Quick Detailers! Can they Provide gloss and protection? Let's Find The Real Answer!! 

Do you use any of these regularly...and how often?

Thanks Brian for taking the time and effort to put the video together. Very informative. Just goes to show that expensive doesn't mean good. I throughly enjoy these type of comparison videos. 👍✌️🙂

I love how thorough this video is. Great job!

I was recently wondering about this! Thank you for these test and for all your very useful videos! Keep it up my friend. Great Job!👍👍👍👌😊

Excellent video. Great match ups. Great info. Thanks for posting.

brian, you are the consummate professional. You provide us with consistent honest/unbiased reviews so that we may choose what best meets/fulfills our needs/desires. kudos to the others too...forensic, auto detailing, and all the others that are not being supported by a specific product line. we thank u all and it is nice to listen to your eval of same products to give us different perspectives. Brian...in one word we......TRUST....your reviews. thanks

Another good comparison. Thank you. Interesting to note the trade off between gloss and protection. It all comes down to what you value more, which maybe different depending on the situation.

Seems that TW has stepped up their game with very impressive products lately. I was very impressed with both TW & Eagle One👍 Thanks for the video Brian👍👍 I never really thought of how much protection a quick detailer could give you🤔

Thanks Brian, for another invaluable comparison of competing products. As an alternative to an expensive professionally applied ceramic coating, I think the TW line of sealants and QDs are a choice that's hard to beat.

This is the third or fourth video I watched on your channel...there are 3 more I saw that I can not wait to watch. Your presentation and content are top notch sir!

I love your videos. Keep up the great work Brian!

Well put together! We appreciate your efforts!

Found this video searching on hybrid sealants and was quite impressed by your test of these products, will definitely be subscribing to the channel!

Sir, i’m from Poland and your vids are amazing, i was in usa too for 3 yrs, but your all reviews are amazing. You’re only one person who is in TOP #1 in detailing world, because you know what you are doing. The guys like dallas paint correction and young guy Wilson or Willons i don’t remember it’s not a good idea to watch theirs videos. Keep going with your reviews !

When I got into detailing when i got my first car, I loved using Meguiars Detailer spray, left a nice glossy feel along with a nice scent when sprayed, after washing and drying the car it just gave a nice shine, these days I been doing Chemical Guys and haven’t tried the Turtle Wax yet although heard they def stepped up their game now hope to get their product soon

Thanks for the review. I have detailers but I don't use them often, mostly for wiping out the door jambs since I can't get those with a hose. I just assumed that they were for getting dust off the body without adding much else. Thanks to this video, and your comparison to TW ICE Seal n Shine, I ordered a bottle of Wipe and Shine for 6 bucks last night. It should arrive in store in a few days.

Incredible video you make. Clear for us to choose

That was a fun test to watch! Thanks Bryan! After dominating the gloss category, I thought Adams might run away with it. But have to admit to being caught a little off guard by the Eagle One.

Great video !! Thx for this solid information keep up good work

Very good and informative. This is one I’ve been wanting to see..

When I subscribed, I just felt it was deserved, but now I know it was, and I can confidently say, nobody compares product to product like APEX DETAIL

Well, sometimes the ole Walmart stuff works very nicely! Thanks for the nice video. Tom

Another gr8 vid bryan... looks like d eagle has landed lol... just washed my trk today fusso coat still going strong air dried it and used tw seal n shine as a topper. Lethal combination!!

I'm firmly entrenched in the TW camp but after these tests and not being able to find TW Ice Detail spray at Walmart, I'll consider using Eagle One in the near future. Great test Brian, thanks.

Very good test results....gonna try eagle one for sure I use there iron removal very happy with that product. Would like to see a part 2 with beadmaker turtle shine and eagle one. Keep the test coming!

Thanks Bryan! Good video. I use 2 different Chem Guys, Adams, P&S Bead Maker with varying degrees of success. I'm going to look into Eagle One, and Turtle Wax. Turtle Wax has really upped their game after languishing for so many years along with companies like Armor All. They both seem to be stepping up and it's good to see. I'm really impressed with Meguiar's Spray Wax too! It's almost as easy as a quick detail spray and gloss and feel are both amazing.

great job with test.made my mind up sticking with turtle wax.been using it for years.thanks again.GOD BLESS!!!!!

