I also have some of the Jeff Werkstatt products left: Prime, Prime Acrylic, Prime Strong, and some Acrylic Jet Spray. I used to really love all their stuff and made my BMW Titanium Metallic paint POP !!!

Another product I do not hear very often? Over-the-Counter Simple Green. Maybe after all these years of my incessant harping about not using this product for car detailing or de-greasing because of its whitening/etching/bloom of aluminum, fellow Autopians have finally gotten the message.
Yes, they make a Professional Simple Green formulation that is suppose to very safe for aluminum, but at a cost of about $16.00 per gallon, Meg`s Professional Detailer Line D101 All-Purpose Cleaner or D108 De-Greaser is better. although not cheaper.
Huh...people liking the look of an Acrylic (!) just goes to show of subjective appearance characteristics are...I`m glad folks find what *they* like.
Anyone remember Eco Touch? I was digging around a while back and found this bottle of the Tire Shine and figured I`d give it a go again today. Eco Touch to match the "eco-product" label that I noticed for the first time today on the tire. I remember when this line popped up in Target and then pretty quickly was clearanced out shortly afterwards for dirt cheap, which sent a lot of people on a treasure hunt to grab these bottles for a few bucks each. This tire shine is the only one I remember being able to find at the time in my area.
Goes on easy, nice natural sheen to it. I think VRP and Perl provide a richer finish but this isn`t bad at all. Slowly getting my hands on all of the tire stuff I`ve accumulated to narrow choices down.

Man Chem Guys VRP was awesome. Definitely designed in California. After the first rain it there was no sign of it.
What happened to Kenotek’s show room shine?!?! Loved that stuff, can’t find it anywhere.
Old product that was useless and greatest shoulder work beside 3 sets of 8 overhead military press is Megs No7. Unless I got a bad bottle or something. Very difficult product to apply and wipe off for me
Megs #7 is really only useful for single stage paint.
I’ve got two bottles of #7 just waiting for my next single stage job.
I gather M07 is the only Mirror Glaze "Pure Polish" still available, right?
I always greatly preferred M05 New Car Glaze or the slightly oilier (but still easier than M07) M03 Machine Glaze (worked fine by hand). Or even my second-least fave M81 Hand Polish Polish.
But yeah, *ALL* of the above were utterly useless IME on b/c paint. Complete waste of resources that just took the pop off an otherwise OK Detail (yeah, made `em look slightly *worse*).
They *ARE* great on old-school/tech single stage though (even if I don`t use `em on the Jag ;) ). But once paint tech started modernizing in the `80s they weren`t my choice even on that newer ss.
