We use ardex religiously - Heavy cut compound is awesome

Do ipa wipe down after your done using those products and see what your products actually corrected.. Not hidden under silicone

I used to use lots of Ardex and car brite stuff. Smart cut is ok. The rest is junk IMHO

Express wax is good too for quick cheap hand waxes. Easy wipe off

When I was fixing cars for a living, we used to use this stuff by the barrel:

We used to have these air wands and would spray it to clean everything. The air wand sort of looked like this:

The hose would go in your "Ardex" jug and we would use that stuff to clean everything from engines to interiors. If your trying to clean an oil soaked motor, tar, or grease nothing works like that stuff.

We even used to scrub our hands with it. This was a long time ago, before I knew any better. I'd hate to think of how much of that solvent was absorbed by me over the years.

Not all Ardex products have silicone in them. We mix 3M, Ardex, Mequires, and Collinite successfully to turnaround and protect gel-coat. The Ardex product we use is a key step and I wouldn't replace it with another brand (Ive tried lol). Like with any product line, there are goods and bads - can't dismiss this line because some of their products aren't body shop safe. IMO of course
