I did a fun little trick like this with my detailing friends. They wanted to know what lsp I used as the car had a great, deep gloss to it. They kind of felt a little stupid when I told them I had yet to put the wax on the car. Some people get it, and some people buy into product hype offering the MOST AMAZING SHINE IN THE WORLD.
It's all really in the mind. Some people are happy with Adams, some are happy with Pinnacle, Megs, mothers, whatever. Fact is, it's all the prep work (polishing, wet sanding...etc) that goes into have a car with flawless paint. The majority of the products used mean very little (I promise I could walk into pep boys and only buying products from them do a detail job that will rival pro detailers with "pro" products). Pictures also mean nothing as your eyes will view everything differently.

Most people won't know what you used or if you used anything at all no. However, people who have been at this for a while can tell you what was used. For instance... one pic I looked at on a detailing site asked if people could tell which side was which on a hood he had done. I guess correctly because a sealant look is a pretty glossy, and candy coated look, while a standard nuba is more warm and natural, it also doesn't always seem to bring out flake as much as sealants.
In person I can most definitely tell the difference between the Werkstatt that I used (by the way Werkstatt makes their own stuff) and many of the other products I have tried. Certain things about it just stand out more.
