CG's the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Citrus wash and glass, citrus wash, EZ Creme glaze, Blacklight and V7 are what I have liked so far. Jet Seal I have used once it looked great not sure on durability. I have Ventura Bond and P40 to try. The DA 5" BP is really nice but I did rip it after a few details, it was out of warranty but Paul sent me another for free along with free sample of P40 so I thought that was a great gesture. I want to try the Hex pads

 

the hex pads are nice....... I have a few orange ones, durable.

 

I didn't really care for the citrus wash and gloss. It never rinsed off residue free for me.
I did like citrus wash and clear but it wasn't concentrated enough so I switched to the citrus wash as it's more cost effective.
EZ-Creme glaze is a joy to use and gives a nice look.
Diablo wheel gel is nice but not needed in most cases as regular car wash or apc will do, unless they are expensive aftermarket wheels.
E-ZYME leaves a dripping-wet finish and smells fantastic. The only downside is it's very pricey.

 

Black Light, It's not a glaze, not very impressed with it longjevity as a LSP, it looks good smells pretty decent and it is so-so to apply. I washed my black Audi, clayed, then applied BL followed by V7. Just thought I would throw this out there.

Barebones sprayed on a clean engine department allowed to sit and then excess removed looks fantastic and is holding up great after a week in my truck, nice product and I am glad I went ahead and bought a gallon. Sprayed engine compartment with Zep citrus 4:1 brused lightly and rinsed, dried lightly and applied barebones allowed to dwell then wiped it down with a Costco towell which for the money is absolutly unbeatable!

V7 looks good, smells good, can be streaky, but most of it is due to my rushing things, don't apply in the sun, partial sun, light to little sun, it will streak. It does last a week or more and several days of rain (5 out of 8) it is still beading water well. And I know it is the V7 because right now it is the only product on my black lincoln. I strip the 845, washed with dawn, clayed, applied V7, three days later I washed with MSUG and reapplied V7, and it has not stop raining since and there is still some decent beading action going on. I like my Ardex spray wax better, but v7 is cheaper.

 

I found two coats of BL and top it with v7 after every wash extends the life out, but it only really lasts about 3 -4 weeks without ever topping it.

 

I use a ton of cg shit. Cwg bare bones silk shine vrp and of course stripper scent I get by the gallon I do use the polishes. I use scratch n swirl on heavy shit than pro Polish. Final Polish is also nice and I use revive on quickie used car work. Yeah there are other suppliers but Paul treats me right when I come through and that's worth something to me.
