Quick detail question -- need help

Looking for recommendations for a quick detail product. After I wash my C63 and dry it off I want to apply a quick detail liquid that you just wipe on, no buffing.

I want something that is available at any auto supply store.

Thanks.

C63

Try Optimum Car Wax and Optimum Instant Detailer. Duragloss Aquawax is also pretty good.

Use McGuiar Ultimate Quick Detailer.. Works well between washes/waxes!

I usually spray Meguire Quick Detailer as Im drying the car after a wash. It acts as a lubricant between the microfiber towel and water left over from the wash and leaves a shine to it

+1... I used Mothers quick detailer before, but I must say that McGuiar's is much better: Removes spots very quickly and the shine it leaves is excellent.

Thanks. Just what I needed. Ordered a couple bottles from Amazon.

Got the McGuir's Qwik Detailer today. Shook the bottle before applying. Unfortunately the product seems like water, goes on like water, and the result is just like applying water. Maybe the contents were substituted with H2O ??? I find this is all too common.

I just started using McGuiar's and it's not bad. The first bottle I bought must have been tampered with.

I've also heard great things about Griott's Garage Quick Detail. Ordered some from Amazon. Expect Griotts may be better.

Thanks to all for the useful recommendations.

Recommended for plastic only. Streaks on painted surfaces.

I use that on the plastic panels on my Ducati. I wouldn't recommend using it on a car unless it's like a fiberglass Vette.

Try Griots Garage instant detailer. Order it online from their website. The bottles come with a metal seal over the mouth of the bottle so it cannot be tampered with. It is a very fine product. TwinCam
