!

I'm glad you are happy. I really wish I got a kickback for turning people onto this phenomenal product. I would be a millionaire by now. Wait until you see how long it stays like that. Keep layering it on and you will see how deep it gets. The grand finale spray will enhance it even further. Glad to have another Zaino freak out there!! :D

....just be aware that Z-5 is actually masking any blemishes you may see being diminished or seemingly "disappearing" after it's use. As time goes on and the product wears off, those blemishes will come back (along with any new ones you may introduce).

Z-AIO will provide some light corrective action and Z-PC will provide a little more (if you want to go that route) but there is nothing wrong with using other polishes for this purpose (just make sure to remove any polishing oils with a wipe-down or prep wash). While I don't use Zaino products as much as I used to, I still find myself grabbing Z-AIO for various tasks (especially quick one-step details, restoring some types of trim, etc.). ....probably more so than Klasse AIO for this purpose (Z-AIO is more aggressive by comparison).

With consecutive applications, keep in mind that Sal recommends only 3 within a 12 (or is it 24 hr?) period of time when using his Zfx activated product.

It is no more than 3 in a 24 hour period with a minimum of 15 minutes for each applied coat to dry before removing.

Any sealer or synthetic wax that is not an "all in one" product will do the same thing. Some much better than others. Why be abrasive when fillers can do the job on minimal scratches. One of the basic rules of detailing and paint care is to start with the least invasive process/ product first.

Also, nothing lasts forever, so its always necessary to reapply once you see the product wearing off.

Chemical Guys V4 Hybrid.

I've owned a few auto detailing shops over the years and nothing comes close to its gloss and protection.

I’m afraid you're taking some of my remarks as a knock against the product when that really wasn’t my intention.

Any sealer or synthetic wax that is not an "all in one" product will do the same thing. Some much better than others.

I disagree. Especially clear sealants like Optimum Opti-Seal, Ultima PGP, Zaino’s own Z-CS and Z-2, any of the newer nano/permanent coatings, etc. Not many LSP’s I have tried do a good job of hiding scratches IMO/IME. Z-5 is formulated specifically for this reason (to help hide some minor blemishes). While it does fairly well at this (IMO/IME), it does have it limits. Heck, that is why I used it years ago (and still do in some cases). ….to extend my time between full corrections.

Why be abrasive when fillers can do the job on minimal scratches.

I agree but it really depends on your goals/expectations, the time/effort you’re willing to devote to reach those, tools available, location, abilities, etc. Fillers (for this purpose) have their place but not everyone is going to be satisfied with just covering some of their blemishes up. ….they may also be looking to get that extra clarity, depth, etc. that correction can provide in the end result.

One of the basic rules of detailing and paint care is to start with the least invasive process/ product first. ……”to get the job done”. "Use the least aggressive products/methods to get the job done".

Again, the job/goal will dictate the methods/products/tools you use. For example, when correcting, don’t grab a heavy cut compound when a finishing polish will do. Why remove more paint when the result from the lighter polish is satisfactory? The same can be applied to what you are describing if simply filling some of the blemishes meets your satisfaction. This is why I always encourage folks to tape off a ~1’x1’ test section (using painters tape) on a panel so they can experiment with their products before committing to the entire vehicle. Even when I’m confident in the products/pads I’m using, I will still do this myself. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen folks who spent hours toiling away in their garage (with inadequate lighting) only to be upset by the result when the pull the car out under the sun.

Also, nothing lasts forever, so its always necessary to reapply once you see the product wearing off.

My only purpose for pointing out wear in this case is that it will reveal the blemishes that were previously hidden. ….just so she knows what to expect (ie. so she doesn’t think she’s introducing a bunch of new ones). I was hearing terms like “remove” to describe Z-5’s masking ability so I just wanted to help clarify that the product has absolutely no corrective ability. I also mentioned the Z-AIO, Z-PC and correction in general just in case she was ever interested in pursuing that course.

Zaino makes some good products that I have used over the years myself (and still do in some cases). IMO/IME, they still stack up quite well compared to some other newer technologies/products I have tried/used/use. In the end, it really depends on what you’re looking for in a product/solution and whether it works for you.

One thing about Zaino products is, as good as they are, they do not react well to the majority of other products such as waxes, polishes and/or toppers. To use other products to their full potential, the existing Zaino coating would have to be removed from the surface of the paint to allow the non Zaino product to properly bond to the painted surface.

Been using Zaino for years on Corvettes and loved it. Did 3 coats with 2 ounces Z5, with ten drops XFX, gloss enhancer between each coat and Grand Finale at the end.

Griots garage speed shine. This stuff is amazing.

I love this stuff as well !!!

I've had good results with Lucas Slickmist and SCG Speed Demon. Lucas is the cheaper of the two.

