Guess?

Guess what I used on this car?

Just incase nobody want`s to try and guess, I used Turtlewax Extreme cleaner-wax $4.00. I have other products (VM, S100, Zaino Etc.) but I`m always trying new stuff, So I thought I`d give it a try for some of the daily drivers I do. I was very happy with the results no prep just washed and applied the product.

AAAWWWWW! You beat me to it. I was going to do a "less than $15 worth of product" detail this weekend! Nice work, and to echo some on this forum, "It`s not a product, it`s a process."

Is that a client`s car or yours?

If it is yours, it would be interesting to watch durability of TW`s cleaner wax.

Back in the day when I thought a good smell and the "Winner" tag marked the best possible product, I used Xymol`s cleaner wax. It actually left a pretty good shine but lasted a very short time.

It`s my car and this TW is very durable, after severl weeks of snow, slush and salt I washed it and it still shines. It says that it contains trilicone for extreme shine & Protection & last through months of weather & washing and apparently really does what it says.

I also have the TW Extreme...The durability is about 3 weeks (ungaraged, in California summer sun and overnight condensation)...It cleans well, decent shine, and removal is moderately easy. The trilicone is basically silicone, carnauba, and some acrylics mixed together so I wouldn`t say it will last months, but still it`s a decent product.

Looks great even in the shade. I like those new Tiburon`s.

Since you are always looking to try something new, I thought I`d give you a heads up on TW`s new product, Platinum.

Extraordinary formula of pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax combined with Bavarian Montan wax to provide maximum shine, perfect clarify and deep gloss to a car`s finish. Formulated with fluoropolymer resins to fill in minor scratches and swirl marks. Layering several coats of Platinum Series Wax will further enhance the shine and clarity of the car`s finish.

Fluoropolymer seems to be closely related to PTFE which is teflon, so I`m not sure what that implies. It sounds like the fluoropolymer is what is filling scratches/swirls. PTFE is supposedly not able to be disolved by a solvent, so I don`t know how they could get it in a form to fill swirls. I may be wrong about the fluoropolymer=PTFE, though.

Just thought I`d give you a heads up on a product. They say layering increases shine and clarity, but I suppose using a cleaner or polish multiple times would have the same effect.
