That's an interesting quote, Adam - but I must admit it goes against the grain of what I've seen. In the right hands, and with the correct techniques, nearly ANY boutique or OTC product can look really good. In the shop of a master, Turtle Wax can look just as good as the $2000 per tin boutique waxes. But if you don't know what you're doing, then that two grand wax will look like crap. The reason so many OTC products are so good is that they're competing for the weekend warrior dollar - and they want to make even an amateur look halfway decent.

I'd have to come down on the opposite side of your statement - if you learn the right techniques, and use the right tool for the job, nearly any product will produce good results, within its design parameters.
