And I know what to do next, etc. And in the end, I am satisfied with the results. Please keep us DIYers in mind--like I know you will.

I am a newbie to all this, and am watching for some cool stuff from Surf City!

+1... less is more ! GL 😄

I can also say this, a very high quality car soap like AMMO FOAM paint cleanser at a competitively lower price. Now that would sell great in my opinion and it would keep people coming back for more and more. Also, a great detailing spray rivaling the Adams detailing spray would be great! I love that stuff but it's pretty expensive in all honesty.

As kind of a dumbass i am attracted to not neccesarily ease of use but ease of the system if that makes sense...color coded products with a clear cut path. Also slippery detail spray!

The thing that got me going away from some Adams products was concentrates. Something like UWW+ was so incredible with the amount of use I get for so little money. Is Adams' detail spray better? Yes IMO, but it isn't worth spending so many times more than something like UWW+.

Otherwise, to answer your questions specifically...

What do you want to see from this line?
High quality products, of course, that are offered at competitive (not dirt cheap, not that crazy) prices and not a ton of overlapping products like others have said. This just makes it confusing and really discourages me from even wanting to purchase anything from the company.

What do you love about the products you use now?
I love the ease of use as well as the effectiveness of the products. I currently use mostly Adams but a few other things mixed in. Effective, efficient and of course pleasently scented.

What do you hate about the products you use now?
The high price of some products out there. I get them because I know they work and are highly referred by people on here and have yet to steer me wrong. I don't like how quickly I go through some of the products as well, especially at the price point they are.

Is there something you wish was available that isn't?
You know, not really sure. Will have to think about this one a little more.

HAHA! I'm working fast on this stuff... since basically all day everyday is spent testing right now. Its nice to be freed up to focus on this and only this. Currently waiting for it to warm up a touch outside to do some more polish/compound tests.

A few things, like the glass cleaner, dressings, and apc concentrate are VERY close to ready.

If you need anyone to test these out and give you an honest objective opinion please feel free to contact me

I can't wait to try them! Also, if you would like honest product feedback or testing I would love to help out!

Forte · 03-28-2014, 03:21 PM

Obviously, like most, I echo the above in that I'll happily be willing to test things out if you need.

Good luck and can't wait to see what you come up with!

Just thought of another one...you could actually release Black Out under the SCG label

My tires have been looking quite nice.

serows1 · 04-02-2014, 04:57 PM

My two cents....

I'm new to detailing also, I don't want to have to go to detailing school to use the products, I want the system to work as advertised, I want it to be affordable and I don't want to have to buy product quantities that require posting a MSDS sheet in my garage.

Thanks and Good Luck!
