Eagle One

[imported_Nappers]

I have been an avid user of both Zaino products and One Grand Blitz Waz/3M IHG...depending on the mood I am in I will either do the full Zaino application or just go with 3M IHG followed by a coat of Blitz Wax.



This weekend in Southern California, Audi of America sponsored a "Quattro Challenge" at the California Speedway. It was amazing!!! It was basically a day with AOA and some of their professional drivers on four closed obstacle courses. The event highlighted the engineering of the Audi all wheel drive system/Quattro. It enabled owners to really push the limit of their Audi in both wet and dry conditions.



While waiting for the other drivers to finish their laps on the wet track Eagle One was on hand demonstrating their products. Apparently Audi uses the Eagle One products in the Audi branded bottles sold at dealers and via the Audi USA website. I must say I was impressed. I drive a black car and I am very anal about keeping her clean and as swirl free as possible. After completting the course the E1 rep offered to clean my vehicle...at first I was horrified to let anyone touch my car...but than I thought my car is probalby in pretty good hands : )



After washing the car they applied a spray on gloss...after the gloss they applied a paint sealer which before my very own eyes had done away the swirls...I could not believe how simply the product applied and removed!!! I normally use the 3M IHG to remove swirls and it did not compare to the E1 product IMHO...



I just thought I would post to see if anyone out there has used Eagle One products and I would appreciate your comments...

I find the Eagle Wipe and Shine leaves an outstanding shine and is a very good product for only 4 dollars. I would compare it to Clear Pearl but I know noone would agree with me.

I did not know that Eagle One even made a paint sealer. It they removed the swirls, with out any buffing or some polishing by hand with some elbow grease, then I doubt that they removed the swirls. It probably just filled them in, and they will reappear after a few washings. IHG is the same way, it is basically makeup for swirls, it just covers them and then they return after a week or so.



P.S.-- I like the pic of your hood. :)

The paint sealer is branded under the Audi name, available on their website and at dealers...



My bad...when I said removed the swirls I meant it filled them in temporarily...I was simply amazed at how quick and easy it was compared to other products I have used... Here is another picture for you of my car:

Nice Audi. :cool: One of our moderators here (BradB) has a Silver S4. He has done some mods and other things. If you search the archives, I am sure you can find pics. I know he changed the grille, and some other things.

Thanks Steve! Funny enough I saw your website this morning and I amprobably gonna order 10 towels some time this week...I see you ahd a problem with your distributor. Those micro fibers are simply the best!

I like Eagle One Wipe and Shine and also Eagle One 20/20 glass cleaner. They also make a very good leather conditioner.



Tried Eagle One wax but I didn`t like it. Didn`t last long and was difficult to remove.

[Brad B]

Eagle One 20/20 Glass Cleaner is great. E1 Tire Wipes should be standard equipment in every detailers kit. The Concours Satin Tire Shine is a good value. E1 Wipe-n-Shine is ok, similar to 3M Gloss Enhancer. I like it better than Final Inspection but not as much as Clear Pearl or Zaino Z6.

Great pic!



Do let us know how long the masking of the swirls lasts.

Wipe-N-Shine, great stuff. It`s got very high lubricity to me and works wonders, and no Carnuba to cloud. I love the EO Concourse tire shine, very good, deep blk shine. The other products with Teflon are kinda junk, but most of their products are good. Nice S4 by the way, wanta race?

haha, looking at the picture, your gas is too high ;)

Tell me about it...good thing that picture was not snapped when I was filling up w/ 100 octane!!!

I like all Eagle One stuff, just got the Vinyl/Leather conditioner, its good for the price, living in Australia I find Eagle 1 stuff much cheaper than Mothers and Meguiars and usually atleast as good, readily available, luv it all. The Wax works fine to me, consistency looks just like the others, I dont care if its got Teflon or the rest of the Frypan in it :)
