There are hundreds of them.

I like Zaino Z6 and Z8, Adam's Detail Spray, Clearkote Quik Shine, Meguiar's Final Inspection #34, Mother's Showtime, Wolfgang Detail Spritz, etc.

I'm quite partial to Clearkote's Quickshine...makes the paint slick, and is easy to work with.

I typically use whatever product is the companion product for the wax or sealant I'm currently using. For example, if I'm using Zaino, I'll use Z6, Blackfire gets Blackfire's spray, Menzerna FMJ gets Menzerna's Acrylic spray, etc.

I have used several, Mothers, Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss, and NXT. NXT is by far the best one Ive used. The Turtle wax one was ok, and the mothers left a crappy *** haze all over the car. I pretty much use NXT everything, Soap, Wax, Spray Wax, and Detailer. IMO NXT is a pretty good line of goods.

Final Inspection, but I'm getting ready to dump my entire collection of detailing crap for the NXT line. I love the wax.

I love that stuff also.

Does the NTX wash strip off NTX wax?
