3M product users step in...

Hey everyone, Let me start out by saying I can't find any info on this because "3M" is too short to search for.
How many of you use or have tried the 3M stuff that is available OTC? I ask because although I support AG, I like to try stuff available localy as well, its nice to have a product line to turn to available OTC in a pinch as well. I REALLY wish I could find duragloss localy, but after calling/visiting every napa, carquest, etc. in my area ive come up dry.

This 3M stuff, some of which is available here on AG, seems to be at every automotive place ive been to recently.
Here is the rest of the line...

Im not looking for polish or compound or anything, but how bout the car wash, cleaners, dressing, quick detailers, etc...

I realize this will not matter to me as much after I place my first HUGE ag order, but its good to know, again since it is so widely available.
If youve seen the stuff in stores, did you notice there is a "newer looking" bottles/packaging and then theres the older looking ones.

3M is usually a choice of professionals and body-shops, I dont think it gets as much limelight from novices and hobbist as there are more than several boutique products that are easier to use and provide similar results.

I used there perfect-it Paste wax on my bro's mustang and it worked great!It shined its butt off.3-M and Duragloss I think are the best otc stuff you can get.

the "one-two" punch of the 3m line is the 3m perfect-it III running compound followed up by 3m perfect-it SE (Swirl Eliminator)....mostly available at body shop supply stores....leaves a finish just as good as my menzerna...

this is the "new" looking packaging I was refering to. I was thinkning maybe it was lower grade then the "proffesional" body shop stuff, because I see it at every strauss/napa/autozone etc...
