Ultima Elastrofoam, who has it?!

[optimusp517]

What`s your opinion! I`m about to place an order for this line of products and want to know is it worth the shot????

I should be able to tell you after the weekend.

Up to the top on this.



I`m considering getting it and want to know other folks experience with it.



I`m mainly interested in how aggressive it is (likely to scratch, cause marring) because I would not be following it up with a machine polish.

I wrote a long reply on this yesterday but somehow it wasn`t posted?? Anyway, in a nutshell if you are not going to use a PC afterwards, i would DEFINITELY not use the product. I used it on a black car and left marring which I was able to buff out. Elastrofoam works quickly, cleans off nicely and surface is very smooth afterwards but causes marring.

Going to try again but exert less pressure. If still causes marring, back to clay for me.

Put me up for first dibs if you ditch it jeepsey. I haven`t used anything better for neglected paint.

I have the same thing as the elastofoam from a place called Majestic Solutions for $20. It works soooooo much better than clay, and is much faster with no marring. It does not matter how hard you press, I could not get it to marr.

Friggun annoyed, I just bought 3 Packs of Riccardo (Erazer Clay) from Canada. All reports I`ve heard are that the foam block outperforms, can be used heavily, easier to handle, and is cheaper.

Wanna sell me the Ricardo Clay? :D

Like any other new product, you got to try it for yourself to determine whether it works for you. Some have used the Elastrofoam with no marring. Others including myself have found that it does induce marring <see an earlier post-Ultima Elastrofoam Paint Cleaning System ( 1 2) rkf76>. Maybe I used too much pressure and also, marring on black is very apparent.



Lots of advantages over clay--faster, cleaner, more effective and supposedly doesn`t strip the LSP. The only drawback being the possibility of marring. If using less pressure prevents the marring, the product is a winner and can be used for even touch up work. If not, I`ll use Elastrofoam whenever I plan to pull out my PC.

I will take your clay off you.

Thank you for the pointer!

Thanks for the link, Alfisti. Sounds like a product I`ll have to try out. At $22 per sponge, the price was a bit too steep but now that it`s $11, that`s a lot more reasonable.



That kind of sucks though that Superior Shine made a comment about overpaying if you paid more than $10 for it, but then wouldn`t share any more info about it. He shouldn`t tease us like that!

Joe(Superior Shine)was pulling your leg, is more than obvious from that thread who is selling it for the amount joe stated.

Interesting...where can I find this for under $10 :)
