look into Adams products also. I've used them for a while now and have nothing but good things to say.

Personal take...

If you're looking to hide imperfections, rather than correct them, Adam's is good. It's not very durable, though. I'd recommend subscribing to the Zaino method if you plan to work by hand, or if you're either not interested in polishing by machine or are concerned about the investment of time and money.

Poorboy's products are still great, and now that they've added glazes to their lineup, you really have a lot of flexibility to go with the results. Add in the fact that you can work in direct sunlight, and you've got a brand of products that is easy to use, very forgiving, and offers great results.

All that said, there are dozens upon dozens of excellent products out there. The old adage applies...detailing is 10% product and 90% process.
