Default Car Care Products

Hello All, I won this kit last week as a door prize at a local car show. Any of you guys have any experience using these products? It presents itself to be of quite good quality. Chemical Guys in L.A.? I've never heard of 'em. Regards, LowSporty

Microfiber is decent, not the best but passable
Speedwipe is a decent detail spray, not my preferred but I've used it and it worked decent enough

Tireshine I'm not familiar with but already have ones I like so I wouldn't try it, and I don't like anything added to my car wash soap other than soap (no added waxes or anything) but certainly would use it on my daily driver

Most of the Chemical Guys stuff is ok, their best product is marketing

Thanks Moose, I tried the tire shine, worked pretty good. I am concerned about build-up from repeated use of the speed/wipe/shine. Yeah, the wash/soap/shine I've always been kind of dubious about.

The speed wipe won't really build up, what little it puts down is removed with the next application or wash. More than anything it just provides a bit of lubrication to the surface while you remove any dust that's on the car. Speed wipe has a very small amount of spray wax as well (iirc) but you'd have to use it every day for weeks and weeks to get any real build up, and if it did, the first wash or even waterless wash would take it off. It's not like a proper wax or anything