Brian thanks for the Quick detailers I don't use them if I do I can look at your video and take the best.........Thanks Great job.........

Great test.. Since TW and Eagle 1 were pretty much close, pick one and use... I actually use some Meguiars ,, and add a little Klasse Sealant Glaze to the bottle and mix and shake good so to add some more protection at same time.... It gives it that extra boost..

Excellent video, I appreciate your data and procedures a lot. Best regards

Turtle wax is a huge surprise as far as the products they are coming out with. Thank you so much for these test. I am guessing your product supply is becoming a mountain

Great video on comparing for each product which one will work best.

These pricier brands must be pulling their hair out with every video you've made lately.

One of my favorite videos. Will you be shooting a updated version with newer products out now?

I enjoy your videos.. How you don't get burnt out doing these I have no idea.. I know with the editing and so on these videos have to be time consuming on your part. I look forward to watching them.. Amazing the two cheapest detailers took first and second in durability

Brian, great review as always. For me, I love the TW. I have to say though that I used the CG synthetic detailer for the 1st time yesterday and wow it was easy to use and gave my paint a serious shine and very slick, but as we saw, not 1st in longevity. I park in an underground heated garage and very dusty. What product would be best to repel dust and dirt particles as far as a quick detailer? Thanks!

Eagle One and TW.. great match up!

Thanks Brian, good stuff! Eagle One just swoopin' in outta nowhere man.. pretty cool.. never would have guessed.. These inexpensive retail guys just crushing these high end expensive brands.. If I was in charge of Menzerna, CG, etc. I'd be embarrassed and angry and making some changes, probably firing some people.. 😁👍👌✌

Thx for all of your time! I'm in love with Turtle Wax Ice Seal and Shine at every other wash, but use CarPro Reload in between as a QD and drying aid. The shine, depth, and durability destroy the competition!

Nicely done. Thanks

Great video. Thank you!

"When it comes to gloss, Adam's really SHINED there." Lol

wow! that Eagle stuff is almost sealer like!! and the Turtle again.... Laying a protective "shell" on the paint....!! Kudos to Adam, detailer spray is use for gloss really !!! ;-)

Awesome! Thanks! Eagle 1

Brian, can you please do a video on Aero Shine and Aero Cosmetics wash wax all.great content btw

Thanks for making this video!!!

Amazing test!!

I used to use the Turtle Wax Ice detail spray and absolutely loved it. But now I can’t find it anymore! Super bummed because like you show, it really shed water and it smelled great! I just ordered a gallon of the Adams detail spray. Looking forward to trying that out. I’ve been using Adams Slick and Slide, but it can be a bit smeary if your not careful. Nice demo, thanks.

great cideo again sir. Unfortunatelkly only the sonax BSD detailer it is abailiable to me.....so i am using only BSD.............it is a bit of difficult to aplly sometimes but i like its gloss enchanse and its durabillity. thanks again for testing products for us

great video! very informative

Wow I was really disappointed in CG quick detailer. As I have been using that for about a year. That Turtle Wax ICE though....😍😍😍🔥🔥 I know I'm a little late to the party but EXCELLENT VIDEO! Might get some of that Turtle wax ice.

I love using eagle 1 detailer. I use it on my daily driver Wrx and I’ll never go with anything else

I use the Adams regularly. I actually started mixing the ceramic waterless wash with water and use that. I know it leaves protection and gloss the ceramic waterless wash as a detail spray.✊

The top 3 are solid purchases!

Great vid! Thanks!

I am a "try ever product addict", and have a LOT of detail sprays. To be quite honest, for me, they all work about the same way. I like the CG Extreme Slick Quick Synthetic because it has anti-static properties and doesn't streak for me in the sun. The Adam's gives me the most gloss because it actually contains carnauba in it. I am actually moving away from buying any more dedicated detail sprays. I have been successfully using Wolfgang Uber Rinseless concentrate in a detail spray dilution on my daily driver (sealed), and Optimum No-Rinse w/Wax in a detail spray dilution on my Z06 weekend toy (waxed). Both products work very well and make GALLONS of solution from each concentrate. Because there are SO many great spray sealants and spray waxes available now, I just use the Wolfgang and the Optimum for light cleaning as my detail sprays, and follow up with dedicated spray sealants and waxes afterwards. Bead Maker on the sealed daily, and Griot's BOS and Adam's spray waxes on the waxed weekend toy. That way, I am sure to be adding gloss and protection.

