OVERATED: Which Products In Your Opinion?

Back to topic: WG Instant Detail Spray @ $89 a gallon. IMO it doesnt work as well as FK425 or OID which cost 1/3 to 1/6 the price or DP Wheel Glaze its not very durable compared to DG 105 and is harder to work with too. Just my $.02 FWIW!

I've been considering trying some WG products. What didn't you like about the Instant Detail Spray? I haven't tried FK425, but I have OID. I like the results I get with it, but I do have a little trouble with streaking.

Its mostly dont find anything exceptional but the price! OID can be streaky and so can WG IDS. FK425 streaks less than either and is super slick too! Its $29 a gallon and seems to be the AG forum favorite if you study old threads. DG AW is great too IMO,

Thank You for the help. I have noticed the love for FK425. I'm sure I'll throw it on an order at some point.

The Blue T-Handled with Gray Foam ends Lug Nut Cleaner. It is overpriced and the Foam Pads last about one or two Vehicle Cleanings.

That's weird. I have a lug brush and am still using the first foam that it came with. The other 6 are still in the bag!

let's see... a few arrived in the package where the foam fell of the stick. the glue is cheap and after a few uses they would fall apart (i like the lake country foam on a stick and it's designed alot better, see below). a waste of $5, never again...

I don't even know what these are?
 
Poorboys SSR1. I was also not a fan of their spray and gloss.

I do like SSR2.5 and Spray and Wipe though.

Ahhhhh! Purty! Those do look much better actually. I have the edge foam swabs as well but they were all on the sticks when I bought them. I will admit I'm not super happy with the adhesive as one of them did come apart after using and washing a few times but I just figured for the price it wasn't that bad (1$ each).

Since then I have some swabs a buddy hooked me up with that really shine. The ones he gave me are probably one of my top 3 favorite tools. They are much smaller and go anywhere. Anyway the one you show there seems very nice as well.

The Edge Foam Detailing Tips, swab detailing tips, auto detail swabs, detail swabs

The Edge Detailing Swab Foam Tips are made of the same foam as The Edge 2000
foam buffer pads. These detailing sticks are excellent for cleaning wax or polish residue out of body seams after you’ve used a polisher. The foam textures range from porous scrubbing foam (black) to soft, absorbent foam (white) for applying protectants or general dusting.

Five varieties of Detailing Swab Foam Tips:
  • Black: aggressive texture for scrubbing rubber moldings or trim
  • Yellow: moderate/aggressive foam cleans up stubborn residues in seams or vents.
  • Green: moderate texture foam cleans dried wax from around emblems or body seams
  • Blue: fine texture foam works well for gentle cleaning of interior surfaces
  • White: ultrafine texture can be used to apply wax or protectants in tight places
 
megs last touch. it smells nice but for me not that great. for a drying q/d it smeared like crazy .
