    start 2 finish...one line

    just curious to know who uses one or two product lines from start to finish. i understand its a trial and error step and evry1 has there favorites, but who has used and stuck with a single product from a cost and ease of use outlook.

    Re: start 2 finish...one line

    I actually use multiple lines. I use P21S wash, ClayMagic or BlackFire Clay, PoorBoys, Megs, and Optimum Polishes, BlackFire Sealant, Natty's, P21S and Collinite waxes. As Mike P states, "Find a product you like, and use it often".

    I do know that there are a lot of people that are loyal to one brand and will do an entire car with only that line, but I like to experiment, and then find what I like.

    I would tend to doubt that very many people use the same product line entirely.
    You like Nattys, I like Souveran, and Justin is DP MaxWax. And you know what, its alright !!

    I think the "Best in Class"is the way to go. IMO Optimum makes more BIC products than any other manufacturer. BIC products (only my opinion) are ONR, OCW (as a Spray wax only, not comparing to concourse waxes. Opt. Car WASH, opc, Opti-Bond, OPP and OID. All are exceptional Bang for Bucks products too. Opti-Seal isnt on the list. I haven't tried it. BFWd is the daddy rabbit of sealants IMO. Optimum polishes are good but not BIC. I got the Menzerna Twins from Santa because they MIGHT be BIC, but M105 & m205 CAN MAKE A CLAIM TOO. i KNOW THIS IS AN INEFFECTIVE WAY TO say I dont stick to one product line.

    The best thing you can do then is read the forums. See what other people are using and read why they like them. There's a lot of personal opinion involved in this hobby and my opinion won't necessarily match with your personal experience.

    One thing I did when I first started was go with the "forum favorites" I bought the products I read about the most frequently that people were using. Some I liked and some I didn't but it was a good way to start. Also, if you buy a product that's popular and you don't like it you're more likely to find someone who will trade you something else for it.

    What fun would be using just one line ... half the challenge is picking the best of each category and then getting them to work in unison. Pinnacle, P21S, Megs, and Optimum are a couple lines where you "could" certainly use the entire line and benefit.
