Glad to hear you like it. For the record, I've never entered a concourse. My car is hardly a garage queen. Which is why I like cheap, quick and long lasting.
After a great deal of experimenting with everything from expensive brands to really cheapo over the counter stuff I came to realize that price and durability are really the only differences. A few specific products really stand out for paint correction(Menzerna IP) and quick detailing (Fk1 425) but the overhwelming majority of detailing products produce nearly identical results to even the enthusiast, zero difference to the casual observer.

The Duragloss, Chemical Guys, and FK1 lines are no-frills, very concentrated and are offered with very low shipping costs. Save your money on these and spend your money on where I personally think it matters...towels. Quality towels are expensive and I think emphasize the point that you shouldn't be doing a full detailing of your car every week. The less you touch the paint the better, so if you need more than 20 towels you're probably detailing too often. Ditch the over priced auto store micro fiber towels which are nothing more than rebranded janitorial towels and get some top notch waffle weave towels from pak shak or poorboysworld.com.
Can't beleive some people take a cheap towel to a Porsche or similar.
