FogFight=streaking,smearing,hazy windows:nomore:
I've tried every imagingable process I can think of with no satisfaction.
 
I regret buying the nxt spray wax bc it was just absolute garbage. Also regret buying every Meg's wax when I still had full bottles bc I now have way too much wax and can't try anything new until I use up what I have.

Not sure I regret any of the products I have bought. But I have simply found different or better products that I now use. There are a number of them. But it's been a learning experience.



Care to elaborate on Carpro Eraser? I use it and like it. I realize it is more expensive then IPA but it doesn't evaporate as quick and is less grabby for me. So I stick with it for coatings.

I'm using Menzerna Top Inspection which is easy on/easy off. Highly recommend it.
 
Carpro eraser is a good product, it's just way too expensive compared to its alternative ipa, I've never used a coating only waxes and sealants, so it may be great for that purpose
 
Mother's Back to black Meg's crystal car wash
 
Meguiar's Show car Glaze 7 not easy to work with. Took weeks to get it all off, even after it looked like it was gone, you could still see it in the sun. Terrible !!!!
 
IM shocked that so many dislike the CG glossworx glass... Ive been using it and have been impressed enough to waste through my others so its all I have.
Maybe youre all using too much product?
 
Speaking of glass cleaners, I've been generally underwhelmed by D120 by Meguiars. Yes it's inexpensive but I definitely wouldn't buy that again-glad I split a gallon with a buddy. IMO, the NXT Glass Cleaner is much better.
 
is the glassworks their blue glass cleaner? because I use that at 1:1 and it works great?

Also feel that sonax wheel cleaner is over priced stinky boutique

I might be the only one in the world that regrets buying CG Blacklight and V7...I didnt like either of them...Traded off the BL and still have a bottle of V7 collecting dust

Everything Turtle Wax. Their paste wax was the first detailing product I used, I was 14 and went to the Carlisle National Car Show.. I went to go apply it to my dad's 68 Torino, and it just smeared and stuck to the paint. It wasn't in the sun either. It took about 2 hours to get off. We had a bunch of people come up and tell us how they either had a bad experience too or they said thanks because they now know not to get that!
 
TW made a great vinyl top protectant many many years ago. I still have some that I've used on the exterior plastic trim. The car was a garage queen but still saw as many as 7500 miles a year for car club trips and shows. The stuff still would look new after a year.

The Ice is pretty good. I actually really like it the Car Wash and quick detailer is all I use well did I know use Meguairs but I wouldn't hesitate buying them again if they were on special. I do agree on the compounds they suck...
