Guess?

Just incase nobody want's to try and guess, I used Turtlewax Extreme cleaner-wax $4.00. I have other products (VM, S100, Zaino Etc.) but I'm always trying new stuff, So I thought I'd give it a try for some of the daily drivers I do. I was very happy with the results no prep just washed and applied the product.
 
AAAWWWWW! You beat me to it. I was going to do a "less than $15 worth of product" detail this weekend! Nice work, and to echo some on this forum, "It's not a product, it's a process."

Is that a client's car or yours?



If it is yours, it would be interesting to watch durability of TW's cleaner wax.



Back in the day when I thought a good smell and the "Winner" tag marked the best possible product, I used Xymol's cleaner wax. It actually left a pretty good shine but lasted a very short time.
 
It's my car and this TW is very durable, after severl weeks of snow, slush and salt I washed it and it still shines. It says that it contains trilicone for extreme shine & Protection & last through months of weather & washing and apparently really does what it says.
 
I also have the TW Extreme...The durability is about 3 weeks (ungaraged, in California summer sun and overnight condensation)...It cleans well, decent shine, and removal is moderately easy. The trilicone is basically silicone, carnauba, and some acrylics mixed together so I wouldn't say it will last months, but still it's a decent product.
 
Since you are always looking to try something new, I thought I'd give you a heads up on TW's new product, Platinum.

Extraordinary formula of pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax combined with Bavarian Montan wax to provide maximum shine, perfect clarify and deep gloss to a car's finish. Formulated with fluoropolymer resins to fill in minor scratches and swirl marks. Layering several coats of Platinum Series Wax will further enhance the shine and clarity of the car's finish.



Fluoropolymer seems to be closely related to PTFE which is teflon, so I'm not sure what that implies. It sounds like the fluoropolymer is what is filling scratches/swirls. PTFE is supposedly not able to be disolved by a solvent, so I don't know how they could get it in a form to fill swirls. I may be wrong about the fluoropolymer=PTFE, though.



Just thought I'd give you a heads up on a product. They say layering increases shine and clarity, but I suppose using a cleaner or polish multiple times would have the same effect.
