I use Mequires? Looks good but you have to dry it immediately.

I've tried a lot of them, and I would rank them as follows:

1) Turtle Wax ICE
2) Meguiar's Quick Detailer
3) Meguiar's NXT Spray Wax (works well, but has to be buffed by hand)
4) Turtle Wax Express Shine

I used Nano Wax before, and didn't like it due to the residue. I'm not a fan of the Dupont Teflon Spray Wax either due to the white residue and having to buff it.

I find the Zanio version to be the easiest but I also use Meguiar's when I'm out of Zanio with good results, it just takes more work.

PoorBoys World makes both a Spray and Wipe which is a good surface cleaner with a microfiber towel and Spray and Gloss which really adds pop to the shine.

Zaino also makes a very good detailer.

I love Mothers. I actually spray it on the windows and it lets the rain run right off.

I use Meguiar's too, not bad, can't say I've played with much else, I don't use it after ever wash either, but when I do, I like it.

Depends on what I am trying to accomplish with it ..

If I am doing a QD to remove some dust, then I will use one of several, Meg's, PB's,

If I am more concerned with finishing look after doing a detail, I will almost always grab FK-425

Prima Slick.
You won't want anything else after this.

not good at all to use as a quick detailer, as it has nowhere near enough lubricity .. but I haven't found anything I like better for a finished look, especially on darker colors. and it doesn't get as dusty as some other spray detailers.

I don't use any spray waxes .. have never seen the need .. you can put another coat of carnauba on by spending just a few more minutes ..
