Default Quick Detailers

In a totally subjective opinion, I would love to know if either one of these products is better than the other.
I have a 2019 ES350 in Matador Red.

A) 303 Quick Car Detailer
or
B) Maguiar's G14422 Ultimate Quik Detailer

So if anyone wants to chime in on my Detailing post, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks.
I use Meguiar's and find it to be easy and effective and producing a high gloss shine. Another product that I use (was given to me) and was surprised how good it was is Turtle Wax synthetic spray wax. IMO this is even better than Meguiar's. Goes on easily and, more important, comes off very easily. Excellent shine that lasts. I use 303 protectorant for the black plastic parts on the car such as the rear valance on the 2019 and on my previous 2013 mud guards. I've not used 303 quick detailer. You'll probably get a lot of replies here with members all stating that theirs is the best. It's all a matter of choice and, as you say, very subjective.

I lean towards Gary Dean's ultimate use detail juice, it's cheap and works on pretty much anything. Not to mention I can mix it at different concentrations depending on how strong I want to use it.

Regular ONR, same dilution as for washing, only in in a spray bottle. Spray lightly on on a microfiber and wipe down. Spray on a makeup brush for tight areas. No need for additional products unless you'd just prefer a specialty product. Be careful with some of those gloss products, particularly anything petroleum-based. They should not be used on your infotainment screen. Many of them also vaporize and cause build-up on your interior glass.

Thanks for providing further understanding. Although, I should have indicated that I'm just looking for something to shine up the exterior paint, without having to do a wash or just to get water/rain spots off.

Turtle Wax Ice (not the old green Turtle Wax) is my current favorite. Mequiars Ultimate Fast Finish and Mequiars Hybrid Ceramic are also good. If money is no object, there is a plethora of products out there to research.

Cool All I Need To Say....

My new go-to / all time fave = Ammo Products. Beats ONR application and shine quality hands down!
My Ammo Thread - Guess people thought I meant "Ammunition" and passed over it!

I have used several and feel they all do a decent job but do not replace a regular wash and wax, don’t last long. Meguiar s gold class and Griot’s speed shine are probably my favorites. I have a car duster which I always use before using any quick detailer. Just remember any grit or dirt on the paint when you use these can scratch.


I have also used several more expensive products (Zaino for one) and although they work great I don’t feel they are with the extra $

I too am a fan of GG's speed shine, but after using detail juice I've converted over.

Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer is my go to product, although lately I've been using Kenotek Showroom Shine and Bead Maker (not necessarily promoted as a detailer) and both of these provide very good results. I'll probably keep all three on hand mainly because I'm fickle.

I think Meguiar's Last Touch D15501 is under the radar. I primarily use it as a drying aid. It leaves behind great gloss and a week or two of protection. Great value for the price even if you don't dilute it.

I like the Kenotec just because it's so easy to remove. It's the easiest wipe off I've ever used. I also like to use Adam's H20 G&G combined with their Ceramic Boost.

I only use ONRWW and I want to know what are the best Towels to use for this? Can you guys agree on a GO TO Towel for ONRWW?

Thanks in advance.
