Jamie, I’ve been catching your videos once in a while when the algorithm throws one at me. This one really grabbed my attention though. I have been trying to decide what single brand I could use as my “go to”. I’ve tried some Meguiars, Suds Lab, Turtle Wax, and some Superior Products. I’ve also had some good luck with P&S products because of bulk availability. But they’re still more pricey than Superior Products. After hearing you say what I’ve been thinking , I’m convinced I can give my customers just as good a job using a non designer brand product. Also, I like your advice because it’s down to earth and based on practical experience running a business and having to make decisions based economics and profitability. Ok- I don’t know if I’m making sense or just rambling so I am going to hit the like and subscribe buttons and ring the bell. Thanks for your good and thoughtful work.
As a gloss intensifier, IMO, E-Z Shine is comparable to a boutique brand and the manufacturer doesn't make untenable claims regarding its longevity. I appreciate an honest company. Truly impressive look. Easy to work with. I use it undiluted. Better than, say, Ethos Resist at a fraction of the cost. As long as we're talking about Superior, their Non-acid Cleaner may be my favorite APC. Fantastic at 4:1. Aqua Gloss is an interesting product, too. Very nice on interiors at 3:1. Surprisingly so. A deep look with a factory-like hint of a sheen. Love it on tires, undiluted, with a very short dwell time before leveling or 1:1 with a longer dwell. Enjoyed the video.
I’m not a pro detailer but I do keep a lot of products on hand and just recently got into the superior products - first one added to my arsenal is Dark Fury. I appreciate all these detailer videos!
@@jamiesdetailing oh I do. It’s excellent on wheels and is phenomenal to add a little to the foam cannon for the top of my Tahoe. It’s so difficult to keep clean but the DF helps cut through all the crap that accumulates up there.
Keep the content coming! Superior products are such an efficient product for us detailers. Honeslty you've done a great job explaining some products that aren't maybe mainstream because people haven't talked about them in their line.
Seriously thanks for the kind words my man! I really appreciate the support. They definitely have an awesome lineup of products. If there is anything you want to see a demo or tutorial on feel free to share it and I will add it to my video list 👊🏾
Also superior products like it that way , they don't want a lot of spotlight , it's the way they keep the cost down for those who do buy It according to them that is. You don't really see superior commercials like you do the rest of the industry
@@KingTheDetailer This is very true! I'm thankful for the people that do go over some of their products to have an idea what application I can use them for.
JAMIE! It would be AMAZING if you would do a wash using your product lineup in order of how you would wash a vehicle. I’m interested in what order & which Superior products you recommend using to do a maintenance wash, dry & protection. What you recommend using if you haven’t had any paint protection applied & what you recommend if you have had paint protection applied. Lastly, what you recommend to use for those colder months where you don’t or can’t drag out your pressure washer to do a proper wash. Doing video on a Model 3 would be ideal (the car I own, lol).
Hey I might be able to do something like that for you! I don’t know if I will have a model 3 available for it but the process would be the same. Definitely stay posted for future videos!
@ That would be awesome. You say you don’t do bucket washes really anymore, so, what is it that you do? Rinseless? If you’ve gone over this in your videos & I missed it would you post link to what your preferred method is currently? Lastly, I have a couple questions. I’ve used Gyeon Foam which is a prewash that starts at ph 14 & drops after you let it sit & rinse it off is there a Superior product you recommend that could do the same job? Second question, & this may be a stupid idea since I’ve never seen anyone do it or suggest it, but, if you do prewash with a foam product that breaks down organics & rinse off the larger dirt followed with an APC in a foam cannon can you do a contact wash using the foam that is on the car? My issue is that only way I can get dirt off the car is with contact wash which I’d rather not do.
@skeyhani9755 hey if you checkout my video on my “modified rinseless wash method that is basically what I do for most vehicles. My 2 favorite prewashes are 2oz Muscle Magic with cherry foam or Dirt buster, or I just use road warrior which is a neutral presoak/soap. I also spot treat any bugs or heavy road grime with Dark Fury. It will all depend on the vehicle though sometimes I just use dark fury and go straight to my contact wash. If you have a good prewash your contact wash will be super safe and if I am foaming the car for the contact wash I just foam and wash rinsing my wash media after each panel or so.
@skeyhani9755 second question APC breaks down organics so I would use them together on the same step to save time. Otherwise you are basically dojng a contact wash with APC and I typically would avoid this. Every vehicle will be different and sometimes you will be able to take shortcuts like if the paint is already in need of a correction you won’t really need to be so careful. For instance the other day I cleaned a 87 corvette with trashed paint. It didn’t need a presoak since it is a garage queen so I just went straight into a contact wash using my APC and Soap in a foam cannon. Sorry for the long replies I hope you got something from this 😅
I really love your channel bro! So informative without shilling for sponsors. I used the tech choice to prevent water spots on my wife's car and on a charity wash for my neighbor. I use adam's graphene boost for my truck. My wife's Rav4 is white and my 4Runner is white. The tech choice is definitely has a warmer look, almost like carnuba. I am officially on love. Great info. What is your tech choice dilution ratio? F30 wheel acid followed up with Dark Fury is an absolute miracle worker. It ripped 5 years worth of baked on brake dust like it was nothing. Absolutely unbelievable. I used the superior leather lotion on my seats and interior. It's phenomenal. I don't know how pros use anything but superior products if they are working with cars that are not high end. I wish you all the luck in the world bro. I'll spread the word on your channel and I can't wait to see you blow up in a good way! Keep putting out content and your channel will get big in no time. Salute bro!
You are on it!!! 💪 sounds like you got a dope process down with all 3 products. I use them the same but typical put 2-4oz of road warrior in a foam cannon! Will definitely be trying out 10:1 for a pre-soak
You can find all the products in this video on our resources page along with all of our dilution ratios for each chemical. You will also find Jamie’s Detailing Merch like T-Shirts, Hats and even a Detailing Apron. Thank you for supporting the channel and business! jamiesdetailing.com/resources/
Jamie this was one of my first videos I saw of yours. Your testing and recommendation had me getting a gallon of it. I use this on my heavy equipment and my truck and I’ve been very happy with it. These obviously aren’t show vehicles. But everyone I run into say how nice my equipment looks. Thank you for the recommendation.
@@jamiesdetailing yes it does and diesel and burnt diesel are just a grimy mess normally. I’m taking some over to a friend’s place to put on his helicopter. Not only does he get burnt kerosene on it where the rotor drives the kerosene down on it. But that thing is a bug magnet because of the altitude he flies and the big windows or bubble smears up.
I use the formula 4 on almost every vehicle even If I’m gonna put protection on, it just makes drying so much easier on a vehicle that doesn’t have any hydrophobics
I definitely think you will enjoy SPs waterless wash! Not as versatile as other rinseless washes that you can typically mix up as a quick detailer or waterless wash but it is a far better dedicated waterless wash. Really really slick and leaves a nice finish.
