They have a few good deals on "Detailer's Pride" products over at Autogeek, including the spray wax with Carnuba (which I'd use as a quick detailer) and the tire gloss. I have always suspected that these products were similar to the corresponding products in the Wolfgang and Pinnacle lines, but have never tried them.



Has anybody tried these products? What do you think?
 
I swear by the Wheel Gel :bow



GREAT for multiple uses.



I buy it routinely buy the gallon and have used it on all parts of the exterior with wonderful results :xyxthumbs

The only Detailer's Pride product I use is the wheel gel so I can not compare to the others.



I use this product extensively on wheels in all conditions (except REALLY bad ones).



The gel clings to the wheel, making it much less wasteful and requires agitation with a soft brush or wash mitt. It foams up like car wash shampoo especially with a wet brush.



I use it on convertible tops too.
 
I have been buying Detalers Pride from Autogeek for years. I use a lot of drifferant products from many venders and you can not beat the value of this line. The Tire Gel, Tire Cleaner and the Auto Wash are killer!!!!!!!!!:up
 
I sometimes wonder if the Detailer's Pride line are just Wolfgang/Pinnacle products without the fancy labels. It also reminds me of 4* - which has both a premium line and a cheaper "pro" line. I'll bet the products are all very similar.
 
Well, I guess there is only one way to check. I'll have to order them and see what turns up.



It could be another situation like with S100 and PS21S.
 
So far I've tried their gel wheel cleaner and window cleaner. I'm not sure about the rest of the products (I'll give them a shot as well) but these two I'll be ordering by the gallons.

If I had to guess, I'd say they are all the same.
 
What are all of these presumptions based on?



I mean, a lot of products perform the same, but they are different formulas. Some products are the same but relabeled.



But it is this guessing which finds its way to becoming the truth.



Who the heck knows.



Just my 2 cents.
 
I think a lot of it is just good business. Why make one off products for 4 different lines, when you can buy a standard formula and relabel it?



I'm not saying this is bad or anything. But it is a very real possibility.
 
I have used the Carpet/Upholstery Cleaner along with OxiClean to successfully remove my dog's vomit stains on my bedroom carpet. It worked up to my expectations. No complaints here.
 
I couldn't find Endurance tire gel around town for nothing and when I was ordering the #16 special from Autogeeks I saw the tire gel and ordered the 32 oz bottle. Now after reading these posts I wish I ordered the gallon. Oh well. Can't wait to try it.
 
I have a lot of Autogeeks products (thanks for all the cool give-a-ways)and there is a difference between say Pinnacle and DP. I think Crystal Mist is the best spray detailer on the market and I do buy the 16oz when I have the extra $$. Most of the time I do the DP Spray Wax @ $39.95 for a gal where Pinnacle'sCrystal Mist is $79.95 a gal. I think the value and the results = a affordable line of detailing products.:bow
 
Although it would be nice to buy Pinnacle and Wolfgang products at the price of Detailer's Pride, they're just not the same. Detailer's Pride is great stuff, but for special occasions and higher end details, I use Pinnacle, Wolfgang, etc.



Meguiar's has several different lines, right? Mirror Glaze, Detailer's line, Professional line, Gold Class, NXT, Medallion, etc...

Let me be clear, Spilchy. This is pure 100% conjecture. I have no inside information whatsoever, and hoped others here might have the answer.

Matt, just out of curiosity, have you compared the products from the different lines and found a real difference? I'm not saying that you are wrong, I'm just saying that we need a direct empirical test.



And, yeah, Meguair's has differenet lines. But, Meguair's is also a much larger company than Pinnacle/Wolfgang with greater resources. Also, the differences beween the Megs lines reflect differnet kinds of purposes. Pinnacle/Detailer's Pride/Wolfgang all reach a similar market.
