    opti-lens durability.

    In my experience plus the recommendation from OPT distributors, you have to completely remove all original UV coating by sanding to obtain full benefits of the coating. I have personally tested this by just polishing a set of headlights and they did indeed turn yellow in less than 1 year...

    need to clean nasty greased door jambs?

    Meguiar's D114 as Quick Detailer?

    Detailed with wax for clay lube?

    Interiors: APC vs Dedicated Cleaner

    The 2 products I now use for carpets as well. Zep Premium Carpet Shampoo works excellent and leaves a fresh scent in my opinion. For vehicles with a little odor that the owner doesn't purchase the higher end shampoo package, I'll spray liberal amounts of Zep Air & Fabric Refresher after a...

My buddy Tadd (dark horse) has a picture here with a couple waxes on his perfectly polished Mustang where you can actually see the difference. I think Dodo Supernatural was one.
