Fwiw, I bought some of their extra-large mf towels - they sucked (not very absorbent, cheezy plasticky edging, crap, oh well). Never used any of their washes/polish/wax (and prob never will...)

hmm well i'll keep that in mind. i'm just thinking about trying some new stuff and was thinking wither some stuff from chemical guys or one of the dodo juice waxes.

anyone worked with the dodo juice?

I considered some CG CWG wash based on the posts from some of the pros, however Phil (even with all my noob questions) has been so helpful I am sticking with product from DD.

I've used the JetSeal 109, it seems to work well. A big advantage is that its absurdly easy to apply, you just coat the car with a MF sponge, let sit for 20 minutes, wipe off. Repeat, and you're done. Very quick, and easy to put on a quick coat just for protection without detailing your whole car.

First off I've ordered from DD and CG, both have great products! I order all my interior products from DD.

I've been using a number of the CG products and I gotta say I'm really happy so far. Here's the list:

Extreme Slick Synthetic - Quick Detailer
Citrus Wash & Gloss
EXTREME V.R.P. DRESSALL DRESSING
50/50 Wax

I've also used their Elite Deluxe MFT (yellow w/ black band) and find them to be very good. I also just picked up a blue clay bar but have not used it yet. By far my favorites are the wash and the quick detailer.

good to know. i was thinking about trying out their Extreme Slick Synthetic as a detail spray/clay lube once my gallons of Adams detail spray runs out. i dunno if i'll make the move though. i LOVE the smell of Adams detail spray lol.

I like the CG VRP, but you might want to look into Adams VRT. I also like the CG clear wash.

yeah i use adams VRT anyways. i just ordered some of their blitz sealant and scratch and swirl remover. wondering how the swirl remover will work in conjunction with my menzerna IP...?

Ive used their diamond polish, not sure if they still have that, but I didnt like it at all. Reminds me of XMT. Id stick with Menz. Ive also used their leather conditioner and I didnt like that at all either.

yeah im primarily sticking with menzerna. just wanted to try some CG stuff to see how i like it. a lot of their stuff is significantly lower in price than similar products by other manufacturers.

Yep, definitely. I think its a little overrated too though. But its always a good idea to try things out yourself.

I love Chemical guys stuff, but when it comes to polishes, menz is the way to go

yeah i have not yet used any CG products, and i do primarily use menzerna polishes, so i figured i would just check out their swirl remover and see whats up. they had a sweet deal on 12packs of microfiber towels too, which i loaded up on haha. picked up some of their leather cleaner too. for like 18 bucks a gallon, i couldnt pass it up.
