I am looking for an all purpose wax that AG has that is similar to CG's Butter Wet Wax. I have no complaints and actually love the BWW. Just want to try something new. Looking for something similar and Carnauba. Also a link or recommendation for a new interior/vent crevice brush. I'm going to be putting another order in here to get the Poorboys Bug Squash and need the other above mentioned things.

I will introduce myself a little later. Life is busy have 2 young kids at home, work full time, and detail on the side Wednesdays and Saturdays. I'm currently booked up until July. I hope to contribute here!

Thanks in advance!

Natty wax since you are ordering pb products.
 
Yes. What was your username there bud? This site has nice activity! Thanks GSKR. I'll check it out.
 
Your going to notice a big difference in durability/performance when switching from CG to brands like Pinnacle,Collinite, and many other brands.

Thanks Buddy. I'm actually going to be ordering up some 3D products. Been eyeing and hearing great things about the HD Speed. I used Collinite 845 for the first time and fell in love with it!

What ever product family I use, and I have a lot of them, I prefer to try to stay within that family for my process. This is by no means a hard and fast rule. But in the case of Speed, it has Poxy in it so it makes sense to me that I would want to top it with Poxy. If you were to use said product then top it with something else that may have cleaners in it, even as the last step you may be messing with the other product. Specifically, when using aio's.

When I use Wolfgang, say 3.0 Sealant which is a great stand alone product but I want some more pop I would top it with Fuzion. Which is what I did on this BMW. WG 3.0 ad Fuzion.





PS I have used many CG products and have my favorites and others I've moved on from.

 
I'm not necessarily knocking CG products. I am however knocking their customer service or lack thereof. Any idiot/business can sell you something. It's a whole other thing to take care of your customers and back the products up. Without that you are nothing in my opinion as a business or a person. CS is everything and essential to be successful long term.

I just don't get all the CG hate. I don't think some of you tried everything they offer. Their shampoos are better than pretty much most of the stuff out there.

And jetseal gets knocked down here too and it's a better sealant than WG.

Very subjective. Jetseal was the first sealant I ever used, plus CG is local to me. At the time I was blown away by the results. One day though I found autogeek. I continuously would read how awesome BFWD was so I purchased it. In my opinion BFWD outclassed jetseal. It was easier to spread, much easier to buff off, and left behind a slicker finish plus a glossier finish. WG was the second sealant and I put WG and BFWD in the same class. I tried many other products from autogeek from companies I had never heard of and realized that they were far superior. I still will use some of their car soaps, but that's the extent of it. There are other shampoos with better characteristics that better suit my needs.

I realize that some products require marketing. But I've become a skeptic when a product is over marketed and over hyped. In my opinion a good product requires some form of marketing, however a great product is marketed by the consumer. Just like a good detailer advertises for steady work, a great detailer can have steady work without the necessity of advertising.

Have you tried the newer version of jetseal? I dunno I tried a few sealants over the last 2 summers and it's still my go to. It just works . Winters are no issues with jetseal.

Jetseal was one of the CG products I tossed out. I didn't like it nor did it live up to it's billing longevity wise down here in the Florida summer weather.
 
The car shampoo from CG is reliable because it's not actually made by them. This is based off what I have been told from some people. CG products I only have right now are HV7, and some microfiber wash.
