what product has far exceeded your expectations?

[a.k.a. Patrick]

Protectall Do It All..........I use it after every wash, while drying my personal cars....It easily passes the durability period between washes, and is a breeze to use.....Not to mention you can use it EVERYWHERE. Great for RV's as well.........

For this week. DG 601. What a great number of those will sell once people discover what it can do besides being a base for sealants. I'm buying a gallon direct from Mr Bailey.

For me, it has to be Clearkote's Vanilla Moose Glaze. Every time I use it, it just amazes me the finish it leaves on almost any surface.

Agreed. I've been using VM for a long time now and I'm still blown away by the results I get off of any car I use it on.

while i love a few boutique brands, this forum is obsessed with exactly that, boutique. I've been reading on here for over a two year period and have picked up some great, tips, product recommendations & this is the best forum of any forum I've ever been on. I've been detailing for over 12 years so I feel I've had my share of experience with many products.



Non boutique I loved so far:

-Color X : One if not the best OTC cleaners

-Megs 26 liquid: rivals many boutique lsp's

-Mothers Chrome polish: does what it says

-Vroom Microfibers: excellent for everthing

-Duragloss Aqua Wax: very nice durable lsp for a quick job

-Mothers Power Polish: Not bad for a polish



Boutique:

-Klasse All in One: Great for everything, easy to use

-Collinite 845 IW: Long lasting good looking lsp

-Menzerna IP and FPII: my go to polishes

-Optimum OP and OC: User friendly PC polishes good finish

-KSG: excellent sealant



Lately I've been using a lot of OTC products and the Duragloss line as I've had great luck with those mentioned above. I think when you find what works for you stick with it. Its too easy to wanna try something thats all the rave. It changes here all the time whats popular. I'm all for finding and using products that make detailing easier, more effective and yielding top notch results but you don't have to spend your life savings to find a great combo.

I have to include one of my latest faves into this list:



Turtle Wax Gloss Guard



It's a fantastic looking top coat product with exceptional durability. Regular users from the UK reported comfy 6-8 months on outside 24/7 vehicles and 18 months on garaged ones. I acquired my bottle just recently, but I must say that looks-wise it is highly impressive. It is a thin, watery liquid, so you have to apply it similarly to the original 1Z Glanz, and it is ridiculously easy to remove - even when you leave the haze on the finish for two full days.

It's not available here in Hungary either, but a friend was so kind and sent me a bottle from the UK.

Spray Nine.

I used spray nine to degrease the outside of a white conversion van that was in the woods that had algae all over it. Spray Nine ate the grime up and made the white paint glisten. I was shocked at how well it worked and with no streaking at all.
