Does anyone use or tried any of Superior Products offerings? They do produce several products that are similar to each other such as their all purpose cleaners. So which ones did you like and which ones were duds.
Can't find any reviews on their EZ Shine. Might be one of their duds.
 
They have some products I had considered at one time but never ended up ordering - Road Warrior, Dark Fury and Formula 4 Spray Wax.
 
I bought a ready to go spray bottle of Dark Fury at O'Reilly's based on Youtube chatter

That stuff gets tires, arches, bugs, etc clean in a hurry

I have been meaning to go back in and order a gallon and this thread is probably going to remind me to do it

I have heard anecdotally that Dark Fury and Road Warrior mixed 50/50 and then cut to a lower dilution makes a potent traffic film remover

Dark Fury meets the Road Warrior sounds like the title for an awesome B-movie action flick.
 
Been watching some videos/reviews they have what appears to be some good APC/degreasers/soaps that do well as presoak products. I obtained a sample pack of their products, 8 different products for $20.00 from Oreillys, but haven't used any of them yet.
I am going to attempt to combine diluted mixing of the Forumla 4 wax and the EZ Shine detailer in hopes of making a descent drying aid that will offer a bit of short term protection. Not sure how that will pan out but if it does it would be the most economical/protection drying aid possible.

Yes, they are pretty large, I was surprised at the size. The new skyscraper around the corner contains a hotel so the valets leave the "status" vehicles out front rather than run them into the underground (or deal with fitting outsized vehicles, perhaps) so when I go for walks it's not uncommon to pass by a CT. They are even uglier in person than any of the online photos I'd seen could do justice and that's while the skins are still relatively *new*; I don't believe they will age well.
 
For anyone that is interested I did make a Superior Products drying aid from 8 ounces of Formula 4 wax at a 7;1 ratio with distilled water and 8 ounces of EZ Shine at a 1:1 ratio with distilled water and combined those two.
The results left a little to be desired. Not sure I would classify it as a dud but it was not very good. The paint was not very slick afterwards and the hydrophobic properties were not fantastic.
I have another drying aid that I mix by the gallon with 100 ounces distilled water, 25 ounces of Optimum Instant Detailer and 3 ounces of Optimum Car Wax and that is a much better performing drying aid/topper.
In addition the Optimum Instant detailer is a better value than the EZ Shine. The EZ Shine is recommended to be used undiluted at $24.00 per gallon. The Optimum instant detailer is $54.00 per gallon but Optimum says diluted it 3:1 and I use it diluted 4:1 and works great at that dilution.

Your Optimum mix sounds like a winner

I love OCW and OID

I still want to try some Superior Products but they are kind of like Chemical Guys and in my mind they have WAY TOO MANY overlapping products

Sadly the O'Reillys up here don't carry those multi packs so you can try the various products and I don't want a bunch of gallons of stuff I end up cleaning the trash bin with so I think I am going to have to really think this over and see just what O'Reilly can order before I pull the trigger
 
Purchased a gallon of Road Warrior a few months ago. I mix it at 10 to 1 as a pre wash spray. Does great for bugs and most tar.
I also use it in a foam cannon at 10 to 1 as a pre wash. Not great foam but does the job.

Do agree they have way to many overlapping products.

Im getting ready to get a few of their items. My plan is to mix Cherry Foam and either Road Warrior or Dark Fury for a prewash. Those combos should foam up rather well and clean pretty good.

Keep me posted

Oreillys doesn’t carry the Road Warrior but if your mix works I can get DF and Cherry Foam

Oreillys here carries the Road Warrior. I believe either one will work. With my limited knowledge Road Warrior may be a little milder than Dark Fury. Superior says Road Warrior is a degreaser and a soap combined. Either one should do well as a prewash.
