Not true, it's available. Did you Google it?
 
Well on CG site the cal it "ALL NEW STUFF LAB KIT"
That includes things that are new... and not out yet....
I guess that advertisement is old then -.-
 
Oh, you meant you can't find it anywhere on their site. Sorry.
 
I know I can't say other websites, but I have glossworkz glaze and there is a place on the east coast that has it, its where I got mine from
 
721 "couldnt cut anything with it".. huh? Their 700 and 721 duo are my main products that I use. Maybe its because I live in Charleston, SC and it gets really hot and humid here. M105 and 205 combo doesnt work for me as it dries up too quickly and dusts like crazy. 700 & 721 though provide me with a quicker correction and wipes off a whole lot easier too, if anything remains. I use them alot with Surbuff and Optimum microfiber pads.

Their window cleaner is good stuff, leather cleaner works great but does need to be diluted a good bit. Their pad cleaners are awesome to work with. I dilute a mixture of that, spray it on a cacked pad and agitate. I then just spray a little water over the top and wipe with a cloth and the pads are clean once again to continue working with without having to remove from the machine.

I actually do enjoy their butter wet wax and have gotten about 2 months out of my applications with it on my own cars and my clients too. I think the wet part of their name has something to do with it though as I have noticed that I get better results on a high humid day or when it rains within a 24 hr period? Dont know why that is but whenever Im asked to detail and it may rain soon after, thats my go to wax since all else has to cure a bit before getting wet.

I do also like their VRP tire dressing; I tried their extreme wet shine and it does look nice after 2 or 3 coats but it doesnt last long at all. One last thing you cant go wrong at all with is their citrus wash and gloss shampoo. It works great with a foam gun and the only issue I've had with it is that it seems to attract the bees during the Springtime.
 
+1 for their waterless. Love that stuff, beads very nice and last a good amount of time.

-1 for their G6. have used it a few times and only once have i got it to look ok by spraying it straight into a micro.
 
I did some big time research on some of their products before I placed an order.

Went with Blacklight, Pete's 53, and V7. The combo looks sick on my black metallic Z1000, head and shoulders above the Zaino I used on it previously. Here's the CG trio:

The stripper scent is also awesome. I went ahead and popped for the G6 for tires, and I like the look, no comment on durability yet. Black on Black is expensive for the can, but if you spray sparingly you can spread the rest and make a little go a long way.
 
I have Pete's 53 wax, which I only used once but love the look it gives. Its going to be my summer wax this year on my DD so I will know about its durability more later.

I also bought a bunch of their big blue monster towels, which look really nice on the site. I ran them through the wash and they felt really rough so I relegated them to spray on wash duty. I was planning on using them for QD'ing but they didnt feel soft enough IMO, and Im glad I didnt because a member on here marred his paint using them for wax removal.
 
I know this is an old post but most of their stuff is great. however the CG speed wipe spray was junk. poorboys stuff is so much better. actually in my opinion the best.

buying the stuff in a gallon is cheap. grime reaper is good but not as good as made out to be. for the price their microfibers are great quality. not quite as good as cobras but their is a price difference. for all-purpose microfibers they are hard to beat quality.

they dont have anything as good as the detailing brush autogeek has. CG carnuba with x-seal is a great wax. outperforms some of their more expensive stuff. the vrp dressing is good and the liquid extreme is good also. they are durable. vrp is not as shiny as it seemed it would be and liquid extreme lasts a while.

This would make for an interesting thread: What works best for people in different U.S. climates - I wonder if there are any patterns that might show. It might even show where the manufacturers test their products.

This is kinda a shot in the dark request, but having not used many of the "sub-par" CG products mentioned by the OP, i'd love to get a sample of some of the products you have loads of, to figure out if they are a waste of time, as i've been contemplating the purchase of several you mentioned.

PM me if this is a possibility. I don't have much to offer in return, but maybe we can barter a trade.
 
Just used their Signature Series Glass Cleaner...and it has been a waste of my time and money. I used it on two cars, both parked in a garage (cool glass) and with fairly clean glass. Both finished with smears and streaks that were impossible to remove. I broke out the Stoners and had clean glass with the usual effort. I'm revising my opinion of Chemical Guys...they must not test and evaluate everything that they peddle? One would think that selling a product like this cleaner might damage their reputation - it has for me.
