The Truth About Shine Supply’s Cool Guy, Punch It, and Decked Out
These are Shine Supply’s best-known products—but are they actually good, or just hyped?
Shine Supply fans rave about Cool Guy, Punch It, and Decked Out. But in the real world of professional detailing, performance matters more than marketing. We broke down what each of these products actually does, and compared them to pro-grade alternatives from Jimbo’s Detailing.
🧼 Cool Guy – Iron Remover
What It Claims: Shine Supply’s iron remover that turns purple and “melts” brake dust.
The Truth: It works okay, but it’s slower to react than premium acid-based or hybrid iron removers. Can also have a strong smell.
Better Option: Pure Magic Cleaner from Jimbo’s Detailing – acid-based formula that cuts faster, works on wheels and paint, and foams like crazy when needed.
🛠 All-In-One – One Step Polish
What It Claims: A quick, easy one-step polish with decent cut and great gloss.
The Truth: Leaves a slick finish, but it doesn’t finish well on soft paints and lacks versatility across pad types. Not ideal for black or sensitive paint.
Better Option: Picture Perfect Polish – pad-dependent formula for aggressive cut with buttery finish, even on soft black paint. No dust. No nonsense.
🖤 Decked Out – Tire & Trim Dressing
What It Claims: Versatile water-based dressing for exterior plastics and tires.
The Truth: Goes on glossy and can look greasy if overapplied. Doesn’t always hold up in rainy weather and tends to sling unless wiped down thoroughly.
Better Option: All Dressed Up – water-based, matte finish, no sling, safe for interiors, exteriors, and engine bays. Can be diluted for different gloss levels.
🏁 Final Takeaway
Shine Supply’s best products aren’t terrible—but they don’t outperform modern, pro-built formulas either. Whether it’s cleaning, polishing, or dressing, Jimbo’s Detailing offers products that are more versatile, more effective, and better suited for detailers who care about results.
