Default Adam's product review corner....
Okay, so, when I try a product to use on my truck, from now on I will post my review for it so you all can read it. and decide if it might fit your needs or not.

Tonights review will be of: Armor All Ultra Shine Wash and Wax
Purchased from: Autozone
Price $5.99 +tax
Pic of product:


According to the label, this is Armor All's "most advanced wash and wax", so I purchased it. I got home, rinsed off my truck and mixed the wash and wax as directed in a CLEAN 5 gallon bucket. I used a CLEAN terry cloth rag and washed the truck as I always would.

Review: This stuff sucks and actually, if I ever meet an Armor All rep, I swear I will kick him in the nuts based on how bad this stuff is. After my truck dried I had swirl marks everywhere, it appeared as it had never been washed. I have better results using Dawn dish soap. It makes good suds in the bucket, but doesnt clean very well at all.

Would I purchase this product again?: Absolutely NOT.

Tried that ice stuff don't like it at all.

Good info Adam, now I know which one to stay away from, the last one I used was the mr. clean soap that goes in the water gun made by them as well (the one you dont need to dry the car after) It works pretty good but I've been cheap lately and honestly just been using w.e soap is around the house at the time

I use that of stuff all the time, I've been using it for about 5 years now. Love it and puts a light coat of wax on it also. Smells good too.

In fact I just used it again about a week ago and detailed the truck.

Also dawn dish shop and laundry detergent eat away at the clear coat. Just thought I'd throw that in there aswell.

Adam i think the white smears happened to you because of the way your clearcoat is, same thing would happen to my buick if I used stuff like that.

With that being said, I use just regular car wash, and wax it by hand. The ol fashion way.