@@jamiesdetailing bro thank you for the thorough review, because I couldn’t find anything on it from someone’s personal opinion. You’re awesome for putting superior products on game to this detail TH-cam community. They need to know its way better profitable options for business products that are professional grade. An I’m so excited that the waterless wash is slick and dilutable.
If I wanted to start and get only 5 gallons of products, what do you recommend for each category? 1.) Apc 2.) Rinseless Wash 3.) Water based dressing (int & ext) 4.) Detail spray/drying aid (Ceramic based) 5.) Car soap
Thanks a ton for the question. I’m actually going to use this comment for a future video. 👌🏽 Pink perfection McKees N914 Aqua Gloss Tec 582 Dirt Buster
You’re quite the salesman! Now I need to go try all their stuff. I thought they only made Dark Fury and Formula 4! I hadn’t heard of all their other products.
I actually have something similar on my website on the resources page. It is a google docs page with all the products I use for my business and all the dilution ratios and off label dilution ratios. You can check it out and download it for free if you like it. 💪
Hey, how’s it going Did you ever get around of testing the e-z shine and the car shine with the bead maker?  And also, can you make a comparison of zap it and muscle magic because supposedly muscle Magic can remove all the stains that can remove as well at the cheaper price
Not yet but I hope to in the future!! Muscle Magic will definitely remove a lot of stains especially organic and oil based stains just be careful because it is caustic and can harm some surfaces
@flixproduction6875 personally I would pretty much always use Zap-it on interior fabric and carpets over muscle Magic. I don’t use degreasers inside a vehicle unless it is a grease stain. But technically yes if diluted properly it can clean interior and remove some stains but zap-it is far better at stain removal and cleaning upholstery and carpets overall
Hello Jamie, I was having a difficult time finding a soap that worked on my rental equipment and fleet vehicles. My oreilly salesmen recommend road warrior ,that stuff is legit, we get it in 55 gallon drums from them. I also use black scorpion from stinger chemicals on the diesel engines. That stuff will take paint off😂
That is pretty awesome! An O'Reilly's worker that knows about SP 🤯😝😅 that's honestly a crazy little story. I started getting into fleet detailing right away with my business. My neighbor has a small trucking company and he was actually my first paying client. I was looking for a soap to help speed up the pre-soak process and came across Superior Products YT Channel and their soaps video. It was one of the product that got me ordering a ton more from them at O'Reilly's. That and Dark Fury. I will definitely checkout black scorpion for diesel engines! Thanks a ton for the tip 🙌
@jamiesdetailing they do have some knowledgeable people sometimes, especially when you have a fleet/commercial account 👍🏻 I started using SP on my personal vehicles, and I love to use aqua gloss on my tires. As for dark fury, that stuff just works 💪
@jamiesdetailing I took no offense with what you said,we've all had that experience at auto parts stores ✌🏻 Keep up with the awesome content, and I will be subscribing
Resources page on my website! Link is in the description! It’s the huge list of detailing supplies and resources page link. Jamiesdetailing.com/resources
Yeah bro you helped push me over the edge to buy into superior products. Just put in my first 130 dollar order. But I’ve already had a chance to try their Cover all Zap it and Cover all interior dressing and I’m already highly impressed
Just found your channel...new subscriber, and need a bit of advice. I have a well-kept older model 4WD Suburban that I use for road trips and photo excursions. I had the exterior painted with bedliner paint several years ago. Washing is done with a soft, nylon bristle brush to get in the nooks and crannies of the paint. Would something like Formula 4 work as a protectant? Because of the rough surface, wiping a polish down with a microfiber cloth will not work. Looking for something that I can spray on, rinse, and get some sort of protection.
PRO TIP- you can buy superiors wash and shine as a cheaper replacement for dirt buster. Chemically its the same, just doesnt have the scent and is about 11 a gallon
Which on of there interior dressings would you recommend that is 1. Dilutes? 2. No greasy residue 3. Maybe some shine. I’m a DIY guy. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
DIY guys are very welcome here! Aqua Gloss Diluted 3:1 will work great. It is what I use. Water based and not to shiny. I typically spray it on and buff it in with a microfiber to get a nice natural appearance. If you want more shine use more product maybe 1:1 or full strength. They sell it in 32oz and 16oz bottles at O’Reillys as well so you don’t need to get a full gallon to try it out. 👊🏾
@@jamiesdetailing Thank you for the follow up advice. I will subscribe and follow you and learn about the process of detailing. Product’s that are great value with positive results are for a guy like me.
O'Reilly's at one point also offered a sampler kit that included 6-8oz bottles of all the products in one box for a low cost so you could try all the products without buying bigger quantities. This was many years ago when I managed an Oreilly's so I'm unsure if it's still available but I would ask a sales rep in store.
I tried using formula 4 once. Either i did something wrong, or that stuff is just straight up dust magnet. Tried it at 10-1 out of a sprayer. not even a half hour after i was done there ws a substantial amount dust on my truck. Either it attracts dust hardcore, or its just cuz my truck is black. However, Tec 582 had no such reaction. Tec582 is my go to now.
Dang I haven’t had that happen yet with formula 4. But I do typically use a detail spray as a drying aid and that always help reduce and dust staying on the vehicle. Tec582 is my go to as well. Formula 4 does not always work with my current wash process since I typically use a rinseless wash for my contact wash. I prefer this method to avoid water spotting over formula 4 and it saves time doing a 2nd rinse but I left it in for people that like to do a more traditional wash process.
EZ shine vs aquagloss? Which lasts longer? I know that EZ Shine is not water based so it should last longer, right? I want to use it as a drying aide but haven't tried it yet. can EZ shine be used on interiors? Fantastic video, fantastic channel bud!
EZ-Shine is actually a water based gloss intensifier for your paint. You can use it like a quick detailer or you can use it as a drying aid when you dry your vehicle. Can also be used for clay baring. Aqua Gloss is a rubber, vinyl and plastic dressing for both interior or exterior use. Did you mean to compare 2 other products by chance? Appreciate you being here 👊🏾
@@jamiesdetailing thanks bud, I saw a superior products video that said EZ Shine leaves protection for about 5 months and that it wasn't just water based. I think they said it has carnuba and other waxes. Is that not your experience with the product?
@@jamiesdetailing You were right. Ez Shine is definitely water based and doesn't look like it leaves protection. I just used it for the first time yesterday. It's great for interior dressing when used with pink perfection. I see you have tech choice on your shelf. What do you use it for usually? I want to use it as a topper for my coatings. Thanks bud!
Im trying to figure out how to dilute dirt buster in a five gallon jug any advice?? Thank you so much for uploading this video i love superior products!
