Good Quick Detail Sprays?
Hey guys, can anyone recommend a good quick detail for my car? Something that I can use when the car is dry and after a road trip to make the car look great. I heard Zaino has a good product but I am not sure which product. I think I read that the Z-6 is good but the website says to dilute the solution which wouldn't be something good to use if I am on the road.

Z6 works great.
Here is the description, and you don't dilute it, unless you are using it for a lubricant with a clay bar.
Z-6 ULTRA CLEAN "GLOSS ENHANCER" SPRAY
Z-6 "Gloss Enhancer" spray is a very important addition to the Show Car Polish line-up. This product dramatically boosts and intensifies all Show Car Polishes. Z-6 contains seven optical clarifiers and our unique wet gloss enhancers to increase the "wet-looking", mile-deep Show Car Polish shine. We highly recommend it for fast cleaning of dust, water spots and light soil from painted surfaces, without scratching. Forms a tough molecular bond with Show Car Polish to increase the depth of gloss, optical clarity, slickness, durability and reinforce the UV(40) protection. Super anti-static formula reduces dust and dirt pickup by up to 60%. Z-6 will not streak, smear, haze, dull or leave a film. A must for quick touch-ups and the show winning edge. Concentrated 16 oz. spray. Less than one ounce does an average car.

Ya GEE35X, I saw that portion but I was worried about this:
Please note: Using the product in its original concentration will provide the best results. However, some people may find it difficult to evenly spray Z-6™ in its extremely high concentration. To make Z-6™ Ultra Clean more user-friendly, you may dilute the product with distilled water up to a ratio of 1 to 1 to help you get better results. Test by diluting with small proportions until you find what works best for you. Again, for optimal results, it is best not to dilute Z-6™ Ultra Clean.
What is the difference between Z-6 and Z-8? I will need to look for this FK425 and see what that is.

As to the difference I have heard between Z6 and Z8 is the price and also the difference would really only be beneficial if you are showing your car.
I have used Z6 on my last 2 G35s. I use it just for quick detailing, after every wash and after every application of Z2. I love it. I even use it on the outside of my windows (works as good as RainX)

So this stuff will work good if I need to get bugs and stuff off my car after driving cross country? I want it to look show quality if possible without having to wash it if possible.

The QD is used mainly for removing light layer of dust or enhancing the shine. A lot of people keep it handy (myself included) in the trunk along with a MF towel. It is handy for removing bird poop etc. Just spray let it soak for a minute, rub gently and re apply if required.

A lot of my friends have been using them and really like it. Here is one product I know they are using and I am going to get some for myself.

Poorboys S&W is an excellent QD, especially if you are are looking to remove some light dirt and dust in between washes. I wouldn't leave home without a bottle of S&W in my trunk. It's a versitile QD that will remove light dirt, dust, bird bombs, bugs, can be used as a lubricant when claying, and even cleans windows. It won't scratch your paint either. Highly recommended product. I personally wouldn't use Zaino Z6 on anything except a clean pain surface.

Thanks Shane 
thats the other one I was trying to think of, it looked like it did a great job when we were on the road last year.
I have not bought any yet, but I plan to. I usually will wash the car instead of using something like that, but if regular washing is not possible then it's the answer.
I'm going to order some of that Poorboys from my closest supplier before our summer cruise.

FK is good, but it does add up!
Meguiars #34 is pretty good, and you can buy in bulk. So is Clearkotes Quick Shine.
To get the most out of Z8 you need to have at least some form of Zaino on top, preferably Z5. Then the results are really outstanding
