Meguiar's X-Press Spray Wax after washes as a wax extender/detailer.
Meguiar's Last Touch Spray Detailer between washes and at car shows.

Have 2 bottles of Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss being shipped to me. I would also like to try a bottle of Hydrosilex Recharge in the near future.
H2O Guard &Gloss is an excellent product, and probably my favorite between major clean and shine sessions . BUT it's not a detail spray. It's designed to be used on a clean and wet car as you dry. It reacts with the water to provide protection and shine .

I love it, and the scent is addictive. In fact, all of Meguiar's professional-line stuff smells awesome. LOL

Best detail spray I've ever tried. Incredibly easy to wipe off, I'll be getting a gallon of it when my bottle runs out.

Best bang for the buck product, amazing how it enhances gloss! Try Ceramic Boost over the top of it, you'll be amazed!

I’ve used Wizards products for years on my motorcycles and street rods, now my Corvette.

Mist n Shine is their spray detailer and it’s the best I’ve seen and I know it doesn’t matter but it smells fantastic!

I only use quick detailers & rinseless wash on my car.

Wolfgang Uber rinseless wash is my favorite, lots of gloss & very slick finish.

Zaino Z-8 is my favorite detailer, looks best on dark colored cars but my silver has a certain glow about it.

These two in combination one after the other, has my vote.

I use Wolfgang Uber as a detail spray and am very happy with it also.

I use Adams products exclusively, my latest experience from them was their ceramic wheel coating, a terrific product for painted wheels

ronkh57, I think you're a Zaino fan - do you use the Kenotek over the Zaino?
Thanks,
Tony

Hands down I think Kenotek is easier to work with than any other spray I've ever used. I'll never use anything else.

To Detail Spray, is there really a difference?

I’ve been using mostly Adams products the last few years and really like them. I use their QD to help when drying after a wash.
I also really like Chemical Guys V7. It leaves a nice slick shine.
I like a lot of CG stuff but find they have a lot of what seem like overlapping products and items sometimes confusing to zero in on things to order.

I am a Chemical Guys fan, but I agree with you. Way too many overlapping products. For detail sprays, I have settled on their Extreme Slick Synthetic and the V7. A lot of CG stuff seems very "consumer grade" to me, but they do have quite a few products that are of professional quality. They have some glazes that I really like, and the Jet Seal has worked well for me. I would be lying if I said I didn't have a bunch of their interior air fresheners. They have the best scents! LOL