I have tried tons of them, with my prior favorite being the Meguires spray wax. It looks great going on, but actually attracts dust. I found if you use it ( and yes, I know it sounds backwards) to use the detailer first, then the wax, then the detailer again after. I noticed that there was way less dust accumulation doing it that was with Meguires.

I have since switched to the Lucas slickmist, it works great without so much hassle.

In either case, I have found that going to the car wash and only using the R.O. water to rinse ( even if the car is only dusty, and not dirty) first really helps the dust level longer. I think that the water kills static buildup or something along those lines, because the I can go days longer if I add this step.

Griots garage speed shine. This stuff is amazing.
X2 like this stuff sooo much I gave my Zaino products to my brother in law. I also use Griots best of show wax.

Anybody remember Astro Shield? My dad dabbled as a dealer for them some years ago & just gave me all he had left tonight. NOS 32 oz. cans of them in perfect condition - they have always been in his heated basement since new. PM me if you are interested in a can or two.

GOOGLE "Astro Shield Polish" & read up on this stuff. Supposed to be pretty amazing stuff.

And what might the secrect recipe be? I would like to try it!!

unfortunately some of the main ingredients arent things you can run down to the store and buy,its like LUCAS slickmist but the main ingredients cause it to have a longer lasting effect,especially on the rubber and plastic trim.i wish it wasnt such a hassle to market this stuff because it only cost me about $1 per 24 oz to make,which is a lot less expensive than store bought detailers.one of the best things i like about it is now i rarely have to wash my car and bugs dont stick.

Ive been using Turtle Wax Quickshine (the stuff in the green squirt bottle) on all my cars for maybe the last decade. Takes about 15 mins max to do the whole car, looks great and protects pretty well. No need to spend megabucks on other stuff.

Many of these other products do not cost "megabucks" by comparison to something like TW Express Shine. In fact, products like Duragloss Aquawax can even be purchased by the gallon which can drastically reduce your cost per oz if that's a concern. Even a product like FK425 only costs 31 cents per ounce compared to TW at 34 cents per ounce (using the price I see WM has it at online....$5.47 for a 16 oz bottle). ....the price I used on the FK product is at full value. DG AW by comparison (@ $35 per gal at full price) is only 27 cents per ounce. ....quite a better deal if you ask me.

I'm not saying TW ES is a bad product (I've never tried it), but to suggest everything else is priced much higher by comparison is inaccurate. ....and just the opposite in some cases even for products you can buy in bulk size (like the two I mentioned) that get rave reviews from both enthusiasts and professional in the detailing community.

Over the years, I've tried just about every top brand including Zaino, Meguires, etc.

Long story short, and with all due respect to others who have "testified" as to their favorite products.nothing, but nothing has ever work better for me than "Poorboy's World Gloss & Detail Spray."

It's fantastic, and I frequently own black cars !!

Over the years, I've tried just about every top brand including Zaino, Meguires, etc.

Long story short, and with all due respect to others who have "testified" as to their favorite products.nothing, but nothing has ever work better for me than "Poorboy's World Gloss & Detail Spray."

It's fantastic, and I frequently own black cars !!

I use their Blackhole Show Glaze.I also use their detailing apron. Poorboys has good products.

I like to park my car outside during a sand storm. This gets it the cleanest possible. Gets rid of all that pesky shiney paint stuff.

I use their Blackhole Show Glaze.I also use their detailing apron. Poorboys has good products.

I agree entirely, Freddy. the whole product line is excellent. I too use, and highly, recommended the "Black Hole" glaze - it's terrific.

And although I'm a big fan of Collinite Carnauba paste was, Poorboy's "Natty Blue" doesn't disappoint either - especially on black.

optimum instant detailer for an instant detailer
and DG aquawax for a spray wax...

I 'm a reformed Zaino user. I now get excellent results with the Adams Quick Sealant and Brilliant Glaze. Both are quick wipe on/wipe off gloss enhancers/protectants.

I've always got good results from Mothers products..

Have you tried using Meguirers Ultimate Detail Spray after waxing and then using it weekly? Like their advertising states, "it is the missing link between washing and waxing."

The finish on my Hemi-orange SRT is super glossy and slick after using Meguires NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and Ultimate Detail Spray. My car always gets compliments on its mirror-like finish.

Seeing is believing. Look at this photo.

100% agreed! I LOVE this stuff! Between waxing I can just rinse, dry, spray and wipe with a microfiber towel. LOOKS AMAZING! Perfect for water spots. I constantly get compliments. I just used it after a water sprinkler got the front bumper of my car on Monday. All I did was spray the bumper and wipe it down. Looks great!

They sell it at Walmart, Target, and any Automotive stores. :clap:
