I would absolutely love to try both of these products actually. I've heard nothing but good things from both of them. I'm fairly new to detailing but have great interest in it and love the feeling of a finished car or truck with no (or almost no) flaws! I've recently conjured up the bravery to detail one of my family member's "show cars." and ended up getting second. I was able to get the score sheet and looked at the scores to determine what i needed to work on the most. The paint got great remarks but despite the hours i put in working under the hood and wheel wells of this corvette, the marks seemed to be lowest on these areas. I used the meguiar's ultimate black and i thought it looked great but i guess it didn't look good enough. I personally have a silverado and used the ultimate black on the trim on it, it lasted about a week. So the total trim and tire sealant would be amazing to try out. I buy most of the stuff i use from a local auto parts store just because they have the meguiar's mirror glaze products, and that seems to be the best that i've found around here that i can get over the counter.
I did end up getting backing plates and pads from AG though very recently and plan on getting a few other products but it would definitely be nice to try them out before making the purchases. I do this on the side to keep my busy when i don't have my kids, so I'm usually doing a car or two over the weekend. If not then i'll go grab a family members car and work on it for them just to practice. One thing i've wanted to try is a good (non OTC) carnauba wax. I'm using the hi tech yellow wax right now, but would like to try something a bit better and have heard great reviews about the Detailer's max wax, so hopefully i'll be able to try that one of these days. Would love to get the blackfire blackice hybrid monton but that's just a bit out of my price range for a wax i think, even though it would probably bring much better results. In August, i will have a 69 Camaro SS at my house for about a week (so i can work on it after work and nights) to get it ready for a local show. Its Huggar Orange, so i think a good carnauba wax would help bring out the depth a bit more and make it more "Warm" looking. Also looking for a good tire dressing anyway. I'm using the endurance right now and endurance should not be its name as it seems to last about a day or two!
Anyway, i love this site and all the info everyone provides, its truly been a blessing to get involved with it and have questions answered from such knowledgable people! I don't post all that much because I feel like some of my questions are dumb but i read a lot of the info here to get most of them answered! and just for a fun "reflection shot" here's a pic for ya'll (if it doesn't offend anyone of course, if it does feel free to remove it but good lord its a kid), Truck is my silverado that i polished this spring, and looking forward to doing it again soon, all i did to it for this pic wash/dry. You can call out my newbie status by the orange peel effect going on i'm sure. Its just an iPhone unfiltered pic so not the best.
