I do all of my work by hand (old school) so if I tryi another brand I will also do it by hand.

Any suggestions?

We have a wax called Velocity Glaze that will not stain plastics.

I use all P&S and Rupes stuff, well because that's what we sell and if you have to sell something you have to believe in it, and that I truly do.

We do make good stuff besides Bead Maker!! Lol

We just came out with Play Maker. Which is infused with Bead Maker. Amazing shine. Time will tell how durable it is.

Glad to hear you use Bead Maker

We have experienced Bead Maker lasting well over 6 months. Now that's on a car that was garage kept and only washed about ever 6-8 weeks for that time.

The car was clayed before application, which will only help any wax or polish or coating.

Silica is nice for mobile detailing and for people that dont care about the extra shine.

IMO ceramic coatings are dead. The manufacturers got a lot of money for them though by hyping them as the end all solution.

I would have to say the opposite on coatings. They are just starting IMO

Collinite 915 Marque d'Elegance wax after 3 months of hard winter. Still beading up great!

I'm hoping Adams comes out with a black paste or liquid wax (hint, hint)

I've bought a shelf full of their products, but I haven't switched waxes yet because the black wax is just such a nice thing to have to battle the light scratches from just daily use.

I used to use Meguiars stuff all the time because you could just go and buy it at walmart. I have found some stuff from Griots Garage at AutoZone and Amazon. I used the complete compound and then their poly wax on my Summit White 2SS. Seemed to come out really well so far.
