sport detailed - now looking for a quick detailer

just had the sport detailed by somebody i met through detailingworld.
other than the usual, it's had zymol destiny as LSP.
as part of the detail i received a list of recommended products, washing regime to help maintain the condition. he recommended zymol's own quick detailer "field glaze"
I've been reading up on dw and not convinced it's what i want.

i'm looking for a quick detailer i can use to use as a drying aid in the final stage of the wash and also ad-hoc use for bird poo, fingerprints, etc...
from scouring the dw pages, i've narrowed down to a list of potential products but i was keen to hear from rrs owners what they use and find works well on land rover paint. especially java black.
this is the list in order of preference - any votes?

Fk425
GTechniq C2v3
Sonax bsd
Chemical guys speed wipe
Zaino z6
Optimum instant detailer
Auto finest finale
Auto glym rapid detailer

here are some shots...this was after returning so some motorway bugs and water spots so havent taken many angles. will do once somebody i order the QD and give the sport a nice bath!

Nice.......Cars looking very Cool Thumbs Up

I'd recommend one of these, all extremely good products and will do exactly what you want. Thumbs Up
Ultimately, the choice is you're, but my money would be going here Wink

Fk425
Sonax bsd
Zaino z6


If, I was pushed, I'd go for Z6 as it's sooooo easy to use and leaves a cracking shine.

Thanks mate. How do you find it for repelling water and avoiding those water spots that's so common on black?

Nice car btw. How's the m sport suspension on the F10? I went from e60 to RRS and it wasn't until I did that I realised how hard the ride was especially with them runflats Mad 07 TDV8 + BAS map

For water repelling, go for the Sonax BSD, it wins on that front by a country mile Thumbs Up

Thanks, I do love the F10, the rides not that bad to be fair, even in M Sport guise. I'd had an E60 before and the ride is quite an improvement over that, even with the dreaded runflats. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

GTechniq C2v3, very easy to use and beads water well

though I don't bother diluting to make it a quick detailer

+1 for the Sonax BSD - definitely the best QD there is at the mo'.

Did my RRS with it over the weekend and it only took about 10 mins after I had washed/polished it last Friday. Does that make me a quiick detailer……... Whistle FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

Thanks for the comments. Ordered the 500ml of sonax and fk425 and will experiment. Very keen on the gtecniq, might try that too as part of my experiment in fact.

Will post some results. 07 TDV8 + BAS map
