Alpinaman Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 The best i have tried (and i have tried most) is Sonax brilliant shine detailer... It is quite awesome... Followed closely by 50 cal stealth detailer.... Which can be bought cheaply in 5 lt tub..... Comes with a free bottle that has a great spray nozzle on.

mr v6 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I've been using Autosmart Reglaze for years, although now replaced by a newer product. 1L bottle, use 25ml of product to roughly 1L of water, meaning you can get 40L of QD for around £12.

Richf Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I really like the Optimum one , use it a lot at shows , you mix it with water and it goes a long way http://www.optimumcarcare.com/oidet.php?li=4 I use BSD as well though , the Optimum is easier to use as the BSD can be a little sticky but both are good products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 You're using too much. Also BSD isn't really a QD, so it's better to treat it, and use it, as a spray sealant. Use it sparingly, small sections at a time, spray onto the cloth, wipe overy the panel and buff immediately. You should be doing this with any QD anyway though. Simoniz however is just sh*t. Almost anything (almost!) will be better. Bouncers Done and Dusted is by far the best I've tried myself, that said I'm not a huge fan of QD's in general anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's grabby as ****. I tend to spritz it on the wet panel and then towel dry as normal to avoid this, you still get nice protection. When it runs out and if you have a pressure washer and want something dead simple to use, with good protection results, forget the QD and go for Gyeon Wet Coat. It works by magic. Edit: I also like EcoTouch Quick Wax - a total doddle to use. https://www.eco-touch.co.uk/collections/car-care-products/products/quick-wax 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
