Detail Sprays 101

Loyal Surf City Garage Enthusiasts regularly ask us which of our detail sprays (Speed Demon Wax Detailer and Hot Rod Protective Detailer) they should be using, and what the difference is between them.

Let’s take the second question first. Speed Demon Wax Detailer is the only Enthusiast Grade® detail spray with Pure #1 Brazilian Carnauba and APST® for an incredible gloss without scratching, even on a dusty car, and long-lasting paint protection. Hot Rod Protective Detailer is a wax-free detail spray that uses synthetic polymers to create a glassy show car shine with the slickest possible surface all while giving your paint maximum UV protection, even after multiple washes.     

  So which detail spray should you be using?  Here’s our  recommendation based on what we do at the shop  and the actual experiences of enthusiasts who use  these products regularly. When it comes to darker  color schemes, Speed Demon is the product of choice.  The #1 Brazilian Carnauba brings out incredible  depth and shine, especially in blacks, browns, blues,  etc. But when it comes to bright reds, whites, or  anything with metallic, Hot Rod is the favorite  product. The synthetic polymers provide a brilliant  shine and really enhance any form of metal flake or  color accents. Ultimately, though, it comes down to  your personal preference. The only way to truly  determine which detail spray you like better for your  ride is to perform a side-by-side comparison. Keep in  mind that although each product’s formula is different, neither ever streaks or scratches! – And like all of our Enthusiast Grade® products, each comes with our 100% money-back guarantee signed by Founder Tim Miller: if it isn’t the best product you’ve EVER used, we’ll buy it back, no questions asked.
