I want to try out Chemical Guys products. I went to their site and found many products that will enhance gloss, and they were all rated high. Which product or combination of these products will give the best, wet-look gloss?

FS Anti-Static High Gloss Sealant
Wet Mirror Finish Gloss Magnifier
Clear Seal Gloss Enhancer & Protectant
Hybrid V7 Optical Select-High Gloss Sealant & Detailer
Extreme Shine EZ Creme Glaze Acrylic Shine
Blitz Acrylic Spray Sealant & Gloss Booster
Extreme Slick Synthetic -Acrylic Polymer Detailer
Speed wipe quick shine
P40 Detailer spray white carnauba
 
Proper polishing will help you produce a deep gloss. But Blacklight topped with V7 is suppose to look great.

This is a perfect example of why I don't buy too much CG stuff - too damn confusing....the products above can't have a specific application it was suited for....
 
Does Black Light only work for black colors? Mine is gunmetal blue.

Ah..CG...the marriage of a bulk products company and a rabid copywriter...with a big mixer and a label-maker...

Very true. I wish they would do some major editing on their site. Things would be so much clearer for new members.

Exactly .. Very confusing.

Yeah I can see your point. I got that impression too. Their site is informative but a bit cheesy. The copy repeats on all those products ... achieves 'amazing' gloss.

I have to give you credit that you don't jump on every new product that comes out. You use what you have first. I can't say the same. People like you tend to have very large bank accounts. :props:
 
I'll give you an example - I own these two washes, 2 bottles of the works....and they give the exact same gloss, suds, lubricity and other attributes - I cannot tell a damn bit of diff - but they are fairly priced and work very well..buy why so many products?

don't get me wrong - great stuff - I just found a gallon of the one on the left for 17 bucks free freight ....I jumped on it...

LOL...thanks for the compliment, but I did used to jump on every new product...back in 2004 (before CG got their forum intro in a fit of pique by DavidB). I'm still trying to use up the stuff I bought back then (and of course a few more things along the way).

I did try a couple of CG washes that Danase was selling (that should date me) and as noted, they were fine and reasonably priced, but nothing spectacular, and I don't think they even sell those anymore because they've moved on to some new colors and new hyperbole.

Well.. that was my impression. I've found when a company has a long list of confusing products that advertise the same benefit often they take the same ingredients (maybe tweak them a bit) and repackage them with a slick, new name. I could be wrong about CG, I'm just saying... I'd still like to give at least one of their gloss products a try, whichever is best. Unless the majority here found no benefit. The best proof is user experiences/opinions, not their own advertising. I appreciate all the input.

:iagree:killer combo from CG. The label spelling errors and Billy Mays style marketing don't bother me, so long as the product work and is priced better than the competitors.

:laughing: Well, exactly. That's what I was referring before about Meguire's and Mothers. Why several tire shine products, etc.,? It seems like they all do it.
