The spray is convienient but it doesn't offer the same level of protection that a typical rub on wax does. I like using the spray wax after I wash my car between waxing. For example, I will wax my EVO every other month and spray way once or twice a month after washes. Nothing beats clay and real waxing.

^^ true, but it is pretty decent
i used it for the 1st time today, that fw1 cleaning stuff i picked up at the gas station.
cleaned my windows, body, and rims with it. it looks extremely good for using no water whatsoever

I think your talking about instant detailer and its great for little jobs and for claybaring, but doing the whole car with the same towel can scratch/swirl the car cause the dirt and contaminants are still there when you wipe the next panel.

i used meguiars quik detailer for sometime and just switched to their ultimate quik detailer and holy ****!!!!

you should try this out, its a great product to use between waxes
it repels water way better than the normal quik detailer

Listen to this guy, these speed detailers are for a quick touch up only after a wash on a well maintained finish or lubrication when using a claybar

that stuff is really really good. I had given up thinking that my bumper would be black cause of the catless exhaust, I used this and it made look like new. Wax had not worked in getting that out. But i wouldnt use this spray to do the whole car dont know why but i prefer good ol fashioned paste wax. I have never used a clay bar, i heard it makes the car shine a lot better, im buying that soon too see how it works out.
