Eagle One Products?

Has anyone on here ever heard of and/or used the Eagle One Never Dull Polishing wadding, it's like a big cottonball soaked in some kind of solution stuffed into a big tin can. If anyone has any info on this or any other good polishes or waxes, fill me in on them please. I need ALL the help I can get for my buick, It's painted white for the time being, but until I graduate I have to live with it.

Everything I've tried:
Mothers California Gold Carnuba Cleaner Wax
Kit Scratch Off
NU-Finish
Windex (no joke I've washed my whole car in this stuff)
Thousands of car washes (both automated and conventional)
A Few Meguiers products too

After all of this it still has VERY LITTLE shine but I'll admit that the Windex and Mothers both pulled out a LOT of dirt that the car washes pressure washer couldn't blast out!

Any help or advice would be appreciated!




P.S. Where do I buy this clay bar stuff, and how do I use it?

The Eagle One Never-Dull cotton wadding is great! I used it on my Centerline polished aluminum wheels that i hadn't washed for about 3 months. I washed them very well and then followed the directions for the Never-Dull. After wiping it off, the wheels looked almost brand new. But of course I thought, well if they look that good one time then why not do it again. So I went over the wheels once again, and they didn't change that much really. So to make a long story short, the Never-Dull polish gets the job done the first time and does not require going back over. However, it is best that you polish the wheels probably every other washing. I have not really used much of the other brands so i can't really compare, but this polish works great and i recommend it to everybody that has aftermarket wheels. (I don't know if it is supposed to be used on chrome though.) Sorry for such a long reply, i hope it helped.

Never-Dull is great. Believe it or not, it was standard issue at Parris Island for Marine Corps basic training. It works great for cleaning brass. I've been meaning to get some to clean up the tail-pipe/muffler on my car. Not much use for it these days since my car has mostly plastic trim.

this stuff works great. i used some stuff a long time ago that i havent been able to find that has worked the best. the stuff is called MAAS. its a paste that u buff on. u rub it in and buff it.. it takes a while to get the black off, but once its off, it shines like fresh chrome :)

First of all remember different products for different problems.

If getting your car clean is your goal, use a concentrated (no cheap stuff) wash specifically made for painted surfaces. Never use dish soap, shampoo or the likes. No matter how gentle these soaps say they are, they’re meant to cut through wax and grease. So unless you want to wash away all your car’s protective wax or your car’s got some greasy glandular problem, stay away from these types of soaps.

If your car’s surface is rough to the touch even after washing, use a clay bar. Clay bars grab hold of impurities on the paint’s surface and lifts them out leaving your paint as smooth as a baby’s butt. Now, clay takes a little getting use to but you can do it. Start by kneading the clay into a comfortable shape. The secret to using clay is to always maintain a substantial amount of lubricant on the paint surface so that the clay glides and allows it to work effectively. (Use your favorite Quick Detailing Spray as a lubricant). Work the clay bar across the paint surface until it glides effortlessly. Wipe off the excess residue from the paint. Then move on to the next section. Continue to knead bar as you move on to new sections. You may also want to check the bar frequently and remove any large particles it may have picked up. After claying, the surface should feel perfectly smooth. However it’s also unprotected, so you’re gonna want to follow up any claying with a good coat of wax. Almost every wax maker now-a-days offers a clay bar.

For removing light scratches and swirl marks your gonna need something more aggressive like a polish. Not to be confused with a wax, a true polish works by abrasion (scary word abrasion, but it’s ok). Because of its abrasive properties it’s very good at removing scratches and swirl marks too. It also conditions the paint, eliminates light oxidation, and creates a high gloss not possible with car wax alone. Because it leaves nothing behind, it too should be followed up with a good coat of wax.

Wax, on the other hand, seals and protects your paint's finish from oxidation and harmful road junk, and brings out the true luster of your car's paint. I like Carnauba Wax because it's nature's hardest, purest and most transparent wax. And that’s why it’s the best wax for surface care. Carnauba tends to produce a deeper, darker, richer shine than any other wax. And it also won't build up like the synthetic / polymer type of waxes, which can leave your car looking dull even milky and that's just no good! A good coat of Carnauba Wax can last up to 3 months. It also beads water nicely, absorb the acid content in rain, and hides minor swirls in the paint.

There’s also quick detailing sprays for those in between touch ups. These are great but they don’t replace washing and waxing, sorry. But when used regularly, you should have to wash and wax less often.

Hope this helps.
