I've tried almost every kind of Detail spray after I wash my car. Lots of wax coats so it's easy. They all seem the same, a little noticeable.
Is there one that's different?
It's possible that the car has too much wax/shine? BTW, I'm a big fan of Carnuaba wax not Nano technology.

Adam's is good.

Layer the carnauba over your nano tech sealant for depth of shine.

I'm also a big fan of carnauba and I have tried lots of different detail sprays over the years. I sampled Pinnacle's Crystal Mist multiple times before actually buying it due to cost but I couldn't resist how well it works. It enhances the carnauba look and feel and also significantly reduces static charge when used. The benefit is that you won't get the small microfiber lint on the surface and immediate dust attraction from the environment. I bought it in a large container to make it more reasonable, still pricey though.

I like Dodo Juice red mist. It works great on top of a coat of carnuba.

Tried Adams, bought it twice, not bad.
Used Pinnacle, bought a big bottle,not much left.
Next up is the Red Mist Tropical, maybe today.

Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer is one of my favorites.

It is available in both a RTU (ready to use) 17 oz. spray bottle, and a 32 oz. and 128 oz. concentrated refill.

VERY easy to use - no streaks or haze. It is compatible with all carnauba waxes and polymer sealants.

Definitely post back your comparison of Red Mist vs the Pinnacle, I'm always looking for better products.

I used Red Mist yesterday. Big hopes, very disappointed. Goes on easy of course but very greasy oily to remove. Had to pass 3 times to make sure. When the overspray went on the glass, it's also harder to remove. Tried 1 Grand to finish the job. Both looked like all the others when done, not too bad.
Going back to try Zaino Z8 again. That's what I started with.
Want to try 3? They are $1.00 for all plus $10.00 shipping. Almost new!

^ I have found the Zaino products to be very finicky when used over non-Zaino sealants. FYI.

As for the 3 you want to give away, save them. Use as lube for when you clay.

Were any better than the Pinnacle Crystal Mist that you also have?

I would also keep those and use them on the wheels, engine bay or undercarriage. That's what I do with any detail spray I don't like.

Farfelc2s

They all seem to do the same thing, working well. Same results, thought one would stand out. Havn't found it yet. Still use Pinnacle as the basis of comparison.Even though I want to give 3 away, have alot more.

For $13 I'll take them if you really don't want them. Paypal OK? If yes I'll shoot you a PM

I should add....

To be honest, I seriously doubt you'll find a detail spray that really stands out as far as appearance goes. The only reason I pay the premium for Crystal Mist is the way it works with a microfiber. Specifically I like how it reduces the lint and leaves a perfectly clean surface as I noted earlier. I haven't found this to be true with any other detail spray. As far as appearance, it really doesn't improve the look. If you want the paint to look better the only real solution is proper polishing, the foundation for any protective/cleaning products. Judging by how particular you are I suspect you already have the polishing right.

That's been my experience.

I had thought that like Waxes, they would do different things than each other. I have found everything I like in each product but not these sprays that all seem the same. Maybe my car is too shiny to notice? It works, so I'm not going to stop using them.

After trying pretty much everything, I only use this now - buy it in bulk and mix it 50/50 with distilled water:
