Most Underrated Products

I thought it would be interesting to discuss what are the most underrated products you have used, and explain what is good about them and why you feel they are often overlooked. For myself personally, I have only been detailing for a year and haven't used many different products, but I have recently come across Lucas Oil slick mist, and I love this stuff. For those of you who don't know it is a spray wax. It is an easy on and easy off, and leaves your paint ridiculously slick!! It also has a great sprayer on the bottle. I feel it is overlooked because it is otc and not many people have tried it. Just watch where you buy it, I bought mine for $6 but have seen it as high as $9.50. Now its your turn, what have you used that is overrated?
P.S. sorry for the long post.

Re: Most Underrated Products

The first couple that come to mind are DG 501 and Optimum Car Wax

Re: Most Underrated Products

No Mess tire swipes. Found them for $1.99 at the local car parts store. Love that they have their own case to keep them clean and the foam is very durable, much more so than the Griot's foam applicators I had been using previously.

No Mess Tire Applicator, tire pad, tire swipe, applicator pad

Is the look , finish, and durability of SSII similar to that of Collinite 845, and if so, which one would you recommend over the other. I value your input on this question.
