Any one use Grape Ape or other products from Top of the Line?

Trade Secret is a great carnauba. It's not very widely used, but it's one of the top paste's in my arsenal.



Their Protein Stain Remover is better than any Oxy powder on the market. I use it on all the bad carpets/upholstery I do.



I just picked up their Xtreme APC, but haven't gotten a shot to try it out.
 
Trade Secret is easy to use and looks great. What is really nice is the ease of use/appearance of this wax. It is really a great "production" product. Trade Secret and similar waxes enables a detailer to greatly speed up the Last Stage, which makes money for you!

Please let me know ASAP how it works as I was looking at getting it.
 
I used the Grape Ape tire dressing. I didn't care for it at all! I'm not sure what it was, but I don't think it was waterbased. Application was a pain, and it didn't look all that great IMO. 303 is MUCHO more better! :D
 
i used the grape ape as well but i perfer the auto magics super dressing over the grape dressing. The grape dressing seemed to wear off too fast.
 
I use hi-temp light cut and medium cut polishes. They are both very easy to work and come off very easily as well, the medium cut is great at removing scratches and most swirls, The light cut is just as good for lesser swirls and scratches. I also have the hi-temp Paint perfection polish(there version of AIO) which is also very easy to use and does a great job.

I have only used midnight express once on my dads black camry and it was kind of stubborn i may have used too much product, im not too familiar with it yet and i have the bahama mama carnauba wax that i havent used yet.



Overall i am pleased with the polishes and i really like the medium cut and light cut. I think there the best bang for the buck :up



Here are some pics where i used medium cut and the paint perfection. (no close ups though) the one on the left recieved medium cut after clay removed about all of the scratches and swirls topped with nxt. The one on the right just got paint perfection and nxt.

I use thier "Black Velvet" wax and like it alot. It's like Trade Secret but formulated for black cars.



I also HT Light/Heavy Cut Polishes from them as well. HT Heavy cut with a rotary is my "goto" polish now.



Both are easy to use and have a pretty good work time so I don't have to add more product as often.
 
Iâ€â„¢ve gotten a number of products (mostly tools, towels and such because I generally prefer to buy chemicals locally) from TOL and always found them good to excellent. Their service has always been excellent.



I use Hi-Temp âہ“Grapeâ€Â� tire dressing (the liquid anyway, I havenâ€â„¢t tried the gel) and like it a lot. It goes on easily, absorbs quickly and Iâ€â„¢ve never had any sling. I put it on fairly thin and would call the look âہ“naturalâ€Â� which is just the way I like it. I donâ€â„¢t care for tires that are shiny or plastic looking. I prefer tires to look like rubber with a dark satin sheen and little or no gloss.



Itâ€â„¢s solvent based so be sure the area is âہ“well ventilatedâ€Â� when you use it. I always leave the applicator outside for a few hours to out-gas before storing it in my garage. It also lasts longer than the water-based dressings Iâ€â„¢ve used.
