Slowly moving away from Chemical Guys. What do you guys recommend?
So I have been using exclusively Chemical Guys Products for about a year now and thinking of moving on.
What do you guys recommend instead of the following products.
Soap: CG Mr. Pink
APC: CG Nonsense
Sealant: CG Jet Seal
Wax: CG Butter Wet Wax
Polishes: CG V-line
Pads: CG Hexlogic pads
Clay bar: CG Clay bars(Obviously)
Clay Lube: CG Lubber
Stain Remover: CG Lightning Fast
Degreaser: CG Orange degreaser
I realize that I have more CG products than I thought.
Thanks for your inputs.

What are you objectives? Do you only detail your own cars, detail for money on the side, pro detailer?

Re: Slowly moving away from Chemical Guys. What do you guys recommend?
Soap: optimum car wash
APC: Meguiars d101 Apc or optimum power clean
Sealant: blackfire wet diamond or Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant
Wax: way too many too list
Polishes: Meguiars, I primarily use m100, m101 and m205 menzerna, rupes polishes to go with their system
Pads: rupes pads or lake country thinpro, hydrotech
Claybar: I use nanoskin clay pad, mitt and sponges
Claylube: I use ONR in a claylube dilution, more economical
Stain remover: I use my APC for interior cleaning
Degreaser: also use my APC for degreasing purposes
As for polisher, what type of polisher do you currently have. The rupes system is awesome, but if you have a griots then I suggest the boss system.

I have a PC and will receive a Flex Kompakt next week. Saving for a Rupes 15.

Slowly? You need to speed up!! Run! as fast as you can!
But I still use their soap tho.
What I use:
Soap: CG Citrus, Meg Gold class, BF soap
APC: Meg D101
Sealant: klasse sealant glaze, Blackfire wet diamond
Wax: Blackfire Midnight sun, C845
Polishes: Menzerna and Meguiars M105+205, Meguiars D300 for MF pads.
Pads: LC CCS, LC flat pads, LC hydro pads, Buff and shine Green polishing pads, meguiars MDX mf pads.
Clay bar: Griots yellow clay, Blackfire aggressive clay bar, Nano skin fine clay wash mitt.
Clay Lube: Diluted meguiars last touch to 1:1 (or use it as full strength since its so cheap )
CG stuffs work, but for the same money, you can find much better and easy to use products.

Re: Slowly moving away from Chemical Guys. What do you guys recommend?
You are actually in a great position.
- Professional detailer.
- Experienced with a brand name product line.
May I suggest selecting one, and only one, brand name of products as you did previously with Chemical Guys.
This will allow allow you to become directly familiar with a new product line, complete.
Will also allow you to compare directly to the previous product line.
The greatest benefit is:
- As a professional, you will know for yourself in the real world what and which products work best.
- Will also allow you to contribute on this forum comparison info, and general info, on both brand name product lines, which will allow the community to ask questions and get real answers.
Suggestion:
Go all in with Meguiars.