Thanks for the review of these lesser-known products, I'm definitely going to pick some of them up to try out! I've seen a lot of videos and hype about Formula 4 in a 10:1 dilution ratio as a spray on wipe off after a wash to prevent water spots. Would TEC582 1:1 work as a good alternative to Formula 4 as a drying aid to prevent water spot formations? I like the idea of F4 and how cheap it is but it doesn't seem to leave any lasting protection on the vehicle, whereas TEC582 is more expensive but protects the vehicle for a couple months.
TEC582 can be used very similarly to F4. You can use it as a rinse aid at 1:1 And yes it definitely last longer than f4. I don’t use formula 4 too much anymore because I like 582 so much better and I use a different wash method. I really only use formula 4 when I am doing a more traditional wash process. I use a rinseless wash to finish my wash process and go directly into drying with 582. If the rinseless dries on the panel, it’s not a big deal because it’s just polymer spots. Checkout my modified rinseless wash process video and you will see how I typically wash in the direct sun.
Yes but I wouldn’t put it on polished wheels, or raw aluminum wheels unless you plan to polish them right after. Most wheels from the factory are clear coated but every once and awhile you will see wheels you will need to be careful with.
I like the TEC582, and use it as a drying aid. But what I don't like about it is that it's very static cling. Everything attracts to it. do you have a solution to fix that problem? Like adding something to it? I have also found that a little goes a long way. I use it at 5:1 as a drying aid, and 8:1 as a detail type spray or finishing spray, otherwise is seems to streak or act greasy. On superior Products. I use a few of them and have also been happy overall with them.
@@KingTheDetailer those are actually just chemical guys dilution bottles with talco chemical resistant heads. I made a video on them about a month ago.
Really good content. I use Dark Fury, Formula 4 from as well. Both are excellent products that are versatile and excellent price points. Regarding waterless washes I have been using Opti Clean from Optimum care care products which is the manufacturer of the original ONR rinseless wash. Thanks!
Typically, I just put around 4 ounces in my foam cannon and call it a day 🤫 I have the proper dilution ratios on my resources page if you check out that Google Doc I mentioned. Some people also will dilute it 10:1 in a pump sprayer and that also works great as well. Jamiesdetailing.com/resources
So many apc /cleaner products. Which would you recommend for the enthusiast whose cars never get too dirty, looking to use 1 product as pre treatment for grill, wheels, lower painted panels, etc.
@@jamiesdetailing Found channel he also showed how effective it was on wheels and tires and wheel well. Seems like this and rinesless wash or soap is about all you need for exterior. Just wonder how baf is it to use if vehicle is ceramic coated.
@@thestreamreader dark fury is safe for ceramic coatings and will actually help revive a clogged coating if you do an acid wash after your pre-rinse with Dark Fury. Now I’m not saying to do this every time you wash your personal vehicle or for a weekly maintenance wash but as a business it is highly effective and safe for your regular details.
You pretty much just spray fire power down as a pre-spotter and then use zap it as your normal stain remover. Scrub it with your drill, brush and extract or dry as normal.
@@jamiesdetailing oooh I see, so I’ve seen videos. Where they used zap it on everything interior wise. So are they both apc and a degreaser? What’s the off label use? Or do you have a video. Or did I just give you a topic for a future video 😉 😂
@@jamiesdetailing it comes with a spray trigger on it and the bottles say “cover all” , they still say “superior products dark fury formerly known as rage” but they look different then regular superior bottles and the directions don’t say anything about diluting
Ok so looking at the questions and answers section under the product on Oreillys website it says these cover all bottles are prediluted at 4:1….if I like it I’ll have to just order a gallon and have it shipped to the store next time
Squeeze bottles are from Amazon!! Work great for waxes, soaps, and dressings I will make sure to update the resources page with them if they are not already on there.
Didn't see them on the resource page also I thought i was subscribed to you as I've been watching your videos for a while however somehow I wasn't. Not sure what happened there but keep posting that good stuff man!
At this point I should probably do a video on the bottles since I always get questions on them 😂 I actually made some simple logos for the CG dilution bottles. Shoot me an email and I will try to keep you updated when I drop the free files!
Hi Jamie! Super informative and honestly one of the most helpful videos out there. I have a question however, do you use any pump sprayers? If so what do you typically use them for? Thanks!
Thanks a ton for the feedback! Appreciate you checking out the video. I actually did a video on the iK pump sprayers you might find informative. I typically use pump sprayers for waterless wash, wheel cleaner and APC
I made them in photoshop super quick! Copied the CG logos and sizing then printed them on the inkjet. I will probably have my T-shirt guy make vinyl ones next time since these ones faded.
@@jamiesdetailing awesome thanks...I could definitely use ones just like that and just put my business logo in the circle...do you have the blank PSD file? maybe either offer it for sale on your site or for download?
@DiamondPaintWithDiamondDave I think I could do that!! Free sounds good! I am no Photoshop expert 😅 I will keep you posted Shoot me a dm on IG,fb or the business phone so I have your info
I have used Dark Fury and you’re right it’s a great product, will use the other products you mentioned. Also where did you get those round bottle with the writable labels?
Those are actually on my website on the resource page link is in the description. But they are chemical guys dilution bottles I just didn’t like the original logos so I made some basic labels for myself at home. Love the shape and size of them though
Road warrior is actually PH neutral. Pretty sure I had that wrong in the video 🤦🏽♂️ So technically it should not remove waxes. I have noticed the paint still reacting to water after I’m done using road warrior so I don’t think it does but to be honest I’m typically reapplying some type of protection right after my contact wash and usually don’t pay too much attention to how the paint is reacting when using Road warrior I just know it cleans really good 😅. Dilution ratios are on my resources page. It is a google docs link. All the products I use along with dilution ratios and off label dilution ratios are on it including the ones for Road Warrior. Link is in the description
You most definitely can use them full strength directly in the reservoir however you would need to know what your low pressure injector dilutes the product in your reservoir to. For instance most basic injectors might do something like 50:1 or 100:1 or 150:1 so acid and dark fury might be hard to use in a reservoir because it dilutes the product to much. Most soaps will be fine but you will need to know your dilution ratio of your injector/ reservoir first. You can figure that out yourself by filling your reservoir with water then see how many gallons of water comes out of the hose by the time the reservoir is empty. Then do your calculation to get your injector dilution ratio. Then you would need to technically dilute the product in the reservoir to have the appropriate dilution to come out of the gun at the correct ratio. You could do some research into down stream injectors to get a better sense of the calculations needed. You can checkout some pressure washing channels they are actually pretty good at explaining that type of stuff. They typically dilute bleach in a bucket to get the proper dilution out of their downstream injectors or x-jets
Dark Fury will get it done but Bugz Be Gone is a dedicated bug remover. Bugz Be Gone from my experience is better at removing bugs. Usually you just spray it directly on. Then I go about my normal prewash process and power wash it off. Most bugs will come right off and if you have to scrub Bugz Be Gone is really soapy and slick when using a bug sponge. It’s probably worth trying but if you have dark fury you’re probably good without it. I work on Semi trucks often and use Bugz Be Gone All the time on fleet vehicles but I don’t see my normal passenger vehicles with that many bugs so I typically just use Dark Fury unless it’s excessively covered in bugs like on the front of Semi trucks.
