That's another thing about the Quick Detailer - it seems to dissolve bug guts pretty good.

i have used the meguires NXT on them as well as a waterless drywash n guard on them with no hazing. it does however make them a little semi gloss but i like the effect. |

I use NXT 2.0 and Ultimate quick detailer. For off the shelf products it is cost effective and does a great job with little effort. Makes my ABM look great. I wax twice a year and use the ultimate quick detailer after every wash.

Canadian tire has it. I picked up some of the quick detailer today as well. Love the shine have had a couple of compliments. Does it bead water like the bottle claims ?
I waxed my stripes and they looked 200% better than before. Hard to get off glass but nothing a little window cleaner won't take off.

They're both really good products, however, I find the Deep Crystal is more readily available, and half the price than the other one, at least around here.

I used the Tech Wax before, but then I switched to "Liquid Glass". This stuff is relly great, the car doesn't look much different than with Tech Wax, but the shine will last several weeks or months. But it depends on how many layers of Liquid Glass you put on the car. The more, the deeper the gloss and the longer it lasts. It is fixed by "frying" in the sun Here is an example of Liquid Glass on my other ride:

Let me first say that I DO wash my car, as mentioned, with Meguiars Deep Crystal carwash. However, between washes, I found this waterless product, about 5yrs ago, that for me works wonders. I used it on my vette, on my truck, and even on the Camaro 2yrs ago.
It disappeared for about a year, but now it's back. Yes, the product was purchased on The Shopping Channel, and I believe it's exclusive to them ONLY. The product is call "Professor Amos THE BOM". It's safe for all car finishes, and can be used on ALL other surfaces. You don't have to worry about plastic trim, or chrome etc. like the old conventional waxes. It does wonders on my white stripes, it makes them shine more than brand new, and even takes out the swirl marks on them. As for the rest of the car it makes it shine and feel smoother than when brand new. Like I said, I wouldn't promote it if it didn't work, you can try it for yourself if you want. The best thing about buying ANYTHING from The Shopping Channel, is there 30day money back guarantee, NO QUESTIONS ASKED! They just brought back "THE BOM" back this month, so I stocked up and bought 3 bottles. Here's the link to the site & product for you to read up on, and I've even put my opinion in the "reviews & ratings" section. http://www.theshoppingchannel.com/pa...s?nav=R:508014

Mothers products are great too, I've used the liquud carnuba wax (sample size from goodie bag) and it's amazing.
