    Best 'detailing content' vid of the year (Feb 23) ...your honest opinions. I really do think that too many brands are having their products 'reviewed' knowing that there won't be a bad word said...which in itself encourages the 'brand' not to improve, develop...and certainly rest on their laurels. Let's have a bit more honesty...indeed in these modern new age times some REAL reality! ...love your vids, Mart

    what I love is people say I'm grumpy , but like you I'd rather say how I see it and if that offends others s*d em ! Think we all could do a clean out once a year maybe and shift what we don't use. It's one reason why I tried and got plenty of the part bottles off testers they sell at Waxstock. Some worked some were worse than bullsh*t but far far cheaper . Also , as you would hopefully agree , what you don't like others may love so the logic of let someone else try them should be applauded rather than go s*d it and bin the lot. Good job I'm not local or I'd be driving past often to see what my fellow grumpy ol s*d has left by his gate for others

    It is a pain to work with but with a bit of time & patience it’s very good , totally agree on the IW stuff but better watch out , last time I commented on something of theirs I didn’t get along with I got a phone call threatening me 😐

    Brilliant Martin - a few surprises in there but every one of them honest!
    I must say, I personally get on very well with double speed wax and found it could last 5/6 months but thats not to say everyone will get the same results... The beauty of this hobby of ours is that we all have different experiences!!
    GT Alpha - well I've only used it once and it was just before Xmas so it's far too early to make any longevity comparisons but I wasn't a massive fan of the application... Some people say that slickness isn't important but to me there's nothing more important than user experience!... And £40 is definitely edging towards the high-end of the market. I'm a huge fan of GT products but I'm yet to be convinced by this wax

    Really interesting video. The Double Speed Wax thing is interesting. I gave a pot away a couple of years ago. Found it quite hard to use but it does seem to have a big fan base!
    Our shed is getting a bit full, not necessarily of detailing products but we don't have a garage. I've often mulled over a "minimalist" car care set up. Bloke who lives over the fence from me keeps his Audi Q7 in great shape. He uses AG Shampoo conditioner and a detail spray every second wash. He does wash it carefully though, pressure washer, mitt and two buckets. I think it's got some sort of dealer protection product on as well although if that is still a factor I don't know. He's had the car at least 3 years.

    Loads of hype products in the market, they come with much fanfare, reviewers use them give them glowing reviews without real world durability testing.
    Products are an instant success as first time users get instant gratification (glossy detailing sprays, super hydrophobic waxes/sealants for example) further hyping up said product making it a success. Eventually people realise that it's no better (and often worse) than some less sexy product that's been around forever and silently go back to it!
    I've been guilty many many times of this, buying the sexy new product and now have enough stuff in my garage to last me 3 lifetimes! I need to have a good clear-out as you have Martin and stick to the good old plain jane products that I know work.

Personally I would use a Soft99 wax like King of Gloss instead of Autoglym HD but as you have it and its not cheap then the car will look stunning. Would then use GT 2QD after every wash and Sigma after every 3rd. Message me some pictures on instagram when its done😎

I have however frequently chemically decon the car although if it’s always well protected then I don’t think that’s essential. The big issue with UA-cam for me is you get so called experts telling us what should be done in the perfect world and they lead you to believe it’s the only way to look after your car. I don’t believe there is such a thing as detailing experts just some with more experience. I’m a very firm believer that we should listen to these “experts” and then take what we want from it to suit ourselves. Any help???

    Some interesting comments and the big surprise at the end with a Garage Therapy product you don't like. I found their glass cleaner didn't live up to my standard but after watching David McBay who lives not far from me here near Glasgow having problems with the GT wax I gave it a body swerve also but that was around the time I came across Mitchell & King waxes which are now my go to products. The infinity wax products do not seem to be at the top of your list of likes you have maybe alienated your Scottish followers with that review. Graphene also seems to be low on your list of products. I wonder looking back if UA-camrs were as skeptical about Si02 when it first came out. I think there is some tweaking to be done with the formula for it to be accepted. My sources are telling me there are a couple of new trends in the not so distant future that sound interesting. I look forward to your reviews on the new products you will be ordering.

    The GT wax from the video's ive seen is a bit of a pain. Being a wax whore it perked my interest when i seen it and had a view to buy it but then the videos started coming out. Having used a hundred or 2 waxes i could probably get it to work for me but there's waxes on the market which are ridiculously easy to use with amazingly results such as Gyeon Q2 Wax which yes, it has a 30 mins cure time so potential to have surface contaminants leaving it that long but this can be managed. Whilst its curing you can get round the glass and tyres and pack away. Maybe if the GT wax is updated I may jump in, bit of a backtrack there though mate.
