I do have some CG products that I like I know they make great products but certain things bother me.

Ya. When they started advertizing their coating as something unique that no one else had (this after years of coatings being on the market) I gave up on them I hate false advertizing, to me doing that and frauding people is pretty much the same thing.

They have to publish that data. If all else fails, you take it for a test drive. Hype is part of marketing, over promising or, frankly misleading info, is not. And it's no way to get repeat customers. There's an old saying.. you can sheer a sheep many times, but skin it only once.
Case in point: multiple videos show Gregg using a "workhorse" towel to buff the paint. Are you kidding me? That thing is BARELY above Costco grade. Second, look at their description/classification for Blacklight. Is it a glaze? is it a cleaner wax? Doesn't matter...b/c it can do it all. Just apply and your car will look "wet and fresh" (sorry, had to chuckle at that).
I do hate those misleading sales marketing tactics too. Like how the various department stores send out adds saying they are having the biggest sale ever. The sale to end all sales.

Turtle Wax tire coating is an exception here, trust me
I agree about AA for sure though but it does serve a purpose, wheel well dressing.

Check you facts before you try to bust someone's balls.

I know what you mean though.
The brand of protection doesn't matter. At any dealer the surface most likely is not prepared to the highest standards and/or the coating is not installed correctly.
