What's a good quick detailer?

RVN,
Before recommending a QD to you, I think we should be asking how do you protect your paint today? What brand / type of paint sealant or wax do you use?

My opinion is just that, only mine.
Two of the reasons I like UQD better than LT is that UQD just never streaks no matter how I use it or what the heat or humidity. LT will sometimes streak for me especially in high humidity. The other reason is that UQD just repels water like RainX does for glass. I don't get that same action from LT.
One more thing I like about UQD is the mister bottle is one of the nicest out there. It dispenses a really fine even mist, much better than most of the trigger bottles I own. BTW, what are you using to dispense LT? I really dislike the last bunch of trigger sprayers I bought (Meg's standard sprayer). They don't really emit a fine even mist and they seem to leak a lot around the trigger.
You are right though, sadly UQD is quite expensive. I do use LT for claying as UQD is not recommended for use with clay. I also use LT for quick removal of bird bombs and bugs. I don't dislike LT, and think that it is a good value.

Wow thanks all for the great responses and suggestions. Well, when I was in Target I noticed that they had Meg's UQD and I decided what the heck. I didn't get to try it yet because go figure no bird poo when I am finally prepared for it 
. I gotta admit though it might be a little pricer than the competition. Next or in addition, I might try the others. It was just convenient to pick it up then and there. Thanks again

If the sprayer is the problem, can't you just use the UQD spray bottle and refill with any other liquid?

Well, I use Duragloss Aquawax and NXT. I dont really have a schedule of when to wash car on this and that date. I usually wash about once a week and either put on a coat of NXT or spray Aquawax or both depending on my laziness. Last weekend I just applied two coats of NXT. Car is parked outdoors unfortunately that's why I try to wash every weekend.
