After using the QD+ I thought it'd be rude not to try the S&G. The QD+ got rid of any water marks and added a bit of extra wax to keep my beading topped up, but I thought I'd try S&G anyway to see what the difference was.
To be honest, I probably don't know what I'm looking for, so I did the front fender in S&G and stood back to compare it to the door. I convinced myself there was a difference but I think I was just kidding myself.
At least with the QD+ you could physically feel a difference and you could see the beading when it rained, but the S&G felt the same and my wife (who came outside to humour me) couldn't see which bit I'd done.
I then did one side of the roof and walked to the back of the car and then I saw it. :smt038
From the back looking at the roof you could clearly see the half I'd done. It was much blacker, if that makes sense. The side that hadn't been S&G'd almost seemed to have a very dark grey shading to it in comparison.
I suppose it all depends on the angle and the lighting, but I was very relieved that I wasn't falling for the emperors new clothes effect.
I'm still unsure when I'd use S&G over QD+ as my untrained eyes can't see much between them. I suppose S&G is for when I'm feeling a bit lazy as there is less buffing.
Either way, I'm glad I bought it and will certainly be replacing it when I use it up.
