Autogeek.net was offering samples of the new and revised Detailer`s Pride products. According to Max, this line has been updated and now contains 20 different detailing products that are either brand new or revamped.http://www.autogeek.net/detailer-s-pride.html
Has anyone received/tried out any of their new samples?
The products that caught my eye were:
DP Waterless Auto Wash: "The high lubricity formula loosens surface contamination and allows you to wipe it away without scratching the paint. It will not create an artificial shine, but it will uncover existing wax that has been covered with dust and dirt. " http://www.autogeek.net/waterless-auto-wash.html This appears similar to Poorboy`s S&W which is already one of my indispensible favorites!
DP Wheel Glaze: "Cleaner and a polymer sealant that removes contamination from the wheel surface and creates a shiny protective coating." http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-wax.html Sounds similar to the PB Wheel Sealant, but the DP includes a cleaner where the PB is a pure sealant.
DP Spray Surface Shield: "DP has improved upon the paint sealant by doing what no one has ever done before: create a spray formula! Spray Surface Shield is an easy-to-apply spray version of our DP Premium Surface Shield. Made of modified liquid polymers and glossing agents, this water-based sealant blocks out UV rays and pollution to keep your paint in like-new condition." http://www.autogeek.net/dp565.html
I`m not quite sure that their claim to be the "first spray sealant" is totally correct. Sonus Acrylic Spritz and I believe the new Z8 came before DP`s in my mind, but I am not trying to knock Max. I`m all for new and improved products to try out and I am greatful that manufacturers continue to innovate.:up
But, I guess the biggest question in my mind is that the DP Premium Surface Shield ( http://www.autogeek.net/dp525.html) product description seems to me to be very similar to the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. The similarity is that the DP Surface Shield is water based and requires 12 hours to cure in absolutely dry conditions. Supposedly, it is formulated to react with oxygen in order to bond the polymers to the paint. Any contact with water will weaken the sealant`s bond to the paint and the sealant will not fully cure. Is the similarity to WG merely an extension of the water-based polymer sealant technology they already have, or is it just relabled WG sealant?:nixweiss
Sounds like we may have to do a WG vs. DP sealant test to see for ourselves.:woot:
