Final Inspection VS Quick Detailer

[Suttiluk]

Friends,

Are Final Inspection and Quik Detailer the same? Do they have anything in common? Can they substitute by each other?

I went to buy a refill for QD but saleman in the shop (in my country) told me that FI can be used for the same purposes. Is this true?

Any advice?

Thanks in advance my freinds out there.

This is the first question in the Products section of Meguiar's *NEW* FAQ

1. What's the difference between Quik Detailer, (A-33) and Final Inspection, (M-34)?

Final Inspection is a body shop safe, paintable product
Quik Detailer is not body shop safe and is not paintable
The terms body shop safe, and paintable, are terms Meguiar's uses to describe products that do not contain any wax, silicones or other ingredients that will negatively affect surface adhesion in a fresh paint environment.

Final Inspection is specifically formulated for use in body shop environments.

Quik Detailer contains ingredients that could affect surface adhesion in a body shop environment and should not be used in these areas.

Both of these products are designed to maintain that "just detailed" look between washes. Both of these products are high lubricity mist and wipe gloss enhancers that are excellent for use as spray lubricants when claying. Both of these products are excellent for maintaining your car's finish in-between regular washing and waxing. The primary difference is small, very small. Final Inspection was formulated specifically for use in fresh paint environments.

Final Inspection is available in both 16oz spray bottles and 1 gallon containers. Final Inspection can be found at most PBE stores and if the store in question does not stock the gallon size, they will be happy to order it for you and can usually have it in a day or two. We suggest you use our dealer locator search engine to find a store near you and then simply call ahead to insure they carry the 1-gallon container before driving to their store.

Quik Detailer is available in both 16 oz., 24 oz. spray bottles. Quik Detailer, a favorite among people who show and display their cars, can be found in just about any auto parts retail store. To find a store near you that carries Meguiar's Consumer line of products, use our dealer locator search engine.

********************


The salesman was correct in that both are quick detailers, or mist & wipe products for removing light dust, fingerprints and smudges, but they are different formulas for use in different environments. You can use #34 Final Inspection like you would use Quik Detailer, but you cannot use Quik Detailer in environments where fresh paint is being applied.

If you have never read through the Meguiar's *NEW* FAQ , try to spend some time reading it, there is a wealth of information in it.

Hope this helps...
