As usual this will be short as I'm a slow typer...

CG's pro detailer+carnauba
Great QD, smells like PB's NB. The best thing about it is it doesn't streak unless you really use too much. Looks don't really blow me away. Other QD's look better like S&G, but not worrying about streaking is great.

Adam's uh a mean Danase Speed Shine
Very similar to the CG's one above. Slightly more slick and smells excellent. Looks between the 2 are similar to me. Also does not streak unless used incorrectly. I liked the $7 price of the CG's one more than the $9 price of this ;)

Danse plush MF towel
Actually I did not like this much, it was free with the QD's though :) It had tags, and it's really light weight. I dunno, just doesn't "feel" great in the hand. I found it to be pretty average. It is pretty soft though. My favorite towel is still PB's Mega Plush.

"Full Flow" shutoff valve
This thing is great. It's plastic and cheap, but really well made. Of course, I'm using it on my foam gun instead of the orange trigger which is hard to squeeze for long time periods. The full flow valve has a real easy to use switch, and really does flow more water than the orange trigger. Best $6 I've spent recently. I turn it on low and let the foam go the whole time I'm washing.

CG's extreme bodywash
I like this more as I use it. You have to make sure you use enough though. Smells great like grape. Got a gallon :) Lubricates good, doesn't seem to add much extra shine though.

Thanks for the reviews man!
I agree with your thoughts on the CG BodyWash for sure.
IMO the two QD's you tried really excel at cleaning ability, moreso than slickness/gloss. If you want more slickness you may want to try out Spray and Gl...I mean CG Synthetic Detailer...by the gallon. :wink:
If you go through the CG/Danase' QD's, they're waaaaaaaaay more cost effective by the gallon.

I plan to get one of the Danase/CG's QD in a gallon after my others run out. Slickness was good, just that gloss was only average.

CG's Synthe.....uh I mean Spray and Gloss :wink: :lol: has streaked for me a bit in the past, although you are correct it does look great.


Seems like there is a direct trade off between looks (oils) and lack of streaking IMO. The better it looks, the more likely to streak.
