The hardness of the wax, and stringent VOC regulations, means that it is impossible to mix more then 35%, by true wet volume, of wax into a solution. The quality of oils and ingredients inside the wax suspension are far more important then the dubious marketing claims made in regards to actual and impossible amount of wax content. In natural state, raw carnauba is ranges in color from light brown to a darker olive-tan depending on the age of the resin itself.

    Classic Motoring Accessories- A company founded in 1988 by Terry Freiberg, CMA has grown to encompass a large variety of companies and products used in the detailing industry. CMA has e-retail sites such as properautocare.com, hawgwash.com, and properrvcare.com, in addition to developing such product lines as Blackfire, Eimann Fabrik, and other product lines which have helped set the standard. CMA has also been an industry leader in car detailing, being the first to use microfiber clothes (now industry standard), and the first to develop a consumer brand of Menzerna products, which CMA holds rights to.

    Clay Bar- CB- Automotive detailing clay was first use in Japanese body shops in the early 1980s. Modern clay sold in the Untied States is under patent by Clay Magic. There is currently a wide variety in clay quality and aggressiveness. Clay is an slightly abrasive medium that sheers off bonded contamination which affixes itself to the paint systems on car.

    Cleaner Wax- see All-In-One Products. Note: Most consumer grade waxes feature some level of cleaners to ensure an adequate bond between the paint and often less then ideally prepared paint. We do not consider these products to be cleaner waxes, although they cannot be layered.

    Clear Coat- Modern paint systems feature a minimum of two separate coatings on top of the primered surface. The base coat is applied first to add pigment. Pearl or metal flakes may be added on top of the base coat. The clear coat is the gloss layer of the paint and is also responsible for the U.V. protection of the underlying coats. The average clear coat thickness on new vehicles ranges from 1.5 to 4.0 mils or about a half a sheet of paper to a full sheet of paper thick.

    Closed Cell Structure Technology- CCS- Small, closed pockets of foam impregnated on to the surface of a polishing pad, designed to improve polishing performance by reducing absorption of polish and improving airflow.

    Compound/Compounding- A compound is an aggressive abrasive polish design to remove serious paint defects that penetrate deep into the paint`s surface or restore shine after sanding. Compounding is the act of applying a compound, usually with a powerful machine such as a rotary polisher.

    Connolly Hide Food (aka Hide Feed)- CHF- Connolly is a name that has long set the standard in leather and leather care. In 2002 Connolly Brothers went out of business, selling the rights of this fabulous product to Bentley Motor Cars. The Connolly Hide Food `black label` carried by properautocare is the only true continuation of the original formula.

    Dressing- A dressing is a product applied to plastic, rubber, vinyl, leather, or any non-porous surface. Dressing`s can be water or petroleum based and can vary in the amounts of UV protection and sheen.

    Dual-Action Orbital Polisher- DA-Proper Auto Care defines a dual-action orbital polisher as a machine that both oscillates in addition to havning a forced rotation of that pad. These machines tend to split the difference between a random orbital polisher and a rotary in terms of efficiency and user-friendliness. Meguiar`s and some other companies refer to DA polishers as machines that oscillate and rotate, although the rotation is not forced.

    I think it stands for
    Poorboys Bold & Bright. I think it`s a tire dressing.

    Anyone know what CG CWG refers to? I found it in a shine and show post and it was referring to a wash.

    Update I found it. It is Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss :clap:
