What are your "go to" detailing products?

[Mike]

I have the mothers gold and Like it alot actually it gives a pretty nice shine, and the price is really fair. I'm going to have to order the wet paint. Everyone says great things about it.

[b_beau_09]

yea, i use mothers gold carnuba as well, i'm a fan of the gloss level it brings out, but it doesn't seem to last long.
i mainly use mothers products and some meguiars.  other stuff i get from my connection where i used to work (detailing department at a cadillac dealership)

What are you odds on you extending this hook up?

[b_beau_09]

i haven't been up there in awhile, but one of my closest friends works there.  and my old boss is way chill..  i know that the interior guy doesn't do any work there anymore though (he was contracted, the dealership couldn't afford him anymore).  but i'll see what i can get hooked up for you.. (they use carbrite products fyi)

Anyone else use a california water blade?

I have been using the waterblade for a while now. It really helps to get the bulk of the water off of your car. This makes a big difference if you live in a warm climate because you can towl off the remaining water before it can dry. Given the blade is medical grade silicone I don't see how it could harm your paint.

As long as the water blade is used on a car that has a lot of water on it it's fine.  I've seen people use it on cars that are barely wet and you hear this awful screaching noise because of the dry friction. It's leaves real bad surface scrapes when that happens.

^ if any contaminent gets on that blade (i.e. rocks, dirt), it will scratch the hell out of your paint, if you drop it, throw it away.

Hey, you guys were talking about Wet Paint.  I went to their site and read that it was a polish glaze.  So, I'm assuming it's a polish and a glaze, I may be wrong, but that's why I'm asking.  Is Wet Paint a polish, glaze, or a type of sealant?  I asked Tim and he said it was a sealant.  Some clarification would be nice Thanks.

[Mike]

Wouldn't the blade just wipe clean/rinse clean? Also I think most people use wet paint after wax so I'm going to assume most use it as a sealant.

[b_beau_09]

it would.. unless the contaminent made any kind of cut in the blade, which isn't hard to do on that type of material..

and yea, you'd use the wet paint after wax, as a sealant.  atleast thats what i remember reading on old g7a.

[Mike]

I've dropped mine about 600000000 times, and nothing ever got into the material...

[b_beau_09]

lucky man lol.  if it works for you more power to you, i'm just going by my personal experience.

[Mike]

I really only use it on glass lol

[b_beau_09]

lol well yea, it's safe on glass for sure.

Rick would probably provide the best answer since he's the one that brought it to light for the rest of us.
