I've used them and I still do. They are actually really good. It gets rid of water spots and a lot of gunk. I'd recommend it.

yea i guess so... i asked my buddy and he bought it from gas station. but he also said he saw demonstration and he liked it.

It's a decent quick detailer, pretty much like any other.

I was at the gas station on bragg here the other day and they came up to me and did a little demo on my car (almost lost my noodle when he just strted sprayin ****) but it looked pretty legit, so i figured id give it whack. Bought the starter kit came with cleaner wax and other ****... Bottom line this stuff is awesome. I use turtle waxes black box car wax for black cars and i wax my car every other week.. did a quick touch up with the turtle wax and then applied the FW1 cleaner wax to the whole car (paint, windows, lights, even wheels!) there whole selling point was that u can do the whole car and when u want to wash it (reapply cleaner wax once a month) all you have to do is spray the car down and there wont be any grime or scrubbing involved.. well i applied the wax last weekend and it has been raining all week an my car was pretty dirty.. well last night i sprayed the car down and lo and behold everything just washed away, even the brake dust on my wheels just sprayed right off!! i dried the car and did a quick wipedown with some quick detailer and the car looked like i just finished a 3 hour wax job!! The stuff is pretty legit and they have earned my business again!

WTF so they just came up and sprayed that **** on your car, then started wiping it off? They could really add some nice swirl marks and scratches doing that.

adidasboy1186 · 10-29-2010, 04:22 PM

yea it was bold.. he asked "can i show you something?" lol just went at it lol but it actually worked. no swirls and he actually took brake dust from wheel with his finger, wiped it the spot where he waxed and gently wiped it off with a microfiber.. on the wheel of course. but the stuff actually works lol soo im happy. to be honest my car has never looked this good.

Not trying to be critical here, but based on what I've seen the guys doing this use the same towel wiping dirty car after dirty car with the same towel and they use low grade microfiber on top of that. I don't care if whats in that can was made from magic you're paint is gonna be swirled under those conditions.

Forgive my skepticism, but your definition of swirl free and my definition of swirl free must be very different. Any pictures of your car in full / direct sun or with the camera flash being fired off you can share?

adidasboy1186 · 10-29-2010, 07:20 PM

Well I did the rest of my car with my own clean clothes so idk how he manged to do that to my whole car..? Im not fully understanding this.. are you wanting the section he did with the dirty towel? I apologize if I come off as studious.. Im not an expert when it comes to paint detailing... is my paint scratch free? No, there are fine scraches, but swirls it has not..
