ZviZZer Quick Shine Quick Detailer 500ml

Gloss and a slick surface between two washes

What is the ZviZZer Quick Shine? A water-based quick detailer that refreshes paint, plastic and glass in minutes, leaves a slick protective film and tops up an existing sealant. It lasts 1 to 2 months or around 1,500 kilometres. Not for heavily soiled cars, and no replacement for a wax or a coating.

ZviZZer Quick Shine is a water-based quick detailer from ZviZZer for quick care between washes. You spray it on and spread it with a cloth, and the formula grabs fine dust, lays down a slick gliding film on the surface and gives the paint instant depth and gloss. It works on paint, plastic and glass and shields the surface from UV, acid rain and clinging dirt until the next proper wash comes around.

• Gloss you can see in minutes. You can refresh one side of the car in about 5 minutes, no bucket and no hose. The Quick Shine wipes off streak-free and gives the paint a deep, glassy gloss you rarely get from a detailer.
• A slick surface with real protection. The formula leaves a hydrophobic gliding film that beads water and makes dirt cling less. It lasts 1 to 2 months or around 1,500 kilometres, far longer than a plain cleaning spray.
• Goes a long way in a 500 ml spray bottle. You work each panel with just a few spritzes, so the 500 ml lasts for plenty of runs. As a topping on a fresh sealant, a light mist visibly extends its beading.

Detailing1's tip from the shop: The most common mistake with a quick detailer is using it on paint that's too dirty. Grains of sand and dust get dragged across the clear coat with the cloth and put in fine scratches that jump out the moment light hits them at an angle. Only spray the Quick Shine onto a roughly rinsed or already clean surface, and refold the microfibre cloth fresh after every side. On a dusty but unwashed bonnet we once put in visible wipe marks exactly like that, and it took the polish to pull them back out.

Spray on, spread briefly, buff off with the cloth

You spray the ZviZZer Quick Shine thinly onto the cooled, clean surface and buff it off straight away with a soft microfibre cloth until the film stands clear.

Work section by section, about half a panel per pass, so the product doesn't dry on. On hot paint in the sun the water content evaporates too fast and you're left with smears, so work in the shade. A second, dry microfibre cloth for the final buff brings out that last bit of deep gloss.

As a topping on an existing sealant, a fine mist per panel is enough. For the last wipe after a hand wash you can put the Quick Shine on the still-damp surface and take it off in one pass with the drying towel, which saves you a step.

Care between washes yes, deep clean no

The Quick Shine is made for freshening up between washes, not for the deep clean. On lightly dusted paint or paint spotted from the last rain it plays to its strengths, but with a thick layer of grime every detailer hits a wall.

Two things it can't do: lift stuck-on dirt and protect for the long haul. If road salt, bug splatter or dried-on bird droppings are sitting on the paint, the car goes into the wash first, otherwise you smear coarse grit around. Before a sealant you degrease the paint first with the Clean Top degreaser, since the Quick Shine doesn't clean deep into the pores.

And it's no replacement for a wax or a coating. At 1 to 2 months it lasts well short of a hard wax, which holds for several months. If you want lasting protection, you lay down a suitable protective product and use the Quick Shine as care on top. If you just need quick gloss and slickness in between, it's exactly right.

For the in-between carer, not the deep cleaner

The ZviZZer Quick Shine is worth it for anyone who keeps their car clean without running the full wash every time. One spray pass after a drive, and paint, glass and plastic look fresh again.

You gain the most as the owner of an already sealed car: the Quick Shine cares for the protective layer, extends the water beading and keeps the surface slick, instead of stressing it with an aggressive cleaner. It's also the quick route to showroom gloss for handing over a car or before photos. On a weathered paint surface left uncared for over years, though, a detailer won't cut it, and there's no way around a wash and polish.

In the workflow the Quick Shine belongs at the end: wash first, then correct or seal, and finally freshen up with the detailer. The one trick hardly anyone uses: put a spritz onto the fresh microfibre cloth instead of onto the paint when there's only thin dust lying on it. That way no excess ever lands on the surface, the cloth glides more under control and you save a noticeable amount of product over the 500 ml bottle.

Anwendung der ZviZZer Quick Shine

In Minuten zu Glanz und glatter Oberfläche

Die Fläche sollte abgekühlt und grob sauber sein. Liegt grober Schmutz, Streusalz oder Vogelkot auf dem Lack, gehört das Fahrzeug erst in die Wäsche, sonst schiebst du Körner mit dem Tuch über den Klarlack und ziehst feine Kratzer.

Die Quick Shine dünn auf den Abschnitt sprühen, etwa ein halbes Bauteil pro Durchgang, und sofort mit einem weichen Mikrofasertuch in eine Richtung auspolieren, bis der Film klar und glänzend steht. Mit einem zweiten, trockenen Tuch nachpolieren.

Im Schatten arbeiten, nicht auf heißem Lack in der Sonne, sonst verdunstet der Wasseranteil zu schnell und es bleiben Schlieren. Als Topping auf einer bestehenden Versiegelung reicht ein feiner Sprühnebel pro Bauteil, das verlängert das Wasserabperlen.

Vor einer neuen Versiegelung entfettest du den Lack zuerst mit dem Clean Top Entfetter, denn die Quick Shine reinigt nicht porentief. Im Workflow steht der Detailer immer am Ende: erst waschen, dann korrigieren oder versiegeln, zum Schluss auffrischen.

Hinweise: Die Quick Shine ist für die Zwischenpflege gemacht, nicht für die Grundreinigung und nicht als Ersatz für Wachs oder Coating. Ihre Standzeit liegt bei 1 bis 2 Monaten oder rund 1.500 Kilometern. Auf stark verschmutzten oder verwitterten Flächen erst waschen und gegebenenfalls polieren. Kühl und frostfrei lagern, nach Anbruch innerhalb von 24 Monaten aufbrauchen.
