I have been detailing my cars for over 20 years many of which have been show quality and during this time I have been through many products and I have seen many come and go. Most of them never deliver on their promises of quality.
Step one was washing the car with their car wash. Very good product and very mild removed all the dirt and left a good surface to start with.
Step two was I used the pre wax cleaner which left a nice smooth un-waxed surface.(Note I pre clayed the car the day before.)Left a very nice base to start with.
Step three. The wax very nice and very easy to use synthetic product. One thing that was different to me was that it recommended it sit on the car for 15 minutes. I actually had it on ½ hour. I then removed it. Here is where I was SHOCKED it had a very deep rich looking shine that I never see from synthetic polishes. I have used the best carnauba waxes and I can honestly say this products stands up with the best of them and for synthetic that is amazing. I also noticed no white marks on rear bumper appliqué and rubber molding which was greatly appreciated.
Step four I used the spray detailer to really clean it up and add luster to the paint. I would say I am more than impressed this kills my current product I was using which was Tropi-Care. After I was done to test the surface I used a piece of plastic wrap on the surface to check it for gloss. The darn thing never did cling LOL
I next did the wheels. There tire gel is one of only 2 I know of that do not spit when you roll. However you must make sure you put a very good coat the tires; however once you do it really is very durable.
Step five I used their 3 amigos products everywhere and I mean everywhere. What was great about it was easy to use and non greasy to the touch and I used it on my leather steering wheel without any problems and it did all the rubber and vinyl nicely. I usually need 2 products to handle this. Very versatile and I am impressed.
In summary this is a great line of products that I recommend to any who want to detail and show their car and wants very simple and easy to use products. I am going to order more for the next show season.

Please allow me to answer that, if I may
First thing I will said; What it comes down to is personal preference, are the xxx brand products good, yes, they are also VERY EXPENSIVE and very complicated to use, go to any forum and you will always find people asking on how to do this or that.
With the proper maintenance you can protect your car finish and you don’t have to break the bank, now if you have lots of money and the “LUXURY” to apply muliple coats and you need that social status that “I use xxx brand” then that is the product for you. Of course if you ask any xxx brand lover they will tell you that we don’t know what we are talking about.
Pictures always look great minutes after cleaning with any product period.
We get all caught up in the debate on what is best, it depends on who you ask, if you ask a xxx brand lover if theres any other products outthere they will tell you that xxx particular brand is the best in the world, they are the same people, who are constantly patting each other on the back. These guys are afraid of anything new. They know it all already.
Are our products the best, no, we never said or claim that, what we claim is that our products deliver as we said they will, Affordable, easy to apply and remove with great durability, that is what you get with our products, I will tell you that our customer service is # 1, that I can said.
Judge for yourself, if you can get better results in less time with less products I want to know how.
Thank you for asking, you can "click on the image for a bigger size picture"
Exterior
Wash
Bug/oxidation block
Dry
Swirl remover applied by porter cable machine and removed by hand
Wax applied by hand and removed by hand.

Awesome results guys!! Lol, not a surprise though, given I've been using the products for a year and I've seen the totally transforming results it produces over, and over, and over again.
Using Turbo Wax is a bit like "pimp my cars paint".
