Most regreted detailing product purchase?

Reviving an old thread: :wacko:

Opt. Polish ll, & finish polish. Just too sticky, my towel stuck to the hood with both,
had to peel it off..
 
Most regretful purchase..

CG Diablo Gel Wheel and Rim Cleaner
CG Wheel Guard
CG Durafoam Contoured Large Tire Dressing Applicator
Sheepskin Mitt (forgot the brand name but disintegrated after 4 washes)
Sonax Profiline Nano Polish
Meguiar`s Detailer Painting Reconditioning Cream
Mother`s Back to Black Heavy Duty Trim Cleaner
Laitner Grip It Two Loop Wheel Brush
 
PBL paint sealant - sorry, but its crap - looks great but protects like crap- got water spot marks on day 2 that wouldn`t come off without polishing
luckily I got in on sale below the $50 price tag

2nd would be the additional bottle of reload I purchased that I am now afraid to use since I had a bad experience with it on top of my PBLv1 on my Challenger
 
At my current level:

Purple Power Degreaser (Zep products are much better)
TheRagCompnay Chinese Tundra MF`s
FK425 - AS A QD, Watered down for a waterless primer or drying aid, it`s perfect.
 
Blackfire Crystal Coat (3 bottles! :( )
Black Wow
CG MF Detergent (long time ago)
Opti MF Pads
B&S MF Pads
Flex 3401

I`m sure there are others.

I would have put that as well... but they were free gifts, I received three of them as well... I still find high spots on my truck almost a year later after the failed attempt to apply it

IME this makes reload issues seem like nothing at all
 
BF crystal coat for sure, got it as a freebie but man that stuff was a pita.

I`d say reload but it`s just bullet proof so I soak all the daily drivers with it who have no chance of ever being corrected.
 
Gave my BFCC kit away in fear of failure.
GG polishes (1-4) and let`s not forget their BEST if SHOW wax
That`s like removing dried concrete.
GG 3" DA
Flex 3401
 
Only thing I can say I regret/never use are the 10 6" CCS pads I bought at the very beginning with my GG6. Used once then went to 5" thin pads, so much better on GG6. I have had other disappointing purchases but nothing that I regret trying or did not use till it was gone.
 
22PLE V2Pro coating. I applied two coats to my 911 and it spotted the $h!t out of it the first time it rained. Took hours to polish it all off and apply CQUK which hazed and started coming off within days. I had to polish THAT off too and ended up using FK1000P from then on. Currently using BF Black Hybrid Montan wax and BFWD spray detailer. I`ll never buy coatings again.

Yes, I did a decon wash and multiple IPA wipedowns before the coatings. Yes I let them flash correctly. Yes I used a fresh applicator every panel. I did everything right and coatings just haven`t worked out for me. I have 10Ml of Gloss Coat that is unopened if anyone wants to make me an offer!

How does that BF Black Hybrid Montan Wax compare to FK1000p?
 
Why are there so much hate on BF Crystal Coat? I read stuffs about it and thought that it`s just a bad batch. Is it mostly the chemical composition issue or just it being so hard to be used?

Thanks!
