Seems that a lot of members are passionate about the brands the use for a wax or sealant. Often it seems that we lose focus due to negative things said in a particular brand's thread.



For the peace of the community why don't we have a Product Brand Truce. The Truce will work as follows...you simply vote whether you are willing to do the following in a yes/no fashion:



1. I pledge to abstain from threadcraps where attacks are made on a certain brand or fan of a brand.



2. I pledge to share honest wax or sealant performance based on my own personal results regardless of brand loyalty or other factors.



3. I pledge to respect opinions of others even if they differ from my experience. (Through discussion we may learn where the differences come from.)



So how about it...Are you in for the Product Brand Truce? Yes or No?



I believe this is a way to bring peace to the community.
 
I don't bash a product I don't particularly like. I just don't use it.



I also don't run around and praise another brand because it works so good for me. I just keep using it.



People just need to learn to keep the bias opinions to themselves.:bounce

Hey, I'm just trying to find a way to make product performance discussions here less vitriolic.



I simply thought this could benefit the community.

Are not most of the guys from over there banned from here anyway? :think: :nixweiss
 
If people are respectful about other's product choices, then I think it will initially lead to more honest and open performance discussion and then later deeper understanding of what characteristics to look for in a product and/or good brand choices that match well for a particular situation.
 
I could care less what product anyone uses on their car. I think more guys should use NUFINISH. IT gives my car a decided edge at the local cruise:spot
 
I hate all products; I've started detailing like they did in the 40's; by tying an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. In those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you’d say.



Now where were we? Oh yeah—the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...



You never know what you're capable of. I never thought that I could shoot down a German plane, but last year I proved myself wrong!

I think process is very important but there is no denying some products do better than others.

So much for the truce. I bet I can name the product you are referring to in one guess :rolleyes: Isn't the second time you've tried this? I think this technique goes back to Chamberlain.

Mike,



Why are you trying to turn this into a product war? I specifically mentioned no brand names. I'm trying to propose something of value here that is completely neutral.



Isn't it time to bury the hatchet around here?

I agree and disagree because its all in the eye of the beholder. What one person thinks is the "best" may be the next person's nightmare. Surely, if you are dealing with trash, you will get trash, but when working with the level of quality products we are all working with here, I think they are just about all in the same ballpark, which leaves only two variables......process and application. Its knowing what to use, how to use it, and when to use it.
 
there are so many variables to choose from- polish, pad and machine and LSP. It comes down to what produces the best results on your finish. What works best for you might not work best for someone else. If I use it I use it because it works.

LOL NUFINISH
 
I have a good friend that posts here and details far more than I do, he's turned me on to several new products and I agree most of the time with his opinion. We differ on some - I think product x is overpriced for what it does and he thinks tire shine y is not that great - but I do. My point is, we all have different ideas of what the result of each product should do or look like. It's the same with everything - let's all agree to disagree instead of trying to convert the non-believers to be xyz junkies. I think when a tread turns into a "let's blow sunshine out the arse of whatever" then yeah, some folks are going to think shills or spam.
