Quick Detailer vs Waterless Wash?

What are you guys keeping in your trunk for the occasional bird bomb or away from home quick clean? I've been using Meguiars QD for awhile but I've been thinking of switching to a waterless wash. It looks like CG has two different versions (what's the difference?) and even Meguiars has their own version now.

I now keep a small spray bottle of Optimum No Rinse w/Wax in the trunk with a heavier concentration.

I too had kept QD (Adams) in the car, but QD doesn't do a good job of cleaning and can smear and scratch.

ONR can be used for several duties depending on level of dilution and is more cost effective.

This is just my opinion and you may not feel QD does this.

When I get bird poop, I spray, then wipe with paper towel, then clean the panel with spray and cheap microfiber cloth.

Key to whichever product you use is to totally saturate the panel and use all 8 sides of the cloth.

Sonax Detailer.

Bird bomb removal. Meguiar's Bug Wipes. Let it soak ny pressing and holding over the offending stain. Some of it dissolves and the rest wipes off.

Similar here but I blot initially after getting the bomb wet. Only use a napkin if in a pinch. Otherwise, MF.
