Default Best detailing products you stand by

Hey everyone

I was wondering which brand of products impressed you the most with detailing.

I know most use different brands for different things, but if you had to choose 1 to stand by, which would it be?

Hard to choose one really. They all work great, except for Zaino, Menzerna, Lexol (haven't used them so couldn't tell you). if I haddddddddd to pick one, I'd say Mother's. I've used their stuff the longest.

Meguiars and 3m ( not on the list ) I have not used much of the others due to being stuck with what I know works great for me..... Stubborn I guess/comfort zone

I've been using Adams products for some time now, and have always been very pleased with the results.

Good recommendations guys.

I have noticed that Chemical Guys has a ton of products for everything.

The details on each product is nice as well.

Really spent time and looks as though they spent a decent amount of money for R&D for their products.

Any other thoughts on this?

Stick with another brand. There are quite a few complaints about their customer service on the various detailing forums.

Thanks guys.

I seen that other thread, which was great, but was wondering the outcome if I put of a poll
up and asked best experience from just 1 brand.

Well the Chemical Guys Customer Service is sub-par I'm getting. Are their products also sub-par? They look like they do a great job. Reviews on their products are great also.

Here is a paint correction I did using all Adams products that turned out perfect.

I love their products and will continue to use them. However, I don't buy from them directly as I know people have issues. Their marketing sucks, but I've found some products that I like from them and will keep using.

Tipnitty, how does their marketing suck, exactly?


I actually have a good friend that swears by Adam's products.

Based on the poll though, Meguiar's is leading the pack.

They are really just kind of annoying to me. If you watch their demonstration of their products, you'll see what I'm talking about. They have too many products that really do the same thing. I have the products that I like and will continue to use.

This is kind of subjective. Looks like they're just having a good time to me (I've watched their videos before).


I do agree that there is too many products they sell that do the same thing.

There's a local company to me called Clarity 1 and they make amazing products for very reasonable prices. You can get them online I believe. Other than that, I use a lot of 3M, menzerna, and dodo juice

I use meguiars for paint correction, Adams has a good wheel polish, zaino has a good leather cleaner and conditioner. I'm kind of all over the place...

I'm a big fan of HD products as well. HD cut and Adapt are awesome and adapt leaves some awesome gloss as far as correction goes.

I'll chime in more later.
