    I'm thinking of placing an order with Autodetailingsolutions. I was looking at some Meguiar's dressings there. What would you guys recommend? I haven't really used any of their dressing from Detailers line, but that's what I've been looking at. I was looking at Hyper Dressing, seems to be pretty cost efficient with decent results (engine, trim, tires), All Season Dressing for wheel wells. Was also looking at Silicone Free Dressing, and Water based Dressing, but unsure wheather I need them or not.
    And the Shampoo - Hyper wash for foam gun pre-soak, Shampoo Plus, and Super Soap for washing (thinking of a gallon of Hyper Wash, and 12 oz samples of Shampoo Plus, and Super Soap). I used Super Soap in the past and really liked it. It breaks down fast when rinsing. What do you guys think?
    Should I get Citrus Wash Clear from Chemical Guys also?

    TIA.

    I have used the hyperdressing and like it a lot. I mix it 4:1 and use it for engines and wheel wells.

    ^^^ I've used the hyperdressing before and it works really well. Rich at ADS is an awesome seller for Meguiar Products

    I've been using Hyper Dressing for about 2 and a half years, and at this point see no need to try anything else. At 3:1 on wells, it provides a perfectly black, dark look. Here's a crappy pic I just took of it (don't mind the stained trim...), that is Armor All on the tires and Hyper Dressing 3:1 on the wells after a thorough cleaning:

    If you don't mind wiping down the wells (which takes all of 1 and a half minutes for all four), then this is a great product for you.

    How awesome is ADS's new Web site? Makes me want to go out and buy something... Their samples program is the best...

    Sampler program is very cool! I wish more sites offered that in other product lines as well.

    I like ASD on tires and exterior trim, I have not tried it on wheel wells. I like Hyper dressing for wells, tires, and engine compartment

    Depends what you want it for. Pre-detail soap or strong maintenance soap?
    CWC- Pre Detail
    CWG- Strong Maintenance

    Rick at ADS is second to none. And he has good prices. I use Hyper dressing on Wheel wells,engine bay @ 4:1 and 10:1 for a matte finish on interior's. Waxit mag gave ASD a good review...I personally like it.Hyper wash is great and goes a long way.But so is Gold class... cheap and gentle.Honestly the only product that I don't care for in Megs detailer line is there Body solvent.

    Another thumbs up for ADS and their new site.

    My only problem right now with it is that I can't add stuff to the cart. I can get a couple things in there, but I can't add certain sizes or even some products to the cart (yes, I checked to see that they are in stock). I use Firefox and I've also tried using Safari since I am on a Mac. Anyone else having issues? It's only been a problem since the website upgrade. I guess worst case scenario I can make a phone order but that's a pain in the butt.

    I use APC for interiors, and last touch for clay lube and QD as well. Glass cleaner works good and smells nice. ADS is a good place. I ordered from them a few times last year, and will order from them more this year!!

    Had this as well. One of the things you need to keep in mind that just merely checking the box next to the product isn't enough. You need to make sure that the QUANTITIES are correct. For example, make sure there is a "1" in the box etc.

    Yes, and their California WW towels are the same size as Sonus Der Wonder towels, 24x30. Makes me wanna buy one. It's a 70/30 split, the only one I want (80/20 is much harder and less absorbent).

    I've heard from VXRMarc that body Solvent is rubbish.

    supercharged - I've got a half dozen of those California WW towels. I like them a lot. And they are pretty reasonably priced as well. I've also got a couple of the Cobra Guzzlers that I like as well, but the Cali WW seems a little thicker, little more absorbent. I like using the Cali's especially when I ONR wash because they are just big enough without being too big. I'd highly suggest buying some!

    that's what exactly I was looking at, being big enough WITHOUT being too big. I like Cobra Guzzlers, but they are pricier to replace - $20 a towel, when Cali towels are $10 a piece, so you can get 2. No towels lasts forever, sooner or later it needs replacement, and I just want it to be cost efficient.
