What are the easiest products to work with that you've used?

Most of these probably are repeats. For me, these are the easiest to work with:



AIO - Easy to apply & remove and good for a variety of uses. No learning curve required.

UPP - No problems what-so-ever. Could almost remove it just by drawing a MF towel lightly over the surface. Ok, not quite that easy.

EXP - Almost as easy to use as UPP. Haven't had some of the "day after" spotting or streaking that I've seen others post about.

Glass Scrub - Very easy to use. Takes a little elbow grease, but more passes with less pressure works just as well as less passes with more pressure.

OCW & HGAS - Wipe on, wipe off. Super easy.



There are more I'm sure. I actually don't have many products that I don't find quite easy to use. No problems with SG for me and my "problem" with 2180 is that I am not careful in application and sometimes get blue crap stuck in crevices and is super noticable (user error).
 
FMJ is the easiest product to remove out of what I have tried, no matter how thickly it is applied. Goes on easily as well. You will be using it often, as durability is questionable compared to other synthetics.

HGAS streaks often on my black car. Forget about using it on glass unless you switch towels every panel. I'm sure it still streaks on my silver car, but you cannot see it.



CMA is unresponsive to my e-mails about it.

I wouldn't consider Natty's as being easy either. Not as easy as S100/P21s.

is nattys blue hard to work with, if so how?

I've found that my Poorboys EX is extremely easy to work with and shines great, I'm using optimum compound/polish and they are easy enough I guess, sometiems they can be hard to take off but they turn out pretty good, havent tried any other lines yet, heard a lot of good things about AIO and souveran products

I'm not saying Natty's or NB are hard ... but I don't think they exactly fall in the easy category either.



I agree EX and EX-P are very easy, I've used them on dark cars in direct summer sun and still buffed off easy.

I agree with your comment. I usually use AIO/P21S and just yesterday tried Nattys Blue over Klasse AIO and found it harder to apply and remove than P21S. maybe addition coats of NB will be easier but if not I will drop NB from my list :(

You may want to reconsider that considering durability. It's not like NB is a bear to buff off if you apply it thinly. It's just not super easy like S100/P21s IMHO.
 
IMO...

Easiest sealants to apply and remove - FMJ, BF, WG.

Easiest wax to apply and remove - Max Wax, Natty's Blue
 
Wolfgang Sealant is the easiest detailing product ever, very forgiving.



P21S paint cleanser



Z8 spray sealant



Natty's wax is very slightly easier for me because s100 is a little tough if dried too long. Not a problem if you WOWO ths s100, but I find it is more durable than Natty's if you let it haze. IMO, both are the easiest waxes I've tried and don't stain trim.

Haven't tried FMJ. I've never had a problem with HGAS when used with EXP, UPP or SG. I assume that you are having problems with HGAS on a car with FMJ? If so, that's weird because I thought HGAS was made to complement FMJ. I've also used HGAS on silver, brown metallic, black and dark blue with no problems. Perhaps temp and humidity have a role in that. I've had problems with UGE with streaking on UPP! I thought that was weird as I would assume that they would be compatible. Perhaps my user error, but with HGAS working so well for me, I gave the rest of the bottle away.



Perhaps you should try their live support. They seem to be very responsive with all of my questions. I haven't purchased from them in a while since their shipping costs to Hawaii are worse than UPS and Fed-Ex rates and I've since found other vendors with better shipping and the products that I want/need.
 
All the Wolfgnag products I have been trying are easier than almost everything else i have tried that include most of the big boutique names.
 
In general, I've found that glazes aren't that easy to use (#7, FTG, etc). They do a great job, but as their oils don't really dry, I am often pushing the product around until it is completely mopped up.



Prima Amigo, a polymer glaze, was surprisingly easy to use. It works quickly and dries fast, almost like eraser dust (except it doesn't get everywhere). Removal is a breeze. Durability and aesthetics are unknown for now...

What about VM and RMG?
 
Unfortunately I have never used those, so perhaps I am unqualified to state that Amigo is easy to use for a glaze. I can say that Amigo is significantly easier to use than #7, so perhaps someone can help compare...
 
Sounds like CG's Creme Glaze and DG #105 should be on the list.



Wished I would have included in my original post that by easy I mean products you can apply to the whole vehicle before removing. A product like KSG wouldn't fit that bill even though using WOWO and a little Sonus makes it easy.
