Right. IMO this Detailing stuff is a perfect example of Discretionary Expenditures/Luxury Goods; stuff that ya only spend $ (and time
) on after all life`s genuinely important stuff is all squared away.

Would love to see a deep dive to find one of the first ever threads on here and what they were posting about

Predictably, *my* first post (pre-2000 as we hadn`t moved here yet) was about using BHBs to wash
NOT off-topic as those particular BHBs are no longer available; finding decent ones is very challenging these days 
Unless you simply *can`t stand* the look of the KSG (which I can understand), I`d avoid topping it since, untopped, you can just keep refreshing the KSG indefinitely unless something cuts through it and actually mars the paint. Just thinking out loud and remembering what I went through doing all that layering when KSG was my go-to for some vehicles...
Well, since Sect Astronomy started this thread in July,2020 from my references to products you don`t here much about anymore, I have to add another product line to this list (again): WeatherTech`s Care Car Products.
It started with their vinyl mat cleaner, which is (was?) a natural fit for a company that manufactures and heavily advertises its aftermarket vinyl mats. Reference thread:
https://www.autopia.org/forums/car-...83-weathertech-kit.html?highlight=WeatherTech
Then WeatherTech branched out into washes and cleaners, but I never heard anyone in this forum "admit" that they bought and used these other products. Did see some tell that they bought and used the mat cleaner because cleaned and protected the vinyl mat without being slippery like many vinyl protectants are, but they are designed for interior dashboards and doors, not mats. Most vinyl protectants even warn against using them on floor mats because of the liability of accidental falls getting into vehicles due to their poor footage caused by their slipperiness. Just curious ...
Any, yes, other car-care product manufacturers have since come out with their own special mat cleaner and protectant that is not slippery.

The Weathertech floor mat cleaner/protectant both work great. I’ve been using them for a few years now. A bit spendy, but work as advertised. And a little goes a long way. I would buy them again.
