Ive been using CG Glossworkz for several years and my gallon tub has finally come to the end! not only has it lasted extremely well I've been very pleased with it...

should i be considering an alternative? recommendations?

Had a look at the poorboy S&S, i don't doubt its good stuff but works out expensive per wash..

 

From what I've read, for me i think its out of the Bilt Hamber or go for CG Glossworkz again (i had the old formula and new one's suppose to be even better)

yeah fair one.. Tbh I hadn't looked at the smaller sizes. I'd buy a gallon of the CG making it more cost effective and couldnt see the equivalent in poorboys.

Never found Bilt Hamber really removed grime without some pressure when using your mitt which can lead to marking but then that was 4 years ago so they may have reformulated. On G-wash now because of G-Techniq CS Black coating..

Is that one of the ceramic coatings? How does it really compare to having to use wax?

The Crystal Serum lasts a long time, the EXO on top normally wears out after 4-6 months which is when you stop seeing the beading but the water sheeting still happens so I have my car detailed bi annually, around October / April time so essentially before and after winter.

 

Right now I normally only ever snow foam the car with G-Techniq Citrus Foam, power wash that and the dirt off, dry with my dryer and a towel for residual droplets and the car is clean again. Trip to Goodwood was the only time I've had to get the bucket out in the last 3 months.
