i've only used mcguires and it worked well. i used the spray wax and quick polish. it can be a little annoying with the wax though since its spraying everywhere, it gets in all the nooks and crannies. also, gotta be careful around the windows. they are nice and quick though, last pretty good.

I use Meguiar's quick detailer. Has worked good for me as long as I've been using it. GM Finnish Enhancer also works pretty good.

its a little pricey but its worth it.

i use meguiars quick detailer. but if you're planning on using it when it gets all dusty instead of using it after a carwash it's not a good idea, cause it will create swirl marks.

Meguiar's quick detail, stuff is pretty good

fyi dont polish and wax your car then use a quick detailer, a quick detailer is meant to literally quick detail your car after a wash or if you havent had a wax for awhile

Sprayed some of that Mcguires quick detail on during lunch today and im impressed. Guess i found the answer to my question. Now I need to find a good tire shine , this black magic isnt cutting it anymore.

I actually like Armor All's Tire Shine it does really good on my tires...it does tend to gunk up the tire if you let it dry out too long...I haven't seen any bad side effects on the side walls from it either.

I used to use the foam stuff, now they have it in a liquid form which is much easier to use...just spray it on and wipe it
