4 Star Platinum Series Product Review
The products were used on my 1989 Honda Accord. The paint is a light blue metallic clearcoat. I am the original owner and the car is parked outside except when I am at work. I’m able to park in a covered parking garage. The car turned 200,000 miles this past Friday and I thought I’d give it a good cleaning to celebrate the milestone. I started in the morning with temps in the mid 70’s and humidity around 80%. Moved to the garage after washing and claying with temps near 90 and humidity still around 80%. (Just typical weather for this time of year in Houston, TX.)
Platinum Series Ultimate Auto Wash Shampoo
The wash shampoo has a nice scent and excellent lubricity and suds. It did a nice job of cleaning.
I then clay barred with
Pinnacle PolyClay using the supplied lubricant. It really got the paint clean by the looks of the bar. I threw it in the trash when I finished.
Platinum Series Ultimate Paint Pre-Cleaner
I applied the Paint Pre-Cleaner on a foam pad using my Sears Craftsman 7” Random Orbital polisher. I worked the Paint Pre-Cleaner until it was evenly distributed and starting to haze. I worked one section of the car at a time and removed the product immediately afterward. The Pre-Cleaner was very easy to remove with a microfiber towel. It did a great job of bringing out the shine in the paint and hiding some minor imperfections.
Platinum Series Ultimate Paint Protection
The Ultimate Paint Protection was very easy to apply. I used a microfiber applicator I purchased from CMA and let dry for about 30 minutes. I must have gotten a little heavy as I moved around the car. The Paint Protection was not very difficult to remove but left a lot of haze. This was easily removed with a spritz of water and a microfiber towel. I also lightly sprayed the applicator with Platinum Series Gloss Enhancer. This probably contributed to the hazing. (I read on the website afterwards that the Paint Protection should by applied with a dry applicator.) The results were very impressive. The paint glowed and reflected objects like a mirror. In retrospect, with the high humidity, I should have allowed for a longing drying time.
Platinum Series Gloss Enhancer
I have not used the Gloss Enhancer yet. I just ran out of time and energy to do anything else after I removed the paint protection.
Overall Impressions
The Platinum Series products are excellent. Easy to apply and remove with outstanding results. I will just have to wait and see about durability.
Many thanks to Tim & Rita Miller at TACSAR for the free samples of auto wash, paint protection and gloss enhancer and to Dwayne McPeeks at 4 Star Products for a sample to the paint pre-cleaner.
