Quick question on detailing products.

travis1978 · Apr 10, 2016

I am going to buy all the stuff to detail the car properly what do you guys think is the best company to get it all from? I have been looking at Adams and Chemical guys right now?
Any help would be great.

Autogeek.com has a wide selection and some good sales during the year. Instructional videos as well.

For years, I've used Griots Garage and Meguiars products with great success - tried Adams products and didn't like them. In a lot of cases, the final results are pretty comparable - try a couple of different ones and compare the ease of application, shine, lack of swirl marks, longetivity, etc. (That's what wives and girlfriends cars are for.). :headbang:

Hey, my favorite topic. I know this may sound a bit odd since most consumers will err toward Chemical Guys, Adam's, etc. But I'd strongly suggest checking out www.carpro-us.com . Car Pro makes cQuartz (which is a highly respected paint coating) and has a pretty legit range of stuff from mitts to soaps to decon sprays, really good spray sealants (reload is a beast). He has microfiber madness towels too, which are amazing. Best of all the guy that runs in (Corey) is one of the nicer guys you'll deal with. No affiliation I swear!

I swear 100% by Adams Polishes. Their stuff easy to work with, smells great and the results speak for themselves. I've not had a bad experience with any of their products (something I can't say for the more mid-range brands like Meguiars, Mothers, etc.). I'm sure stuff from Griot's and Chemical Guys is great too, but Adam's is what I stand behind.

Sorry I failed reading comprehension. I see you want to know which one to buy, not where to buy it. Well this is the golden age of muscle cars and detailing products. Polymers, Nano-coatings and Carnuba Wax handmade by some guy named Wolfgang in his basement in Germany.

All the recommendations above are solid products. I would just add make sure your technique and equipment are as good as your product and your car will look awesome.

It really depends on what you're trying to achieve. Are you looking to create an immaculate show car that gets an oil change every 100 miles? Or are you daily driving the car and want it to look great while doing it?

My wife's XC90 daily driver gets Meguire's. It's solid stuff. If I were driving a classic once every few months, I'd probably use Griot's. But that's just me. Try for yourself and see.

Wolfgang (all products), menzerna polish and some of the new Mckees 37 product I've used are great.

I am not daily driving it but will pull it out more than once a week. I just wanted to know if their was a clear superior product line. This is my first vehicle I plan on keeping a long time and just want to show it the attention it deserves. It gets tons of looks and thumbs ups and honks every time I drive it and just want to keep it looking nice.

I order Zaino brand "Show Car Polish For Clear Coated Finishes" and apply after washing and then buff with 100% cotton. I was at a Porsche Armada event yesterday and someone asked if my 911 had been recently painted...

Adams pads and Meguiars soap, polish, wax, and swirl removers here. Black Magic Wheel Cleaner.

Clayed and applied Wolfgang deep Gloss 3.0 sealant to my car Fri, The shine is amazing its like looking into a mirror. Super easy to apply and remove.

SpursFan · Apr 11, 2016

Wolfgang Deep gloss 3.0 is awesome. I haven't had time to polish up and seal the 350 but I can't wait to see the results. Next weekend it's finally going to get some detail love!

+1 for the Zaino line. Been using Z-2 Pro for several years now and am always getting compliments. Also a big fan of Zaino's New Z-6 Gloss Enhancer.

Hope this question doesn't show my age. This would apply with people putting the clear wrap on also. My Gt350 build date is May 16th, assume I get it delivered week 2 of June. Does the new paints require the 90 day before waxing? I was wondering with the clear wraps as well? I'm sure the wraps have been tested for this or so many wouldn't be putting it on. Back in my day the paint was said to still be very-porous and still evaporating for at least 90 days after being painted?
