What's the difference between brands?

DP is American made

Pinnacle is all natural

Wolfgang is imported polymer technology :xyxthumbs:

I as well am a huge fan of Auto Glym HD wax, but I still love my Max Wax too... :D

My personal prefrences may be different than CeeDog or A41.8tqm, that doesn't mean that the products they use are better than the ones I use and visa versa. It's all about using the products correctly.

I am not loyal to anyone brand. I believe all individual products need to stand on their own merit. That being siad the track record for Meguiars has been excellent in regards to emerging technology on polish, wax, abrasives and now pads and paper. I am by no means married to Megs products at all but when I look at my arsenel they have the majority posistion in the 70 to 75 different products I use in a given week.

Keep using Tech Wax.

Its a great product, you can get great results with a wax or sealant without having to spend over $50.

Meg nxt 2.0 is a sealant wax, I was going to go 3 coats with that then keep
a cover type wax on that. A wax that I can come back and re apply maybe every month or so.

Ouch found out the hard way with that one. Decided that my camaro looked so good
that I would wash and wax my 2007 Red Avalanche. Poor thing gets a wax once a year always just parked in the sun and done WRONG!!!

So washed it the other evening in shade, then spent a long time removing tar. So next morning the only shade was under the big oak tree in front. Lugged two hoses to reach the truck and re-washed the Avalanche. Then dried him off and went to waxing.. Tree sap everywhere. Yuck! So now have to detail and start all over. That sucker is way bigger then doing my Camaro.

I wrote that. From 2002 to 2003 my job title was "Corporate Writer". Their FAQ was about 22 pages long in MS Word, I re-wrote it and when I was finished it was over 60 pages in MS Word and I set my margins at .5 on all 4 sides.

LOL, Mike, your crazy man (In a good way)! :urtheman:

I was looking to quote you on the descriptions of each brand, as I posted above, but couldn't find the thread. Maybe I was mistaken...?

I have a Synergy Green 2010 Camaro (light color) that I have waxed 3 x's with Meg's NXT 2.0
Today driving to my son's house I passed a RED SSR, I think it was the one I traded for my Camaro. It looked awesome, wet looking and SHINEY. My Camaro looks
shiney but not awesome.
So since you use Meg's products, what would you suggest I use next to get that wet-shiney look? I do everything by hand so ease of wax removal is important. I just don't have that awesome SHOW CAR look yet.

Why oh why is only 1 person pushing suggesting Coli 845 or better yet 915 as the pure carnuba topper???

845 is a GREAT liquid wax great shine, wet look, and duability at a fair price it is my go to wax hand down.

915 is a pure white nuba that I absolutely love the finished product from at 30$ a tub it is not going to break your bank and any difficulty in using is far outweighed by durability

Just don't judge them on smell :)...

I can't decide between the 2 which i like better and think a 50/50 on my hood after next polishing will be in order to decide. Just be aware removing these guys from black trim is not fun so take a little extra time applying if you try them out.

I actually dont have any experience with Coli. It is listed as a sample, but, not available to order. I tried to order a sample of it with my order this weekend.

I suggested SSII because it gives my white car a really slick "wet" look which is what ramar is looking for. I have not tried it on green, but, it looks like liquid candy on my white car.
 
When I started caring for my cars again, since I was a kid, , but not really "detailing", the only thing I knew was that Megs made good stuff and since I knew nothing except Megs cleaner wax paste (in a purple can) from when I was a kid with my first car, I just went to the store and bought Megs for what ever I needed. Wax, cleaner wax, and because it was a Megs product, scratch-X for the scratches I had. The Gold Class liquid wax and Scratch-X worked wonders on the car and I had no complaints, and many complements on the paint.

However since finding online ("prescription") products to replace "OTC" (LOL), I tried WGDGPS and was very pleased at the results.
Since getting a PC this year I've been using Menzerna polishes with the WGDGPS and the same car now looks truly amazing! I even do the rubber and plastic trim with the WG sealant and this 8 year old car looks brand new - at least!

Even though I've learned a lot this past year and share my new knowledge with friends/neighbors, I still happily recommend Megs products to anyone that simply wants to go to the store and pick up a wax or other product.

I have a new 2010 Syber Green Camaro, have waxed it twice with the Meg NXT 2.0 wax. What would you suggest I use to keep a great wet waxed look on this car. .

I suggest you go with Ultimate Quick Wax between your regular wax sessions with NXT2.0.

I'm a big user of Meguiars products. But recently I feel as if the are making too many products where as years past they focused on the pro detailers and the serious enthusiast (concours quality). I feel that if you make a good wax and stand behind it, why make 3,4,5, or more different waxes (except for a synthetic and a pure carnuba). I just joined this forum and I am interested in the products here.

My question is what is the major difference between DP, Pinacle, and Wolfgang Lines. If I interpret the descriptions correctly, DP is more of a professional line (entry), Pinacle would be a step up for the enthusiast, and Wofgang would be the high end boutique line.

I am looking at purchasing a new car and it will probably be black. If the way I interpret the lines is correct, than I would be interested in the Wolfgang line. So would the polish enhancer be used before a complete detail (after the clay bar but before the swirl remover), or only after a wash when you plan on waxing or sealing. Next, when would you apply the fuzion estate wax, on top of the paint sealant or in place of the sealant.

Lastly, I've been reading rave reviews about autoglym HD. How does that compare to the Wolfgang paint sealant or estate wax?

Sorry if this was long and these questions have been answered elsewhere (I just couldn't find them). I have 5 different paint cleaners and I'm not a pro detailer. I am just very anal with my cars and I'm looking for high end products to deliver amazing results and streamline the amount of products I have. Thanks for any advice.

Meguiar's makes products to fit just about every person's specific needs (that is why they are so great IMHO.) Meguiar's makes sealants, waxes, polishes, cleaners etc... Some may see this as a turn off, but just remember that many of their newer products are pretty revolutionary in their respective segments. M105 an M205 are testaments to that. You need to understand that Meguiar's often introduces newer and better products into the market when they feel there is a need for such products. Also as newer technology becomes available, they implement that technology into their newer products, or improve upon the already existent ones. Not everyone wants or understands the need for a fifteen dollar a bottle sealant like NXT, some would much rather get the cleaner wax instead. There is nothing wrong with either one, but aren't you glad we at least have the option to use both.

You think Swissvax or Zymol is boutique? I know that in some countries Meg's NXT2.0 is like $80.00 bucks.:xyxthumbs:
 
The moral is to use what YOU like and not worry about what others like. There are lot of overly exuberant users whose opinion either is fixated on a brand, one product, or one aspect (not OTC, OTC, cost, selller).

If you read the "disappointing products" threads you will see a variety of experiences with the same product. There may be product issue or people who just do not know how to use them.

It is all about what works for you.

For example, I would think a good correction detailer (does paint correction well) could take most any polish system (Menz, Meg's), figure out how it works well fairly quickly, and get good enough results.
