Crystal Guard? Anyone use or have opinions?

Im pretty **** about keeping my car clean and shiny... I was reading about this product called Crystal Guard... its a liquid based product used as an alternative to waxing and takes only 30 mins to apply after a wash.... Does anyone know if this product stands up to its claims and is worthy enough to be put on our Gs.... or should i stick to Zaino or other traditional waxes....

heres the address to read more about it...

Don't listen to Rambo, too much caffeine.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Many here have used CG and love it. And BTW Dawn is a dishwashing liquid that will remove ALL your wax. Not sure it will remove CG though.

Thumbs up for the CG from me. Applied my first coat last week. EASY to apply! Will probably CG at the first of every month, entire car and wheels. Easier to keep the car clean, and keeps the brake dust down on the wheels.

Re: Crystal Guard? Anyone use or have opinions?

I swear by the stuff. I CG my TEETH now. I just washed my car with a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle of water.... I love being able to do that.

Re: Crystal Guard? Anyone use or have opinions?

Thanks for the replies everybody.. where can i get some of this famous CG... and how much should i pay?...
this might be a dumb question but what brand microfiber do you guys use, where can i get some, what size do you recommend... use for clear/dry or both... how much?
im just kinda lazy to go shopping or research and would rather get opinions from you guys that from anywhere else..

thanks for your opinions..

Re: Crystal Guard? Anyone use or have opinions?

I used CG once, then switched to Klasse for a number of reasons. CG wasn't easy for me to apply, since I don't have a house or my own hose. So I went to a do it yourself carwash, and ended up missing a bunch of hazy spots due to bad lighting. If I had a driveway, and a hose, I could have avoided this problem, or at least taken care of it when I noticed it.

Be forwarned though, CG pro or quick will only last a month or so. This isn't reasurring for a snowy winter when hand carwashes become fewer and farther between.

Also, it does nothing for concealing/filling swirl marks, and although the shine is nice and glossy, it's not deep and wet. But hey, to each his/her own. CG is a good product, just not my favorite.

Re: Crystal Guard? Anyone use or have opinions?

I am fairly happy with the results of CG on my white coupe. it was slippery smooth after the first coat. water seems to just glide right off and the car stays clean.

but what I am having problems with, is the CG wash. See, when the car is not very dirty, CG wash works great, and everything is nice and peachy. but what to do after a good solid week of rainy and generally schmitty weather?

say it rained all last week. the lower door panels and fenders are covered with sprayed/splashed on dirt, accumulated over the week. for this, a spritz of CG wash and a microfibre cloth is not gonna cut it.

The problem is that CG wash doesn't foam up enough for me to use a proper wash mitt.

what do you guys say?
