Meguiar`s Hyper Wash actual pH

I don`t think that`s always necessarily true. Cheap products can be just as good and some of the expensive items available might be a similar product with a fancy label. People like to buy boutique brands and expensive wines, but they`re not always getting their money`s worth. Read about Rudy Kurniawan and how he fooled wine connoisseurs by selling counterfeit bottles of wine.

And I`ve had "Expert Detailers" insist that a car I did with Collinite had Dodo Juice on it because "It`s obvious! Nothing else looks quite like that!".

And my beloved, and very cheap, FK1000P outperforms my pricey LSPs.

BUT...with shampoos there are ones that are *excellent* and there are others that aren`t; pretty binary IMO and most of the excellent ones cost a lot more than the also-rans. The difference between truly excellent shampoos and average ones is functionally significant IME and well worth paying for.

I had to look that one up and I`m confused how it relates.

Sorry, didn`t mean to be inscrutable

I meant that I could argue either side of the argument:
-Yeah, those "both sound special" names can cause confusion
vs.
-Nah, adequate research would avoid any confusion, this stuff isn`t that tricky

I just can`t quite decide whether people really oughta have a *thorough* understanding of this stuff or whether they oughta be able to get by with minimal study/research. *I* would spend hours and hours studying Detailing before I ever touched a car, thinking a *LOT* about what I was gonna do; that`s what worked/works for me.

By the time I believe I have an adequate understanding of something and am prepared to start, I really am prepared.

*IMO* 99% of all Detailing stuff can be figured out by just thinking/learning before you try doing it. And I have, uhm...concerns.. when I see some of the Qs people ask here because I`d never try doing anything like Detailing without already knowing all that stuff.

LOL, I spend more time researching things I`m going to buy than actually enjoying them! It`s impossible to search all forums using Google anymore, so it takes an extensive amount of time to find the information, then sort it by date to see if what you`re reading from a post 10 years ago is still relevant today. Then, you see another product name mentioned and the search starts all over again. It`s a curse!

Heh heh, understand completely Yeah, some stuff does take a *LOT* of time and we only have so much to spend on Detailing. And with the internet, well...hard to tell what`s reliable and accurate.

IMO it might be best to find what works for *you* and then just quit paying attention to the New Shiny Things. No reason to fix what isn`t broken, and sometimes there`s no reason to look for stuff you don`t *know* is broken either.

It is not that it has gloss enhancers but it has been mentioned that it has polymers like ONR.

That`s good to know, thank you!

I understand what you`re saying now.
