Detailing market research

[lambchop]

Hi Guys

With all these new products doing the rounds in Europe
What are you wanting to see in SA?

Im currently looking at a product called NanoSkinz
but other than that maybe some MF pads

Lets have your thoughts. Lets not limit it to a specific item
It could be torches, machines, drying towels etc etc

:thumbs:

Modesta

Modesta

Must say that Paul Dalton is really punting Modesta at the moment
Looks good. Just dont mess up the application .

 

[calypso]

Yeah, Paul will punt whoever is paying (3M, Swissvax) but that aside, still looks like a nice sealant.

The Metro Master Blaster, I really need one of these in my life.

+1 on the MF pads :thumbs:

i dont know enough about detailing to ask for products.., i am still getting to grips with everything available already. :rollsmile:

Iv just bought one of those ..

Its great but i think its a tad to powerful for its intention.

If I ever buy a black car, this will be a must

Can get a bit over-whelming.

I also think quality microfibers is always a must.

I have always wanted the Zaino Finishing towels since they are borderless and EXTREMELY soft from what I have read, then also the Chemical Guys massive drying towels like this one:

I use the pat dry technique and the larger the towel the better :rollsmile:

I am also a sucker for waxes. Would love to try Dodo Juice and Zymol Waxes.

Well not the "Vintage Glaze", those are like R40K.

The last thing is an "affordable" PTG. Really not easy to get one of these.

Try the MicroFibre Madness towels bud
They really really good

As for Waxes - I dunno Iv got my doubts with the longevity etc. If you think about it all these waxes are designed in Eurpoe and they have different issues to us. Africa's climate is really harsh so spending alot of money on a quality wax thinking it wil last 12 months is a bit iffy..

PTG - You get what you pay for gents

+1 on teh brushes. I find it difficult to find suitable brushes for leather cleaning. Further, I find some of the better leather cleaning products are not available locally - Gliptone and Leather Masters to name a few.

I imported Leather Masters and used a Shoe brush (not ideal).

EDIT: oh and also using Sonax Extreme Leather cleaner, which is locally available, but I prefer the Leather masters product.

To clean leather you really don't need an expensive brush. Anything like this should work fine:

Race Glaze leather cleaner/conditioner and brush is a great kit.
