It is the same as the clay magic lube...Body Shine #49.

Swirls?!?! NNOOOOOOO!!!!!
Yep. Clay Lube=Body Shine.
Works well for cleaning up water marks as well as removing dried-too-long polishes.

Of the ones listed, I've used only the paint sealant (10QT). Very fast drying. As long as you apply it thin and in the shade, no problems removing. If you have "ridges" as you apply, you're going to be in for a hard time removing them. Looks nice and reflective. Pretty good depth, I think. I can't comment on durability, other than it lasts over a month. Also seems to be able to remove light oxidation.
I like the XP Polish. Works pretty quickly on cob webbing. Doesn't haze the paint. I don't recommend letting it dry before removal (directions suggest it). I find it comes off easier if you remove it right after you are done working it.
White Magic is a pretty good 1 step wax. Blends in light cob webbing. Nice shine. Pretty good durability for a wax. Dries fast, so you can do section by section or whole car at a time.
Their blue glass cleaner concentrate is a pretty good value. 3 oz. per gallon of water. Smells of alcohol. I'm not sure if this is VOC compliant or not. Works well, though. Cuts through films pretty easily. Can streak, though. The streaking seems to be dependent upon my towel. No streaks with the PB velvet MF.
Seal It (not the XP) is very liquid. I found out after my first use of it that it can/should be sprayed on. Nice reflective look without looking too bright. Again, can't say if it lasts longer than a month.
GS-1 is a nice "final polish" when working on dark colors. Adds a little something extra.
EZ Clean (Upholstery/carpet cleaner) didn't impress me. But I have heard others say they like it. Maybe my technique was "wrong."
These are just my "initial" thoughts. I don't use these products too much, as I have lots of others to keep trying out, but I would imagine that a competent detailer should be able to turn out good work using these products.

I haven't tried their sealants, but Banana Magic wax has decent durability and shine. Goes on and off easy as long you don't let it sit too long. Went 6 weeks on my brothers car and still beaded, and it sits outside 24/7. It's alot like Megs #26, but the shine noticably fades after a few washes. Their XP Swirl Remover was a big disappointment... really did not take out anything but the lightests of swirls.
As stated above, their #96 Magic Mist is a good QD. It doesn't have alot of slickness, but a good shine for the money. I would definately NOT buy the Hydroshine again, simply because it gives a so-so shine. Clearkote or Poorboy's QDs are far better IMO. Super-Dress-It is a great product if you like a water-based dressing with alot of shine. If not, it can be diluted down. As well their #61 Dress-It-Right.
Their #777 APC is my main exterior cleaner and been very pleased with it. Body Shine QD and ClayMagic is pretty much all I've used as far as clay/lubes go so I really don't have any comparison to others.
