    After reading some reviews then looking at the site I think I may want to actually try some products. The products in question are:
    Blacklight
    Hybrid V7
    G6 plastic coating
    Factory paint sealant FS
    Nano 3n
    P40 polish

    I absolutely love V7, it is incredibly easy to use, beads and sheets well, and looks great. I saw all the hype around it and decided to give it a try and am very happy I did.

    Blacklight and V7........ if you like sealants this is a very nice product. I pretty much use this combo now unless someone askes for something specific.I have no experinces with the polish line, I prefer Menzerna. get it and review it!

    The G6 is a very nice product, but I prefer VRT it is more universal. Jetseal 109 is a outstanding product too, I think is a cut above FS. I think Rfinkle2 had some he was trying to sell.

    P40 is one of their polishes that seems to catch my attention.
    Thank you guys for the info so far

    blacklight also has light filling properties but not as heavy as say ez-creme, despite it being called a sealant, it has nearly no beading properties.

    once you slap the V7 it beads fairly very nicely. Or any other spray sealant for that matter...........

    I am still confused on what the heck black light truly is but what I do know is there is something about the cars I have seen pictures of that looks amazing. I was thinking of the kit they have. I bet BL would look good with Opti Seal

    opti seal might sink beneath the bl tho cuz of its properties so that may become a problem. I am leaning towards it being a glaze.

    its hard to label........ honestly. But a glaze is how its classified on CGs site

    I've been using Vertua Bond 408, then BL, then V7. I haven't been disappointed with any CG products that I've gotten. However, Menzerna is the only polish I use.

    I know a lot of people don't like CG for some reason ,but I have always had good luck with their products and customer service. I think Blacklight and V7 are 2 of their best products. i actually just ordered a gallon of V7 ( I am also getting a sample of hose free ) CG is great for letting you try things and no cheap little sample either. V7 is special I did my DD 95 pick up with SRP then topped with V7 it looks great with tons of beading, I also love Wet Mirror Finish I bet it would look great topped with V7.

    I think carpro reloaded wouold be better than v7 IMO.

    Why? just curious........ I was considering getting some reload to try.

    I think the biggest reason for me for using CG is availablity. I can get it in less then two days, and the shipping is so inexpensive for me. I can ship 5 gallons of product for 12.00..... It cost me 12.00 to ship from phil two bottles of AGCWC. If i lived on the east coast im sure it would be different.

    I have my issues with CG, mostly a confusing website and overload of products but I really like them and they do work very well compared to other products within similar price points etc. etc.

    I am intrested why certain people dont like CG products, Ive never asked... again just curious. You wont sway me from using them but I do like to hear both sides of a story.

    seems like reloaded is a much more robust sealant, i have used reloaded v2 and do like it, great sheeting properties....

    whats the durabilty? My moms MKX is going on 2 monthes with one coat of BL and V7 and countless dust and rain storms.......... it actually suprised me its still sheeting.

    have only had it on for few weeks, monthish, and has been keeping up well..hoping for some more long term testing to come up soon in the summer time. Have seen reports of 2-3 months of durability with just reloaded.

    nice...... well on my personal car i always add to the LSP every other wash so its hard for me to judge stand alone single application durability unless I have access to a customers car later down the road.

    It is without question, but V7 is so much easier to use and is much more forgiving to overapplication. In my experience with both, Reload is the first spray sealant I have used that I am 100% confident in as a standalone LSP, adds tangible gloss and compliments Cquartz perfectly. V7 is more of a QD plus and is best used as a topper, it also looks great and is dead easy to use.

    I bought some BL and V7 but have yet to use it. Looking forward to it though.

    So do you think I could top the BL with Jetseal, then V7 If in fact it is a "glaze"? I thought the BL was supposed to last a few months because it was a sealant?
