Okay...what do you guys make of this?

I use 845 and don't get anything like this...

Thats a drying technique called flooding. Flood the paint from top down and there is almost no drying. The more you spray the car the more water drops. Not really sure of the purpose of the vid but ?

Mixxer, is this more to do with technique or the product used? In other words, would a different product be as effective?:shrug:

A good carnauba should perform like that. This is an M3 I did last week.

Really? :??:

Yes, all you have to do is call and you can have your own made as well. You can provide a graphic and you can even tweek the formula as you wish. Go on Chemical Guys site. Adam's polishes are also re-labels

Chemical Guys makes Pete's 50/50 and here's Justin's comments about both

Okay.....so it's time to toss the ol' nozzle I suppose. It would be nice to not have to battle with the damn water spots as bad as I do now. Is it reasonable to expect 845 to give me a similar sheeting action or does this only happen with a good carnauba?

I'm kinda pissed I've never seen anything like this before. I've been killing myself after washing....I always ended up having to hit the whole car with a QD after drying to get the spots off, adding a good 30 minutes to the wash!!! :fm:

werd. "flooding" or "Sheeting", i actually figured this out when i was a kid washing mom and dads cars. as the water sheets, it helps grab smaller water globules and take them with the sheet.

I dont really use it anymore, only places it comes in handy for is the hood/roof or any flat top areas. Too many contours on the sides of most cars for it to be effective there.

So Adam's polishes are not their own? We'll thats a bummer, thats all I have been using.

Correct, now they may tweek the formula or add colors to be different but you are paying more for Adam's when you could buy Chemical Guys. Detailed Image has a sale on stuff right now. Also $5 flat rate shipping

Actually, Wet Obsession is not the exact same as the Chemical Guys product. It is derived from one of their products, but is custom blended.

You can get a private label from CG and you can also have products custom blended as well. There is just a minimum order requirement. To get a custom blend you have to have a big batch made.

+1 I can vouch for this to be true.
