I only used the detail spray, and I must admit it is pretty good. Gives the car a nice just waxed look, goes on easy and wipes off easy. Highly recommended. Autopia.org reviewed this product. Check it out.

i use the platinum synthetic liquid wax, very little effort, and it's been 4 months since i did my hood, and it still looks great.

I've never been a fan of Turtle Wax or most of the mass marketed stuff. IMO there are better things out there.

As bluesbrekr said....all the cheaper mass-produced products are designed for a general consumer who is looking for only satisfactory results. If you are truly looking for the best results on your paint, you will have to spend more money. This is definitely a situation where you get what you pay for.

Yes, I've use it. It's okay as far as appearance is concerned. Durability sucks though. After two or three days of rain, it's gone. Two coats hardly last a week; my car would have dust, pollen, etc. sticking to it in visible amounts within a week of waxing with TW plat. If you want a good wax, go with NXT. If you want a good sealant, try Zaino. I warn you, Zaino is pretty involved but well worth it. You get the depth and reflectivity of a wax but durability measured in months rather than weeks.
