Default Anyone tried Ultima products?

I've tried just about every major system out there including zaino, klasse, menzerna, etc and have settled on the new menzerna line with FMJ as my favorite. Been very happy with that for the past year or two. Now i find this Ultima stuff! I'm a sucker for new detailing products so I'm gonna have to give it a try. Sounds like some great stuff, but is it just marketing? Has anyone tried it? It's some pricey stuff, but if it works and lasts like they say, it's not too bad.

Default So am I. But have you used the Ultima stuff?

As much as I like Menzerna, if I can get the same results or better with less time and effort, I'm all for it.

I used to use Zaino back in the day until i realized there were several products available that were MUCH easier and the results were at least as good.

Default zaino products are filler products...not paint correction products

as "good" as zaino is.... not a top benchmark in my opinion

Default Agreed. And I'll tell you why people love it so much...

Because for most, it's the first time they learn how to properly detail their car. All the tips and tricks and instructions on how to apply zaino and go through the different steps is the pretty much the same thing you need to do with any other system. So of course your results are going to be better than some crappy bottle of turtle wax bought from walmart.
And I should know... at one point I was one of those people.
