great question :

Quick Detailer -- designed as a quick cleaning product. It has a light soap and lubrication to help with minor cleaning. (ie birdie doo doo)

Detail Spray --- this spray is often a gloss based or polymer based spray that adds to the looks and is temporary in design. It is used after each wash and day of the show type activities. No cleaning ...

Spray Sealant / Spray Wax -- these products often combine the Detail Spray with some protection to last longer. Most products have NO cleaning and NO polishing ability so best used on good paint . These products are great after washing to extend the time between traditional waxing and washing. --some soaps now have this included in them, calling themselves wash/wax soaps.

Boosters -- boosters are often designed much like spray wax/sealant in that they boost or enhance the original wax or sealant product. They are used to also extend the original wax product. These products are often designed with the same ingredients as the original wax and work together to "boost" the original coat.

As with all car care products, the names are sometimes used interchangeably. It is best to read the description of the product and how the manufacturer suggests using it. Some products can be finicky when used on different brands, some can streak, and some maybe more difficult to remove than others. When in doubt visit a car care forum and do a search on the product(s) being considered and read the reviews from professionals and weekend detailers alike. Sometimes there are quick hints to really amplify the results also.
Thats good info thanks for the reply. I just had a sealant put on the new C7 so Im guessing a good detail spray is all I really need now for awhile? Its a DD so cant really keep it show room like but want to protect it as much as possiible.

Detail Spray for good looks indeed ... or a booster to keep building the protection, which is always good for DD.

. . . and it leaves your car lemony fresh.
