I know this gets asked alot and ive done searches etc, just havnt found exactly what im looking for.



My favorite QD to date is zaino Z-6, its rather expensive but works great. Im curently using tropi-care Tc-5 great results but like the Z-6 better it makes the paint feel slicker and also is much slicker going on the paint.



Does any have any experience with the z-6 but found somthing that works as good but can be bought for a lesser price and also bought in gallon size.



Thanks for the help, any input is appreciated.

I personally haven't used the Crystal Mist, but have read that it looks great over Souveran.
 
I use Meguiar's Last Touch for all carnauba LSP's. For sealants, I'm pretty much a "by-the-system" user...Z-6 for Zaino, Instant Detail Spray for WG, S&G for EX-P, etc. This is not a hard set rule...I've just always bought the corresponding QD to try out when I've bought a sealant. However due to great reviews, Finish Kare's 425 has got me interested in terms of a "go-to" QD.



I've never been enamored with ONR as a QD - although I really like using it as a rinseless wash - For a QD, it cleans well but it does not leave the surface as slick nor with the "QD-shine" that I'm use to. I will say that it is by far the most economical QD out there.



I've tried the old version of Pinnacle Crystal Mist (before it was termed a "spray wax") and it is a great product - very nice finish and slickness that goes hand in hand with Souveran. But it's very expensive to use when compared to other QD/SW products (~$80 a gallon:faint: )

I like Crystal Mist, but primarily reserve it for use with Souveran just because it's so pricey. I also think of it more as a booster for maintenance between waxings rather than a QD. I would never use it, for example, to clean bird droppings or as a general spot cleaner. That's what SW, QS, 425 and the like are for.
 
I use 425, Arexons Speed Polish, ONR (for dusting & cleaning), Victoria Wax QD, Mothers Showtime, but I use the more substantial products as OCW, Z8 and FX-100 for quick touchups too.
 
I use Sonus Acrylic Spritz with the Klasse twins/Werkstatt twins.



- Duragloss 921 Fast Clean and Shine with Duragloss; and



- Eagle One Wipe and Shine for general, all around use.
 
Well, like most PB users, I've been hooked on S&W since my first bottle. I also have a bottle of ONR mixed, but it gets duty mainly as a clay lube or for wheels, as I still reach for the S&W 9 out of 10 times. I also use S&G as a gloss booster occasionally.
 
I think what you'll find and what this thread already demonstrates is that there are lots of good QDs out there and a few excellent ones.



However, there is no single QD that is right for every person and/or every situation.
 
Griot's Speed Shine, Adam's Detail Spray, Clearkote Quik Shine, Sonus Acrylic Spritz, and Poorboy's Spray & Wipe are the ones I find myself using more than any other, and I have tried plenty.



I do like Z6 over Zaino, but as much QD as I go through, it's not too economical. I have found NXT Speed Detailer works okay over Zaino.
 
I checked out the FK1 425 on thier website. If it does what most claim it can do then that should be a very good choice IMO $27 for a gallon. The QD im using now is the Tropi-Care Tc-5 and it was 40 for a gallon and im not over impressed with it to say the least.