Honestly they are both very comparable if you are using them as a rinse aid. If you’re using bead maker and spraying it on a dry surface at the end of your detail then I think you would get a little more longevity out of it but nothing substantial. When it comes to ceramic coatings, most manufacturers will probably tell you not to use anything on top of them however, I know we’re all looking for a little bit more gloss so just be aware that if you are using toppers on a ceramic coating that you may need to Strip wash/rejuvenate that coating much more frequently. When it comes to my personal vehicle, I love using toppers and use EZ-Shine Often and it looks and smells great when I’m finished. Another one I like that is great with most ceramic coatings is Tech 582.
Yes 1:1 and it is a great iron remover. Smells terrible like most others but very concentrated and effective. Turns very deep purple when it reacts with the iron particles like it should. Some other iron removers I have used do not have as much of a color reaction so I have to guess (I’m not a chemist 😅) that superior products Purple X is very concentrated compared to the ready to use stuff from everyone else. Pull the trigger and try it out next time you need to order iron remover
I’ve seen a couple videos and it’s just a product placement for Superior Products. Don’t care how good or cheap it is. I would like to see some different companies for comparison
I definitely hope to do some comparisons with other brands in the future! However, Product placement implies I get paid by superior products. I do not. I actually don’t even get paid commission on Amazon sales since they don’t sell on Amazon. So I have zero incentive to push SP other than they do what they are supposed to and these are the products I chose to go with for my business.
Show Car Shine is similar to Bead Maker however it probably won’t have the same longevity of bead maker (just a guess). EZ shine is more like Paint gloss. It is mostly just a gloss intensifier. I have never done a direct side by side comparison of P&S bead maker to any of SPs spray waxes but now you are peaking my interest. I might have to grab a bottle of P&S and compare them.
Griot’s Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax is not as shiny as some others but its durability is supernaturally good. Not to mention it retains its hydrophobic properties freakishly long. I highly recommend it. 😊😊😊
I just made my own labels for my bottles and printed them at home. I use chemical guy’s dilution bottles but hate their logo so I copied their logo and stuck them on their bottles. Totally trolling them with that 😅
You can also talk to a local printer and have them print up some nicer vinyl stickers for you that are more waterproof. They can help with the design and sizing as well. I will be doing this soon since my original stickers faded somewhat quickly.
@@jamiesdetailing thank you man i appreciate it I was wondering what bottles you got too so thank you for letting me know. I am starting up a detailing business on the side and you are the only guy I can find who uses all of superior products such good deals and really have the quality even more then those higher priced brands. Also what bottles do u use for soaps and conditioners?
Dirt buster is their contact specific soap! Great for hand and brush washing. Cherry foam is more for the foam cannon but can be used in a bucket as well. Both are great but dirt buster is a little better at pulling off dirt just not as foamy out of a cannon.
O no I always hear horror stories of this at different store locations. Luckily mine is pretty familiar with ordering in store and how to order online. In the search bar at O’Reillys website type in “SCP F78” SCP is Superior products Distributor code and F78 is the product code for Aqua Gloss. If you go in store you can give them that info if they are unfamiliar. It also might look up better on their end if you tell them “Cover All” but try the product codes first
I totally would, but honestly it would probably make more sense to get the sample pack from O’Reillys or order some 16 ounce bottles of the products you want from O’Reillys. By the time I get bottles and all that it would be probably about the same price after shipping.
I would say 2-4 weeks. Other people have told me it can last months but that hasn’t been my experience with it and I wash my personal vehicles pretty often so I’m not to concerned with durability/longevity of EZ-Shine but I do like it alot
Oh okay that’s really good. Right now I have a year ceramic spray coating on but I’m looking for something to put on after washes to give it a boost and came across ez shine
EZ-Shine will definitely be a good candidate for you! It is great because it is super glossy, hydrophobic, and repels dust so your vehicle will stay cleaner a little longer. I typically use it 1:1 for a quick mid week wipe down as well.
Shhh, let's not talk about them. They're going to become the Carhartt of the detailing industry.
Superior has been around for years. Their main market had been car washes. You can buy 50gal drums of their stuff in their website. I think it’s good they’re trying to offer their products to details and diy’ers.

Appreciate you my man 👊🏽
As a gloss intensifier, IMO, E-Z Shine is comparable to a boutique brand and the manufacturer doesn't make untenable claims regarding its longevity. I appreciate an honest company. Truly impressive look. Easy to work with. I use it undiluted. Better than, say, Ethos Resist at a fraction of the cost.
As long as we're talking about Superior, their Non-acid Cleaner may be my favorite APC. Fantastic at 4:1. Aqua Gloss is an interesting product, too. Very nice on interiors at 3:1. Surprisingly so. A deep look with a factory-like hint of a sheen. Love it on tires, undiluted, with a very short dwell time before leveling or 1:1 with a longer dwell. Enjoyed the video.
I’m not a pro detailer but I do keep a lot of products on hand and just recently got into the superior products - first one added to my arsenal is Dark Fury. I appreciate all these detailer videos!
@@rdhug I definitely think you will love Dark Fury! It is one on my favorite products

Keep the content coming! Superior products are such an efficient product for us detailers. Honeslty you've done a great job explaining some products that aren't maybe mainstream because people haven't talked about them in their line.
Seriously thanks for the kind words my man! I really appreciate the support. They definitely have an awesome lineup of products.
If there is anything you want to see a demo or tutorial on feel free to share it and I will add it to my video list 👊🏾
Also superior products like it that way , they don't want a lot of spotlight , it's the way they keep the cost down for those who do buy It according to them that is. You don't really see superior commercials like you do the rest of the industry
@@KingTheDetailer This is very true! I'm thankful for the people that do go over some of their products to have an idea what application I can use them for.
6:50 the advice I needed.
Love your enthusiasm
JAMIE! It would be AMAZING if you would do a wash using your product lineup in order of how you would wash a vehicle. I’m interested in what order & which Superior products you recommend using to do a maintenance wash, dry & protection. What you recommend using if you haven’t had any paint protection applied & what you recommend if you have had paint protection applied. Lastly, what you recommend to use for those colder months where you don’t or can’t drag out your pressure washer to do a proper wash. Doing video on a Model 3 would be ideal (the car I own, lol).
