You won't find another detail spray that wipes off as easy as Kenotek. The only negative I can give it is, it doesn't smell as good as other sprays. You should't be disapointed!

Reason: misspelled
My favorite is currently Slick Mist. Been using it for about 3 years now. I try 2-3 different brands a year because the companies are always pitching something "new and improved".
I also liked BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun spray. But it cost at least twice as much as Slick Mist so I quit buying it.
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.
I use BLACKFIRE Midnight Sun and there other products exclusively including their Carnauba clear wax ($100) small can but have used it regularly for 3 years and still have half left. I am the type that loves to wax, it is my enjoyment, and a quality wax can give a deeper looking shine than the new ceramic coatings that shine like glass on the surface and last much longer than waxes.

Same here. Nothing makes my Electron Blue paint look more wet or deep than a good carnauba wax. My C5Z is a fair weather toy that I detail often, so a ceramic coating does not appeal to me. To keep the color popping between washes and waxes, I use carnauba spray waxes to add some protection and gloss. Both the Griot's Garage "Best of Show" spray wax and the Optimum Polymer Technologies spray wax are my go-tos.
My daily driver is the one that I would consider getting ceramic-coated. I current use good synthetic sealants and synthetic spray waxes on her.
I have a bottle on the way as well. After your recommendation, I saw a few more reviews on a Facebook detailing page. Everyone seems to love it, so I took advantage of a 25% off Autogeek sale.

You got me hooked now. Thanks for the recommendation. Still sticking with the Zaino Clear Sealant for a base but this Kenotek is clearly a superior QD. Pardon the cell phone pics.

Let me begin by saying that I am a detailing junky. I read this thread and thought why not try that Kenotek stuff because I had never heard of it before (it's made in Belgium). Got it last week and it is really over the top with the shine. I used it on my new C7 and my wife's CTS and it is as good as stated above. I think I have most of the stuff from Chemical Guys and Adams who I both really like but this stuff is now right beside them. The application is a little different than the others. I have found that you spray, rub lightly into the paint with micro fiber towel to spread, and then buff with a clean microfiber towel.
I will not normally suggest something unless I have used it extensively. If I've tried something and liked it, but haven't had time to really play with it, I will say so as well.
I am an avid Zaino user. But decided to give the Kenotek a try. All I can say is wow. My navy blue vert really pops. Like others have said I will still use Zaino CS as a base but will switch over to kenotek as my go to QD.
As I had said in a reply to this thread several weeks ago, I used Wizards products with great results.
But after reading a lot of people’s opinion of Adams products I decided to order a bunch...
The H20 Guard I guess I could take it or leave it, the quick detailer (the pink stuff) seems to go on and off very easy but does anyone else notice the dust it seems to attract?!?
Its unbelievable and for me personally I’m done using it, no quick detailer I’ve used has had that effect.
Im going to try Kenotek and see if it’s as good as everyone says.
I have 1 1/2 bottles of Adams quick detailer if anyone local wants it otherwise I’m throwing it away.

Glad you like it. I also noticed the Kenotek seems to repel dust better than other quick detailers. Ive heard that claim before and never found any that kept the dust down. This really seems to work.
just put some z8 on one vette a couple days ago . i'm always amazed at the lack of dust that occurs after using it . that being said , gonna buy some kenotek for my birthday present next month . . peace

I will say Adams Waterless Wash is awesome!
I have the H20 and Adam's spray. The spray doesn't wipe off nearly as easy as Kenotek. H20 is a great product but tends to ruin rags you use to wipe it off with. I don't really think there's a product that repels dust much better than anything else. It's part of driving a car in the elements.
Yeah, the Adam's detailer does seem to attract dust. The Meguiar's Last Touch seems to do a better job, really. Especially when you consider the HUGE price difference between them. A gallon of the Meguiar's is like $19. The Meg's is my general-purpose detailer that is always in my garage.
The Kenotek detailer definitely does a good job of repelling dust! I have been impressed with it so far, other than the scent being a bit rank. Seems to add some temporary gloss, too. However, I am still extremely happy with the Chemical Guys Extreme Slick Synthetic detailer. It also has added anti-static ingredients that repel dust, and it smells really nice. I liked it so much that I bought a gallon. It will likely be my go-to detailer I take to car shows with me. Like their VRP dressing, one of CG's better products, IMHO. Grab a 16oz bottle off Amazon for $9 and try it out!
Any recommendations to remove aphid poop? I think it's euphemistically referred to as honeydew, and it's tough to remove. I end up using my fingernail, which can't be good.
I have a sample of Adam's QD and I like it, but it's not dissolving the spots. I've tried Meguiar's QD and I didn't like it enough to repurchase.

Most likely, you need something that will loosen/dissolve organic stuff like bugs and dookie. I have had good luck with Honest Wash "Bug Delete", but I did recently order Kenotek's "Anti-Insect" that should work just as well.
