This is the wife's car after a wash down this weekend. It's a 2016 with about 50k on it. I polished it and got about 90% of the scratches out of it, but was scared to cut factory paint enough to get the others out.

No reason to chase some of the deeper RIDS on a daily driver. You still going to coat it?

I plan to. I took a bike trip/vacation right after coating the bike and I'm buying headers from a forum member here for the Street Glide. Going to take a couple weeks to get my money right again, but it will happen in the next month, or so. Got to love the clean car sitting on the driveway that's dirty as f. I couldn't bring myself to hit it with the blower, lol.

I hear you. The dam pollen now is insane, again. Got a email from detailed image, CarPro is 20% off. Be ready for the fathers day sales, they are usually good along with memorial day.

Seems only people that hasn't used his product say negative things, anybody and everybody that I know "use" it, loves it!

The only negative I was picking up on in that thread was the price. Seems they were just advising people there were products that are just as good, or better and cheaper. I didn't see anything bagging on the product itself.

Post 12 kind of puts the whole deal in perspective. Selling someone else clay block. Cheap lightweight towels for that price? NO!
Your money buy what you want. Just trying to show that there are products out there that come from manufactures with a great reputation. They are cheaper than this stuff. Try out Wolfgang uber. If you don't like it Ill buy it from you. I can always use more of it

I wasn't speaking of negatives here on this thread, I was speaking of the ones on the review from Autopia.
Just to mention a few comments from the article.
hyped up waterless wash that makes some ridiculous claims”
There is no way this product cannot replace claying and polishing”
“There`s no way I`d use something like this on my Lamborghini for fear of scratching the paint.”
“At least YOU know better, and practice better techniques.”
“Agreed, there are very few revolutionary products out. That is definitely not one of them.”
“I don`t think I would risk an unknown.”


Sorry guys if any of you thought I was directing my comment towards you.

No offense taken.
Back to the point, The only things Im not sure about is the using it on a lamb, the guys techniques.
There are no "Secret" products out there. If this stuff was better than what is out there detailers would use it, plain and simple. The people these types of companies try to get to is the DIY guy. The guy that thinks he is saving money by buying this and it will be just like getting his vehicle detailed.
If this product was all its claimed to be a lot of detailers would be using it to save time and money. But obviously their claims are far fetched.
