Car care product thread: reviews and opinions

Clay bar is not that useful as it not agronomic to hold. If you hit a dry spot it would leave black marks. Lubricant does feel sufficient enough and leave some smoothness after. Overall, I would say 50-70% efficiency to lift sediment of the paint. Although i could have used more force then applying clay bar. Used on 1.5 year old white paint. The package lasted for 1 application. (large truck). Next time, i would use standard clay bar with this detailer.

I'm switching some of my products right now, and experimenting with wheel cleaners.
Right now I have a bottle of Auto Fanatic, and first sprays look promising.

I just used up my old Sonax and Griot's Garage, but I see they have newer formulas, so I'll see about the above first. A lot goes a little ways, so I'll be ready to try the Sonax, which was my previous fave.

The light leather in our GLC has proven to be a serious challenge, but regular cleaning helps control the dirt buildup and color transfer.

There seem to be more Detailing YouTube channels than cooking schools, and I'm getting suspicious of most of them. Most have product links, so they get paid by listing them. YouTube is very lucrative.
Whoops - I just visited Obsessed Garage, and a red flag: they sell their own products, and review them against others. Hmmm.
If this thread can rise above those product pushers with personal experiences, that'd be a good thing.
