we're also getting bad pollen and lots of rain here, i was hoping i could just rinse (w/o washing) on some nights to get off the dust and wet grime, roll it into the garage and wake up to a dry somewhat cleaner car.

think the CR spotless would work for me ?

i have had the CRspotless for a while now. i LOVE it. i still dry the car afterwards, but it makes the water stuck in the cracks not make spots when it comes out while driving. plus it beads the water off the car better for the final rinse.

well i was going to use it on my car, but i went with ezcreme instead... im going to detail my mom's car soon, so i will let you know. i doubt i will get the other stuff. im pretty set on menzerna polishes and jetSEAL. especially with speedarmor being a wax/sealant combo im not too convinced.

RocketPolish SUCKS!!! I used it and did not care for it at all. I agree with Phil, for CG polishes are nothing special.

The bonding agent is, well, not bad. After using it today on a client’s car that was black I like it a bit more. I used it on my car a month ago, and it did not make the wax last any longer.

My conclusion with VB is that I would rather use a glaze. A glaze gives better shine and depth than VB. Don’t get me wrong, for after using VB and topping it with a wax you can tell something else was used besides wax, but it just does not give the "pop" a good glaze does. The only thing VB has over a glaze is that application and removal is much easier. It also has a cleaning agent, but I dont have the need for a "cleaner wax". After P21sTAW, CWC, and clay I am pretty sure the paint is prepped so all that is needed is a glaze/polish, sealant, and wax.

Yes. If you have the paint prep done (wash, clay, polish) and are sure all of the polish oils are off just use Revive Glaze or any type of Glaze. VB 409 is more of a paint cleaner and when you do all of the steps listed above, a paint cleaner is not needed.
