I had a question on Marine 31. Can you use Marine 31 for protection on a convertible top? I have been using 303 convertible top protection. I just want to have a good alternative.

Great list nick, I will have to pick up some of those 4in pads they seem perfect. I think you should mention that Duragloss 931 makes a great QD.

I've used it as a QD before but wasn't too impressed with its "cleaning" power. I'll stick to using it as a rinseless wash.

How long on average does DP tire coating last and whats the best way to maintain it.

I recently purchased Syngergy and I have to say I was surprised by the appearance of the wax. The color is nothing like whats in the picture, its almost a dark rootbeer color and the wax is just full of tiny little air bubbles. I was hoping if you could let me if the color is typical of what you have been seeing.

That's how it's supposed to look.

Great list. I love the wheel woolies! I have a few of those other products on standby that I have not yet gotten a chance to use!

Nicely done, Nick.

Your socks are easily "Knocked Off"

I agree, 9 out of the 15 were house brands.

I can only vouch for one product, the DP Power Wash.

I love using it. When using it on a vehicle, there is no need to boost the shine with a spray wax product. The little bit of wax in the soap does the job for you with no streaking or other nastiness usually associated with wash-and-waxes. I still use spray wax as a protection booster, but far less frequently.

Absolutely, and for good reason: they're among the best of the best in each respective category. I'm guilty of being a (little) biased because I was actively involved with the research and development of the featured DP, BLACKFIRE, Marine 31 and Pinnacle products. I guess you could say I'm kind of like a proud papa.