Hey I might be able to do something like that for you! I don’t know if I will have a model 3 available for it but the process would be the same. Definitely stay posted for future videos!
@ That would be awesome. You say you don’t do bucket washes really anymore, so, what is it that you do? Rinseless? If you’ve gone over this in your videos & I missed it would you post link to what your preferred method is currently?
Lastly, I have a couple questions. I’ve used Gyeon Foam which is a prewash that starts at ph 14 & drops after you let it sit & rinse it off is there a Superior product you recommend that could do the same job? Second question, & this may be a stupid idea since I’ve never seen anyone do it or suggest it, but, if you do prewash with a foam product that breaks down organics & rinse off the larger dirt followed with an APC in a foam cannon can you do a contact wash using the foam that is on the car? My issue is that only way I can get dirt off the car is with contact wash which I’d rather not do.
@skeyhani9755 hey if you checkout my video on my “modified rinseless wash method that is basically what I do for most vehicles. My 2 favorite prewashes are 2oz Muscle Magic with cherry foam or Dirt buster, or I just use road warrior which is a neutral presoak/soap. I also spot treat any bugs or heavy road grime with Dark Fury.
It will all depend on the vehicle though sometimes I just use dark fury and go straight to my contact wash. If you have a good prewash your contact wash will be super safe and if I am foaming the car for the contact wash I just foam and wash rinsing my wash media after each panel or so.
@skeyhani9755 second question APC breaks down organics so I would use them together on the same step to save time. Otherwise you are basically dojng a contact wash with APC and I typically would avoid this. Every vehicle will be different and sometimes you will be able to take shortcuts like if the paint is already in need of a correction you won’t really need to be so careful.
For instance the other day I cleaned a 87 corvette with trashed paint. It didn’t need a presoak since it is a garage queen so I just went straight into a contact wash using my APC and Soap in a foam cannon.
Sorry for the long replies I hope you got something from this 😅
Great tips for beginners. Awesome!!!
I really love your channel bro! So informative without shilling for sponsors.
I used the tech choice to prevent water spots on my wife's car and on a charity wash for my neighbor. I use adam's graphene boost for my truck. My wife's Rav4 is white and my 4Runner is white. The tech choice is definitely has a warmer look, almost like carnuba. I am officially on love. Great info. What is your tech choice dilution ratio?
F30 wheel acid followed up with Dark Fury is an absolute miracle worker. It ripped 5 years worth of baked on brake dust like it was nothing. Absolutely unbelievable. I used the superior leather lotion on my seats and interior. It's phenomenal. I don't know how pros use anything but superior products if they are working with cars that are not high end.
I wish you all the luck in the world bro. I'll spread the word on your channel and I can't wait to see you blow up in a good way! Keep putting out content and your channel will get big in no time. Salute bro!
I like road warrior 10:1 and 2-3oz of cherry foam in my foam cannon for a pre soak then dirt buster in my bucket for a contact wash
You are on it!!! 💪 sounds like you got a dope process down with all 3 products. I use them the same but typical put 2-4oz of road warrior in a foam cannon! Will definitely be trying out 10:1 for a pre-soak
@@jamiesdetailinghow many ounces is your foam cannon ?
Mixing Dirt Buster with Road Warrior and Cherry foam in the Foam Cannon does wonders!!!

I love the cover all tire dressing from superior products.. " the true blue" i use that in my arsenal for trim and under carriage for big trucks
Jamie this was one of my first videos I saw of yours. Your testing and recommendation had me getting a gallon of it. I use this on my heavy equipment and my truck and I’ve been very happy with it. These obviously aren’t show vehicles. But everyone I run into say how nice my equipment looks. Thank you for the recommendation.
Jamie, I picked up some Dark Fury as well. At 4 to 1 it takes the diesel dirt off perfectly. Thanks again.
@shooterjohn7163 it is definitely a great product! I use it all the time on Semis and it strips everything off real nice!
@@jamiesdetailing yes it does and diesel and burnt diesel are just a grimy mess normally. I’m taking some over to a friend’s place to put on his helicopter. Not only does he get burnt kerosene on it where the rotor drives the kerosene down on it. But that thing is a bug magnet because of the altitude he flies and the big windows or bubble smears up.
@shooterjohn7163 keep me updated on that that sounds super interesting! I’m definitely trying to get into Private Airplanes and Helicopters myself.
@@jamiesdetailing will do.
I've seen folks talk about Formula 4, you're the first to talk about using other waxes from Superior Products. Thank you!
I use the formula 4 on almost every vehicle even If I’m gonna put protection on, it just makes drying so much easier on a vehicle that doesn’t have any hydrophobics
I was just thinking of getting waterless wash an wax, so glad you included it. I’m grabbing it
I definitely think you will enjoy SPs waterless wash! Not as versatile as other rinseless washes that you can typically mix up as a quick detailer or waterless wash but it is a far better dedicated waterless wash. Really really slick and leaves a nice finish.
@@jamiesdetailing bro thank you for the thorough review, because I couldn’t find anything on it from someone’s personal opinion. You’re awesome for putting superior products on game to this detail TH-cam community. They need to know its way better profitable options for business products that are professional grade. An I’m so excited that the waterless wash is slick and dilutable.
If I wanted to start and get only 5 gallons of products, what do you recommend for each category?
1.) Apc
2.) Rinseless Wash
3.) Water based dressing (int & ext)
4.) Detail spray/drying aid (Ceramic based)
5.) Car soap
I meant what specific product would you recommend for each category, If you had to choose 1 per category?..
Thanks a ton for the question. I’m actually going to use this comment for a future video. 👌🏽
Pink perfection
McKees N914
Aqua Gloss
Tec 582
Dirt Buster
@@jamiesdetailing Right on, can't wait!
Superior products for the win ! I swapped to all their chemicals now for our mobile unit!
What about putting the spray wax in your pressure washer that has a soap dispenser?
Foam cannon mix in thirds. Dark fury, muscle magic and road warrior. Pre wash. Whoa 😮
Thank u for the information. I detail friends and family cars on the side these products will save me so much time with great results
Nice explanation. Thanks. Love their products.
Love me some road warrior/fire power for road film,grime on paint. Also pink perfection for interior
I have not tried fire power on paint yet! Might have to do that just out of curiosity!
You’re quite the salesman! Now I need to go try all their stuff. I thought they only made Dark Fury and Formula 4! I hadn’t heard of all their other products.
Could make a list of all the Superior products, dilution ratios and what you clean at that ratio?
I actually have something similar on my website on the resources page. It is a google docs page with all the products I use for my business and all the dilution ratios and off label dilution ratios. You can check it out and download it for free if you like it. 💪
How Can I gain a copy of the ratio book please
On my website on the resources page. Link is in the description
Hey, how’s it going Did you ever get around of testing the e-z shine and the car shine with the bead maker? 
