Default Need a new detailing spray

My 01' Spa has only 3500 KM's on the odometer and is never driven in the rain. It has about 10 coats of Zaino and I wash the car only once or twice a year. I use compressed air and a california duster after I drive it to keep it clean. I have been using the Meguiar's #34 final inspection detailing spray but have grown to dislike it. This product leaves streaks no matter how quickly I work it. Can anyone recommend a good quick detailer that works well on top of Zaino ?

Why not use Z6? Dilute it 1:1 with distilled water, per Zaino instructions. If you want to really gloss it up, use Z8 once in a while.

i am guessing that you are still using the original z2...
if so, my first choice is a carnuba based detailers spray.
the one i am using now is a griots product called fast shine.
i generally prefer not to use griots products as i feel that they are overpriced, but i really like the fast shine over old z2.
very easy to use and it gives all of the benefits of sandwiching carnubas and old z2

I bought the last couple of gallons of Meguiars Final detail I could find before they quit making it. They now make Last Touch in its place. I got a sample from a friend and it is decent stuff for the price.

I just bought some stuff from Griot's (their new micro fiber drying towel is awesome!!!) and they sent along a free bottle of their detail spray. So far it seems great. Smells good too. I usually use it with a cheap-o micro fiber towel that I bought at Pep Boys.
