Z-CS - gets a bad press around here, but the first time i used it I found it added more gloss to the Z-2 finish than i got from Z-8! Less slick but beads and sheets well and seems to be holding up nicely.

Bilt Hamber Surfex HD - dont think its available in the US yet, but is a water based safe degreaser and i cleaned door shuts etc with a 1% solution! Great wax-safe pre-soak at 3% and mucky engine bays are a breeze with a 5-10% solution and its really cheap as well.

I`ve been using a Sonus foam applicator with CS and have been getting great durability. It looks like adding a coat of clear on light colors.

SSII (looked better and lasted longer then I was lead to believe), OCW (so easy to use, looks great), ONR, FK 425 (thought it was going to be all hype and it proved they hype was right), FK 1000p (easy to apply, looks fantastic and lasts), M105, SIP (another one I thought was just hype), 4" LC flat pads (work even better the 5.5" pads with PC, they correct very well)

i would have to say good high quality microfiber towels. it`s amazing how much easier they make wiping product(s) off... :up

Duragloss Nu Glass. Best glass polish I`ve used. Took out some old nasty acid rain.etching on my conversion van. Presta Metal Polish, a fantastic product for chrome and aluminum. All from Carquest.

All DG products that I`ve tried have gone above and beyond:

601/105/111: can`t comment further on what`s been written on this board

952 AW: awesome

501Marine & RV Polish: a good AIO especially on white

253 TMD (Tire & Mat Dressing): good non-sling tire dressing

271 RBD (Rubber & Flat Black Dressing): great long lasting matte finish, bonus: works fantastic on exterior plastic and lasts for months!

902 CWC (Car Wash Concentrate): `nuff said

471 BR (Bug Remover): works advertised, Will not remove durable polishes.

481 WE (Wax Eraser): Erases the white, chalky residue and leaves the textured surface like new - followed by 271, makes plastic look as new!

505 WSR (Water Spot Remover): works as advertised

755 NG (Glass Water Spot Remover): use w/ orange pad and pc - great!

agreed, all the DG products i`ve tried have not been let downs too. i just wish they were more readily available OTC (i know i can order them online, but it`s easier to buy them in person). the carquest i buy my DG products from, sometimes look to have old stock as the bottles are really dusty and beaten up a little and there`s really no way of telling how old the stock is...

OCW is up there on my list right now. It left such a nice gloss on my m3, and then when it rained, it beaded like crazy. Best thing was that it took me about a minute or 2 to finish waxing. TIME SAVER!
