Can anyone recommend a car detailing spray? I want something to spray over the bodywork after washing that will give some shine, there's various online and some claiming ceramic coating.. so what do you guys recommend as the best you have used? thanks


edited to add - this is the ceramic one from Autoglym: Autoglym Rapid Ceramic Spray, Ultra Hydrophobic 500ml. Anyone used it?

I use Autoglym Rapid Ceramic.

Someone who really knows their detailing onions will no doubt be along to tell me why I’m wrong but I think it’s great.

Much easier to apply than a traditional wax, gives a great shine and the water beads on it afterwards. You can use it on metal, chrome and plastic.

I use Griot's 3 in 1.

It's pretty good but doesn't seem to be widely imported to the UK so you pay a bit of a premium.

It smells lovely but whether it's worth more to most people than the equivalent Autogylm or Maguires product then probably not.

It won one of Project Farms comparison videos as the best spray on product. Was very close to the dedicated ceramic coats costing 4x more.

My go-to is Sonax Brilliant shine detailer. I've used it for years. There may be better products out there nowadays but it's the one I always go back to !

Over 20yrs of Detailing I've tried ALOT of QD's, the following are my favourites -

Gyeon QD

Or if you are looking to add quick and easy protection I'd recommend a specific spray/rinse product like -

I bought some GTechniq Quick Detailer a few weeks ago as if you bought it in the litre bottle it was surprisingly good value.

Don't rate it at all though.

Thanks guys, some great options there. I also see the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating gets some mega reviews too.
