Nanoskin Smooth Instant Detail Spray

May 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Nanoskin Smooth

Originally, Autogeek.net did not carry the Nanoskin Smooth Instant Detail Spray individually. This product was initially only sold in the Nanoskin Brilliant Shine Autoscrub Kit. After several customers had great results with the Nanoskin Brilliant Shine Autoscrub Kit we started to see high demand to carry the quick detailer included in this kit individually.

After hearing such high demand, Autogeek.net began selling the Nanoskin Smooth Instant Detail Spray separately. Now this product can be purchased here: http://www.autogeek.net/nanoskin-smooth-instant-detail-spray.html

I had to see for myself what all the positive feedback was about, so I grabbed a bottle and decided to use it with the new Duragloss Plush Microfiber Polishing Cloth.

Duragloss Polishing Cloth

I’ve used this SUPER Plush Microfiber Towel before and it’s turning into one of my favorite microfiber towels for Quick Detailers and Waterless/Rinseless Washes.

The first thing I noticed about the Nanoskin Instant Detail Spray is the smell. I asked a few of my friends and we came to conclusion that this Quick Detailer smells like Grape Flinstone Vitamins! Everyone loved the smell. The next thing I noticed was the high level of lubricity. As I ran the Duragloss towel across my paint, the detailer never felt “grabby”; so inducing swirl marks or light scratches into my paint was never a concern. The detailer was never difficult to remove or smeared.

After applying the detailer, I stepped back and was amazed at the level of gloss. The last product I applied to my red paint was Dodo Juice – Bouncer’s 22 Wax and my motorcycle looked great. After a thorough inspection, no swirl marks were induced.

Then I checked the price! Only $9.99 for a 16oz spray bottle! This product easily outperformed the price. Then I checked the price for a gallon: $24.99!!! $24.99 for a 128oz bottle!

I highly recommend checking out the Nanoskin Smooth Instant Detail Spray!

GTechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer

April 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment

The nano-active coating that lasts.

Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer is a nano-active coating that cures to the paint finish to become the functional surface layer of the paint. This non-porous film stands between the elements and your vehicle’s finish, providing exceptional protection and gloss. Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer lasts up to 10 times longer than dealer-applied paint sealants and offers extreme gloss retention, scratch resistance, water and dirt repellency, UV protection, and self-cleaning action.

Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer is different than other coatings because it bonds so tightly that it actually becomes the functional surface of your vehicle’s paintwork. In fact, Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer lends part of its molecular structure to the surface molecules of the paint creating a covalent bond stronger than other sealants can even come close to forming.

The sub-micron crystalline film formed by Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer is rock hard, which helps to prevent marring and wash-induced swirl marks. Gtechniq extensively tested Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer against other waxes and sealants and found 50% less marring on C1 treated surfaces. In addition to reducing the risk of marring paint, Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer also repels water and dirt like no other, creating a surface that is much easier to keep clean.

Not convinced? The team at Gtechniq wanted to be sure of the effectiveness of this cutting edge technology, so they enlisted the help of the world’s most respected weathering facility in Arizona. After a simulated three year run in the punishing Arizona sun, Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer was proven to have the best gloss retention of any product tested. In fact, the Gtechniq panel lost only half as much gloss as its closest competitor and a third less than the average!

Gtechniq C1 Crystal Lacquer will maintain the beauty of your paintwork with one simple application.

Dodo Juice Iron Gloss Paint Sealant Review

March 1, 2013 By 1 Comment

Dodo Juice Iron Gloss Paint Sealant Review

 

This week I reviewed a new pure sealant from a small UK company specializing in high quality hand-made car care products – Dodo Juice. They call it “Iron Gloss Paint Sealant” because of it’s long lasting durability. After preparing the paint with Dodo Juice Lime Prime (w/ abrasives) with a Pink CCS Pad on a Flex 3401 DA Polisher, I grabbed a 100 ml bottle of Iron Gloss Paint Sealant.

Dodo Juice Iron Gloss Paint Sealant

 

It does have a chemical smell which is not common with Dodo Juice products. Their products usually have fruity and pleasant aromas. I even think their Purple Haze wax smells like a Tootsie Roll Lollipop. :)

Application couldn’t of been easier. The product spread out thin and even. I was able to apply Iron Gloss Paint Sealant to the entire vehicle before performing a “swipe test” to check if the product had dried to a haze.

I allowed the sealant to cure to the paint longer than I normally do. 45 Minutes later I began to remove the sealant residue. Here are some pics of the results…

RUPES Big Foot Polishers! Now at Autogeek!

February 12, 2013 By 1 Comment

 

That’s right folks! Rupes polishers and accessories are now available at your favorite online car care store – Autogeek.net!

We’ve brought in every product Rupes offers the U.S. market including the vaunted LHR 15ES and LHR 21ES “Big Foot” Random Orbital Polishers along with the pneumatic polishers, foam pads (all sizes!) and Rupes’ line of polishing compounds. We even have the Rupes Big Foot Polisher Bag and matching apron!

The Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polishing System consists of a line of electric and pneumatic car polishers along with foam pads and polishing compounds tailored specifically to the enthusiast and professional who demand the best finish possible. Rupes spent years fine-tuning this system by gathering information from users around the world, making sure each foam pad and polishing compound performed flawlessly on all paint systems when used with the Big Foot Random Orbital Polishers. The Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polishing System guarantees faster paint correction than any other system available without sacrificing finish quality.

At the heart of the Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polishing System lies the LHR 15ES and LHR 21ES Big Foot car polishers. These polishers get their name from their massive 15 and 21 millimeter throws. The throw of the machine indicates the size of the orbit the pad makes. Consider this: a conventional random orbital polisher has a throw between 4 and 8 millimeters. The advantage of a larger throw is that more surface area is being covered as you polish. This means you’ll be able to remove swirls, scratches, water spots and other paint defects in considerably less time.

The Rupes LHR 15ES and LHR 21ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polishers are the smoothest running random orbital polishers available. Like a fine Italian sports car, the Rupes LHR 15ES and LHR 21ES feature remarkable engineering and exquisite craftsmanship; the ergonomics along with fit and finish on the LHR 15ES and LHR 21ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher are superb.

Experience the Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polishing System for yourself and experience paint polishing like you never have with any other system.

Add these to your microfiber arsenal

August 23, 2012 By 2 Comments

NewMicro2

This thick, absorbent microfiber towel is perfect for any detailing step that requires removing liquids such as spray detailers, spray waxes or sealants and waterless washes. The thick, non-directional weave of the long, high-profile open-ended pile microfibers are capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of liquid deep into the nap, allowing you to get the job done faster!

Protects as you wipe
Thick abundant and plush microfiber strands in the Heavyweight Buff & Polish Towel allow dirt, dust and other particulates to bury deep into the nap. This protects your car’s scratch-sensitive clear coat finish. Each strand of these towels is open ended, not looped like some other towels. Open ended strands allow dirt and dust particles to be more easily released during washing, making these towels safe to use again and again.

NewMicro1

One side of the Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel offers a super soft microfiber nap. This short pile nap is incredibly soft and fluffy making it perfectly gentle to the most delicate clear coat finishes. The short pile length of the microscopic fibers use a blend of 75% Polyester and 25% Polyamide to create a towel that is incredibly soft and gentle while offering excellent absorption of liquids including spray detailers or spray waxes along with a gentle stoutness for removing more stubborn compound, polish and wax residues.

Nylon Mesh Scrubber Weave
The other side of the Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel offers a dual layer of honeycomb nylon mesh for safe but powerful scrubbing action for removing things like bug splatter, stubborn road grime and tar. The round honeycomb design of the nylon mesh works to slice into and remove unwanted surface contaminants without scratching delicate clear coat paints.

The Perfect Rinseless Wash Towel
Two towels in one makes this the perfect wash towel for rinseless washes. When it comes to using a rinseless wash, many professional detailers prefer to use a simple microfiber towel instead of a wash mitt, sponge or brush. Regular microfiber towels become very limp when saturated with wash solution. The dual-layer of honeycomb nylon mesh on the Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel provides a more substantial backing to the microfiber side making it easier to use and more effective when carefully washing body panels. For stubborn stains or areas with bug splatter simply flip the towel over to the nylon mesh side for extra scrubbing power.

New Microfiber Pads

August 15, 2012 By 1 Comment

LC Microfiber 1

Thousands of hours of research and countless design changes have led to the production of Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads! Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads utilize the latest in microfiber technology to provide a single design that can be used for compounding and polishing! Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads are manufactured using ultra-bond adhesive technology to ensure the pads don’t delaminate, even after countless uses. Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads are available in two configurations for dual action and rotary polishers.

What are the benefits of microfiber pads versus foam pads for compounding and polishing? It’s quite simple, actually. Microfiber pads are constructed of thousands of strands of microfiber and these fibers provide more cut because they’re actually a form of abrasive. Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads take this concept a step further by utilizing microfiber loops that are more plush and more dense compared to other microfiber pads. These fibers are sewn closer together which means the Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads cut more, finish nicer, and more importantly, last longer.

Two Designs – Dual Action & Rotary – The rotation of a dual action polisher versus a rotary polisher affects the polishing action of a microfiber pad. To compensate for this difference Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads are available in two configurations for both polisher types. Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads for dual action polishers are thinner and made with a special cross-linked polyethylene core for maximum cutting and polishing ability, but flexible enough to adapt to curves and contours. Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads for rotary polishers are made with a special reticulated foam core designed to disperse heat that occurs with rotary polishing. This thick foam core also provides excellent flexibility for contoured surfaces.

Take your polishing skills to the next level with the Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads!
