I tried Chadwick's triple play this past week. I am absolutely amazed. The car shine is beautiful. It is easy to apply and it smells great! I along with countless others highly recommend the Triple Play System.

I just placed my third order. This product is extremely easy to use. I use it on the convertible top, the wheels and on the interior, as well as the paint. What a shine.

When is the paint correction system coming out? I am planning on ordering the Porter Cable 7424 XP so would really like to try the correction system ASAP.

Just came across the CTP product today thanks to this thread revival. Have been doing a lot of reading/watching vids, etc. CTP seems really impressive. So, the question is have long time users of CTP done away with all your other car care products and use CTP exclusively?

If the answer is yes, then I will have a crap load of other products that will be gathering dust!

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

While the CTP will work on glass, I personally prefer Rain-X. That's the ONLY product I couldn't get away from. Neil wasn't sure how they'd mix, but so far I haven't seen any issue. I use Stoners on the glass before applying Rain-X and then I use CTP the rest of the time. If you follow the directions and use the block and CTP on the glass, it will bead very small, but it doesn't run off the glass like when using Rain-X. Like I said.......it's just personal preference. Actually use the CTP on the shower glass, as I don't have to worry it running off. And I use the CTP on my glass when doing my regular cleaning, just spray on the towel and wipe the glass clean.

Well, I'm going to at least try the stuff.. Maybe if someone can post what you had luck with above and beyond the instructions given for the exterior that would be nice! So CTP on exterior obviously. Seats, dash, glass? Tire no sling= tires. Trim ? Plastic cowl to CIA?...

I've used Chadwicks (and only Chadwicks) all winter and spring. The guys at the last autocross asked how I kept a black car looking so good. Now, I only have one problem...what do I do with all the Adams, Blackfire, Meguiars, Pinnacle, Mothers, etc.etc.etc. that line my garage shelves???

I just bought his kit to use on my wife's 2017 Volt (for now) and it worked great on all the exterior panels/glass/wheels etc. But can I use it on the glass on the inside? Our Volt is afflicted with a bad case of "Vinyl Fog".

No matter what I use or how often after a few days of all the glass has that nasty "film" build up on the glass.

Thanks

Tom

Interwebz quote from google search....I assume that is what he is talking about from a new car. I could be wrong?

I finally placed my 2nd order for this. I must admit though that I didn't use it the correct way the first time around. I basically used it as a detail spray. That was a couple years ago. So fast forward to now, I placed another order for just the triple play bottle and sponge after reading about all the success stories and received it yesterday. I spent some time with it today and used it the correct way and I'm pretty impressed. I want to try the paint correction stuff next. I thought my car was pretty clean with the process that I've used for quite a few years now but after using this today I was shocked at how dirty the sponge was afterwards.

I have a question for Neil if he can maybe answer it for me.

Is there a way to order just the #1 & #2 polishes? Or maybe both polishes and the buffer pads without ordering the whole kit? I have all the other things so I only need those things to be able to do the paint correction process. Appreciate any answer you can give. I will order it either way but just thought I'd ask first. Thanks for putting out such a great product.

Now for the pictures.



This one was taken just after I took the jack out so the suspension isn't settled just yet.



I'm amazed at how wet it looks now.

That's correct. I'm surprised more folks haven't heard that term before. That was a popular detailing term in the 70's and 80' with the increased use of plastics and adhesives used inside new cars back then and even today.

It's that milky looking fog that builds up on the inside of all your windows from the leeching all those chemicals.

Since I work nights and sleep during the day, I emailed Neil this morning and he's going to price out both polishes and the pads for me so I won't have to purchase the whole kit that I really don't need. Great guy.

Neil did a great job with my new order. Priced the polishes and the pads without the whole kit and also threw in a bottle of the triple play. Great customer service. Can't wait to try it now. Although it's getting warm here again.

I'll go ahead and add a bit more evidence to the case of what an amazing product Neil has! I do some detailing work on the side and these are just a few of the cars I've "Chadwick'd". I exclusively use Chadwicks products and have made believers out of even the most "tenacious" car guys! The C5Z is mine and that's the morning after a full Paint Correction; the C6GS and C7Z were only Triple Play/Buffer Blok details. I've lost my mind over this stuff! Thanks again, Neil, for all your help and support!

Neil now has a new version of the Triple Play called Make Your Own "MYO". You now can make the amount you need so it lasts much longer !!!!
