What does everybody use to spray the car down at a show?

I have noticed alot of poeple use that meguiars stuff, but the one time I used it I didn't get it off like instantly and it stained my paint till I washed and waxed it again. is there anything that I could use in sunlight? everything Ihave found as a warning not to use in sun. just wondering what people are using.

I use the mequires stuff, and when I have it the Zaino stuff. they both work great,

as far as the staining, use a little ammount, and wipe off instantly and it works great.

Instead of spraying the stuff right on the car, spray it into the cloth or towel and apply it that way. It won't dry as fast and applies smoothly in the sun. I use the Meguire's detail spray or Wizard's Mist and Shine. The Mist N Shine leaves the surface feeling very slick and fills in minor imperfections leaving an outstanding shine. The only problem is, it costs anywhere from $10.50 to $14 a bottle. It's really good though!

I use the Zaino stuff and like it says above.... spray it on the towel ....not the car. This way it won't dry on the car before you can wipe it back off.
