What products do you regret buying?

Really? I've used this for years and never had that problem. Do you do a second rinse? How much do you use per load?

I just ordered this detergent over the weekend. All of the other comments I have seen have been positive. I hope I do not have this problem.

I have gone through several gallons of the stuff over the years and have never exprienced any issues including the one described. I think you will be OK.
 
Megs body solvent is the only one I can really think of....well Back to Black and Armorall (from back in the day when I didn't know better)

Yeah - I did the second rinse and used the "power clean" cycle on the washer. I don't know what say, bad batch? I bought little "scoops" that measure my ounces for ONR and just use those to measure the microfiber wash.

I now just presoak everything and that works much better. I realize that lots of folks had great luck with it - so I guess it is great that there is something for everyone.
 
I didnt care for megs ultimate wash and wax car soap . The smell started to make me feel sick after a while ( although to most people it probably smells pleasant, like lemons )

I also found it to be a little too expensive for what it was . Not saying its a bad product though , just wont buy it again.

Is that the yellow liquid in the clear bottle? I got a sample but never have tried it.
 
1) Back to black...do I even need to describe why it's awful?

2) Turlte wax ice liquid clay bar. I got this when it first came out years ago. It worked so well that they eventually went back and decided to make it part of a two step kit...gues what, the other staep now includes an actual clay bar.
 
to be honest i really dont like those tire dresser that is thick liquid and u can only apply it via a sponge or some tire applicator..those things i think r good for showroom..they r soo greasy and hard to remove the next time u clean the tires
 
Turtle Wax "Dash & Glass"
Chemical Guys glass cleaner and coating
Blackfire branded foam gun
Wheel Wax
waffle weave drying towel
Amazing Roll Off
P21s
Cerakote tire dressing
Too many tire dressings to remember

Yeah, yeah, ghost thread.

Least effective drying towel I have and my last choice in use. Requires more wiping and more wringing. I suppose I'm somewhat prejudiced against waffle weaves, though. Only use waffle for scrubbing glass.
 
Wow!!! Talk about ancient detailing history.
For myself, it was Zymol's mass-market version of Liquid Wax. Worst wax when I tried to apply it with a PC-DA and black foam pad. All it did was ball up and smear.
Early version of Armour-All protectant "yellowed" some white vinyls, like headlining. Later versions were much better.
Early versions of Turtle Wax mass-market hand rubbing compounds & polishes that were like fine sand grit in a greasy emulient.
I also hold the same opinion/judgement about waffle-weave towels not being that good for drying. My large W-W towel from Detailed Image never "worked" as well as I expected. I went back to chamois for a while until I got (4) 16"x16" Griots Garage PFM looped microfiber drying towels. They work just like the monicker: Pure Frickin' Magic on absorbing up rinse water left behind after drying a vehicle with a leaf blower for my 2-bucket washes.

Ancient threads need ancient members, eh?

1Z Sprühwax, AutoGlym EGP, Scholl Concepts' early presoftened paste wax, Sonax BSD did nothing for me in their looks department.

Loved #26 paste, because it was among the wettest of all, but I can't imagine a bigger dust magnet.
 
I was very disappointed with Clean by Pan 1 Year Ceramic Spray Sealant. Total waste of money. I now see they have replaced it with a V2 but I refuse to try it.