I never liked chem guys but for my blk car i love threre synthetic de spray for sick gloss

Another great video. Maybe I'm missing something but why would I want to put TW detalier over TW S&S? They both go on easy and S&S will last longer.

Used to love megs back in the day. Eagle one wax with Teflon (dont think they make it no more) and megs quick detailer in between.

Brian, this would be a great video to redo with some of the new productsin the space like Lithium, NV, P&S, etc...

You should do a test on the impact of the highest gloss detail spray (Adam's) that has poor water behavior over base layers of Fusso Coat and Turtle Wax Seal N Shine to see what it does to their excellent water behavior initially and after a wash with Reset. Will it increase gloss but hinder the beading at all and if it does impact water behavior will a wash with Reset bring it back? While also trying the Turtle Wax Ice detail spray over Fusso and Seal N Shine in another area on the panel since Ice spray detailer has decent gloss but excellent water behavior to see what impact it has on the gloss and water behavior of Fusso and Seal N Shine below it. Everyone does single product water tests, but no one ever layers things to see how that will affect things.

I think you should rinse off the panel using a stronger spray instead of using the shower setting to blast off any leftovers cleaners on the paint. I really like the " Full " setting on my garden hose nozzle for rinsing down my car with its pressure it gives.

Isn't the primary purpose of QDs safe light cleaning and safe drying aide? Then added gloss.

Thanks Brian. For some reason I just trust you more than your peers.

Would have loved to see the Sonax detailer here as well!

Interesting video.

Turtle wax products are becoming the big boy on the block!

Turtle wax and detailers are great for daily drivers. For my Tundra I use DPC on steroids,

I use Adam's as my drying aid and general detail spray uses like bird poop and spots. It's expensive but of all the detailers I've used, it's by far the easiest to work with; flashes really fast and refuses to streak, great lubricity, shines well. Protection and beading are sort of irrelevant to me as far detail sprays are concerned, for sure.

another great comparison and product review good friend.u changed it up this time which means the hoarder is out of stock.lol..

Funny how these are the cheapest priced products in the shoot out. Thank you TW and Eagle one for proving it doesn’t have to be expensive to be a quality product. Great video.

Honestly I think most people sort of have a misconception of what quick detailers are for. They're not meant to be any sort of serious protection. They're really more of a quick cleaner, or spot cleaner, for in between washes. Can also be used to provide a bit of gloss boost for a few days at most, or be used as a lubricant for claying or drying. That's about it. If you want actual protection, serious beading, chemical resistance, UV protection, etc. You'll have to move up to some sort of actual sealant, wax, or coating (or a combination of products). Personally I keep a bottle of Quick Detailer in my trunk at all times (along with a few quality microfiber towels) primarily for cleaning and removing bird poop, or any other major contaminate. You don't want to leave that stuff on your paint or trim for any length of time, if you can avoid it. Especially when parking outdoors in the sun. Even pollen after a rain will create an acidic mix that will sit and leave water spots that can start to etch the clearcoat/paint/trim. Having some nice cleaner/lubricant in the form of a quick detailer really helps remove that stuff easily and quickly. It takes about 5-10 minutes to just do a walkaround with a couple of towels and wipe down the car. No need to get too carried away...just a quick wipe is all you need to really help avoid some of the long term damage. Especially with bird poop...that stuff is NASTY on your paint in the sun. For this sort of quick clean, any quality box store detailer is usually good enough: Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Adams, Griots Garage, etc. I like the Griots Garage (Speed Shine or Ceramic Speed Shine), and Adams (Detail Spray or Graphene Detail Spray), but you can pick whatever...I also like either Meguiars or Turtle Wax products for this. Careful with certain ones like Sonax Brilliant Shine. It's actually an excellent detailer for gloss and some protection, however it's too gel like, tacky/grabby, for cleaning tasks.

A quick detailer or detailing spray has always had a specific use and that’s to safely clean up very lightly dirty surfaces. Fingerprints. Dust. Fresh bird poop. Things like that. It’s something to take to a car show and use to quickly clean up an already detailed car or it’s something to spray on right before you hand off a car to a client. Nothing more, IMO. I don’t know when people started looking at this type of product and think it they could be used as a quick wax or spray wax, products with no cleaning abilities. I could care less about their hydrophobic properties, or how durable they are, or any gloss and slickness additives. I just care about how safely and effectively they clean dust and fingerprints. So as much as I love your videos, this whole test seems very strange and out of scope and doesn’t even test what these products were meant for. Anyway, as always, looking forward to your next video.

