Autoglym Rapid Detailer, Meguiar's UQD, something else

Is Autoglym Rapid Detailer a new product and/or is it any good? I have not seen or read much about it. I have been using Meguiar's Ultimate QD for, uh yeah, you guessed it, quick detailing. I have decided that I don't love it. Too many streaks. Can't use it in the sun. These seem to be the higher end of what is available at Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc. I am tempted by Gloss-It but price and having to special order is holding me back. Is there anything worthwhile at the local merchants for a guy who is not loving the Meguiar's UQD??

Sonax High Speed Wax is my favorite. It actually provides a little bit of protection, and is not streaky.

Unfortunately, anything OTC, can be hit and miss. If you're an enthusiast or an avid DIY detailer, most OTC products might fall short of your expectations. I can tell that a good quick detailer that is OTC is by far Meguiar's Final Inspection. This products works excellent and does not leave streaks. However, it provides little to no protection. If you're searching for a spray wax, our favorite and go to product is einszett Spray Wax. It provides a good level of protection, enhances the color and gloss, and it's not too expensive.

Man oh man what a lot of freakin' choices!!! I guess what I'm looking for is the perfect between wash gloss enhancer/cleaner/detailer that I can use in the sun, shade, hot or cold, that doesn't streak or swirl and is inexpensive. I use a California duster for the pollen and dust but I need to rejuvenate the shine on my black 996 every couple of days. Anyone ever try Autoglym? Anyone? Anyone?

Skeptikal12 is infamous around these parts
I've tried Autogylm as its sold here (Canada) OTC. Its not bad. Their wheel cleaner and interior spray products are decent as well.

I've had good results with Poorboy's products when ordering not OTC.

Does it streak like Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer?
