    What's your all time biggest disapointment detailing purchase?

    What detailing product that you have purchased in the past was the biggest let down? For me I would have to say CG WindowClean. Stuff streaked bad and did a horrible job imo. Anyone spend some big bucks on something only to want to throw it away?
