Castle Products??

Hey again all, I was at the 85th PGA this morning before i had to work, and i happened to be talking to someone about what we are going to be doing on the club grounds (detailing obviously). Well, the guy sitting next to me says sorry to sound like i am listening to you, but i heard you say you owned a detailing business. 30 min later i walked away with his card, and an appt. to meet and discuss my product needs. I wanted to know what you know about or if you have tried their products. I always thought this company was just Hi-Performance racing fluids and that type of prduct, but they have an entire detail line. The web-site on the card is Castle. Please give me a few opinions thanks
Michael

CastleŽ TrophyTM Car Wax

A combination of modern polymers and gentle cleaners for durable brilliant finish that only carnauba wax can offer. Contains PTFE. Clear Coat Safe.

That pretty much tells me all I need to know. I can't believe companies still try to push the myth that PTFE aka TeflonŽ is a viable ingedient in wax.

what i was thinking about looking into with them would be the engine degreaser, maybe some tire dressings. I am pretty satisified with s100, and will be trying the new moose caranuba. thanks for the heads up on their wax, i hadn't noticed that.

Give the degreaser and dressings a try and let us know, but yeah, I'm not really into trying any wax products with PTFE.

Their window cleaner is awesome. It is as good as stoner and $10.00 less per case. They also have vinyl touch. It is a super all purpose cleaner in an aresol can. It has a great smell too.. Their waxes and other products are mediocre.

Their window cleaner is a foam and amonia based, not for tint, lives a pretty strong smell, Cleans bad nicotine like nobodys business, Streaks outside in hot and humid NC weather, their aerosol vent dressing is a little shiny, but wipe over it to tone it down, got a sample of a enzyme carpet foam, havnt tried yet.

i know the main distributor in rochester his name is chris i have bought the special formulated glass cleaner for hot climates it works excellent and when used on the outside it acts like rain x its pretty cool. the tire shine im not too happy with cause it only works on different tires well for me anyways. the only good thing about the tire shine is that its water based i believe and doesnt contain silicone. the carpet cleaner is decent. the all purpose cleaner and vinyle cleaner is good. i havnt tryed the waxs but i hear they are nothing special. Chris has made a website for ordering hes working on it. its www.castleproductsonline.com

they have some good stuff and some stuff that isnt all that impressive i would experiment with it like i have and post your judgements.
