I have and they do not live up to the hype in my opinion.

Need everything. Soap, clay bar, polish and wax. Would love to get rid of the swirls and get a great shine on the black paint. They do seem like a lot of hype but the prices don't seem bad and I've read other good reviews.

Soap is soap, just get pH balanced. Clay is clay, I like Meguiars. Meguiars or Menzerna for polish with lake county foam pads and/or Meguiars microfiber cutting pad. Menzerna power lock or Blackfire wet diamond as a sealant and top with your favorite wax if you want; people like Collinite 845 on top of those.

Shop around a bit.
Use the 'Detailed Image' Detailing Guide for answers on all of your questions. IMO, totally honest reviews and tutorials on different products, techniques, and practicies. It was an invaluable resource for me.

http://www.detailedimage.com/Auto-Detailing-Guide/

Lastly....try to do some more research. The search feature here is great.....many of the questions you could possibly come up with have already been answered.

Hope this helps.

I just started looking into their stuff. I don't think CG makes any "bad" products, and there are many people that swear by them just as there are people that swear by other brands.

What I find confusing and overwhelming about CG is they have SO MANY VARIANTS of each type of product with subtle minor differences. Like 10 types of car shampoo.
