I actually have a couple customers who specifically request I use Pinnacle Souveran on their cars. They both claim they can tell when I have used it.
In my arsenal is FK1, CLearKote, Meguiars, Menzerna, Werkstatt, Optimum, Eimann Fabrik, 3M. I`m very satisfied with each one of my products

BTW, Joe uses Meguiar`s almost exclusively...
I tend to agree with Joe, but I still have LOTS of stuff left over from my days of experimenting.

Thanks Scottwax!!!
We only use one brand also. Over the last several months I’ve leaned a lot about product but IMO the top brand’s are all about equal. A few have some negligible benefits in a professional application. We have territory reps with trailers that come by and try to sell us product all the time. The online stores kind of screwed up the business for them. It’s great to see the “Young enthusiasts†buying so many different products. Without them stimulating the car care economy their would be less money for new product development.
I had a few car club guy’s want to talk “techno product†but that was easily handled? It might “pay†for you guy’s to consider product exclusiveness. When I say “pay†I mean buying power and loyalty !!! Do you notice I don’t advertise my product supplier?

The microfiber cloths i use arnt the best, they are from some microfiber company and you can buy them at walmart i can going to be switching these to cobra i think.
As you can prolly tell most of my things can be bought at your local walmart because i always detailed cars for family and frriends as a hobby. Now im going to start to charge and get some extra money. I need some reccomendations for pretty much anything cause im starting this buisness off very well i have a long list of customers and i got a bay at a local body shop to do all of them.
Ranges from a Black STI, Black Caddy STS, to a Black Avalanche, and an Older Black Durango
