Most regretted detailing product purchase

CG Raccoon Brush: way too flexible and broke after 2 uses
Mother's Back to Black
Several carpet cleaning chemicals from Detail King
 
Wolfgang Fusion, doesn't do anything for me. Its retired to gold cart and tractor duty.
 
I would like to make another comment in this thread. Awhile back I wrote that Mothers Back to Black was my most regretted product. From that post I was contacted by Forrest at Mothers and asked if I would like to try it again and follow specific instructions, as it turns out they were really no more than what was already on the bottle. Sometimes you need to read the label :).

Since then I have used it following the directions and found it to work much better, not the best I've ever used but those products also cost much more, some being three to four times the cost, IMO Mothers Back to Black on par with other products of this type in this price range.

What I don't feel is on par though, is this companies ethic. To think that a representative of a company of this size would contact me over a product costing 6.99 and try and make it right shows me that Mothers truly does care about their customers satisfaction and do stand behind their products. That says a whole lot about the company to me and makes my buying choice easy.
 
Wow that really is top notch customer service! That's just something you don't see very often, and I agree it does influence your purchase decisions.

Simple Green HD APC - not good for quality car care applications. I do however still clean tire brushes and the like with it - where a harsh/super strong APC is good to use. But it doesn't get anyway near my carpets or paint.

Why not for carpeting. It seems to work as well as any other. If too strong it can be diluted.
 
Meguairs Ultimate Polish. Not cause it's doesn't work. I rushed my purchase when I could've save the 10 bucks for the Menzerna which I ordered a few days after.
 
griots garage microfiber towels, (blue and green ones), so much lint i will wash them with regular laundry and use them only for interior/general purpose cleaning. also some cheap aersosol nano diamond shield spray, all my turtlewax products before i knew about quality car care stuff, cheap tire sponges from harbor freight, luckily after about 3 years of trying new stuff all the time i have it pretty well narrowed down and now i buy what i've found works best in bulk.

I like the Nano Diamond Shield. What didnt you like about it? Just curious.
 
Poorboys Trim Restorer. It looks and feels like mineral oil. It fades in the rain. Switched to UTTG and haven't looked back.
 
I have to say that i regret buying all these different spray bottle and not liking a single one, and also the boars hair interior brush. Used it once and the hair was coming loose like crazy.
 
1 Gallon of Pinnacle Clear Coat Safe Wheel Cleaner.

Its a good cleaner, but I wish I didn't get a gallon of the darn stuff.... such a commitment..