And also, can you make a comparison of zap it and muscle magic because supposedly muscle Magic can remove all the stains that can remove as well at the cheaper price
Not yet but I hope to in the future!! Muscle Magic will definitely remove a lot of stains especially organic and oil based stains just be careful because it is caustic and can harm some surfaces
@jamiesdetailing does that mean that if you dilute it the right way you don't need Zap IT?
@flixproduction6875 personally I would pretty much always use Zap-it on interior fabric and carpets over muscle Magic. I don’t use degreasers inside a vehicle unless it is a grease stain. But technically yes if diluted properly it can clean interior and remove some stains but zap-it is far better at stain removal and cleaning upholstery and carpets overall
@@jamiesdetailing got now I understand what you think about chem-X and Wash chems?
@flixproduction6875 I have seen products from both brands and they both look awesome. I just haven’t made a point to check them out yet
technicians choice tec582 for a topper/drying aid is my choice
Does the muscle magic mix with soap strip the wax off the car
Depending on how much you put in your foam cannon yes it will definitely strip wax.
Hello Jamie, I was having a difficult time finding a soap that worked on my rental equipment and fleet vehicles. My oreilly salesmen recommend road warrior ,that stuff is legit, we get it in 55 gallon drums from them.
I also use black scorpion from stinger chemicals on the diesel engines. That stuff will take paint off😂
That is pretty awesome! An O'Reilly's worker that knows about SP 🤯😝😅 that's honestly a crazy little story.
I started getting into fleet detailing right away with my business. My neighbor has a small trucking company and he was actually my first paying client. I was looking for a soap to help speed up the pre-soak process and came across Superior Products YT Channel and their soaps video. It was one of the product that got me ordering a ton more from them at O'Reilly's. That and Dark Fury.
I will definitely checkout black scorpion for diesel engines! Thanks a ton for the tip 🙌
@jamiesdetailing they do have some knowledgeable people sometimes, especially when you have a fleet/commercial account 👍🏻
I started using SP on my personal vehicles, and I love to use aqua gloss on my tires. As for dark fury, that stuff just works 💪
@NovemberMan69 I'm just joking 🤪 glad you found some good chemicals
@jamiesdetailing I took no offense with what you said,we've all had that experience at auto parts stores ✌🏻

Appreciate you checking out the video 👊🏾
I believe Superior says Dark Fury will stain if left for too long. But definitely good stuff.
Yes they do but anything 10:1 or more diluted should be pretty safe. I typically do not let anything dry on the surface when washing
Just thought I’d bring it up. I love Dark Fury but have to be cautious with it. Definitely no drying. 👍👍 solid videos man
Thanks Jaime for the content. This is gold..
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Acid on tires, interesting
Thank you so much for this video and many of your others!
Just found your channel...new subscriber, and need a bit of advice. I have a well-kept older model 4WD Suburban that I use for road trips and photo excursions. I had the exterior painted with bedliner paint several years ago. Washing is done with a soft, nylon bristle brush to get in the nooks and crannies of the paint. Would something like Formula 4 work as a protectant? Because of the rough surface, wiping a polish down with a microfiber cloth will not work. Looking for something that I can spray on, rinse, and get some sort of protection.
PRO TIP- you can buy superiors wash and shine as a cheaper replacement for dirt buster. Chemically its the same, just doesnt have the scent and is about 11 a gallon
Which on of there interior dressings would you recommend that is 1. Dilutes? 2. No greasy residue 3. Maybe some shine. I’m a DIY guy. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
DIY guys are very welcome here! Aqua Gloss Diluted 3:1 will work great. It is what I use. Water based and not to shiny. I typically spray it on and buff it in with a microfiber to get a nice natural appearance. If you want more shine use more product maybe 1:1 or full strength. They sell it in 32oz and 16oz bottles at O’Reillys as well so you don’t need to get a full gallon to try it out. 👊🏾
@@jamiesdetailing Thank you for the follow up advice. I will subscribe and follow you and learn about the process of detailing. Product’s that are great value with positive results are for a guy like me.
O'Reilly's at one point also offered a sampler kit that included 6-8oz bottles of all the products in one box for a low cost so you could try all the products without buying bigger quantities. This was many years ago when I managed an Oreilly's so I'm unsure if it's still available but I would ask a sales rep in store.
They still have that kit!! A01 is the product code at O’Reillys
GREAT video! Subscribed
👊🏽
I tried using formula 4 once. Either i did something wrong, or that stuff is just straight up dust magnet. Tried it at 10-1 out of a sprayer. not even a half hour after i was done there ws a substantial amount dust on my truck. Either it attracts dust hardcore, or its just cuz my truck is black. However, Tec 582 had no such reaction. Tec582 is my go to now.
Dang I haven’t had that happen yet with formula 4. But I do typically use a detail spray as a drying aid and that always help reduce and dust staying on the vehicle. Tec582 is my go to as well.
Formula 4 does not always work with my current wash process since I typically use a rinseless wash for my contact wash. I prefer this method to avoid water spotting over formula 4 and it saves time doing a 2nd rinse but I left it in for people that like to do a more traditional wash process.
EZ shine vs aquagloss? Which lasts longer? I know that EZ Shine is not water based so it should last longer, right? I want to use it as a drying aide but haven't tried it yet. can EZ shine be used on interiors?
Fantastic video, fantastic channel bud!
EZ-Shine is actually a water based gloss intensifier for your paint. You can use it like a quick detailer or you can use it as a drying aid when you dry your vehicle. Can also be used for clay baring.
Aqua Gloss is a rubber, vinyl and plastic dressing for both interior or exterior use.
Did you mean to compare 2 other products by chance? Appreciate you being here 👊🏾
@@jamiesdetailing thanks bud, I saw a superior products video that said EZ Shine leaves protection for about 5 months and that it wasn't just water based. I think they said it has carnuba and other waxes. Is that not your experience with the product?
@@jamiesdetailing You were right. Ez Shine is definitely water based and doesn't look like it leaves protection. I just used it for the first time yesterday. It's great for interior dressing when used with pink perfection.
I see you have tech choice on your shelf. What do you use it for usually? I want to use it as a topper for my coatings. Thanks bud!
Just discovered you. Sub'd and logged on your website, which is very helpful. Thank you!
Great video
Thanks for checking it out!
God bless you bro, Jesus loves you so much!!
AMAZING VIDEO! Very helpful! Thanks for your time and knowledge you shared.
Im trying to figure out how to dilute dirt buster in a five gallon jug any advice?? Thank you so much for uploading this video i love superior products!
