I think I'm in love!

.................With a car care product!

Shortly after I waxed Augie early this month with Meguiar's I took the plunge and set myself up with a starter kit of Prima products (taking advantage of -15% off on NAM Calender from Detailers Paradise)

Figured I'd do the Clay/Amigo/Epic routine in about 4-6 weeks when the Meguiar's started to fade.

Washed up Augie yesterday and thought I would give Hydro a whirl. HOLYCRAP Batman this stuff if AMAZING. Car was lookin' good after a post wax wash and buff but the Hydro took it to a completely different plane.

Looking forward to using the rest of the Prima arsenal. WOW

Amazing!

I'm in the same boat as you with Meguiar's. I like some of their products but have not got the "holy crap" factor from their waxes. I've used Gold Class and NXT from them and they lasted only about 3-4 weeks. Pretty average shine too. Pf!

While I didn't move to Prima products, I got a Zaino kit (after a lot of NAM recommendations) that I can't wait to use after I touch up my car's paint.

I've heard great stuff about Zaino too

Hope both outfits make regular contributions to the 'Mini Home for the mentally insane OCDers'

I started out using Meguiars' products, they were OK. Then I started using Zaino product, a big leap in quality, durability, and looks. I now use Prima products, which have excellent quality, durability, and the all important subjective looks.

Besides having a wide product line, hence one-stop shopping, Prima products, from Detailers Paradise, give us great support, info, and deals, right here on NAM

I'm glad you took the plunge and thrilled to hear you're already enjoying Prima! Hydro is definitely a particularly fun product.

Here's a Hydro tip... you only need the tiniest amount of Hydro per app. I find that users almost always use more than they need. It doesn't hurt anything to use too much but you go through it faster than you need to. Just a spritz per panel is plenty.

I do fear that one day we'll be court-ordered to fund a support group!

Zaino is also an excellent product line. Of course, I'm partial to Prima but we're past Zaino users ourselves and it's good stuff.
