When it comes to maintaining and protecting your vehicle, not all products serve the same purpose, even when they share the same advanced nanodiamond technology. Two of our most talked-about products, Diamond QD and Diamond Quick Body, are often compared, but they are designed for very different roles.
Understanding when, why, and how to use each one ensures you get the most out of your protection, whether you are caring for paint, PPF, vinyl wrap, or maintaining a freshly protected vehicle.
The Big Picture: Maintenance vs Protection
At a high level, the distinction is simple:
-
Diamond QD is a maintenance-focused quick detailer with added protection
-
Diamond Quick Body is a full nanodiamond coating, made sprayable for convenience
They are not substitutes. They are complementary tools that work best together when used correctly.
What Is Diamond QD?
Diamond QD is an enhanced-lubricity quick detailer designed for frequent, worry-free use.

What Diamond QD Does Best
-
Adds protection in seconds
-
Enhances gloss and slickness
-
Boosts water beading
-
Acts as a drying aid
-
Safely maintains any coating
Diamond QD can be used as often as you like, with no risk of overuse. It is ideal for:
-
After-wash maintenance
-
Spot cleaning between washes
-
Preserving the performance of any Diamond ProTech coating
While Diamond QD can function as a very mild standalone protectant, it truly shines as a maintenance topper, keeping protected surfaces performing and looking their best.
What Is Diamond Quick Body?
Diamond Quick Body is a completely different category of product.
It is a true nanodiamond coating, engineered with spray-and-wipe convenience so anyone can apply real protection quickly and confidently. No professional experience is required.

What Diamond Quick Body Does Best
-
Provides real, coating-level protection
-
Delivers intense gloss and hydrophobicity
-
Requires zero cure time
-
Can be used as:
-
A standalone coating
-
A topper over any existing coating
-
Because of its chemical structure, Diamond Quick Body is not meant for frequent application. Instead, it is best used:
-
Every few months
-
When refreshing or reinforcing protection
-
When you want coating performance without a traditional installation process
Quick Body is protection-first, delivering long-lasting results with minimal effort and making advanced coating technology accessible to enthusiasts and professionals alike.
When to Choose Diamond QD
Choose Diamond QD if:
-
You want fast, easy maintenance
-
You wash your vehicle regularly
-
You want to enhance gloss and slickness safely
-
You already have a coating and want to preserve it
Diamond QD is the product you reach for often.
When to Choose Diamond Quick Body
Choose Diamond Quick Body if:
-
You want meaningful protection, not just enhancement
-
You want a sprayable coating that anyone can apply
-
You are refreshing protection every few months
-
You want coating-level performance without complex installation
Diamond Quick Body is the product you use periodically, not weekly.
Using Diamond QD and Diamond Quick Body Together
These products are designed to work together, not compete.
A common and highly effective strategy:
-
Apply Diamond Quick Body for long-lasting protection
-
Maintain that protection with Diamond QD after regular washes
Diamond QD can safely be used on top of Diamond Quick Body to extend its performance and keep surfaces looking freshly protected at all times.
