I'm stuck, I've used them both but really can't decide... Vote please!

P40 = carnauba based detailer
V7 = synthetic based detailer
 
So my only thing is this at least with P40, it seems to leave a bluish hue in the coat. V7 adds straight pop but p40 it's almost like a tint. Some cars it looks good others it looks awful. Anyone else have experience with p40, I never hear anything about.
 
I was never too impressed with P40. I never noticed much added protection or gloss using as a waterless wash or QD and had some streaking if I didn't wipe it really well with some pressure. However I just noticed it says in the product description on this site that it works best if diluted with distilled water. I guess I either never saw that on the bottle or maybe it isn't on the label? I'll have to check when I get home. I think I have enough to dilute and give it one more try

I just noticed that! My old 16oz mentions nothing about that. Good spot.
 
P40 can be streaky. I have a 16 oz. bottle that does not mention diluting it. But I swear a previous bottle I had said to dilute it 1:1 for waterless washing.

Just checked the website and it stated diluting 1:2 (1 part water to 2 parts product) will eliminate streaking. Not sure about that, I still get a little at 1:1.

The easiest to use QD w/ carnauba that I have tried is Blackfire Midnight Sun Instant Detailer. Just wave a towel at it and it buffs itself off.

Never had any problems with V7. It's not a bead demon if that is important to you. Easy as pie to use though.
 
I have never used P40 but I can't say enough about V7. Super easy to use and looks fantastic. I will always have some in my cabinet.
 
Never used P40, but V7 is very impressive. Great pop as a detailer, great slickness that seems to hang on for a while and works fantastic as a dying aid (really allows the towel to slide over the paint and never any streaking even in 42 degree temp)
 
I use and Sell the V07 and love it. P40 doesn't interest me so much.

Have you ever tried the Instawax? I use it and find it works very well - even in the sun. Customer feedback is extremely positive.
 
I have never tried the P40 but love the V7. I bounce back and forth between the V7 and Duragloss AW These two work so great I don't even look for anything else.
 
I have a gallon of V7 and P40.
Love them!
I cut the P40 1:1 rather than 2 parts P40 to 1 part water as mentioned on instructions.
 
I have never used P40 but I was impressed with CG V7. It was everything that they said it would be (I don't know about durability because I applied it on my coated car), which is something considering Chemical Guys' marketing. :rockon

Which would you choose if you had to choose one, for say a silver blue metallic car?

Although I have not used P40. I would say V7 just based on my experience with it. Easy to use and brings out a nice "pop". I used it like a post wash QD wipe down to minimize any minor water spots.

 
Forgot to follow up on the diluting. I didn't have a lot left so I diluted 2 parts water to 1 part P40 and used it while drying the car. Worked out much better this time with no streaking and did add a little shine and protection. Paint was dead before washing with no beading and needing to be coated so I was able to really tell it worked as advertised.
