OVERATED: Which Products In Your Opinion?

[Grizzly]

Sorry, I just think Optimum is overrated.

We agree to disagree.

No need to jump down my throat.

Didnt know some folks here were so sensitive about their beloved Optimum.

[rohnramirez]

Took the words from my mouth...

True. It wasn't advertised to be a miracle all around product.

Exactly! ONR does what it is marketed to do for a great price. If I told you I hated submarines because I can't fly in them would it make any sense?

... and


@Grizzly & Mindflux - I agree they are overrated. But that doesn't necessarily mean that their products are not topnotch. IME, ONR is a must have product, it's versatile, cheap and effective.

For me it's anything made by Adams especially the VRT. I have mixed feelings about the Diamondite Plastic Armor too. Not sure it really provides "better" protection over Plexus...

The first thing I said that Overrated does not mean it's a bad product. I like Optimum Car Wash and I kind of like ONR.. and I liked OPP until my gallon separated. From what I've read once it's separated it's pretty much "spoiled" from a discussion I had with Bunky about it after he confirmed his went bad with Dr. G.

Overrated != poor product. I do agree that Optimum is pretty wildly over rated. They are good products (most of them anyway) just loved a little too rampantly.

Actually, no.

Overrated means to rate, assess or estimate too highly. It DOESN'T mean poor.

There's as much of that ^^^ going on with this site and their "preferred house" brand stuff as there is with ANY other site that favors one product over the other. It's all about pushing product & with an inexperienced detailing crowd it's very easy to do.

No offense meant to anyone.

!= means not (in geek language).

So, Overrated != Poor Product (aka, Overrated does not mean it's bad).



I agree with the rest of what you said. "House" brands are totally MEH to me. Regardless of the vendor.
