[@wills_details]

Sonax BSD in winter and fall, Gyeon Quick Detailer in summer and spring. The Gyeon QD delivers on extra gloss even on light colored cars.

[@thinkforyourself5672]

I use detailers solely for drying aids to cut down potential swirls. My favorite at the moment is DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss. Ridiculous slickness and a legitimate glow especially on darker paints but there is a lot of great one's Phoenix Titan, TW Ceramic Wet Wax, Lithium Ignite after wash, Lithium Color Crush, Xtreme Solutions Topper, Apex BC3, Apex Re-Hydra sheet.

[@ForensicDetailing]

Hard to justify any of those really. Use BH qd mixed 1 to 20 with di water. This qd also contains charged polymer to reduce scratches. But you can mix up a litre for like 50p. A Litre of the ones you list is like 20 quid or more.

[@joshuatester8197]

ONR as a spot cleaner, light interior cleaner, glass cleaner, drying aid, water softener. It's economical, smells great, and super concentrated.

[@thesean68]

Koch Chemie FSE for me… just easy to use and great in the summer. Reasonable as well price wise.

[@daveallsopp320]

Gyeon ceramic detailer on top of wet coat🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽

[@thomasdeluca754]

Wolfgang sio2 rinseless. 3oz to a gallon makes a terrific detailer. Slick as snot and great gloss.✨

[@jamesbartlett5005]

GT QD or SIGMA are both amazing for ease of use/protection. Sigma I can testify, deepens the tornado red on my golf and even the missus comments on the beading

[@kevinb7058]

I like the Tac System Aqua waterless 2:1 p/water and the Garage Therapy qd

[@MrSquidge75]

Love BH QD, bought some after your recommendation in another video. Great to use and smells fantastic!

[@billsheehy1660]

I use Autoglym and or Meguires, its a minefield to me. There are so many products out there. I am about to order the BH product as the way you demonstrated it works really well for me. I look after 4 cars at home, so makes for easy and effective results. My kids think cars just stay clean FFS 😃😃😃 (my choice by the way)

[@MetalVII]

I use Done and Dusted SI from Bouncer Wax. I like it, gives nice gloss and adds to the hydrophobic properties of the wax it is sitting on. I am aware that this channel has reviewed SI in a comparison and didn’t score the highest but as someone that cleans for fun and enjoys having a clean and shiny car I’m happy with it :)

[@BarryCoombs1]

Really liking Gyeon’s Ceramic Detailer over the top their Wet Coat. Looking something more permanent that Wet Coat but don’t have a garage to be able to do a proper ceramic coating.

[@awpdevil]

Couple stand outs I've liked is Nova Boost, and Koch-chemie Qs.

[@cheesehead4180]

Nova boost is amazing

[@freemoyoyo]

Another vote here for the bouncers done and dusted si02, so easy to work with, leaves a lovely finish, amazing beading and lasts for ages.

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

Great video John, you can't beat concentrated products. Such good value.

[@johnstuart2941]

Currently using Infinity Wax Rapid Detailer, easy to use and leaves a really clean gloss finish. I have only ever used it as a after wash coat but really happy with it 👍🏻

[@Mogsy28uk]

for me, IW Rapid Detailer or AM Details QD+, all good as QD, but also good drying aids and used all over car (even bathroom). Love the slick & glossy finish, and tops up the LSP too.

[@MoM-yd8eb]

I use the Rapid Detailer from Infinity Wax. I like the smell and the finish

[@gs_mick]

I use Carbon Collective Rapide on my mum’s car as it has a 5 year Carbon Collective ceramic coating on it so thought it wise to stick to the same brand. Great product for all the areas you mentioned, plus smells great too

[@simongibbs3936]

I’ve recently started using Feynlab Pure Rinseless for those light cleaning jobs where you don’t want to get all the gear out and finishing with Feynlab Touchless Ceramic, used like a QD/drying aid. At £72/L it seems very expensive but diluted at 10:1 it works great and you only need a small amount per panel.

