Re: New Web site Up Need Opinions.

So you are on a detailing website attempting to sell the merits of:

Waxing will no be longer necessary. Our ultimate paint protection system is a tough layer of protection that won’t wash away like a typical wax.
and you are wanting feedback on what we think?

Re: New Web site Up Need Opinions.

I do both. People who can afford the premium service are happy with my pricing. It's not cheap and it's not for everybody.. If a customer can't afford the premium service they can get an evaluation plus additional services.

Do you believe everything on this site written by the 'experts'?? I don't. Many good detailing products have been decontinued and destroyed because of the 'expert' opinions that were posted on this site. I found products that work exactly as stated yet they were trashed on this site. Who should I believe? My experience with the product or some 'so-called expert's ' opinion of a product he has never tested.

Case in point Clay magic made a Claying pad system for the orbital called the Clay Magic Power System. The best claying system in the world to me. It saves me a huge amount of time when I clay. It was totally trashed by the so-called experts on this site and clay magic stopped making them.

Here's a quote to live by and I love it.

"A man with experience is not at the mercy of a man with an opinion."

Many bad opinions have been posted on this site. Judge the good and the bad for yourself.

I think the site is unprofessional looking, and stating that your product lasts 5 years is highly unlikely. What type of sealant are you using?

This just sounds like another one of those dealer scams to me.

The rainbow in the banner on the site isn't the best choice, and your font choice could use an update as well...

Are you kidding me!?!?!
Where did this "expert" thing come into this? What experts? what are you talking about?

There isnt a sealant or wax on this planet that will last 5 years, your lying to people.

I HIGHLY doubt automagic stopped making product/s becuase what anyone said on this site, have any proof of that?

Some company still makes a pad for clay bars, i think AG carry's it.


I still havent seen the site, where is the link?

Re: New Web site Up Need Opinions.

The original poster is abiding by autopia rules not directly linking his site. Click on his screen name and view his "homepage" to see his site.

The site IMO could use a lot of work. Its very cluttered and does not have the visual appearance of most professional websites.

Theoretically a sealant may last 5 years if you apply and store the car in a "clean room" for 5 years. You are IMO exploiting a bit of truth and stretching that beyond reason. If you apply you "sealant" and acid rain ecthes the finish are you going to repaint the entire car for the customer?

Have YOU PERSONALLY tested this five year claim under strict conditions and scientific testing?? Your website seems no different than a stealership selling a $1200 sealant service.

Sorry for the brute honesty, but you wanted opinions so get ready for them lol

Re: New Web site Up Need Opinions.

Check out how much "protection" you get with that "5 year" stuff. The ONLY thing I like about it is that it gives the customer a place to take the car back to when it looks like crap.

This is a scam just ike that dealer applied products. Please don't call yourself a detailer if you are pushing this stuff!

Re: New Web site Up Need Opinions.

I would love to express my opinion but I also don't want to get banned.

You could probally interest clients that get the 5 year protection in this aswell.
