What makes you purchase a new product ?

Years ago I was always buying new products, at times I felt like a drug addict looking for that next best high! That said I came to realize that most new products are not that much better than what's on the market or what you might be using today. If I'm looking for something new today its usually a product that I have not replacing but adding for some process that makes it better or quicker.
 
I still feel like I'm looking for some of my "go to" products. Since I don't do this for a living I like trying different products to see how I like it compared to other products I've used. I do use the reviews as a basis if I would like to try a product or not. I know what I like as far as results so of I think something might meet that I'm willing to try it.

I do have some go to products like UWW. Before I tried it I used only ONR and it worked fine but I feel UWW is superior. With that said if I did detailing for a living I would use ONR for the price.
I'm willing to try any car wash soap since I know I will use it all up. Polishes and compounds are a different story. If I can't get it in a something other than a gallon I won't try it. It just lasts too long for me to use it up so for that reason I stick to Menzerna polishes and haven't tried M105/M205.

This is the reason I haven't tried PO85rd as yet. Only size available was 32 oz and that is way too much for my personal vehicles that I would use it for...
 
In order:

- Innovation (Iron X, Meg's DA MF sytem, ONR)
- Well documented performance/results
- Reviews; multiple
- Available information
- Necessity
- Mood
- Value

Some stuff like spray waxes, car soap, wheel cleaners, etc., that can be used fast I don't mind experimenting with because if I don't like it I won't be stuck with it.
 
Not having the right product is 1. Constantly trying to save $$$ is 2. and better performance is 3.

Thanks to this board I've learned so much about the products I have and better products out there
