What is show shine?
A show shine product is usually sprayed on and buffed off, and generally contains oils which will make the car very shiny, but don't last long, often only hours.
These kinds of products are not designed to offer any protection, and as the name suggests are ideal if you are displaying the car at a car show and wish to put a little extra shine on it, or need to buff off some finger prints or smudges.
In many ways this is similar to a quick detailer, but because they may contain silicone oils, they are very much avoided by professionals who may need to work around body shops. Such products are rarely bodyshop safe and can cause serious problems. However, they are fine for enthusiasts who want to add a quick extra gloss.
