detail doctor

In the grand scheme of things I think it would be worthwhile to get an first hand account of a product that piques your interests. You would be doing the forum a good service by your honest review.
I look forward to your post and threads brother detailer, regardless of the subject. I also value your opinion. However, from my point of view, I see no disrespect or rudeness from the other posters on this thread. Everybody has their own style of communicating.
As a matter of fact, and not of opinion, what inyadreems posted below is a fact and a matter of record for some marketers. I personally feel that he posted the info out of concern for a fellow AGO member.

It's raining here now, so my day is burnt...guess I'll head out to the shed and put up the Christmas tree today. Maybe she'll get off of my back now

Those are just but two of the claims.

Common sense would say that this is just another piece of bullsh*t...

Whoa, calm down fellers! There's crappy expensive products, and good cheap products, but I think Flash nailed it...the likelihood of a good product being sold on an infomercial is pretty slim.

and by the way......that "put it on once a year" part is the biggest scam ever. kind of like those orange bottles of "once a year wax".........yeah........not happening.

I buy plenty of brands that are not sold at autogeek that are high quality and I don't think that belong at Walmart. Just because people have tried products you like and think they are crap doesn't mean that they are house brand wh*res.

EVERYTHING gets reviewed here to make people more knowledgeable, it doesnt make them any less of a detailer just so long as a person uses whatever needed to get the job done. it doesn't mean its the best product but it still gets stuff done.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I was only trying to save you some money and have some fun!

i am perfectly fine with everybodys negative feedback and opinions on cheap products that save a buck and claim to do stuff. my outlook is to find products that are good and bad by doing trial and error and to pass my research on. i haven't been doing it lately cause i been out of work for 15mo so i have no money at the moment. its the same with dieting some supplements work, some do not and not all people are going to agree with what one uses to get the job done. it was the comment of "goodasnew" with the jeep avatar on pg2 of this thread. i dont need to be putting up with comments like that. as i said before, this is a detail forum where ALL products are reviewed whether they're sold here or not. nobody puts each other down here, not for the few years i been here vs the less than 1 month that he's been here.

Don't feel bad.... I bought the Sham Wow.

How about a Wipe New vs Detail Doctor well documented comparison? A sort of myth busters for exterior trim products lol.

**vet** · 12-09-2012, 10:06 AM

I think I'm going to stay out of this.

BUT, for 14.95, the microfibers, detail brush, and applicator might be worth it.

**guess23959** · 12-09-2012, 11:03 AM

it would be a good comparison just for the hell of it, but for $20+ dollars for a couple oz vs $15 for 8 plus tools, that would be more worth it when i do get back to work. i did the same thing with armorall and forumla 2001, mothers and meguires, black magic and nano, and you get the picture. i am a very blunt and truthful person so whatever i put out there as a review/testimonial, i would say with all honesty and say go try it. i've had 2 antique triple black show winners so i know what its like to detail something special as well as my 12y/o daily driver that looks only 3y/o.
