The "premium" detailing products industry is largely marketing bull****************.

The 'budget' detailing products you see in most auto stores are basically the same product but they'll just give you a less concentrated product so that you have to use more of it (and buy more later). That dilution of the basic ingredients also means you have to put in more elbow grease but you'll still achieve 99.9% of the same result. There's also the idiot factor. Too many guys can not be trusted with a concentrated paint product.....which said ding bat will use to wax his tires with.
Meanwhile the "premium" detailing products go the opposite way and sell you 16 step kits when all you nedd is two or three.

Ok, I just finished my first detailing project. And, wow did my hot water heater come out nice . Gee, I never thought that such an ordinary household object could look so shiny . I'm seriously thinking about putting some Armor All on the hoses too. I highly recommend Swisswax to anyone who $1500 to spend on car wax.

Those water heater concours events have very stringent judging, so you need a high end product to be compeditive. The trophy is totally worth it.
