#34 vs #135 vs D155

[BarryK]

I tried a search but now I'm even more confused...

i've been using #34 as one product for three uses:
1. lubricant while claying
2. in between paint corrective steps to wipe down and inspect panels
3. as a general purpose QD.

For all theses uses I use the #34 full strength.

So far I have no complaint about #34. It seems to do what i've been using it for just fine but I'm running low on my current gallon container now I'm looking to see if they is a better alternative I should consider. Does D155 or #135 work better or work at least as well as #34 but maybe more cost effective because it can be used diluted, or anything like that?

Try a gallon of Last Touch, it's not body shop safe, unlike 34, which is, but if you aren't painting, then that's a non issue. Last Touch is a very versatile product, it can be diluted at 1:1 for claying and also used straight as a very good detailing spray. 135 is an awesome detailing spray, but it not recommended for a clay lube.

I wouldn't use M135 as a wipe down product to inspect panels.
I would use it for in between washes.

OK, I'm not really concerned with body-shop safe in terms of silicone and wax contamination issues so the Last Touch D155 can be used straights as a QD or diluted as a claying lubricant which will help make it last longer and be more cost effective.
#135 is not good as a clay lubricant nor good as a wipe down between detailing steps but a very good QD.

Should I go with Last Touch for everything to replace the Final Inspection for all three uses or go with Last Touch for a lubricant and detailing step wipe down PLUS also have #135 as a dedicated QD product? Is the #135 so much better than Last Touch or Final Inspection as a QD spray to warrant keeping just as the dedicated QD product to use?

Well, Last Touch is a good Detail spray and is versatile, it works great as a final detail spray after a wash, claying and removing polish. 135/UQD is a really good product on final wipe downs, it contains Meguiars Hydrophobic Polymer Technology which really beads and repels water. Having said that, if it were me, I would get the Last Touch due to it's versatility and then you could try a bottle of the UQD spray and see what you think about it and you don't have buy the gallon just to try it. UQD and 135 are the same thing.

Re: #34 vs #135 vs D155

sounds good.
I'll just get the Last Touch as my "all purpose" product to replace my Final Inspection.
I do have a smaller package of UQD and when I've used it last year I was satisfied with it but never really looked at the results critically.
I'll try it again and compare it against the Last Touch when I get it in to see if it's really worth ordering up #135 to keep in addition to the Last Touch or to not bother.
