2014 Year in Review - 15 Products That Knocked My Socks Off

[addysdaddy]

Absolutely, and for good reason: they're among the best of the best in each respective category. I'm guilty of being a (little) biased because I was actively involved with the research and development of the featured DP, BLACKFIRE, Marine 31 and Pinnacle products. I guess you could say I'm kind of like a proud papa.

I think that's fair and the regular forum members know this to be true. But regardless of what name is on the label, does the product get the job done and is it easy to use? Isn't that what all this testing and product evaluation is all about? Can't even count the number of products I've experimented with because someone on this forum has given it high marks. I've used AG house branded stuff I've loved and items I wouldn't buy again. But...I can say that with some many other branded products from manufacturers such as Meguiars, DoDo Juice, AutoFinesse, Optimum and the list goes on & on.

Frankly there is NO one detailing brand that I love universally. We all have our favorites. I suggest looking at his list and comparing it to what your current favorite is in that particular category. If your happy with what you have, I wouldn't change. OTOH if your looking for something better because XYZ isn't cutting any longer, consider one of his above recommendation(s) as an alternative...chances are you'll like what he's suggesting.

I agree, 9 out of the 15 were house brands.

Roger that, what else would we expect.

Great write up, Nick! Posting a year end personal top 10 to 15 products is a fun idea. You may have inspired me to do a list of my own
