Detail spray
Looking for some opinions on detail spray to get off bugs and other road items in between washes. I have used 3M and Adam's in the past but wanting opinions on the top of the line best working ones?

Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer works for me.

I don't recommend using a detail spray to remove bugs between washes. A waterless/rinseless wash would be far safer.
For detail spray I use P&S BeadMaker on cars that aren't coated with ceramic and CarPro Reload on those that are, which isn't a traditional detail spray but that's what I use and how I use it. |

I use Rain-X waterless wash that I get from Wal-Mart and it works wonder on the bugs, good thing that love bug season is pretty much done here in Louisiana, well at least in neck of the woods.

A quick detailer is just something to swipe on to give a sacrificial and superficial layer of "protection" and shine. So one will encapsulate, lift, and remove dirt (quality of product plays a role, as does technique) and the other will simply "protect" for a week/until the next wash and make it look glossier with a superficial layer of gloss enhancers. Both of the products I mentioned above provide actual protection and water beading properties (P&S doesn't last long, though) so there is that. Do a rinseless / waterless wash and follow with the above. |

and while we're here, I will say in this situation I would wash my car using a traditional two-bucket method for the best results and protection when removing bugs.

Follow The Museum Rule = The less you touch a thing, the longer it lasts.
Bugs or Tar: Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover. Don't need anything else more fancy that this stuff. Follow the directions and it works perfectly.
Bird droppings: Garden hose on "jet" setting. Don't ever wipe a bird dropping, it might have small rocks in it. Other random road dust, usually on the splitter and rockers picked up day-of when driving to a show or C&C: Carpro Reload, diluted into 5 parts distilled water my case b/c my car has a hydrophobic coating. Sprayed onto a plush 500 g/sm Eagle Edgeless MF towel. I never wipe any part of the car that doesn't already have PPF on it, I don't care how dirty it is. I'll just wash the car. |

Good info. For sure I always use the 2 bucket method.

I use a waterless wash in place of detail spray. I don't really see the point of detail spray anymore IMO.

I like Ech20 because it can be used in several different ways. You can mix it as a detailer, you can mix it as a rinseless wash, or mix it with a few other things to come up with a sealer…(merlins elixir)
Here’s one of the best: Car pro ech02 https://www.amazon.com/CarPro-ECH2O-.../dp/B076KNF38C |
