Default Anyone tried Lucas Oil Quick Mist Speed Wax?

I was looking for something that was readily available at Advance Auto Parts, and I happened to find Lucas Oil Quick Mist Speed Wax.

I washed my car with ONR, and applied this LOQMSW. I was very impressed! It wipes off fairly easy with no streaking (you probably need one MF towel for application, one for removal) and it makes a great shine. Additionally, it seems to have plenty of scratch fillers, as it makes fine scratches/swirls nearly invisible, even in direct sunlight.

As a QD spray, it is probably the best I've ever encountered, although I haven't used that many. I don't expect it have much durability, but I didn't buy it for that purpose. Also, the surface of the car doesn't seem to be "slick", it almost feels somewhat greasy/oily--I'd call it "rich"! But maybe that's because of my fingers.

As long as the car doesn't get in the rain, I now just wipe my car off with a California Car Duster every couple days, and follow that with a quick application of Lucas Oil Quick Mist Speed Wax! Anyone else try it? I know you guys probably have your favorite QD sprays but I think this one is worth a shot.

(I will try to get some close up shots at some point.)

Its the only QD I use. I highly recommend it also. I discovered it about 5-6 months ago and use it religiously. I have used quite a few different ones and they always seemed to streak and never wipe up all the way. Not so with the Lucas. I also like that it doesnt seem watered down so when you spray it on the paint it doesnt streak and run down the panel before you have had a chance to wipe it down, it just stays right where you sprayed it. I actually like it better then the Zaino QD's. Here is my car with just one coat of Zaino Z-5 topped with one coat of Zaino Z-2 with a wipedown of Lucas to finish it up.

Coming from you, that's quite a compliment! Thanks!

By far, the thing I'm most impressed with is the fact that this detailer is able to hide light scratches/swirls so well.
