3M Products

Whats the general opinion of GM paint care products?

Painters opinions especially appreciated..

I'm thinking of buffing/glazing/waxing all with 3M stuff and wanted to see if people preffer them over the 'next guy'

Thanks

Are you going to have him fix the mistakes he made? I wouldnt except a paint job like that unless it was a 69.99 maaco job.
