Results look good, but the question is how does it compare to
Meguiar's Waterless Wash and Wax Meguiar's Waterless Wash and Wax
? It gets great reviews on Amazon, and I just picked up a bottle for $7.50 there (not sure what Chadwick's costs). My friend with a Viper swears by this product, and I can see the results on his car (which is also fiberglass, btw).

You have to use Chadwick's to really appreciate the results. The more you use it, the better the results !! The Triple Play takes off all the old wax and other crap that makes the finish look dull. Neil says the more you wax your car the worst it can look. He believes the wax melts in the sun or heat of the day trapping all kinds of crap then turns cold trapping the foreign material in the wax then you wax it more and you get the drift. So the more you use it the more it strips away the junk and adding protection !!! The tire stuff is out of this world good, makes all rubber stripping and hoses, interior parts like new, soft and pliable !! I have been using the tire stuff on my seats for 3 summers and this past winter had to do some seat repairs and my 18 year old leather was like new !!!

You get a couple nice micro fiber towels with the CTP kit. I also use other micro fiber towels and they work fine. Hope this helps bob

Has anyone used the whole paint correction system? If so, how did it work? 289 is kind of expensive so I thought I would get opinions
Thanks

Yes, I did. On my Vette (pictured above), my wife's BMW and my F250. There was enough in the kit to do ALL of them, plus some left over.

CTP works for me. That pic is in poor light. It looks better in the sun.

Only used a orbital polisher a couple of times before. Was the polishing difficult?
Thanks

Thank you. That picture was taken by a professional at Cars & Coffee Richmond, and it makes it look better than in person, I think.

Part of me wants to move on to a full custom chopper, but comments like yours make me want to keep it and blow the rear end out to a 300 tire.

Ok, so I just watched the paint correction video and read through the FAQ's on his site. Here is my question for those that use it personally.

Aside from my Corvette (which I DD except winters), I also have two SUVs in the family...one of which is black with no metallic in it and used all year long, plus my Dad just purchased a Black Metallic used Avalon with swirls for miles. How realistic is it to not have to wash the car before I use this product under everyday normal driving conditions?

Most here is talking about their Corvettes, which may be DD under only fair weather conditions or just a sunny day cruiser garage queen. And on his site the cars referenced are high end luxury sports cars and classics. Hardly an everyday plain jane appliance we all have in our garages too. Can I seriously not ever use soap and water to wash a REAL daily driver that runs through rain storms, bug splatter, tar, etc...?

I have had vehicles for well over fifty years, and the only time they ever saw soap of any kind was right before a detailing and waxing.
With a good coat of wax, I don't care if it's mud, bugs, or whatever, it will come clean by hose water only.

The object of soap is to remove dirt, and contaminants.
While doing that, it also removes the wax coating.

I will dig in my files and show you some of my past vehicles that never saw soap to keep them looking like new.
My current vehicle is one of them.
And by the way, ALL my vehicles have been daily drivers.

Bob.

The GMC (2003 with a 174,00 miles) was my DD for many years, it was dull, never used the Paint Correction on it, living in Michigan it would be covered with salt and grime, just used Chadwick's on it. (nice to not worry about frozen doors and such) Sold it and bought the Monte SS for DD never washed it with water !! (did the paint correction just to see)

Good ole turtle wax, and the finish is almost mirror like.
That's the compliment I hear over and over, "it's like looking into a mirror."

Nothing wrong with using Chadwicks, but all that work, and extra money, one has to ask, is it worth it?
Wouldn't be for me, especially when I can get as good, if not better results with turtle wax.

I used it (triple play and paint correction) on both my wife's BMW (she DD's it) and my F250 (I DD it, and plow with it in the winter). With the truck, any "heavy" dirt/mud will get hosed off first. Light dirt/pollen I will just use CTP.
