Red Mist Tropical is the slower drying version of Red Mist. It has the same active ingredients as the original protection detailer, but its slower drying formula gives higher workability and less chance of smearing - especially in hot climates. If you find that Red Mist dries too quickly or doesn't spread as far as you want it to, then go Tropical. It is also less likely to react with underlying layers of wax or sealant, due to the milder solvent, and has a more pleasant fragrance.
