I used Collinite products for many years, with acceptable results.
No.845 insulator wax
No. 840 pre wax cleaner

I have not tried the newer formulations.

I have used Rejex from US Corrosion Tech for the last 5 years or so, and really like it. Super easy to apply, and remove...and seems to last. Relatively inexpensive too.

The No. 840 pre wax cleaner now carries a label warning, that it is not for use on dark clear coats. It can, and will scratch the finish.

I find that the Rejex cleans, as well as it protects.

Smile CQUARTZ

My car has CQUARTZ (CarPro) coating...I bought it that way. I have no idea the cost, the ease/difficulty of application, or whether it's worth ???

Interested to know what you think?

FWIW and having used Rejex, Zaino, Sonax, and more (like most everyone here I'd guess), I have been lazy and using Ducora F11 Topcoat. Multiple uses and am impressed for a non ceramic product. 15 minutes to do entire car and environmentally friendly. $$ but doesn't take much. Your experience may vary.

Interesting. I still use Klasse AIO and SG. I think that stuff as been around since the 70s. I guess it's time to try something new once I run out.

Rejex. Will have to give it a shot. 's/j/g/'

Same here. Klasse using AIO and SG that I top with a carnuba wax. I have Rejex and I've used it o wheels mainly as it seems to work well for that, didn't even think to try for the body.

I've seen crystal serum on a car recently and it looks really good as well. I've just heard if you need any paint work done that the ceramic coatings add complication to it.

Just booked my appointment for the high end package, including the wheels and interior. Heck, added my wife's car too. Will send some photos (if the folks will take them for me).

I've been using Klasse for years with great results.

I've always been a DIY detailer. I've tried Sonax, Collinite, Meguires, Menzerna, Adams, Griots, Geyon and most recently AMMO products. Last year I applied AMMO reflex topped off with two coats of skin and was very happy. It looked good with minimal hand washes throughout the year and one addition coat of Skin after 6 months. Still holding up ok. At the same time I started using AMMO a friend had the ceramic pro PCA package (which comes with some kind of warranty) installed on his car and truth be told over a year later it still looks like it was just done, amazing. He has not one swirl mark on the car after almost a year of frequent hand washes and a lot of driving. No matter what you choose the biggest difference maker is often the person who applies it and how you maintain it.

I've been using Rejex about 3 years. It doesn't have the deep shine of some other products but on a silver car it doesn't matter. After 6 months the water still beads as if it was applied yesterday. Also makes wheels much easier to clean.
