Quick detail spray for shows

Sorry for the newbie question, but I tried to find some reference to quick sprays in the search tool, but didn't quite get the answer I was looking for...

I am just curious what method you guys use for quick exterior touch ups before your shows or meet. Just went to my first and noticed I had some minor water spots from the ride to the show ...

Just curious what would work well for quick application with microfiber towels?... also note that I have to do this in 95+ degree heat and direct sunlight if that is even plausible.

I use Zaino Z6. Amazing product, amazing protection. I've used it for years.

Just recently tried Lucas and had some good results. Like that you can use it in the sun or shade and get the same shine. Not completely sold on it yet so the jury is still out. And it smells like cinamon.

You don't ever want to be doing any washing waxing or detailing on any car surface in direct sun. Put your hand on the hood, feel how hot that is?

That is why I created this thread...

is there anything I can use for 2-3 inches of touch up work from a quick spray bottle for shows when I have already arrived... I live in FL. It will be hot.

If I cannot, then ok...

Adams waterless wash if need be and Adams detail spray. Also they work just fine in the sun if you have no other choice. I do

Hit it with Adams WW first then follow-up with detail spray. You should try Zaino Z8. It's phenominal. So much more than a detail spray, it'll blow you away. Easily one of my favorite products. Amazing stuff.

I use optimum no rinse diluted to its detail spray strength. Works great for removing dust also since I have to drive 1/8 mile down a rock road from my house..

I've been using Turtle Wax Ice in the direct sun on all three of my cars and it works great ... And have the awards to show for it.
