I like CarPro Ech2O and Wolfgang Uber Rinseless. Wolfgang is the easiest to use and residue free QD I've tried so far. It's basically replaced any dedicated glass cleaners.

think about it. The detergents are washing away the protection capability, as well as some gloss enhancement, of the reload while washing away the dirt and grime. you are wasting both products that way. Utilizing both products is actually hindering the performance of both products.

That's the same concept as mixing a compound and a wax. The wax wont let the compound work correctly, and the compound wont let the wax bond properly.
100% agree... ReLoad is a sealant, which should primarily only be applied after decontamination of your cars paint surface. A good detailing spray should add another thin layer of protection on top of any sealant/wax to help the longevity of the applied product, as a drying aid, and for quick polishing of lightly dusted surface.

Never really used a detailer spray, but I do meticulously wash. Question about detailer spray, doesn't the dirt and dust already on the car scratch the finish?

Only if your method for applying and removing said dust/dirt are done poorly. I can't imagine why anyone would feel that detailing sprays, even waterless wash sprays are meant for dirt removal... I mean light at best, just wash the damn car!

There is just so many...and I've tried so many...

Despite that, I keep going back to PoorBoy's World waterless wash. Cheap, effective, no residue, even smells good.
