Advertising looks interesting but I can't find many user reviews...

Just walk to your toilet and flush a $20 bill. That will be just as effective.

There are very few absolutes in detailing, imo. The top one is that anything that says Armor All on it is not worth the money.

Come on Doug, we all know that Turtle Wax is on the top of that list!

Actually Turtle Wax Super Protectant is pretty good stuff. Blows away Meg's Hyperdressing for tire dressing!

I beg to differ, but to each his own.

If you really want a decent wax that you can buy virtually anywhere get Meg's NXT 2.0 in either liquid or paste.

Meg's Hyper-dressing mixed to give a nice deep black matte finish on the tires.

I don't think it would be possible for me to disagree with a statement more than I do with that one.

HD has it beat on every front:
Easier to apply
Much cheaper
More durable
More flexible, with finishes from dull to matte to glossy



why do you like it more than HD?

What he said ^^ I wouldn't waste my money on anything they make.

I personally use DP (can be a little spendy) but always keep some Meguiars around too. Oh and DP products are made in the good ol' USA (another selling point for me)
