The Menzerna is discontinued. From what George told me, the High Gloss Acrylic Shield (QD) and their Full Molecular Jacket (sealant) were developed by another company and sold it as a Menzerna product. Menzerna finally developed their own sealant, the Power Lock, and therefore the HGAS and FMJ were discontinued.

The HGAS was a QD but it was designed to chemically work with the FJM, similar to what Blackfire advertises for its Deep Gloss Spray (QD) and Wetdiamond (sealant).

Good to hear about the Megs ultimate quick wax. I like spray waxes after washing my car because of the easy of installation and the quickness.

Ive been using a cheap Eagle One spray wax I got at autozone and I really like it. It goes on easy and wipes off easy and tends to last about 2 weeks. Im almost out of it but I was wondering how the Megs products were. Im addicted to the M105 polish and think its fantastic so I was looking more into the rest of their product line.

I remeber the eagle one I used it all the time lol yes meguires Ultimate Q wax is a better Replacement especially on BLK it really looks amazing I love that stuff I'm gonna pick up some more today and start using again , I will now just keep QD spray for finger prints or water spots , b4 I would use after drying to enhance depth gloss and shine but I don't think it's necessary to use QD for this . So QD for touch ups and QW for finishing the wash and dry process.

Ok so I switched back to the Meguiers Quick Spray Wax and Wow I really just love this stuff! I use this after wash and dry for a nice finish and leaves paint looking soooo good!!! No streaks or residue etc. I'm happy I switch back to this . Also for QD I just got my Adams quick detaile spray and WOW this stuff is amazing compared to optimum and meguires Quick Detailers. After washing/drying and Meguires Quick Wax I left car perfect now next day it slightly rained and I pulled out th Adams QD to test it and WOW I really love this stuff and will def get more . I even put car i'n direct Sunlight and just amazing how good of a finish Adams QD leaves. Smells great to highly recomend Adams for Quick Detailer!!!!!

I started with OPT detailer and gloss enhancer. I was VERY happy with it on my BO 'vert. When that ran out I tried to make one from diluting ONR as per their instructions. I have played with a few different mixes, but can not get it to where I like it. Got a new order in today and I got Poorboys spray and gloss. Looking forward to trying it out.

Thumbs up Poor Boys....

Just to follow up on my earlier post. Used Poor Boys Spray and Gloss this past weekend and it went great! Only problem was that I used 40% of the small bottle in one session. Tonight I ordered the 128oz version.
Makes the car silky smooth!

Ten months into ownership I am starting to build a nice selection of detailing products in the garage.
Man, it is EASY to lose a lot of hours in the garage once you start cleaning. I get tons of compliments on the car though.