On board with Superior 99.9% and finish with Tec 582 = 100%
It’s a killer process 👊🏽
Thanks for the review of these lesser-known products, I'm definitely going to pick some of them up to try out! I've seen a lot of videos and hype about Formula 4 in a 10:1 dilution ratio as a spray on wipe off after a wash to prevent water spots. Would TEC582 1:1 work as a good alternative to Formula 4 as a drying aid to prevent water spot formations? I like the idea of F4 and how cheap it is but it doesn't seem to leave any lasting protection on the vehicle, whereas TEC582 is more expensive but protects the vehicle for a couple months.
TEC582 can be used very similarly to F4. You can use it as a rinse aid at 1:1 And yes it definitely last longer than f4. I don’t use formula 4 too much anymore because I like 582 so much better and I use a different wash method. I really only use formula 4 when I am doing a more traditional wash process. I use a rinseless wash to finish my wash process and go directly into drying with 582. If the rinseless dries on the panel, it’s not a big deal because it’s just polymer spots. Checkout my modified rinseless wash process video and you will see how I typically wash in the direct sun.
@@jamiesdetailing For sure I'll give that video a watch thank you!
Can muscle magic be used on factory wheels
Yes but I wouldn’t put it on polished wheels, or raw aluminum wheels unless you plan to polish them right after. Most wheels from the factory are clear coated but every once and awhile you will see wheels you will need to be careful with.
@@jamiesdetailing thank you for your response. Good looking out 💪
@@jamiesdetailing can muscle magic be used the same as dark fury
I have a question, what about Liquid Pearl from Superior ? Can u tell me about that' one please. Great video by the way.
I like the TEC582, and use it as a drying aid. But what I don't like about it is that it's very static cling. Everything attracts to it. do you have a solution to fix that problem? Like adding something to it? I have also found that a little goes a long way. I use it at 5:1 as a drying aid, and 8:1 as a detail type spray or finishing spray, otherwise is seems to streak or act greasy.
On superior Products. I use a few of them and have also been happy overall with them.
What bottle are those your using with the gray trigger
@@KingTheDetailer those are actually just chemical guys dilution bottles with talco chemical resistant heads. I made a video on them about a month ago.
@@jamiesdetailing thank you
Really good content. I use Dark Fury, Formula 4 from as well. Both are excellent products that are versatile and excellent price points. Regarding waterless washes I have been using Opti Clean from Optimum care care products which is the manufacturer of the original ONR rinseless wash. Thanks!
Where do you buy these in the UK ?
What ratio do you use with the Road Warrior in a foam cannon?
Typically, I just put around 4 ounces in my foam cannon and call it a day 🤫 I have the proper dilution ratios on my resources page if you check out that Google Doc I mentioned. Some people also will dilute it 10:1 in a pump sprayer and that also works great as well.
Jamiesdetailing.com/resources
Awesome video like always. Hey Jamie I cannot find the sprayer you use to do tires and wheel wells. Can you send the name and or link
Absolutely the main one I use is the IK Foam Pro 2+ and I also use the standard ones with no valve.
amzn.to/3XLXbr2
So many apc /cleaner products. Which would you recommend for the enthusiast whose cars never get too dirty, looking to use 1 product as pre treatment for grill, wheels, lower painted panels, etc.
I would probably recommend Pink Perfection. You can use it for everything you just mentioned and it works great as an interior cleaner too.
Another channel using dark fury 10:1 for the whole car ;) - Said saves time and money. He tested it drying on paint and didn't hurt the paint at all.
Yes!! Dark Fury is a crazy good product for pre-soaking. Makes your contact wash so much faster and safer!
@@jamiesdetailing Found channel he also showed how effective it was on wheels and tires and wheel well. Seems like this and rinesless wash or soap is about all you need for exterior. Just wonder how baf is it to use if vehicle is ceramic coated.
@@thestreamreader dark fury is safe for ceramic coatings and will actually help revive a clogged coating if you do an acid wash after your pre-rinse with Dark Fury. Now I’m not saying to do this every time you wash your personal vehicle or for a weekly maintenance wash but as a business it is highly effective and safe for your regular details.
Have you used any other brands now 5 mos later
Thanks for your videos. What would be the difference between using Road Warrior and you mixing the Cherry Foam/Dirt Buster and the Muscle Magic?
Thanks bro 😎, they say zap it and fire power is a good combo. How do you use it as a combo?
You pretty much just spray fire power down as a pre-spotter and then use zap it as your normal stain remover. Scrub it with your drill, brush and extract or dry as normal.
@@jamiesdetailing oooh I see, so I’ve seen videos. Where they used zap it on everything interior wise. So are they both apc and a degreaser? What’s the off label use? Or do you have a video. Or did I just give you a topic for a future video 😉 😂
Do you know if the 32 oz “cover all” bottles of dark fury that they sell at Oreillys are pre-diluted ready to use ?
I'm almost 99% sure it is still a concentrate in the 32oz bottle. I have never bought the 32 ounce bottle but I do not think they would dilute it.
@@jamiesdetailing it comes with a spray trigger on it and the bottles say “cover all” , they still say “superior products dark fury formerly known as rage” but they look different then regular superior bottles and the directions don’t say anything about diluting
It’s all they sell at the oreillys near me it’s $7.99 for 32 oz so I bought it I’ve never tried any superior products
Ok so looking at the questions and answers section under the product on Oreillys website it says these cover all bottles are prediluted at 4:1….if I like it I’ll have to just order a gallon and have it shipped to the store next time
That is not a terrible deal for ready to use with a bottle. Definitely let me know how you like it!
Awesome video!!
Can you use this stuff on ceramic coating vehicles ✌️🇨🇦
Yes absolutely! All are good with coatings!

At this point I should probably do a video on the bottles since I always get questions on them 😂 I actually made some simple logos for the CG dilution bottles. Shoot me an email and I will try to keep you updated when I drop the free files!
Have you used cherry foam and dark fury mixed together?
I have it works great as a pre-soak 👌🏾
Hi Jamie! Super informative and honestly one of the most helpful videos out there. I have a question however, do you use any pump sprayers? If so what do you typically use them for? Thanks!

@@jamiesdetailing Thanks just bought a couple of stuff on amazon.
How much do you dilute road warrior? Do you remove waxes?
Road warrior is actually PH neutral. Pretty sure I had that wrong in the video 🤦🏽♂️ So technically it should not remove waxes. I have noticed the paint still reacting to water after I’m done using road warrior so I don’t think it does but to be honest I’m typically reapplying some type of protection right after my contact wash and usually don’t pay too much attention to how the paint is reacting when using Road warrior I just know it cleans really good 😅.
Dilution ratios are on my resources page. It is a google docs link. All the products I use along with dilution ratios and off label dilution ratios are on it including the ones for Road Warrior. Link is in the description
Hello
I was curious do you know the pH level of dark fury
I believe it is right around 13 it should be in my dilution ratio book on my resources page 😉
What about using in the soap reservoir on a pressure washer?
