    Well, I'm trying to up my game in the detailing department. Been watching some of the video's of these products and trying to do some research. BUT, trying to get any real info off you-tube video's is a pain.Does anyone here have any real world reviews of these products.
    I am just a basic detail kind of guy trying to get a little better. Always have had good luck with mcquires products. Usual detail goes like this
    wash and rinse
    Clay bar if needed
    rinse again and dry
    Paste wax and hand buff X 2
    then Protect the plastic with a spay
    Windows
    then on to the inside

    Any help would be much appreciated, along with any recommendation's.

    Just haven't seen much in the way of any reviews of these three products

    I have been using it for over a year on 2 vehicles. F11 that is. It’s not your traditional detail but it actually works. I used to and still do traditional detailing but it just takes too much time. There is a good thread on f11 on here. Myself and a few friends use f11 with great results.

    Great thing about f11 is you can apply it on everything. Paint, plastics, glass, rubber, wheels, tires, exhaust tips! Really does work.

    Usually wait a hour or two between coats of wax. Always try to get at least two coats on the areas that the sun beat up if time is short.

    I haven’t tried any of those, so can’t provide any feedback. As for other products, there’s plenty of info on here. Unfortunately, it may be hard to follow, since we get derailed a lot. Info you’re looking for could be found in a completely unrelated thread sometimes.

    Here’s one thread where we attempted to consolidate recommendations:

    I just purchased The Last Coat and applied it a couple of days ago. I used to be a McGuire's fan for many years and had tried other products as well. My favorite McGuires was the synthetic spray wax. I wanted to try a silicon-based top coat after reading things about them and settled on TLC after many reviews (I hadn't seen the one above though). We've had scattered thunderstorms the last couple of days and I have to say I've never seen any product perform like this. I have to tell you, when the rain stopped, and I reached a speed of about 45 mph, the remaining rain just blew off like I was at the end dry cycle of an automatic car wash. It was dry in less than a minute. TLC is going to be my new go-to top coat.

    And what I did afterwards, since my microfiber applicator was damp with TLC, I used it to detail the inside of my car and it looks better than when I use the McGuire's interior cleaner. TLC is the bomb!
