Product description:
For those that are not aware, Autogeek has become the exclusive distributor of the Jay Leno`s Garage line.
The first thing I did when I received the bottle was open it up and smell it. I was greeted with a pleasant aroma. It has an orange scent to it. My dad said it reminded him of orange juice. For me it reminded me of those 50/50 ice cream bars. Brought back memories when I smelled it.
The next thing I noticed are the labels. The labels are real nice on these bottles. The graphics are nice and the print is legible and easy to read. As shown on the front label, this is a polymer detail spray that provides maximum shine. So I take this as the detail spray leaving some sort of protection behind.
The small photo on the product page states this as well
I turned my attention to the rear of the bottle. It states what surfaces it can be used on. It also has the directions on it which are straight forward.
The way I used this was as a drying aid and after on dry paint. I used it on my dad`s 2015 Impala. The Impala has Optimum Gloss Coat on it. I washed it with ONR. As I was drying it, I used the JLG Quick Detailer as a drying aid. It performed very well. It made drying even easier but it also left the paint slick.
I also tried it on dry paint. I dried the surface that was wet with ONR. I came back with JLG Quick Detailer. Again it left the paint slick. Slickness was equal with both methods.
I would recommend to give it a good shake to mix all those polymers prior to using it.
Once I was done I stepped back and admired the nice shine the JLG Quick Detailer left behind on top of the slick surface. See the photos below
I used it on the chrome grille and chrome mirror covers with no problems. No problems using it on the trim. No issues with it on glass either. It was streak free on all surfaces. I even used it in the sun with no issues. I tried to get it to streak but the quick detailer melts into the paint and flashes to the point where it is completely off the surface prior to buffing to a high gloss. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked and how easy it was to use.
The con I see with this product is that the quick detailer market is saturated with a lot of great products. Meaning it will get lost in the mix of all of the other great products. Not to mention the countless waterless wash products that are available that can do the same thing.
Overall I would rate my experience using it on the positive side. It was straight forward to use. It smells great. But I was pleasantly surprised at the slickness and shine it left behind. Same goes for the ease of use. I would definitely recommend others to try it and give it a shot. At $10 it`s worth trying out. I am definitely going to reach for it again and use it.
Thanks for reading.
