Default Best between washes detailing spray?

What do you guys recommend for a good detailing spray for a quick wipe down between regular washes?

I use the harley detailer, or more often use pledge, keep a can and a rag in the bags.
Those with a good microfiber cloth, and you're good to go.

Pledge. $9.99 for three big cans at Costco vs. $9.99 or more for one can at a bike shop for the same damn thing in a different wrapper.

Lucas Slick Mist. Mist it on and buff it with a micro fiber rag.

I have been this. It works good with no streaks and smells good.

All of the quick detailers are pretty good without regard to brand. Also, we have a pretty cool DETAILING section on the forum that should get more love. Check it out.

I always wet chamois first and either use the Lucas Slick mist, or wet chamois first then use the aerosol Protect-all. This stuff has UV protection, carnuba wax, and softeners for vinyl/rubber. It can go on anything but the tires. Easy on, easy off. Allows easy removal of bugs. Walmart sells a squirt bottle for about $12 in the RV section and this works the best, but the aerosol is easier and no drips. Either bottle/can will last a couple years with regular use. If the riders that use Pledge would try it on black paint, they would not use it on their color. It streaks bad and leaves a residue. The newer Pledge formula IS NOT what it used to be.