If I use a quick detailer at all it‘s mannets showstopper which can be used on everything watch Brian’s video on it. Or shine supply’s throttle because it’s wax free.

I used Sonax BSD & is crazy, very long lasting

Another great video Sir. I just took advantage of the buy 1 get 1 50% off on Eagle One products at Advanced here in So IL. Anyone have any thoughts on P&S Pearl shampoo? Seems pretty versatile. I'm a fan of gloss and slickness. Seems Pearl has both. Thanks.

Eagle-One seems to be more like a spray wax rather than a detail spray. Both both it and TW product are winners!

Tw may not have won , but again super solid buy, great consumer product

Sad that Griots best of show detailer wasn't here 😭 that stuff is crazy good! Great video B

Great shootout

I use a quick detailer for gloss not hydrophobic properties. So Adams is it for me!

If you do another video like this I would love to see you do your average brands such at turtle along with some "high end" brands or top dollar brands

What's your take on Lucas speed spray wax? I will primarily use it between washes and to remove water spots and or bugs. Thank You!

hi can u do a video on Sonax high speed spray wax it is the only spray wax available in my region and i am wondering how it compares to others and there aren't any channels talking about it

Brian could you do a video on how to get smells out of the interior and maybe the a/c vents?

This video is pure brilliance! #GREATNESS Brian is pure brilliance! #GREATNESS

Hi Bryan, what is the make and model of your gloss meter. Would you recommend it or another product. Thx

My favorite part about things like this and what jimbo does is calling out all these companies that are over charging and underdelivering or just over charging in general

Great Video Brian.. As my daily go too I was pulling for the Adams and was pretty sure it would win the Gloss section. Had hoped it would have made a better showing in the other categories.

I grew up with Megs QD HAHA. You need Optimums QD... good stuff.

Great video! This video gives me an idea for what I would like to see you do. All these companies claim their Glazes add gloss but I have never seen much of a difference in gloss to the naked eye. I always feel like I wasted my time when using them.

Hello. All this products (detailers,waxes) are great, but after it rains, all this beads that sit on the car are hard to evaporate. In conclusion the second day I have dust in stead of beads and this is very hard to remove. I need to use a mild degreaser. What is the purpose of wax if I have to wash the car after every rain? Am I missing something? Can you help me with some advices? Thank you.

Eagle One and Turtle Wax, are impressive. And I think thats because they have been paying attention to their user base. Their market is the weekend warrior, and they know that these days, people will simply Google, "Best Quick Detailer," and be linked to videos like this. The Chemical Guys doesn't surprise me, at all. Pretty sad when you hit the Walmart shelf and grab a bottle of Eagle One, over a Chemical Guys brand.

Would you recommend using Adams as a drying aid? I’m looking for a detail spray I can use as a drying aid that won’t add any additional protection so it doesn’t interfere with my coating maintenance.

Eagle 1 *QUICK DETAILER* would blow away Beadmaker *SPRAY SEALANT* for protection..lol! Great slickness from Beadmaker, though.

How do these products perform with a wax that has already been applied? Because you usually wash then wax a car and then you usually use a product like this when the car starts to get dirty and you don’t want to wash it. Just wondering if any of these products will destroy the initial protective wax that you put on!? Thank You!

With the other quick detailers out there, have you done a similar test with the ones not featured here (in particular the turtle wax hybrid Solutions Ceramic Detail Spray)? I have used the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Detail Spray and I am liking what I see. For my car, though, I haven’t done the torture and chemical tests you have done; all I have done is washed and cared for my car with the other Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions line of products, and driven my car as normal. I am curious, too, as to why testing these products weren’t tested on a vehicle in real world use? Because how many people will actually do to their cars the same things as done in the video?

Maybe it was just me but it seemed like Eagle one got almost twice as many soap sprays than the the turtle ice did on the last 3 rounds and still came out on top

Are All of these safe for black plastic trim? I know Maguire's won't turn plastic white, and even makes black plastic look better!!

Can I use these products each time after normal maintenance wash (protected car)?
