Just a few comments:

I never thought of using the detailing spray after washing the car, if the car has ample wax/polish/sealer/etc. there would be no need for this.

There are a few things that you definitely need to keep in mind when using a detailing spray:
1. Know when to say when, if the car is too dirty it is a very very bad idea to use these types of products,
2. always good to use a car duster before using the detailing spray,
3. check your towel very very often, make sure it is not getting too dirty or you are trapping anything in it, you don't want to scratch the paint,
4. detailing spray works fairly well on wheels, spray the COLD wheel, use a wet towel and wipe clean, follow up with another quick spray and wipe with a clean towel.
5. If you are going to attempt to maintain your car with the spray, do it OFTEN, like every 2-4 days, don't let the car get too dirty.


Some other brands of detailing sprays include:
Griots
Poorboys
Chemical Boys (brand sounds scary, but I never tried it so I can't really comment)
Sonus
Pinnacle
DP



There are now interior sprays available too...
