My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.
So, anyone use any of their products regularly? I have a bottle of the Top Coat Sealant w/ 3x Carnauba, long ass name 
, it works pretty well as a LSP but that's the only product of theirs i've ever used.
I've been thinking of getting their waterless car wash. It seems unique compared to other waterless car washes that i've used, like Poorboy's Spray & Wipe, in that it claims to: Clean, Polish, and Protect the paint all in one. I saw a pretty cool video on YouTube about it, seems believable
So any experience out there with them?

I have 2 coats of 50/50 on my car now. Seems to be holding up pretty well. Still feels slick after 2 months of weekly washes and summer heat.
Have you tried Optimum No Rinse(ONR) wash? I use ONR 99% of the time for my washes. Cleans pretty good to me and its fast.

Yeah, i've been wanting to pick up a bottle of that ONR, just haven't gotten around to ordering it.
Anything you could compare that 50/50 too? Say Pink wax? That's my current favorite, but i'm in the market for a new wax.

I use some of their stuff (Towels, Wash Products, Clay Bars, etc.). I use other products for polishing, waxing and sealing.
Member FMINUS, who is considered the top detailer on this forum, loves CG. His work is defiitely the best I have ever seen without question and he swears by CG. However, he too, uses many other products as well.

I don't remember what pink wax looked like. I actually forgot I had some until you mentioned it. In my opinion, 50/50 looks very similar to Pinnacle Souveran, but with a tiny bit more shine and longevity.

I got their poly based glaze - if anyone is placing an order this stuff is awesome. My car has never been shinier. Two washes after polishing I can still see the lane markers reflect of my paint while driving. For LSP another one I love is FMJ.

Anybody tried out their hex-logic foam pads? I found a pretty good deal on their website for a PC 7424xp with some pads, lube and cleaner, but i'm not sure how their pads are? It seems most people use either Lake County CCS or old-school flat pads
