For the price, you will not get a better quick detailer, nor a better investment to protect your car paint.  For me, "quick detailers" were a little confusing in their use and purpose.  So for those of you who don't know, they are meant to be used for two basic purposes:1) To protect your car's clear coat/paint.  Ideally you use this between waxing to maintain both the glossy newly waxed look as well as protection from the elements. The hydrophobic properties (water beading) serve as a visual reminder of that protection.  It's not as good protection as a full waxing and it doesn't last as long, but again, it's effective to prolong wax protection.2) Act as a cleaning agent.  This detailer can be used to get rid of a variety of stains.  I personally have used it to get rid of everything from caked in bird droppings on the hood to road splatter near my wheels.For me, I use it as a protectant only for touch ups on certain areas or after I clean up a stain.  I don't really use it on my entire car as a "pseudo wax".  The simple reason is that for you to safely do that, you really need to fully wash your car beforehand.  Otherwise, without a hose and car soap, you risk actually scratching your clear coat with all the dirt/debris while you apply this detailer.  And if you wash your car, then it's just not that much more difficult/time consuming to apply a wax right after (vs using this detailer), which is better protection anyways.  Although one time saving is that in waxing you need to buff out your car after applying it, which can take some effort to do properly whereas you do not with this detailer.  If you do wind up applying this on large areas of your car, just remember that you should try to keep it dry for 12 hours for the detailer to fully cure to maximum protection.However, as a cleaning/protectant for spot stains this is indispensible.  It's extremely effective and I always keep a bottle of this in my trunk because you never know when a bird is going to do its business on your car and you need to get those type of stains out as quickly as possible before they corrode your clear coat.Hope that helps!
