    *preface* my comment not are directed towards the guy in the video but rather the hyperbole.....
    I don't know about you guys but nothing gets me more excited than statements and claims like the below that I noticed in the video


    "Luminous glow infusion".... Thats a mouthful...loll
    "poured hot in the pot".... Well doooog gone, it must be good!
    Will make the clear coat "breathe in the sun".... Better get some of this stuff, we don't want our clear coat to suffocate!
    Has a "great bond to the surface" it "adhered to the surface".... Hmmm interesting!
    "players in the sun" ... Yep, that's what I wanna be...

    Sorry guys, I know I am jaded but this stuff really makes me chuckle.....

    they could at least pick one catch phrase and run with it.

    If they redesigned their site and cut down on redundant products I might give them another try. Cut out the gangsta catch phrase marketing and just sell it like it is...

    Example:
    G7 Hypercoat? I cant tell what it is by the name...what is that? A tire dressing? A glaze? A vinyl dash treatment for an unreleased Pontiac model? I read the entire novel-length description and still don't know for sure.

    I don't get that either.

    They release everything over seas first.

    There is another product "glossworks glaze" that is available overseas too, but doesn't show on their site.

    I wonder if someone contacted then concerning how people feel about their site if they would bother changing it?

    The caotic order of your website sucks, and try to simplify your product line and descriptions!

    Thank you for your time,

    It's actually G6 hypercoat and a lot of products u can't tell what it is by the name. Like dodo juice- born to be mild, sour power and Lime prime. Or even poor boys white diamond and black hole. They are all amazing products including g6. So that isn't a good argument. Really the only thing I have against cg is they have too many products for one process. I believe they now have 9 waxes all designed for all color and make of vehicles. They would be more successful if they spent all their time into making 2-3 really damn good waxes then 9, that in my eyes, are all not even in the top ten best out there.

    detailing products are like seasonal products like clothes or fruit, people want the newest freshest thing regardless. CG could slap a "hello my name is" sticker and write in sharpie what it is and im sure someone will want to be a "playa in the sun" and will buy it even though they already have it and it was just rebadged. I don't blame CG for that, its the consumers fault for creating a atmosphere of the latest and greatest.


    Pardon me while I go get my tan on so I can be a "playa"

    He is, goes by the screen name of Handz. He's a good guy.

    Handz, how would you compare this wax to 50/50 as far as application is concerned? Is it as buttery smooth to apply?

    I'd love to see a sales graph on detailing products from release to a few years later. It has to be a huge spike and then drop and then steady line until someone mentions it online again for most. Being a recovering 'wax-buying-aholic' I'd get caught up in the excitement over each new product that was going to be the next big thing. When a new 'this is it' product came out before I was better at correction I'd think that maybe that product would make the paint look great for a long time. Now that I'm a bit better at correction when the new products come out I wonder if they will take the shine just that little bit farther, a little deeper, a little wetter look.
    Like Kilo6_one said if we didn't jump on the latest product then companies wouldn't have to keep coming out with new ones. Who wants to buy a slightly improved version of Wax#1 when it is more exciting to buy a 'completely new!' Wax#58. I'm sure CG is as addicted to our response to new products as we are to buying new ones.
    That's my guess as to why more companies don't offer small sample sizes for sale. They know enough people will get excited about the product to buy the full size, full price one and most people that buy the sample won't buy a large one later, they'll move on to the next great product. Which is why I'm probably not alone in having a shelf filled with partially used waxes that I don't often think about. We need a giant wax swap meet because it is such a pain to try to sell and ship a tin of used wax that is only worth $10-$20 but it would be great to let someone else try them and maybe satisfy my need to try other new waxes for a lot less than retail on a full container.

    EXACTLY!! Or at least a sticky where guys can list what waxes they are willing to part with and for how much. I bought some empty 3oz containers from a manufacturer and when something comes out that I'm interested in, I buy a few ounces from someone to try it. If I put a coat of wax on my car every month, it would take me 30 YEARS to go through my collection!

    Oh I agree that they are laughing all the way to the bank when they release a new product. I'm just saying as a buyer it gets frustrating that they keep bringing out the "best" new product and yet I can relate it to something else they have. Either way I'm always gonna buy their stuff. They could come out with a product called bottle of shit n I would prolly try it. That's just how us playa's role.

    I have seen a couple of his write ups on here and when i saw the video i was like, this guy looks familiar. Seems like he does some nice work.

    Back on topic, I think I will wait for a proper review before even thinking about purchasing another wax.
