Throwback Thoughts: Favorite Detailing Product of Old?

[DUBL0WS6]

I still have some.

I bought 4 or 5 cans of CD2. Still have a few. I use it about once a year on my car.

Another thread recently reminded me of Eagle One Nanowax. Going to have to make that my top pick for favorite detailing product from simpler times....the good ol' days where OTC was good enough.

Like Bill D., Liquid Glass but it's still available.

I'm surprised it's still being made. Back when it was really popular Corvette owners used to swear by it.

Try Eagle One Wipe and Shine. I think its better then Nano Wax.

Astroshield, Meguiars Lifetime Polymer Sealant, and Deep Crystal Paste Wax, although I’m convinced that it became Mirror Glaze #26 paste wax.

I always suspecter there was a relationship between the Deep Crystal Carnauba Waxes and the M26 offerings.

I still remember buying my 1st Red Box of Duragloss #101. After using Simoniz Original in the Yellow Can....I thought I had made it to heaven. I am not even going to mention "cheesecloth" used for polish/wax removal.

I still use a lot of that stuff. Very mild, light swirl removal, but excellent protection and longevity. Whenever someone has a vehicle in decent condition, and just wants a durable "wax job", DG101 is what I prefer to use.

I started using Kit paste wax on my grandfather's 67 Impala. I moved up to Rain Dance when I turned 14.

I never picked any up back in the day. I got mine within the last few years.

I lost my 2 tins somewhere in a house move.

Sure does.

Funny, on the sidebar of that video was one for Liquid Lustre. I bought some of that at Autorama in 2004ish. I remember being happy with it but the detail bug hadn’t hit just yet. Don’t remember anything about durability though.
