Great for chrome, glass, painted surfaces etc.

I bought another brand to detail my bike. A friend bought a 16 ounce bottle and brought it with him. After trying it, I threw my other brand in the trash. After using it on my bike I decided to see how well it would clean and polish the chrome on my truck. which made me buy this gal because I had completely used up all of his Speed Shine! So now we have enough for motorcycles, trucks and everything else. It works well on bodywork, chrome, plastic, plexiglass motorcycle windshields, cleaning…

THE BEST PRODUCT ON THE MARKET BECAUSE IT HAS SO MANY APPLICATIONS!

I love this material! Buying a refill gallon is the only way out. It's extremely versatile, to the point where I use it daily to clean the windows of the farming equipment I operate. It doesn't really help keep windows cleaner than regular glass cleaner, including paint on vehicles. My black Subaru Outback responds well to this substance. Just make sure you use good quality microfiber towels, fold them in quarters and ALWAYS turn them to the new side frequently, or make homemade sandpaper if…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Surprisingly light sheen

I am very meticulous about maintaining my car and mostly use professional detailing products not typically available to retail buyers (I have a brother-in-law in the shop). Aside from an amazing drying towel, Griot's Garage Speed Shine is the first product I've used. The product is easy to apply and remove and leaves an incredible shine on my black Ford Explorer Sport. Regarding negative reviews, most of the complaints were about the packaging and the product leaking during shipping, not the…

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers

  • Some issues

Greatest Spray Detailer / Color Enhancer

This product really is a great all-rounder for detailing. I'm not a detail specialist, but that makes me look like one to the untrained eye. I use this for everything including interior door panels (plastic, faux metal panel, etc.). Photos: I washed this car 4 days ago. Did less than 100 km in 3 days in the rain. Then he drove 35 miles without rain. I sprayed this detailer onto a fine mist and then wiped away the water stains/light traffic film with the first microfiber towel. I used a second…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price

Best atomizer I have ever used

Definitely the BEST atomizer I have ever used. My #2 on this question is Meguiar Ultimate Quik Detailer. I'm glad they sell this by the liter because it's a really great product. I have a black car so it's sooooo hard to keep it clean and tidy. If you breathe on it wrong, it scratches. For this reason it is very important to have a good detailer that has good cleaning/lubrication so you don't scratch the paint with dust/dirt. I only used it as a clay lubricant when I applied the paint. This is…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs

Too bad to see so many positive reviews

This is the short version. I feel sorry for those who think this is a great product as it is just a diluted high yield version of traditional gloss/wax polymer applications. A MUCH BETTER choice is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WM9RZW which outperforms these in terms of detail and leaves excellent shine and pearls. The Griot product doesn't "clean" a dirty area very well and you'll end up using half a bottle to do so. In contrast, the Aero product is thick, can be added to a bucket of…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
