Best Boat cleaner / Wipe down product
 

I'm looking to hear from others who have used them and the results.
I am considering the Teague shine made by and similar to Biokleen shine or the Hot Sauce by boat bling

If you have feelings or experience on either of these please post it

I wax, early summer and sometimes half through summer. The rest of the time I wipe down with Mequiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer. Been using it for years, easy to use, quick, looks great and you can easily buy it almost anywhere.

For the money.... I'm assuming we are talking big boats with a lot of surface area.. My wife and I really like the Meguiar's Last Touch quick detailer. It is sold by the gallon and is formulated to be diluted. Currently we are cutting it at a 4:1 ratio which seems to work best. The problem with most of the retail products are they are just packaged too small and either streak on our black imron stripes or don't clean the scum off at all.

I've been using a product called Slick-Trick (detailer) and Pro-Wax by a company called Brite One. I found it at the local Harley dealer. Seems to work well with my darker maroon paint. The wax is the best - easy on/off. Link: Brite One Inc. Official Website

Thanks, I am going to try this instead of the Ultimate Detailer.

We sell a lot of good stuff in commercial quantities as well. Our quick Detailer called Paint Gloss is every bit as good my opinion better than the Meguiars. We have P&S and our Boat line is Babes. Babes boat bright is great as well. We also have a great quick coating called Bead Maker which is Hydrophobic. I've now started installing ceramic coatings on boats and it's the real deal stuff!!

I've been using the Biokleen Qwik shine for years on the boat, cars and around the house. You can purchase it in just about any size quantity you like 32oz. 1 gallon or even 5 gallons. What I like about it not only does it clean the surface it also leaves a layer of polymer protection behind.

I make use of a product called Slick-Trick and it seems to work well with my darker maroon paint

General question from a shine rookie- will these quick details, paint gloss, and the other quick shines help extend the life of a base coat of Collinite (or whatever) or remove/replace with a quick shine that quickly disappears?

I've used Meguiar's paint sealant which gives a quick, easy, wet look shine over a good wax base and am wondering if I was "p@@ing upwind and removing that base coat. :)

those quick detail sprays will NOT remove your wax. The acid based products that are for water spots will remove the wax I.E. boat bling hot sauce. Now I respect their product as a semi hard water spot remover. But the problem I have is that they claim it ads protection and gloss back in the finish as well. That's like having a right hand and left hand prop all in one. It just isn't possible.

Quick note- the real acid the pros use in the industry to remove the real hard water spots, is not something the general public is suited to ever use.

IMO it does not remove wax. I use it for light clean up and after washing my lift kept Velocity. It removes water spots and gives a nice shine.

I've used both the Boat Bling Quicky Sauce and the Teague Shine and like them both. The quicky sauce is a carnuba based wax. It comes out thick and you have to work it a bit but you get that real wax'd look. Also, because it's a wax it will leave that white dust on darker painted areas if you miss it or it's in creases. It's a great, easy way to get a real wax in a bit faster than bringing out the cloth pad and various waxes.

The BioKleen / Teague Shine is a little more liquidy and less waxy. It is an absolutely GREAT quick detailer that brings out a nice shine, is super easy on and off, doesn't leave streaks and works on paint, fiberglass, glass and other surfaces.

I really like both, they both have a little different use. I use the Teague shine to quickly wipe down and keep that continuous shine going / take away water spots, etc. I use the quickie Sauce when I want to spend a little more time and lay a base coat of wax down easily. Both great products and super affordable. You can buy both of them from Teague FYI.

I mostly use the cheap Turtle Wax Detail Spray every day to clean the bugs, bird poo, water spots, and scum line on my boat. One of the best things I've used and half the price along with being readily available. It even enhances the shine I find like it says on the bottle. Dries quickly, no streaks, spots or anything. Works great on glass even. For $4.99 a bottle, I use it constantly. Every 2nd or 3rd time out I use the Turtle Wax Quik Wax spray. That also works fantastic and keeps things nice and non-stick.

I'm pretty particular about cleaning products and I try other stuff occasionally, and keep coming back to the cheap ole Turtle Wax.

i agree. The F11 from Top Coat works well.
