Supposed to be very good stuff. Post up a review once you use it on your car.

[QUOTE=jdvann;1586002480]I look forward to your review.[/QUOTEJ
My review... Ok just finished and lets see here. First off Neil posted yesterday asking me to call him before I got started. I was just about to pick up the phone and do that but he called me first! Had a nice conversation with him. He is definitely all about his product and on level 11 enthusiasm. I can honestly say I've never had anyone call me to make sure I was happy, informed and ready to go with their product.

Now for my experience: My C5 got caught in a sprinkle on Monday and was just enough to leave dirty spots all over it and not enough to wash it off. I did as directed by Neil and did not pre wash the car. Sprayed it with triple play (in sections) let sit about 10 seconds then wiped it over and repeated the process moving around the car on all panels. I then did the same this with the foam pad/bar process wiping down each panel before moving on. I then went through with a new clean MF towel and buffed the little bit of haze off the entire car. I will note that i paid no attection to what I sprayed triple play on. I sprayed the paint the moldings the lights, even all the windows and wiped it all down. I then Sprayed some a MF towel and did my crome z06 wheels and new corsas exhaust tips.

After the final buff off with the clean MF towel I used the No Sling dressing on the tires, the inner fender wells, the black wiper cowl, wiper arms, window trim. It was looking so good I went and got another sponge (that was a new generic wax applicator that I cut off the terry covering) and I used the No Sling Dressing on the doors, dash, center console, airbags everything that was black!
at that point went back to my triple play and did the all the door jams too.

Conclusion: In the end I spent about an hour and a half doing the whole car inside and out and the results are pretty amazing. I mean the car was damn near perfect before so I wasn't really expecting much more but holy schnikes it looks like a calm red lake on a sunday morning! and the feel of it??? Holy Crap-ola its freaking slicker than a politician tongue! I swear to all things holy rubbing my hand on the car I started to get aroused... (WHOA WHOA WHOA TMI TMI its not that kinda forum!!! )

The No Sling equally kicks *** too its not greasy and nasty and just makes everything black super black with not a shinny dipped in butter look but a sitting on the showroom floor of the 2014 auto show shine.

now for the bad news: I used more than expected and prob have enough to do it maybe more 2 times without the buffer block which really shouldnt be needed again for months to come. However using the buffer block means you basically do the car twice so your going to use twice as much as you would under normal cleans I also did it outside under a detail car port area on a pretty windy day so I'm positive I sprayed more that I would have needed to if i waited until i got home to do it in my garage however patience is a virtue im still working on ;-)

Other bad news: My C5 is now so damn clean and shiny i found paint blemishes (crack in paint on headlight door cover) that I had no idea were there... thanks a lot Neil! :-)

More bad news: ummmm seriously there is no bad news Neils Triple Play product worked just like he said it would and just like every other review and I'm in the car business and have been for over 30 years I got started detailing cars and still to this day even though I have professional detailers on staff I prefer to clean and detail my own cars so I'm a bit close minded when it comes to new wonder products but I also believe the proof is in the pudding and unless you try it for yourself you really have no way of knowing. I am glad that I gave it a shot and I will be placing an order for a gallon of it today.

Finally: If anybody in the Orlando Area that is skeptical or curious that wants to come see and hell I'll let ya try it on a spot for yourself feel free to hit me up

Pics coming in an about an hour I wanna take it out to a nicer spot other than my work to get some pics the car. She is so damn pretty now thanks to Chadwick's it totally deserves a special picture out with a better background :-)

I had a similar experience to Pirateslife4me. I received the Triple Play overnight after ordering (I'm across state from Neil in FL), and the stuff worked like a charm. Full disclosure: I had just washed her on MLK Day and she was in the garage since then, but the shine and smoothness of the paint after applying was still impressive. Same goes for the tire dressing - easy to apply and looks great. Doesn't take long to do the entire exterior, either.

So if you're on the fence whether to buy or not, I'd say give it a go. It's a small investment (relatively speaking) which saved me a good amount of elbow grease and time yet still yielded very nice final results.

This is a great product. No more water wash. I started using this product last summer. Bought the gallon size after finishing the original purchase. You can use this product also on glass and leather.
Easy to apply. The Z shines all around.

I ordered some and it was delivered today, looking forward to trying it.

When it's well below freezing for weeks at a time a waterless wash that I can do in the garage with no mess is exactly what I wanted.

Ok Just got back from shooting some pics on my phone. Cop stopped by while i took pics (since i was parked illegally and well sorta kinda blocking traffic but in all fairness there wasn't really any traffic and i wasn't really blocking anything but I kept that to myself. Instead I waved and said Hi he asked what I was doing and I told him "I know I'm not supposed to be parked here or like I am and I am sorry deputy but I just got this new chadwicks wax stuff and my car looked so awesome I had to stop and take pictures" LOL He looked shocked that I was so i guess truthful and said ummm ok well.. your about done though right? I said yes sir and said " wow that is pretty Vette man... i'll just hang out here and make sure nobody hits you anything" I said Ok thank you took a another pic and then got in my car and left LOL.

Looks awesome... same results here - I am one my 2nd gallon. Only complaint is shipping cost, but not much can be done about that!
