I was never a "detailer" but I have cleaned hundreds or thousands of cars. When I was in high school I worked at a local car lot as the car washer/detailer. Mostly I washed the inventory but occasionally got in on a detail of a trade in or an auction purchase. We used a lot of Zep products as well as some other stuff that I don't remember. Fast forward to a couple years ago, I was building my Chevelle, and I thought I knew what I was going to use to keep it up. I would use "the best", Mothers and Megs .
After I finished the Chevelle and had been washing and waxing it with "the best" and using, what I know now to be, junk microfiber towels, I had a buddy who had his car polished before our car show. The guy who polished it told him about this wax he uses...buttery wax. Told him it was the best stuff he had found, was really easy to use and you could even use it in the sun. This guy even said he waxed his truck almost every wash it was so easy. Well needless to say, it took me another year before I went in to the body shop to ask about this buttery wax. I went in and talked to the guy who had recommended it to my friend and he had a new bottle he sold me. He also said that this Adam's place had really nice wash soap and he couldn't stop talking about the Undercarriage Spray. About 2 weeks after I bought that bottle of buttery wax I had watched almost every video Adam's had on YouTube and had changed a bunch of my wash routine and had placed an order for nearly $550 worth of product and gear! That first order was at the end of August and I have been so impressed with everything that I have acquired nearly every chemical and a good selection of towels, brushes and even a Rupes 15 & Mini.
