    Auto Finesse Tough Prep Pre Sealant Paint Cleanser - any use it?

    Has anyone used Auto Finesse Tough Prep Pre Sealant Paint Cleanser? It claims to be a pre-wax cleaner for a sealant but without any filling properties?

    Dunno
    but with that kind of name, it better not
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    No. But, I`m interested in this product as well. I would like to find an non abrasive paint cleaner that leaves nothing behind. I can`t seem to find one. I thought this may be it, but I think its $35, which kind of is expensive. And, it doesn`t say it leaves nothing behind, but It does sort of imply that.

    Adam`s Revive is actually really good at this and leaves nothing behind.
    I`ve used it 3 times recently after clay bar but before any glaze wax or sealant and it worked well.

    I was interested in this, Rejuvinate and Tripple as well. I searched google Al, and some UK car forums had high praise of them. I forget which one in particular so apologies, but try googling. There were some real positive reviews. Most seemed to go with Tripple or Rejuvinate then top with one of their waxes.

    Tough prep is very simple pretty much works as advertised. I use it by machine before wax on the rare occasion I use a wax but mostly as a prep for auto finesse tough coat... those two together is a great combo. Tough coat without tough prep looks great but doesn`t have the legs clearly its a designated 1-2 combo to be a real LSP contender. Otherwise you can use either alone for a little zing and bling and re-apply often.

    As for filling IIRC rejuvenate is the oilier of the two products but I have yet to test it enough. On no correction jobs I have tried to use tough prep to correct a little with a finishing pad and it can bite some and filling is minimal compared to something like Amigo. Tough prep on glass is wildly good, thin coat before a final water wipe and you have zero streak issues plus some solid beading.

    Triple is the balls I don`t know it just works on everything I use it all the time I`m almost done with bottle 2 now.

    I have it..I used it once. It was last year I tried it out with a black LC foam pad. It was kinda humid out used on speed 5 and it gummed up on the paint really bad. As in I couldnt wipe it off I had to buff off the gummed up product stuck to the paint. I never got around to giving it another go on a better day to see if it was just the weather messing with it