[@BlackFlag94]

I don't often use a QD but I do have a few. My preferred one is Alien Magic Ceramic Detailer if I need to put some beadage back onto high traffic areas but I have also got their Graphene QD which is labelled their bead monster to try. I did use an SiO2 detailer on my cars interior previously and it was absolutely fantastic! such a silky satin finish on everything and it prevented finger prints on the touch screen for a while.

[@Audittr2108]

I have a few favourites but one that I rate and is rarely ever mentioned anywhere is Sansom Boosted. A doddle to use, very versatile and leaves decent protection that’s a great beader.

[@Geeky_detail_reviews]

I’m loving the Adam’s QD at the min limited edition due to the amazing scent and gloss

[@benhook1850]

My go to is Wax Planet Allure ceramic detailer. No streaking if you go easy on the application and it lasts around 4 months. Can’t fault it. Visibly darkens the panel too on black paintwork.

[@olivernorth8839]

Tac Systems Aqua Wash and then Phoenix Titan for slickness and outstanding gloss both have served me well for the last 12 months

[@yoof01]

I have tons of bottles of Angelwax QED in the garage, in my first order (after watching your brand review) I ordered about 4 and they threw an extra one in free. Every order since I get one in free 😂 hence the stash! The first time I used it I hurled it on as you’d say, and noticed lots of streaking and smearing. I emailed and they just said to make sure I was using it as per the instructions which said to use it on a dry car. The newer bottles in the garage have subtly different instructions, I only spotted this recently, and it recommends applying to a wet car now… a light bulb came on when I spotted this and I tried it again - superb. So standard ops now is to wash the car then spray this on one area at a time and then dry with a drying towel. It gives a lovely oily slick feel to drying, and the gloss afterwards is lovely, the water repellency is lovely too, quite beady. Clearly no change in recipe since I’m still on with the early bottles having given up on it so soon, so I suspect it needs watering down really, or applying with water on the car, but it really is a standard thing now - love it, finally!

[@ForensicDetailing]

that was like 5 years ago I did that review :)

[@DrNookie21]

I’m probably doing it wrong or using the wrong product by after a full wash and dry I use a QD(Megs ultimate quick retailer) to deliver a hand buff which really transforms the finish. Probably due to living in a hard water area maybe but it’s a really essential to use it to get that proper shine (there’s a base lay of wax down anyway btw).

[@thingsido6067]

I very like Angelwax QED on a wet car as a supposed "drying aid" the car looks very reflective afterwards, subtle but noticeable. Also the Enigma QED once a month gives it some extra beading, but can be a bit smeary if you apply to much. Nowadays Angelwax have this Atomic QED which should have graphene in it but didn't try that one yet. Mitchel&King has his QD which is very slick and can go nearly on anything. In the summer time or when I have waterspots I use Koch Chemie FSE, applied on the proven "John Technique" (great vid btw John!!), waterspots gone and a shiny surface instead. There are so many, and in my opinion it has become the detailers wine or whiskey collection 😂

[@hamish856]

Hi John l have just started using a company called Mitchell and King who have a QD that can be used in various applications. Leaves a nice finish

[@JR-rr7mx]

The original bouncers D&D (on your recommendation) it smells amazing and I just use it to gloss up the panels after washing I’m fairly sure it leaves some protection behind.

[@therushden]

Usually use a qd to aid drying. BH or car chem.

[@warriormonx]

Bead maker my absolute favourite

[@audieconrad8995]

Hi John, good easy informative content. For my purposes I really like the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic 3-in-1 Detailer. It checks all the boxes AND 👈🏼 here in the States it is $12-15 for a 32 oz. [946ml.] spray bottle. A Yankee bargain! Shine on you crazy diamond!

