    I recently purchased a 2016 Maserati Granturismo and looking for recommendations on detailing products that you all have used. Not talking about waxes or polishes, just a quick shine before hitting the road to get the dust and dirt off. I was told to use Pinnacle Crystal Mist Detail Spray or Meguiars Quick Detailer ..

    Any thoughts or recommendations?

    I've used both. Pinnacle is easier to use, doesn't streak as much & I'm using it on a Black 64 for one of my cars

    I have been very impressed with the Pinnacle product, and their Souveran paste wax. I have used many detailing sprays, Pinnacle is best for general detailing, Mothers is very good for more minor detailing as the more readily available product. Some of the sprays have an offputting chemical odour, they work ok but not pleasant to apply.

    Some other products, the 303 Aerospace is great for weatherstrip and interior plastics. Chemical Guys VRP Dressing for tires.

    There are lots of leather products with their fans, Leatherique has a following, but there are some experiences that suggest might be best on older types of leathers. I have found the Zaino leather in a bottle to be safe and easy to work with on newer leathers.

    Some other Q-D's that are very good, Gyeon Cure, Adam's Quick detailer and Kenotek with it's anti static formula. These are my favorites for their ease of use, non smearing/streaking capabilities.

    If you don't mind spending a little more money, Gloss It QD is one of the best I've ever used. It doesn't streak and I even use it on the glass and all. It's got an incredible slickness and you can cut it with water to make go a little further.

    Also be careful wiping down or dusting off your car, even with a QD you can install swirls. Not hard to do.

    Yes, good point, I use the California Duster to get dust off the surface of the car before using the detailing sprays.

    I've used Pinnacle Crystal Mist for several years with great results. A couple years ago, I bought a spray bottle of Car Guys wheel cleaner after getting tired of working on brake dust so much, and it worked exceptionally well. I then tried their Premium Hybrid Wax; if the Pinnacle is a 8.5, the Hybrid Wax spray is a 9.5. The shine is almost to the original sealant gloss, easy to use, lasts a little longer than Pinnacle. Either one works well (tried several others before getting to these two), but the Car Guys stuff is great. They also follow-up with care notes & usage tips, and seem to care about your satisfaction in ways the larger companies don't.
