Has anyone used Gyeon Primer? It basically looks like an Essence copy, polish with SiO2 left behind as prep for coating. There is also one from Tacsystems which I know is not a very familiar name. All three are manufactured in South Korea. Call me jaded, but shouldn`t we put a little more pressure on manufacturers to prove that their product is better/different from what is already on the market? Lately I have just been buying the least expensive (unless proven better) product. These products, such as the SiO2 spray and activate with water, don`t seem to pit theirselves against each other, they just fill a niche within the manufacturers lineup. It almost impossible to compare the products and the manufacturers don`t seem to want to say their product is the best (why not?). You can throw iron removers into the mix too (I`ve been buying the least expensive one of these for years).
I think we as detailers have been giving companies a free pass, unless a product is really bad or there is a bad batch (Reload, Blackfire Chrystal Coat, Rupes 3 inch pads). Rarely do companies offer a refund/recall even when they are very aware that there is a problem with a product. I could be that it is easier to toss a $10 product than it is to try to get your $10 buck back (this is the hope of everything sold after midnight on tv). I don`t have a solution. It is very hard to get the MSDS ingredient list of a product to actually see if their is a difference in composition. It seems to be impossible to even find out who really makes the chemicals, as in Barrett-Jackson, Jay Leno, Boyd Coddington. It shouldn`t be a trade secret about who produces the chemicals. My opinion it amounts to fraud or at least the attempt to pass off something as better than it really is by slapping a famous name on it. Jumping off my Sunday soapbox.
