    Question Antistatic Question

    Quick question what products do any of you use to combat static electricity? I just found a product called "
    Extreme Slick Synthetic -Acrylic Polymer Detailer " from Chemical Guys. Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detail Supplies : CHEMICAL GUYS WHOLESALE AUTO DETAILING SUPPLIES CAR WASH PRODUCTS PROFESSIONAL CAR DETAIL SUPPLY FACTORY DIRECT

    I am considering buying the product but wanted to see what everyone else uses.

    Thanks

    Products liek that don`t necessarily resist against dust settling on them, but instead reduce the chance of building static electricy caused by rubbing or swiping of towels against the paint finish.

    I`ve tried it though there are other sealants I like better (UPP, DP Sealant, Wolfgang and the list goes on). I didn`t find that it attracted any less dust than any of those I mentioned and it certainly wasn`t as slick as UPP.

    Do you think it would be a good investment? I`m just tired of having to use soooo much final detail/S & W to clean up the dust and resdue off of the car. Looking for something that will help me save on my product cost.

    I`ve never seen UPP in action just went out to autotopia`s site and checked it out. I might be looking into getting some in the near future. Money has been a little tight lately.

    I have a few jobs lined up next week so hopefully I can get back to normal business.

    I`m definitely into having a slick finish. I`ve been using Simoniz spray wax on my wifes car after I wax it and I like the slickness that it provides. It only last for about 2 or 3 days though. I`m almost out of it and will be looking for a replacement product that will last longer.

    Any other recommendations?

    In my opinion it`s tough to find a product that leaves any slicker finish than UPP. UPP isn`t the most durable sealant on the market (this doesn`t mean it`s bad) but more than meets my needs as I detail frequently. There are some sealants that last a long time, 5 or 6 months. I`m not necessarily in love with their looks however. I also really like UPPS, it`s a great interim detailer that seems to get better overnight.

    To help get rid of the dust get yourself a Ca. Car Duster.

    I actually use many of the Chemical Guys products and love them they work great. There Pinkish/Orangish detail spray is also very good and one of my favorites I think it is called Speed Wipe. And i buy it by the gallon.

    Try 425 Ultra Slick Poly Wipe` Sray Detailer by FK1. It is the best QD that I have ever used. It leaves the finish so slick with No Static Electricity and so shiny you won`t belive it. I was at a friends house and parked my car under the trees in his yard. When I left my car was covered with pine needles and dust. I drove home on the freeway and when I arrived home all the dust and needles where gone. Gave the car a quick wipe down with a CA Duster and all was well. The more you apply this stuff the slicker the finish gets. JoeD