[@davidboyce6427]

Hi Jon I use Lithium Color Crush , Turtle Wax Ice spray or Flex Wax Graphene or Phoenix EOD all as drying aids. There so many I’ve tried it becomes overwhelming: Adam’s Graphene detail spray, Meguairs Gold spray wax , TW Iced Seal and Shine. I’m pretty satisfied with all of them. No matter if they cause streaking I just knock it down with squirts of water👍

[@squarebid3]

I use EZ gloss boss easy to apply and buff off leaves a lovely shine

[@valetspecialist4239]

Love using 2 things: A drying aid like turtle wax ceramic wet wax cause its just quick to apply and leaves a slick to the touch finish. Meguirs ultimate spray wax - very pleasant to use cause its so easy to apply and leaves an amazing gloss 🤘😯

[@tonyosullivan2382]

The first minute's story is exactly why I wouldn't get a true ceramic coating. I'm like you, I use BHQD. but I have another few, angelwax enigma qd for one. I actually watered it down slightly as well and it transforms the detail spray. It's beautiful to apply now with unreal gloss and lovely juicy beads 😁, which is perfect for the winter months.

[@alexhs899]

My favorite is Sonax BSD dilluted it with water 2:1. It is hydrophobic and with good durability. My second favorite is Dodo Juice - Quick detailer. It works and like waterless wash. It gives a nice gloss to the car paint. You can use it in the car paint and interior to the plastics. Koch-Chemie QF is another QD i use. Easy to use it and with good price.

[@martinbrennan1327]

Mix Sonax BSD and Dodo Juice neat - absolutely mint :)

[@mikethomas8782]

Ordered 2 bilt hamber 500ml a while ago and used one of them neat wanting full blown gloss but it was hard work. I completely forgot I had them so I've knocked them down as per your advice at 1:9 and it again today, what a difference !! Seems like a completely different product, thanks Jon

[@ForensicDetailing]

yer its too concentrated neat. works great 1:9 even works good 1:20 as rinse aid mist it all over the car librerally and towel it down.

[@christianolsen2192]

Cartec Fast Glaze is also great. Such a breeze to use.

[@howardsmith8723]

I like BHQD, I still have some Autoglym QD left and that is good. Powermaxed QD brings up my carbon bike really well. I find some other QDs are nearer to sealants so are not quite as easy to work with and not the type of product I need as a QD.

[@NickLaslett]

Thank you for clarifying that the Jerry cans were from Lab Unlimited at 10:50 minutes into the video. Just another example of you attention to detail and helpfulness to your audience.

[@andygriffiths9916]

Bilt Hamber for me. Plus the odd guilty bottle of Demon 😆

[@mrwarkey]

Never knew about the company until you done a review on Bouncers. I got their Done and Dusted SI02 one and fell in love with it. Unfortunately I got an email from them a few weeks ago to say they were going out of business so I grabbed 10ltrs of it so that’ll do me for a while. It’s a shame, great products for very cheap.

[@kuba7875]

You should really try Apex BC3 detail spray, my another favourite is gyeon ceramic quick detailer 😍

[@Steve19055]

Use my waxaddict fo’show detail spray after every wash. Since im using their waxes i prefeer to use their other products to lay on top.

[@kevkav5680]

Sonax BSD for me , even diluted 1-3 it performs brilliant!

[@karl3927]

Completely agree with you. BSD is a fantastic product especially when it's diluted 1:3 with water.

[@paulwithers2511]

BSD diluted 50:50 works great for me

[@ognenmancevski4210]

After Sonax BSD now I'm into Sonax Ceramic Ultra Slick Detailer :) Not bad at all :)

[@BionicRusty]

Thank you 🙏 I’ve had exactly the same experience, for years, with Demon Shine. So much so that until recently, I used a diluted mix as a post wash/pre towel dry. I’m certainly not a label snob and for visual effect/Wow factor, can’t praise DS enough. 👍👍

I’ve used Autoglym Rapid Detailer but only for clay bar. I’m now guessing I should have used panel wipe or APC to prep for waxing instead of just wiping down using rapid detailer and a microfibre and then applying Fusso coat wax ??