You most definitely can use them full strength directly in the reservoir however you would need to know what your low pressure injector dilutes the product in your reservoir to. For instance most basic injectors might do something like 50:1 or 100:1 or 150:1 so acid and dark fury might be hard to use in a reservoir because it dilutes the product to much. Most soaps will be fine but you will need to know your dilution ratio of your injector/ reservoir first.
You can figure that out yourself by filling your reservoir with water then see how many gallons of water comes out of the hose by the time the reservoir is empty. Then do your calculation to get your injector dilution ratio. Then you would need to technically dilute the product in the reservoir to have the appropriate dilution to come out of the gun at the correct ratio.
You could do some research into down stream injectors to get a better sense of the calculations needed. You can checkout some pressure washing channels they are actually pretty good at explaining that type of stuff. They typically dilute bleach in a bucket to get the proper dilution out of their downstream injectors or x-jets
Excellent review
Hey one more thing which is better just for bugs? Dark Fury or bugs be gone?
Dark Fury will get it done but Bugz Be Gone is a dedicated bug remover. Bugz Be Gone from my experience is better at removing bugs. Usually you just spray it directly on. Then I go about my normal prewash process and power wash it off. Most bugs will come right off and if you have to scrub Bugz Be Gone is really soapy and slick when using a bug sponge. It’s probably worth trying but if you have dark fury you’re probably good without it.
I work on Semi trucks often and use Bugz Be Gone All the time on fleet vehicles but I don’t see my normal passenger vehicles with that many bugs so I typically just use Dark Fury unless it’s excessively covered in bugs like on the front of Semi trucks.
Is the dark fury safe on black gloss wheels?
Yes safe on all clear coated wheels
Subbed ... Thanks for your info
Do u think formula 1 is better than P&S bead maker ? And do u think e-z shine is the best to put on after a ceramic coating?
Honestly they are both very comparable if you are using them as a rinse aid. If you’re using bead maker and spraying it on a dry surface at the end of your detail then I think you would get a little more longevity out of it but nothing substantial.
When it comes to ceramic coatings, most manufacturers will probably tell you not to use anything on top of them however, I know we’re all looking for a little bit more gloss so just be aware that if you are using toppers on a ceramic coating that you may need to Strip wash/rejuvenate that coating much more frequently. When it comes to my personal vehicle, I love using toppers and use EZ-Shine Often and it looks and smells great when I’m finished. Another one I like that is great with most ceramic coatings is Tech 582.
I’m wanting to try their purple x, what do you dilute it to? 1:1?
Yes 1:1 and it is a great iron remover. Smells terrible like most others but very concentrated and effective. Turns very deep purple when it reacts with the iron particles like it should.
Some other iron removers I have used do not have as much of a color reaction so I have to guess (I’m not a chemist 😅) that superior products Purple X is very concentrated compared to the ready to use stuff from everyone else.
Pull the trigger and try it out next time you need to order iron remover
just got 10 gallons of different solution to try so far dark fury and formula4 is doing it
Sorry last question! Does cutting it 1:1 make it lose a lot of gloss? Cuz I love gloss lol
It does a little! I typically use it full strength
I’ve seen a couple videos and it’s just a product placement for Superior Products. Don’t care how good or cheap it is. I would like to see some different companies for comparison
I definitely hope to do some comparisons with other brands in the future! However, Product placement implies I get paid by superior products. I do not. I actually don’t even get paid commission on Amazon sales since they don’t sell on Amazon. So I have zero incentive to push SP other than they do what they are supposed to and these are the products I chose to go with for my business.
The company I work for detailing cars uses Superior Products for 90% of everything. They are very good and would recommend for sure!
I have a question so I use P&S bead maker and I love that product. Is there a product that works the same as that from superior
Show Car Shine is similar to Bead Maker however it probably won’t have the same longevity of bead maker (just a guess). EZ shine is more like Paint gloss. It is mostly just a gloss intensifier.
I have never done a direct side by side comparison of P&S bead maker to any of SPs spray waxes but now you are peaking my interest. I might have to grab a bottle of P&S and compare them.
Griot’s Garage Ceramic 3-in-1 Wax is not as shiny as some others but its durability is supernaturally good. Not to mention it retains its hydrophobic properties freakishly long. I highly recommend it.

@@jamiesdetailing that would be nice if you can do that and it would be very helpful
@@Reaper-Jim thanks I’ll give it a try and see
What website did u get the custom bottles
I just made my own labels for my bottles and printed them at home. I use chemical guy’s dilution bottles but hate their logo so I copied their logo and stuck them on their bottles. Totally trolling them with that 😅
You can also talk to a local printer and have them print up some nicer vinyl stickers for you that are more waterproof. They can help with the design and sizing as well. I will be doing this soon since my original stickers faded somewhat quickly.
@@jamiesdetailing thank you man i appreciate it I was wondering what bottles you got too so thank you for letting me know. I am starting up a detailing business on the side and you are the only guy I can find who uses all of superior products such good deals and really have the quality even more then those higher priced brands. Also what bottles do u use for soaps and conditioners?
What two soaps are good for contact washes when using a foam gun and bucket wash ? Starting with a pre wash
Dirt buster is their contact specific soap! Great for hand and brush washing. Cherry foam is more for the foam cannon but can be used in a bucket as well. Both are great but dirt buster is a little better at pulling off dirt just not as foamy out of a cannon.
Went to my local oreillys. asked to order a gallon of aqua gloss, got told it doesnt exist... went to find it on the website... no luck.
O no I always hear horror stories of this at different store locations. Luckily mine is pretty familiar with ordering in store and how to order online.
In the search bar at O’Reillys website type in “SCP F78”
SCP is Superior products Distributor code and F78 is the product code for Aqua Gloss. If you go in store you can give them that info if they are unfamiliar. It also might look up better on their end if you tell them “Cover All” but try the product codes first
@@jamiesdetailing awesome ill give it a shot when I make a run later today.
thanks in advance
Anytime!
would you be willing to sell a small bottle of any of the products for me to test?
I totally would, but honestly it would probably make more sense to get the sample pack from O’Reillys or order some 16 ounce bottles of the products you want from O’Reillys. By the time I get bottles and all that it would be probably about the same price after shipping.
How long would you say ez shine lasts?
I would say 2-4 weeks. Other people have told me it can last months but that hasn’t been my experience with it and I wash my personal vehicles pretty often so I’m not to concerned with durability/longevity of EZ-Shine but I do like it alot
Oh okay that’s really good. Right now I have a year ceramic spray coating on but I’m looking for something to put on after washes to give it a boost and came across ez shine
EZ-Shine will definitely be a good candidate for you! It is great because it is super glossy, hydrophobic, and repels dust so your vehicle will stay cleaner a little longer. I typically use it 1:1 for a quick mid week wipe down as well.
