I'm sure if there are new products out but what is the best ? Ive been using Dodo tropical, chemical Guys ,and Megs . any others that are better? :undecided:
-
I personally use megs final inspection no. 34 and i think its great.. would also like to know if there anything better out there :smiley:
-
i use Z8 on mine. only for special occasions though such as shows
-
The best in which sense - protection, ease of use, value for money? I currently use Meg Last Touch but thinking of trying Finsh Kare next.
-
As above and the results were very good, but I bought this a couple of years ago and it was loads cheaper. There might be something better out there now.

If you buy the big bottle you might also want one of these.

Yes all of the above really, esp the shine and protection :undecided:. I'm sure there are more new products out ??

Whats the Z8 like any good ?
-
from the four that meguiars do, their ultimate quik detailer is the best, beads water better than most, final inpection is good but im finding that i have to go round the car and rebuff as it leaves residue, maybe its the way i choose to apply it
dodo juice RM is what i want to try next so cant comment on other detailers
-
I find DJRM to be a PITA :grin:
-
This gets a lot of good feedback although its not something I have ever used, I'm not a big user of QD's !

real real good mate. gives a shine like no other. blast megs products out the water. it is also a sealant so gives the shine and protection at the same time so use this every month after a wash inbetween details(winter detail, summer detail) and it should last you around 12 months. its expensive(£20) but well worth it mate

Indeed this is true spray heads were crap and still are :rolleyes:
-
i found RM too oily for my liking, plus the head broke 2 mins after buying a new one off dodo at GTI inters last year lol
-
Heard mixed reports about DJRM so never tried it. Zaino Z8 is a top product again though, never used it but it's definately next to try.
I use Chemical Guys V7 Hybrid and find it ace. Compatible with the rest of the CG stuff I have on the car but would like to try it back to back with Z8 and also on top of Z6.

How do you use a quick detailer ?
-
Generally it's a spray on then wipe/ buff off thing, a lot of people use them to get that just waxed look back after a couple of days but i use it if i can't be arsed to wax after washing!
-
I use it to top up my wax , when its had a quick jet wash get rid of all the dust first and top up :cool:

Cheers, sounds as much work as waxing I use dodo juice wax and it only takes about 20mins.
-
I found megs ultimate the best off the shelf stuff and a personal favorite.
I do also use Finishkare 425. Its a good anti-static detailer. Worked well when driving on the dusty track at a show. Could notice the difference against the other cars.

Spray head is a crap though!
-
Optimum Instant Detailer for me. You can buy a concentrate too, making it superb VFM
-
I have 2 i use on most of my details Finishkare 425 and Chemical Guys V7, both leave a cracking finish and smell lush. I sometimes find that the V7 can be a little fussy if your not using it on top of another Chemical Guys product but nothing to drastic.

Meguiars Last Touch Spray Detailer - 1 Gallon just bought this today and was well impressed with the results very nice reflection £24 well spent :cool:
