I got one of their t-shirts. Does that count?

Actually, I've seen their stuff at a few different shows. It looks like it's going to be some pretty good stuff.

Ok, I used the Shining Monkey line last night. I started off using the polish, which they say has a protective finish so could be used as a one step, and it went on really easy and came off super easy. It left behind a really nice slick surface but was not aggresive enough to get rid of some of the scratches I had. The wax went on nice came off nice after you let it get to a nice haze. It made the paint pop a tiny bit more as well. The glaze I did not use on my car but I used it on a test hood that we have. I wiped it on and off and it was a pain to get off but I tried it again and let it sit for a few and it came off much easier. The glaze has no protective properties but does add depth and would be a great product to use just before a show or I guess you could top it with wax too for a protective look outside of shows.

Now, for the product that impressed me the most.....The D-Spec Detailer. This added gloss and slickness to the test hoods. Even on my roof I noticed, after I polished, that the D-Spec Detailer added more depth and slickness. I will be carrying Poorboy's Spray and Wipe to clean my paint surface and Spec-D Detailer to give it some pop with me in my car next season for sure!

The tire shine I used a while ago and loved it. No spit at all. Just as they say.
