Your favorite quick detailer (for this situation)??

Winter here in MA has been awful. I have not been 2bucket washing my car like I was doing the 1st couple months of owning my G. Instead Ijust been taking it threw the touchless (basic wash with undercarriage rinse, none of that extra sealant foam stuff) every week or so to get the road salt/grime off. I usually just pull out and drive away.

As you guys know a touchless does not get ALL the dirt off the paint (side panels especially) nor does it fully dry the car. I want to start hitting it with a quick detailer right after going through the touchless. Which one do I go with?

I have used Optimum Instant Detailer after my bucket washes but i dont if it would be effective in the situation I'm speaking of.

Poorboy S&W? Poors QD+? Chemical Guys Speed Wipe? Meguiars?

Help a brother out.

WG Detailer is great, Blackfire, Pinnacle, Chem Guys all have great QD's, but if you want to hit your paint with a QD and it's cold outside they don't work nearly as well. You will have to bring a ton of MF's with and wipe down will take forever to get your paint looking good and a lot of effort. My recommendation is to seal your paint well prior to winter hitting (not going to help you now) and then just use touchless washes to manage the amount of salt on your car. If you have a heated garage that's a different story, but make sure you let your paint temp get up to room temp (65+ degrees) before using the QD or you'll be spending a lot of time and elbow grease that you shouldn't have to.

I have used all the mentioned quick detailer's but one that I have now started using religiously is the CarPro Reload Spray Sealant. Hand's down the best I've used and the shine is that of a wet glossy look, even on my moonlight white color.
Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical is also really good but CarPro gets my approval along with the rest of their products.

Optimum No Rinse wash & wax and wash in the garage if you could.