[@ForensicDetailing]

Yes the detailer will leave material behind which won't help the fusso to bond. It's like painting a wall you need to clean it down first before painting

[@jt5261]

Thanks John (is it John or Jon). From now on I will use panel wipe or something of that ilk. I will try again in spring using my new buffer for the first time 😮. Thanks for all your ongoing efforts creating content, I’m learning lots 😃👍😃

[@vasts1479]

Carpro ech2o, excellent product and great value for money (dilution is 1:25). Koch chemie QS is also great. If you want a detailer with protection I would go with Sonax ultra slick detailer, carpro elixir or gyeon ceramic detailer.

[@SuperPramFace]

P&S Dream Maker, is it a quick detailer? I'm a bit confused by it, it leaves no protection but is a gloss enhancer? Could I use this to help dry my car and go straight to the polishing stage? I see some demos the rag company do with Bead Maker, they clay the car with bead maker and go straight to drying. Could I use DREAM Maker and go straight to polishing?

[@Roughdraft214]

I love dream maker as well but would not use anything with gloss enhancers or waxes prior to a polish. You want as clean of a surface as possible. I even avoid car washes with the word brilliant or gloss which normally serves a good purpose but it costs the car with the gloss enhancers. Yes I would consider dream maker to be an LSP/QD.

[@Wayne.R]

Jon, interesting video. Can I ask, with the volume you are mixing out, 5 litres worth, 2 questions : 1, what are you mixing it with - Tap water or Distilled? and 2, how long would you say it will last before begins 'going off'? Is there a point where it'll lose its effectiveness. I have the same product, mixed out to 10:1, but I'm not getting through it. Cheers.

[@ForensicDetailing]

Will be good for a few years I think. I use de ironies water

[@Wayne.R]

@@ForensicDetailing Cheers. I used tap water, as i was out of De-ironised water. I'll junk this bottle then, and make some new with distilled water. You say, 9:1 is best ratio. It's 5:1 too strong for a QD IYO?

[@-GRHD-]

I use AF finale most times. Does help maintain the beads and adds a bit of gloss, only fault with it is that it's not concentrate. Also use pure definition ceramic detailer, decent product and lasts a few months before it starts to fail and its very cheap

[@stevegreer1963]

Jon, There is a newer brand in the US called Phoenix EOD who makes a QD/sealant called Titan. This stuff is amazing! It is applied just like your demonstration providing incredible slickness and gloss. Titan is less about cleaning and more about protecting over most QD’s. If you can get your hands on a bottle in the UK, or reach out to the company to send you some, I highly recommend it. I found it addicting just after using my first 8oz bottle, so I went out an bought a gallon jug. It’s easy to use as a QD, but gives more lasting protection. I actually use it very sparingly as a QD for my final drying towel. Get some if you can!

[@henrywhite807]

I may be wrong, but have a feeling he did a video on Titan a few weeks ago. I will have a look, sounds interesting.

So you're not a fan of drying aids to reduce the risk of towel scratches? I've heard European cars have harder paint, so perhaps you're less bothered by it. Seems like a good idea on softer paints, especially if not coated with ceramic.

Not bad eh!! Only thing is, it cost me £574 for all the products and water in bulk!! Bonkers!!! But just look at the savings for my lifetime supply of QD!!!!

[@roscopervis]

An overlooked concept these days! Most people get confused with them and spray sealants,where for me, a QD has to have the ability to clean, so is lubricated and thus can be a clay lube. Beyond that, any protection should be pretty light and not interfere with the base protection so that you should always know when that starts to fail. I also like BH Auto QD diluted down to 1:10, very pleasing. Diluted rinseless washes (with or without protection) are useful QD’s particularly as clay lubes, cleaners and drying aids. Of course, Koch Chemie Fse is also a staple for its cleaning abilities and very light protection that can rejuvenate clogged coatings.
