If you don't already know the Chemical Guys brand, then you need to learn how to search better.

So, I take it you think Meguiar's, Mothers, Adam's, Griot's Garage, Sonax, etc are all jokes, right?

So in other words, you're super offended about expensive cleaning products, but you refuse to provide reasons why they're overpriced.

Any of the brands sshole listed above are fine. I personally like Sonax. Some people swear by Chemical Guys. It really comes down to personal preference.
