Vanilla Moose vs California Clear Coat

I am a big fan of Vanilla Moose and a number of Clearkote's products. Recently however, I have learned that there is a Beauty Shine and American Shine distributor in my backyard. American Shine's Liquid Carnauba and oddly named California Clear Coat have been compared a few times to Clearkote's products as far as quality, ease of use, and level of 'sun friendliness' (Which is a boon as I live where thats all there is). I'm considering trying out American Shine as it will save me the shipping costs and their products are pretty competitive. However, I'm curious if anyone who has experience with these products would be able to compare them so I have a rough idea prior to trying them.
 
I've used both products and both are very good. CCC seems to darken paint a touch more than VM and VM is a little slicker. Other than that, they are pretty close.
 
From what I've read it has a similar level of abrasiveness to VM. Im sure ScottWax can clear that up though. Sounds like I'm going to have to experiment soon with American Shine. Hope it works nice, because I can use the savings : D
 
If CCC is abrasive, it is a very mild abrasive. Dale DeSterno is an American Shine distributor, maybe he can clarify it.
 
Nope, I don't think it will remove any swirls or scratches at all...well, physically remove them at least. It does a good job of hiding them. It is a tru blu optical/chemical enhancer.
 
So, how do you spell it? Is it abrassive, abbrasive, or abrasive? Looks like Scottwax got us there! Anything you suck at, man?
