Most regretted detailing product purchase

I hated the Lexol too, until I buffed it down again after it sat a while. Then all the greasiness went away and it actually was pretty good. I think it just requires a second buffing. I've moved on though to L1.

i had the pinnacle SSII and didn't care for it thus trading it away...

Agreed, didn't care for the twins either. Replaced with Ultima Interior Shampoo and Pinnacle Leather Conditioner.

LC CCS pads - really not a fan but I love the HT series & the flat white foam.

Hmm well I guess it all depends some leathers have slightly different finishings? I can say for sure on Toyota leather and Subaru leather, even trying to buff it 5 minutes after and then again 1-2 hours after didn't leave the type of smoothness that comes from nicer conditioners like pinnacle or sealants like CTS.

While i'm definitely not saying it's a horrible product, (it certainly does what it's supposed to and what I expected it to), I feel that the hype surrounding this product is significantly more than what the results truly show. After seeing so many thoughts about it everywhere on many forums, I just felt that the product was a bit of a let down after using it first hand.

The Uber Original MF and the Uber Quick Detailer MF towels - wash them a few times and they're toast. Also, they tend to bleed color even after multiple washings. At the risk of sounding like an AG fanboy, the cobra jr gold towels have it all over these - and the uber towels are more expensive.

LOL your "trippin". Its used as a show car wax. You don't buy souveran for durability...i have a black Altima and it looks stupid wet after prepping my paint and comparing it side by side with other waxes. Souveran is too nice, you were probably just expecting too much out of a product

Maybe you should contact the seller. I bought some towels from Detailers Domain and one is falling apart.

I shot them an email and they sent me a tracking number for a new one. Most of these places has good customer service and stand behind their stuff.
