Yes, one pass. And your results drop substantially with every pass you make. Eventually, you'll come to point where you will not see any positive results and then you'll be forced to pick up a product that will actually do something. Who wants to make 100 passes with a OTC product when a professional product can get you there in 10?

Marketing ploy? Really? Millions of Americans have lost their jobs to cheap, overseas labor, a situation that Adam Pitale is very passionate about. To call it a marketing ploys demonstrates how much you know about the man and his loyalty to the American worker.

I have found that the best microfiber on the market today comes from Korea. That stuff out of Chin is no where near the same class. I have experienced first hand how brutal China made microfiber is to today's finishes.

They produce a large percentage of raw ingredients that find their way into most products, even if they are made in the USA.

Again, we're talking detailing products, not computers (which happens to be my area of expertise).

I never said all Chinese products were not up to par, I said their
detailing products Are not up to par. That I can easily prove. I think that your 10 years in China have skewed your perception of quality. I can pick up something that was made in America and then switched to China and there is a distinctive difference with those to items.
You can have your China products but I will choose to stick with American made when I can. Who knows, it may be my own job that I'm saving.
