    I have noticed no difference in any of those. They all work ok for a quicky..

    I would recommend Elixir or Reload from Carpro. Great quick detailers. Reload is going to last longer and leave a very slick surface.

    The Meguiars is too oily for me

    I've used the Ultimate Quick detailer and like the results. I have some in small bottles that are very easy to take to events. I am also a big fan of Griot's Garage Speed Shine detailer.

    What MobileJay said: Carpro Reload for sure

    I’ve tried many quick Detailers including those mentioned above plus Griots, chemical guys, etc., and I couldn’t tell the difference.

    Honestly the only difference between all 3 of them is the black bottle w/ black cap. They all work fine but if you have a black car with swirl or very light scratches, the black bottle w/ black cap is the one you should use. It’ll make the car look like black glass for about 4 hours and then fall flat. It’s only a quick detailer tho so you can’t expect the world. Megulars is weird though, sometimes it’ll leave a film on your car if you use too much.

    Most of my cars are red.

    The red bottle is just easy. Easy on and easy off. I use it as a "wipedown".
    Lucas is actually the only other one that is that "easy".

    Has anyone used the yellow cap?

    I tried Torque. Maybe a bit thicker. Probably wouldn't buy it again.
    I like "easy".

    I use a mixture of 20oz of distilled water, 3oz of Carpro Reload, and 3oz of Carpro H2O (something, have to go look to see exactly what the bottle says). I don't drive the CS in the rain and use it liberally as my "carwash" product since it's entirely done up in PPF and ceramic coated.

    Have you tried Ech2o for dry washing? Put a splash of Reload and it makes a great dry wash since it’s a thicker formula than everything else I tried.

    Not by itself. I’ve always mixed it with water and Reload.

    I used to use Mequires all the time great product...switched over to Griot and have say it seems to be working fantastic..
    Their speed shine is most likely the equivalent or best of show..

    Griot Speed shine, is it a spray wax or just a quick mist wipe down formula?
    One of my favorite past times is wiping down my cars (if they aren't dirty). I like finding something of good quality and easy. It's fun testing other products.

    And when I say easy, I mean easy on and easy off.

    Man, you got me spending $$$. I love that website but try to stay off it. It's easy to spend, spend, spend!
    I think after all my life detailing my cars by hand, I'm gonna pull the trigger on a slow speed buffer.
    Now that we have all the time in the world... good time to learn.
    I put a phone call in to them already.
    Any suggestions on a beginner level buffer before they call me back in the morning.

    You can’t go wrong with Rupes. Italian brand that’s been around for years. Very quality machines that most of the detailing world uses. Pricey but you get what you pay for.

    Good people and great customer service.

    Can these or similar products be used on a car that has been ceramic coated?

    Just bought a whole bunch of stuff including a buffer (G9) pads, polish and speed shine from Griots.
    Looking forward to working with their products.

    They have good products but they are starting to get “product saturation”. They have a few things I stick to though.

    When looking at my car... it appears that a previous owner loved it more than they drove it. ;)

    In other words, too much polishing, and now it needs to be repainted. But it still looks great from 20 feet.

    I TOTALLY get it.
    I got my 84 Boxer in 85.
    I had to repaint it in 89 cause of the same thing.
    I do have a couple of cars thatll keep me busy. I'd switch off.

    I’ve found Griots Ceramic 3 in 1 Wax to be a great ceramic coating detailing spray. Super easy to work and I feel like it’s a top off for the ceramic coating.

    I just did my car in the Griots ceramic as well. Easy, shiny and good water repelling. Words still out on how long it lasts though.
