There isn't any difference between OTC products. They are marketed to certain sector of customers who either don't care that much, don't know any better or are on a budget. But to compare the results that they achieve with a quality product is just being uninformed. If OTC products were any good, body shops and pro detailers would NOT spend the money they do on professional products. If I could get away with using Turtle Wax on a car and charge $200 for an exterior detail, I might think about doing it on the side. The only problem is, I would never get any repeat business!

At a car show this weekend, I only had time to use a last step polish on my car. I didn't even have a chance to apply ANY wax. However, people thought the paint on my car looked fantastic. This is the difference between a quality polish and a OTC wax. Just imagine how much deeper my shine would have been if I had sealed it and then laid some carnuba paste over the sealant. They don't sell that type of stuff OTC.
