There simply are not a massive amount of Chemical Labs in detailing grinding out unique products.

I'm partial to the Chemical Guys products. Good stuff and they stand behind it.

I use Zaino. I also bought a metro vac master blaster from autogeek due to all the detail on the front of the SS. The blaster is awesome. Gets all the water off the car and rims. No more dripping from cracks and crevices. I highly recommend.

Adams as well here

I don't have my Camaro yet either but I use the AMMO products. As some have said already though most of this stuff might just be recolored and scented between brands. For me the only real difference from how i washed my car before AMMO is the way I dry the car. That Hydrate product really makes the difference to me.

Adam's makes pretty awesome detail products. Looks like a nice foam bath

I spent part of today doing decon and paint correction on my buddies new overpriced nissan g35 he picked up. Tomorrow afternoon I'll add some LPS and do a quick application of G&G.

You can head over to the detailing section but Glen has most of the guys brainwashed into the way he does things.

50/50 Adam's and Meguiar's professional series. I like the price point of the Meguiars products and the availability of them on Amazon. I love getting 1 gallon products for less than $30 including 2 day free shipping.

Interesting...Guess sticking with Duragloss is a good call

I am a big user of Adams products as well. They make great stuff and their customer service is absolutely amazing. That said, I agree that most products will give you similar results and that it's more of technique and experience. However when it comes to compounds and polishes, my favorite is the Menzerna line of products.

Great information on this thread. Have some shopping to do. Thanks...

I've used Zaino on all my cars for the past 15 years but am open to change if there is something better. the Z8 show car gloss really tops it off.

It is a bit of a pain. even using the accelerator, it helps to have very low humidity and 70+ degrees. So I have to time the job with the weather and winter is a no go without a heated garage.

Wrapped my SS in clear 3M pro series film and use the Zaino on top of it. works great.
