Products that dont live up to the Hype

Good old thread here and I remember us bringing up food in this too. Some people brought up Moe's Grill and I went there this past Sunday and although its good, better than Qdoba for sure but not even on the same block with Chipotle....IMO!

They are all about the same imo

Like Mexican Subways
 
I do respect everyone's opinion on their favorite products. I am new to detailing and used the M105 and M205 combination and it worked very well for me. Took my time 2 x 2 sections, misted it a little bit and I was very happy with the results.
 
I'm not sure if the Klasse twins are still hyped up but I wasn't impressed. The AIO does work great as a cleaner but that's about it. The SG is not very easy to apply especially in comparison with today's wipe on, walk away sealants.

In all fairness I think I applied the SG too thick and it looked pretty bad. I just never tried it again since there are so many other idiot proof sealants that are just so easy to apply.

Would you like to send me the unused KSG? I'm certain you applied it too thickly, been using it since 2005 w/o a problem, ever! Not slamming you at all and yes, its finicky to deal with but only if you don't know the tricks. I've shared the tricks before and I really need to do a definitive guide post for it sometime.

I also mix KSG into my homemade QD using rinseless wash, making a "FrankenDetail" and it works great!

I wasn't impressed with Moes. Chipotle is still my favorite of the three, but qdoba isn't too bad if chipotle isn't around. Also interested in tryin this place called cabo fresh.

I'm gonna have to say Permanon Platinum. I applied this to my wife's car about three months ago and have to say that there's just about no beading or sheeting remaining on the car except the hood where I recently applied PBL DPC.

Whereas my c1 and EXOv2 is going string on my Tesla. Not very pleased with Permanon. I'll give it another go since I have 100cc left, but I'm not optimistic.
 
Permanon works great on wheel wells

Too expensive to buy for that application. I am using the free sample we all got awhile back.

I'd like to try FrankenDetail. What the ratio? Thanks.

Well "FrankenDetail" is whatever rinseless wash I have at the time, which is Turtle Wax rinseless right now, and with that I have an entire bottle (33.8 oz), 2 ounces of Klasse sealant glaze and top with water. This is all mixed into a gallon of water. IMO the best "FrankenDetail" is DG rinseless made into a gallon of QD w/ 2 ounces of KSG. Its been a while since I mixed up DG rinseless as a QD but IIRC its 16 ounces of DG rinseless topped with water. I'm sure the exact ratio is found on the link for DG rinseless.

Thanks. I'll try it this weekend. Just got some Pinnacle Rinseless from Cyber Busters.
 
For me, Optimum polishes, specifically Polish II and Finish, did not live up to the hype. In my opinion, I did not find them to be good at all. Now, I was working on my soft black paint, but the Optimum Finish and a LC Black and Blue pads still caused micro marring.

Now, their main benefit comes from applying Opti-Coat after, but now I'm reading that Hyper Polish is really the recommended prep for Opti-Coat, since consumers, save professionals, do not have access to the Opti-Coat primer (if anyone can enlighten me for the reason why this still is I would be very thankful).

I've used Pinnacle, Wolfgang (Menzerna), Menzerna, Meguiar's polishes and feel like they all outperform Optimum polishes. It's not a SMAT thing, since I get good results with Meguiar's M105/205, it's just for whatever reason, I feel like they're overrated polishes. I finished out the bottles otherwise I would have sent them to someone who enjoys their polishes.

I've been looking forward to the arrival of the Hyper Polish I ordered.
I hope I'm not disappointed.
