    I haven’t personally tried any of those on the list. I will say that the first two, Torque and Hydrosilex, are heavily marketed with Facebook and YouTube ads. Companies that push their products in this way (not just detailing) tend to be overpriced garbage. (Topcoat F11 is the king of this.)

    I’m not saying they are junk, as I haven’t used them, but that’s always a red flag for me. Meguair’s and Car Guys stuff is consistently good though, and I’ve read good reviews of the Zaino line.

    I went to the Torque website, and just didn’t get a good feeling from it. Can’t really quantify it, but it didn’t give me a good vibe. Only one product available, doesn’t give much information about it, no independent reviews, etc. Too many pop ups also. Really getting a Topcoat F11 vibe from the site. I reviewed F11 here a while back, and found it very unimpressive.

    Considering the price is pretty much the same as Carpro Reload, I don’t think I’d buy it. Reload’s effectiveness has been independently verified on pretty much every detailing site, and a lot of us here really like it. I really can’t see how this product could be better than Reload.

    As far as it being a sealant, I’m not sure what you mean. What exactly is making you think it isn’t one?

    To me a sealant is a product designed to protect a car's surface. For example, the Grand Finale is not a sealant. It is for enhanced shine and the Zaino CS would be an example of a sealant.

    As far as your summation of the product, you put down in words what I was thinking. Thanks!
