Do you use it everyday? Just don't want to create MORE work for myself having to clay or IPA it off and having to redo everything.

I used it anytime the car was dusty. Two things I really liked about it, it smelled great and it wasnt a magnet for dust after wiping down the car.

Great stuff. I've been detailing my cars for many years and the Surf City products are some of the best I've come across.

Pinnacle Crystal Mist is very good but quite expensive. Dodo Juice makes a very good detail spray that I like better than Pinnacle.

I just bought a gal. of Meguiar's Last Touch Detail spray and like it and am going to stay with it for now.

Yes. Great stuff. Expensive, but worth it. I do like Zaino Z6 and Z8 also.

I absolutely love Crystal Mist. I just stocked up from auto geeks 20% off and free shipping last week. The shine and smell are addictive though, lol. My current routine is Wolfgang uber waterless wash, then the crystal mist detail spray. Really pulls out the tin coat in my machine silver.

Bingo. It all depends on what you like. Whether it's the best is debatable. There is no one best at everything. I use several that I really like for different reasons. The Kenotek is one of the better all arounds.

Lol To me, a good spray detailer should create the appearance of a freshly detailed car with minimal effort. It should wipe off easily without smearing and streaking and enhance the shine as though you spent hours laboring over the car.

I just bought a gallon of Wolfgang Uber Rinseless that I'm going to mix up into detail spray and give a shot.

I also have some leftover Z8 and some ONR mixed. It's hard to beat the price for detail sprays made from rinseless washes.

Now that is more like it. You have a define set of parameters and look for the product that fits those needs. Again whether it's the best is subjective,but currently is the best for you.
You may go to the head of the class.
For some it's the shine,other's the longevity,others the beading,other's the ease,etc,etc

For me it's the shine. I use mostly Adams products and they have been great for me. I love rubbing on my car and since i'm 64 it's about the only thing I get to rub on alot at this stage of the game.

'Best' is so subjective.

I've used all of these and I keep coming back to Liquid Glass, Chadwick's, and Wizard's. Gloss-It is not bad either.
