What's your "go to" detail spray?

[sahls01gmc]

I'm just about out of my detail spray, and I need to get something pretty soon. What I use it for is right after the wash to enhance the overall shine while drying, and also for when I clay the vehicles.

 

Here's my stable, and what my "needs" are:

 

2 daily drivers that see normal use on the roads.

1 truck that sits in the driveway most of it's time now.

 

I love the smell and results of Adam's detail spray, but the price is what stops me from re-ordering right away. It's very versatile for what I use it for. One of the things I love about Adam's products is how they DON'T have thousands of products that all do similar things (chemical guys get me too overwhelmed to buy anything with all of the options they have). I'm looking for a gallon sized refill jug, and I noticed Meguiar's has a detail spray that cost about as much for a gallon as Adam's 16oz bottle! I'd hate to purchase that and not be pleased with the results. While researching other detail sprays, chemical guy's came up many times but they have way too many options for me to make a decision.....but their prices aren't too terrible.

 

 

What do you guys think?

I still have a bunch of the Meguiars that I've been happy using for years. I currently use their stuff as well as the Adam's. I think you'd be happy with either.

I'll admit, I was gun shy about getting Adam's shampoo. But I have yet to find 1 review that was less than favorable, and the dilution ratio probably means it will be cheaper in the long run vs the Meguiar's Wash and Wax I've been using for years.

 

Expensive, yes. But man, they are good products!

I still love Clearkote QuikShine. It works great on paint, glass and chrome.

I have used a ton of different brands. I like and use Adams exclusively.

 

And no I am not an Adams fanboy, I use multiple products

Adams hands down, I detail a lot of cars. best I've ever used, no streaking ever. Can not talk it up enough.

Ryan, I hear ya on using different products. That's why I wanted to ask around here to see what everyone liked. I know I'll be going with Collinite wax once I burn through all of mine.

 

Some of you guys are throwing out some names I haven't heard of before, so I might see if I can find a small size and try them out. Thank you for offering up your ideas!

I have used Mequiars on all my trucks, always have. I have had buddies that use the higher class products like Adam's, but I just like the convenience of going to the local auto parts store when I run out of detailing supplies. Also, for my DD truck I can't see paying the extra money for the higher end products. Now if I had a toy in the garage like Ryan's Camaro, I would be stocking up on Adam's. My stuff is well taken care of and I get a lot of compliments on how nice my truck and my wife's Equinox look quite often. So long story short, I believe the poor boys detailing products work well too haha.

I have a local Adams guy who I buy from. It's nice plus get a discount

Your better off buying the Adams quick detail in gallon containers.

Adams here. I had used the Meguiar's quick detailer in the past.
