Why are we here?

[Tuck91]

Hmmm. I dont get it.

I think 95% of cars or trucks on the road need some form of correction. Whether its a one step cleaner wax such as D151 PRC or a dedicated cleaner/polish such as M205.

I detail a lot of daily drivers so just washing and waxing them is out of the question. Claying and correcting is usually what gives me the best results in the end.

If you`ve found a sealant that protects from hard water spots and bird poo please let me know as I`d be very interested in such a product. I`ve spent thousands of dollars trying new products and have yet to see a product that will actually withstand elements such as these and keep them from etching into the clear....regardless of what is says on the bottle.

Billd55,
I don`t understand why you keep posting about how great your `mystery products` are and how you do such a great job with less time and materials, yet you don`t post what the products and process are?

Everyone here is willing to share their process, products, and pictures, except you. :toetap05: (I think that is the main reason these types of forums exist)

I`m sorry, but this is starting to smell like vaporwax, teflon, PTFE, xillion, PPS, snakeoil, etc.

:2 cents:

The newb,
Randy

Well Welcome billd55

It sure looks like your posting is to stir the pot here, which is a no no, I have seem this same type of posting going on some other forums. So why are you posting like this here? is it you have agenda here? Word of warning, if you can`t post without `using your so call mystery products`, which I have use so many in the past years then please keep it off TID. If it bothers you then have a great time where ever you go. So :chillpill: out and enjoy.

billd55,

I am almost exactly like you, only totally different. I have a secret handshake that I use (it is a cross between the Vulcan grip and the sign Mork would give) when I am detailing.

It is almost always effective, never.

It fixes all of my automotive maladies sometimes, but mostly it doesn`t.

If you would like to know MY secret and you know the secret pass phrase, and if you are 33 years old or older and you have red hair, and if your middle name is Artemis, and if you have a polydactyl cat named "Fred" and if the force is with you, then you can send me a PM for the secret. :StarWars:

My bottle of NuFinsh , the once a year wax, has actually lasted over five years.

Ok it wasn`t on my car but it lasted five years in the bottle. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::bigg rin::biggrin:

I feel that we are here to find products, and methods to keep our
babies looking new. I do not want to spend hours and money to
do it if there is a better way. Spending a thousand for wax is not in
my budget, and spending time taking wax off to reapply it is not
for me.Detailing is work, and to my knowledge there is no product
that sticks to a clearcoat that will protect it for any period of time.
If a bird craps on your car, or you get tree sap on it then expect it
to etch or leave a dark spot if you do not remove it quickly. I am
assuming that is why many of you are using a sealant as a basecoat.

If I told you that I could paint your house with mold and dirt on it,
and I had a special paint that did not require cleaning first, would you
believe me.I do not think so.Well, is your car any different? I could have
the best paint, but it will not bond to the surface.My point is,
maintaining and protecting the clearcoat finish is the key to keeping a flaw
less shine.If you apply 1oz or 4ozs, 3 coats or 4 coats, if it does not
stop the bad things from attacking it then what is the point. I choose
to use a product that requires one application every year. It may take
3 hours to wash it, clay it, and apply it, but a quik wash every couple
of weeks is all I need.

I do not have to go and buy a polisher, and several expensive products
to maintain the shine. A couple of terry towels, and couple ozs of sealant
is all I need. It works for me.

One product no-nonsense type of guy... there`s another cat on this forum like that.. name escapes me!

Oh how I love starting the morning off with a laugh and a smile. I almost fell outta my chair. May the force be with you, User. :StarWars:

HEY! That`s me...
Except the force isn`t with me...And I don`t have a cat...and my middle name isn`t Artemis...and I don`t have red hair...and I am under 33...and I don`t know the pass phrase.

Otherwise though - I have it nailed! PM me the secret!

Thanks for the laugh UN! Good start to the morning.

billd55 - if you have no interest in the product and aren`t trying to sell it, it is not against the forum rules to publicly state what it is...

This product has been around for a long time, and only a few people such
as myself, and a few others have really seen the potential. They are a
small company that sells a line of detailing products to private detailers. This
is their product, but they sell waxes to. I have no interest in this company,
but I love this product and want to tell other people about what it can do.
I have been working with them for many years, and they are great honest people.

When I read the posts on this forum, I know what all you are looking for.
Awesome shine, and protection. Well, this product is all that. Although,
they do not market this product,why, I really do not know. I tell the owner
all the time, but it his product, not mine. It does not cost alot for what it does.

I do not mean to come off this way, but it is hard to tell you about this product without breaking the rules. If fact, they would have potential
customers call me to ask about this product. So, this is the way it has to be.
I will post some before and after pics shortly.
