Few years ago I spent way too much money and bought boxes of different Chemical Guys products to try out. Few years later and I've thrown bottles away that I hated working with.
To date the only CG product I still love is JetSeal and swear by it.
Anyway its a new year and I'm looking to buy some new compounds and what now and am looking for suggestions.
I've tried Adam's Polishes in the past but wasn't blown away for the price I was paying for it. And the off the shelf Meguiars as well, but it never gave great results.
What I'm looking for:
Heavy compound
Mid compound
Finishing compounds
Sealant (if there's something recommended more then JetSeal)
I use Dodo Juice hard wax and CG Butterwet liquid wax
My cars/colors:
2006 Toyota Corolla - Black (minor swirl marks - major detail happened in 2013. probably due for mid compound)
2008 Toyota Prius - Dark Grey (never detailed - heavy swirling and scuffs from being hit - heavy compound needed)
1998 Subaru Impreza - Java Black Pearl (repainted - paint is incredibly soft and scratches just by rubbing with your hand)
2013 Toyota Tacoma - Super White (never polished, only sealed and waxed. minor swirls could be handled with a mid/finish compound)
I top coat all with DoDo Juice Purple Haze. I need to get something specific/generic for the Tacoma being white though.
I'm also due for some new pads as well. Last time I bought pads for my PC Microfiber ones didn't exist. Is this something I should look into?
