Most regretted detailing product purchase

I've seen some comments about the GG3. Don't know from experience however.

Would you say it's a power thing with it?

Curious as I've got an order coming, ton of pads, with several new (smaller) plates, including the 3" for the GG6.

Have you used the CCS 4" pads? (That's what I've got coming for the 3" plate.)

i would use the GG 6 with a 3 backing plate for the power, the GG 3 says its for polishing and applying wax. IDK if it has enough power to polish
 
I have a buddy that uses the GG 3 da for headlights and places the GG 6 wont fit. Seams to work fine

Diamondite head light kit for me. My 2008 Lexus ES 350 has a bad yellowish fog/haze and Diamondite didn't do anything for it. Perhaps it's not the product since everyone swears by this stuff? I applied it using my Bosch 18 volt cordless drill. Maybe it's on the inside of the lens?
 
Solution Finish is my newest addition to this thread. While it looks nice, it comes off after a single 2 bucket wash. The thing that REALLY bothers me about it is the price: $30 buck an ounce. If it was ten bucks or so, it wouldn't bother me. I've tried it multiple times on multiple surfaces, as I just can't get over the fact that this stuff washes right off.
 
CG InnerClean. Left my dash and door cards blotchy and uneven in color. I generally like CG products, use many, but this one went in the trash after one use.
 
Tuf shine. I scrubbed my tires for over 3 days with that tire cleaner and it worked great. I applied the clearcoat and it left spots. Used the cleaner again over the next several days and applied the clearcoat and again...spots. I called the company and they wanted to send me a new kit but I had already bought PERL which IMO is a lot better (even if it does have a 1 year shelf life).
 
Lets see....

Any buffer that wasnt varible speed- useless as far as a polisher
Rainx- While it does bead water It always smears or streaks for me
Back to Black
 
TRIX -...went back to Iron-x;
BFWD - poor durability (~2 months), applied to 5 sedans during summer.

Really? Hmm I think it depends on the type of trim. Works great on my wife's eclipse, with a 2 week durability. Does not work on my Honda however....weird.

I got the same thing going. 3.5" LC pac for my GG6, however ill be using 4" Megs pads instead of the 4" LC CSS, better quality IMO.

I agree, CG InnerClean is not a do over.

Seriously?

If I had to guess, I'd say that is easily one of the top ten most popular sealants sold on AG. Great stuff!

What kind of surface prep did you do if you don't mind me asking?

PERL has a one year shelf life? Good to know.

CG Lava. Doesn't live up to the hype and at $70 it should.

I'm glad it's not just me.

I applied it yesterday and was very underwhelmed by the results. Prior to applying it I had used M105,205 and Black Light.

Probably getting those spots cuz tufshine cleans it down to bare rubber. If you missed some spots, they will stand out hard once you glaze or dress the tire. Happens to me but its a great tire cleaner can't knock it man
