I'm pretty certain I'll be able to source most OTC products.
Which products would members here like objective unbiased reviews on?

Feel Free to add any Turtlewax/ Meguiars/Mothers products that are of ready availability..I think Smart products are also becoming more popular as well, and I should be able to knock them down in about a few weeks, after school's out

We still need to come up with a format for reviews so we can run it through Dave. I finish finals this week so I'll talk to you more about it when its over. Hopefully we can get this section more active than just a couple of us lol...

Same here.... Meguirs 2.0 review would be nice. I use different products on my cars to see the results. I too am a little OCD on sealants and waxes

To be of most value to readers, I'd suggest that you may want to consider limiting testing to those products that are currently shipping. NXT 2.0 is the current version and a lot different in performance than the original. Same goes for #21 2.0. The 1.0 products are discontinued.

Here is my list of OTC wax/sealant I think might be interesting to see evaluated:


Collinite 476s
Klasse
Meguiar's NXT 2.0
Meguiar's #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax
Meguiar's Gold Class
Mothers Reflections
P21S
Zymol Cleaner/Wax

The longest I've ever gone with the NXT is a month. And it still beads. After the car wash and dry it still shine like a mother. (maybe because my paint is still good) But the thing I did notice is the slick kinda goes away. Maybe because I use the self serve car wash, they use non-car wash soap (maybe dishwash). That's my 2 cents.
