Their waxes overall is top notch and have my eyes on the Angelwax AG which is for silver colored paints. They have different color coded waxes and one they claims to bond and work in synergy on ceramic coatings named Fifth Element.
Their cleaning products is really great products. That is worth to look into.
Will be intresting to hear what you think about their polishes :)
For my personal vehicles that are all done in Kamikaze, I pretty much stick within that product family, hence the Infinity Wax:
Quote:
INFINITY WAX
53.7% Caunauba Wax & 43.7% Japanese Glass coating
Utilizing 53.7% high grade Carnauba Wax, and 39.2% Japanese glass coating, INFINITY WAX combines the best of both worlds ... the amazing gloss of wax, with the durability of glass coating with 18-36 month protection.
I ventured outside of that place once with TAC Moonlight and it was *not* a pleasant experience. Have kinda settled on Kamikaze for protection, Gyeon (Bathe and Foam) to maintain. Mostly I use the Infinity Wax just for something to do once or twice a summer. I does add a nice dimension, kinda a `relaxed high gloss` but it`s probably not noticeable by anyone but me (likely cuz it`s all in my head as opposed to reality). I take a somewhat minimalist approach to our personal cars with regards to SiO2 stuff outside of the base protection package of Miyabi, ISM, Infinity Wax and Overcoat...it`s just a method that works extremely well for me...there might actually be something to product/mfg `synergy`.
I seem to lately be into trying different polishes/compounds (much cheaper than trying different coatings all the time), hence the AngelWax stuff. Kinda dig `niche` products that are currently outta the mainstream (Menzerna, Meguiars, 3D/HD, etc) although I do still have Megs 101, 205 and D300 for when all else fails or I`m not into experimentation at that moment.
There was quite a delay with the AngelWax order, took about a month to receive from Raindrops which unfortunately means it arrived at the start of my current `hiatus` from car care stuff; at the time I placed the order I had the intention to use it if arrived quickly enough...but it didn`t.
I did order some Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz to try on the Kamikaze-clad fleet van I did a bit ago, just to see how it plays with Kamikaze. Might need a backup as the Kamikaze is occasionally unavailable.
Have a few `fun` vehicles lined up for when motivation returns, so I`ll give AngelWax compound/polish a try with them but I`ll be sticking with Kami and 22ple for LSP`s cuz the stuff just plain works for me.
There will be always something to try, be it practical or not so it`s not totally out of the realm of possibility that I`ll find some hits and misses going forward.
I really should try a wax or sealant as an LSP sometime just for giggles...

More 500s and 600s from TRC .
Trying to find a finish polish that will give similar results as S40, that would be more mainstream.
Curious about JLGs Gold finishing, and have high hopes for Jescar Micro fin.
The freebie is the red wash pad ! Love these pads for rinseless, have maybe 10?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e532202055.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a5db2e749e.jpg

2 rupes yellow mille foam pads to my 21mm longthrow polisher and see how they work on it.
Some Tac System products to test out also.
Tac System Oil zero which is their panel wipe product.
Tac System Water Spot Zero.
Tac System Mystic Bubble is a car soap like reset or bathe that leaves nothing behind.
Tac System Tire Coat would be the tire dressing that I will be switching between carpro Perl.

I have used the Herrenfarth Sprühglanz Scandinavia Limited Edition on my car a couple of times. And like the gloss I get from it. So why not get a really amped up version that is only made in 75 bottles. Herrenfarth Sprühglanz SPR Limited Edition has 25% of si+(monokisel) and the SLE has 15%. Will be fun to see if there is a difference between them.

Since the mf wash pads I got the last time works great. I would like to test out the Microfiber Madness Wash Pads.
Everything from Bilt Hamber is high quality and very effective products. Both from what I have used and heard about. The Korrosol which is an ironx product. That I cave in to get since the ironx product I got know was not so effective as I want it to be. It would need to be applyied a couple of times to desolve the oxidized iron particals. Then since summer is coming and the prewash foam I will use has not have to be that harsh that the winter prewash. So Auto-Foam I think will suits just fine and still be effective.
Tuf Shine tire brush I finally got my hands on. And seems to be manies favorite tire brush.
Wheel Woolies foam pad brush
Valet Pro detailing brush
Still are the roads full of road salt and other dirt that sits on the roads. And tomorrow I will get to my tire dealership and get 2 new or better used summer tires. Then he switch to the summer tires and put the winter tires in storage.
On friday it`s going to be a road trip over the weekend to a good friend.

Just a few things for spring. I`m still daily driving my 09 Jeep SRT8. I`ll post up some pictures (maybe a review) once I get her all polished and coated.
