User Friendly Products

[JN99]

With all the different products available and all the opinions about which products provide what look combined with which other products, etc. etc. I thought I`d start a thread with a different approach to suit a slightly different audience.



For those of us, myself included, for whom detailing is enjoyable but also a necessary evil and do not wish to spend countless hours on our cars every week or month I thought it would be nice to have some opinions based on how user friendly different products are.



For example, I love Klasse AIO but parked the SG on the shelf because it`s too finicky being removed (I`m looking for a new topper and just got some WG because I read it`s easier to work with than SG). The first thing I noticed when I first used AIO was how easy it was; I was hooked! I`ve recommended it to all my friends who don`t detail but still want to take care of their cars, it`s better for them than any wax they have used hands down.



So post your favorites for ease of use/application, speed of use (i.e. products like leather or glass wipes etc.) low cost, idiot proofness, longevity, etc. and forget for a moment the wet vs. mirror finish, depth, etc. Of course, the idea is not to post about something easy to use but with lousy results, but the stuff that will yield good results easily or cheaply, or seems to last forever.

The 1z polishes are extremely user friendly whether by hand or machine :xyxthumbs

[andriver]

Agree with Bill on Einszett Polishes :up .

[Accumulator]

Yep, I recommend 1Z polishes to my non-Autopian friends and they love `em. Another user-friendly polish is Meg`s #80 Speed Glaze.



Even though some find it tricky (specifically, hard to buff off), I usually get the same people hooked on Meg`s #16 wax. But Collinite Insulator is another one that people find easy to use.

I agree with Accum about the #80 Speed Glaze, great stuff (If your using a PC)....Another line of products, well known for user friendliness are Clearkote Vanilla Moose, Moosewax, and QD Quikshine......All usable in the sun too.....!

i would say poorboy`s EX w/caranuba or EX-P, but they don`t seem to be *that* easy for everyone. but in my limited detailing experience, NXT is pretty darn easy to use. :p

Meguiars Color X, NXT, #26 liquid . Mothers cleaner wax , and Reflection. Eagle One Wipe n Shine, and Wax as you dry. Turtle Wax Ultra Platnum Liqued wax and Spray Detailer

VM + S100 are very easy and produce good results!

All those plus Carnauba Moose and Poorboy`s too. Stuf Carnauba is pretty easy to use too.



BTW, #80 works very well by hand as well since it breaks down quickly.

As a newbie for whom ease of use really matters, I like Megs 9, ColorX and UPP.



Megs 16 is the best but it is slightly more difficult to use than the others. Even with obssessive topping, I figure this can will last me years.

I wouldn`t call any of the products I`ve tried being particularlly unfriendly.. Maybe I`ve lucked out, maybe I don`t know what a really friendly product is :nixweiss



It seems like glass is especially unforgiving as far as streaks and stuff. Stoner`s Invisible Glass gives me great results no matter what material I use with it.. Terry, cheap mf, nice mf, Scott shop towels, etc. I like using it around my apartment too. Much easier than Windex on mirrors and stuff



S100 paste wax is dead simple to use too. Wax on. Wax off.

VM I`ve found very user friendly



1Z seems to be pretty user friendly but I hate the packaging of the product.



NXT is a very easy to use wax I think



I just ordered some #80 so we will see how that works out :up

The Tropi-Care yellow polish is very user friendly. Very easy to get off and on even by hand.



I also have to give a thumbs up to 1Z Glanz Wax. The can sucks but the product itself is pretty easy to work with.

Poorboys EXP is as easy to use as WG, IMO.
