Hi everyone, great to be a part of the Autopia community!

Just wanted you all to know that I'm here to answer all your questions on einszett and any general detailing questions.

For those of you not familiar with einszett, we are a German based manufacturer of waxes, polishes, interior and exterior treatments and cleaners. Our company was founded in Köln, Germany in 1936 so we are going on 75 years this year!

And if you're wondering where the name of our company came from, the name 'einszett' (pronounced Inz-sett) is German for '1z' which used to be the letter/number combination designated for car license plates in Köln.

Again, look forward to being a part of the discussions and hopefully one day soon I will have a chance to meet all of you in person.
 
Welcome. I'm sorry to say that I have not used any Einszett products yet but perhaps that will change soon.

I have a question, perhaps you can help. Is the 1Z Spray Wax a wax in name only? Is it synthetic (sealant) or does it actually contain carnauba?
 
Hey Mike, just wanted to say that einszett makes some of my favorite auto detailing products! Nice to see ya here.
 
Thanks for the great welcome everyone!

RTexasF: Spray Wax is water based and contains wax polymers (synthetics). It's really not possible for carnauba to mix with water which is why it's always mixed with a petroleum distillate.

We have another Spray Wax (called Sprüh Wax) that is an aerosol and contains carnauba and polymer waxes. Maybe some of you have used it years ago when we had in the States. But with new regulations and with the introduction of the water based version, we discontinued it.

To apply, spray a small amount directly on the paint finish and work in with a microfiber towel. If you apply too much (as if applying a detail spray), it will smear. So a little goes a long way. You can also spray it on a microfiber cloth. If you want to use it as a detail spray, dilute it with distilled water at 1:1 minimum.

By the way, Perls Shampoo has the same basis as Spray Wax. It too contains polymer waxes.

@ John Must be nice... :D Ahhh, one day soon I hope.
 
Thank you Mike, much appreciated. With the word "wax" being labeled on everything now (and I understand why) it's sometimes difficult to determine if it actually is really a wax or not. Thanks again.
 
No doubt about that. Anytime we use the word 'wax' it'll either be due to a carnauba or polymer (synthetic) or a combination of both.

Hey Richard! Same here! How's the rain in OC? I never thought I'd here the words "drought over" mentioned with California :) We have California weather out here - sunshine and dry winds. Go figure!
