I could preach and preach on why you're wasting your money on some over the counter products but all you have to do is look at all the threads that I have started on this forum and you will immediately get an idea as to what I can do with paint. I do NOT do it with stuff made in China, I use quality supplies.
Anyone can achieve those results. It takes practice and experience, but it is much easier than people may be led to believe. Also, you can attain similar, if not the same results with quality over the counter products such as Meguiar's Ultimate Compound and Swirl X or sealants such as Duragloss 105 and 111. Any good product can produce spectacular results if used properly, it is not a factor of over the counter vs. boutique products in most cases.

Also, just because something is made in China does not mean it is of lower quality. There are many Chinese made products that are of higher quality than US made products, and vice versa. I do agree 100% that knowing how to maintain a fully corrected paint finish is as important if not more important than knowing how to polish.

I polished my Saab's paint with Swirl-X, a black LC pad and a PC. Are these results inferior versus my Menzerna po85rd which is my go to finishing polish? No, I think the results speak for themselves. Process: Swirl-X, LC pads, PC, and was given an isopropyl alcohol wipe down. No wax or sealant is on the car: sun shots don't lie, you can achieve perfect results with over the counter products.
