Does anyone else use Car Brite Products? What do you think of them?
 
I have used them. I found them to be very cost effective but more geared towards volume shops. The only products I keep around is their Sleek Glaze. The effects of the products *I* used did not last very long but I did not use their entire line. When I stumbled on DC my whole process changed. Try some of the products mentioned here and I am sure you will not be disappointed

A friend of mine has a Honda Motorcycle dealership and they use several of the Car-Brite cleaning products. They seem to do quite well at what they are formulated to do.
A car rental place that I used to be able to use to wash my vehicles in the winter used Car-Brite products as well. I have no idea as to durability, but their vehicle always looked good on the rental lot. They would wash 3 or 4 cars while I was doing one. They used a California Water Blade type of squeegy on the windows and the rest of the vehicle just air dried. They used a boars hair brush on a long handle and washed vehicles in a suit and tie.

I do not sell them but I use them. Everyone in my area uses them and seem to be happy with them. I have not detailed long so I dont have a history with them. I was just wondering what the longtime detailers are using.
 
I like their cleaners and dressings, waxes/polishes are kinda ehhhh. Like said, they're great for volume. I've been using CB Cutting Glaze prepping 2 cars for auction today. Both came out great, but I wouldn't want to see how they look after a month.
 
When I used to detail for a large auction we used Car Brite Stuff. We did volume and i think that is what there stuff is geared toward. They have a compund called Workout 1000 that I loved using. With a wool pad that stuff would cut some oxidation fast. I can't remember any of the other products, but the cars always came out looking good. I don't know how durable their waxes are though.

Yes, i've used their products for 24 plus years and always achieved premium results. They have a new Body Shop line called Black Pearl, Sil free and VOC compliant. I used them for the first time about 2 wks ago and as I expected, first class.
 
If it's durability you want from car brite products try Laser Brite as a 1 step or Weather Shield as a top coat
 
Glazes and Polishes are different, glazes are a bit more aggressive and less durable 1-10 about a 4to5 Polishes a bit less agressive but more durable 1-10 about a 5to6 or about 30 days. Some polishes contain chemically bonding silicones that adhere better, with polymers and teflon for more long term durability. But in auctions it's all about getting them out the door.
 
The Car Brite website allows you to request some free literature and attractive spiral bound catalog. It's a very well puttogether package. It's another addition to my already bulging detailing catalog and reference collection/binder
 
I purchase from car brite every week. The tire dressing is great it doesn't sling and even if the engine is a little wet from preping it you can spray it on and it doesn't seperate. I also started using power pak for quick jobs like auction cars it has a compund and wax mixture so it does the job in one shot. I use weather shield also it lasts for about 3 months i use that on most of the dealership cars as an added protection and its very easy to work with.
 
Hmm..I'm surprised there was no controversy between the name of the Weather Shield product and Covercraft's Weathershield car covers like how Platinum had to change ot 4 Star and Miracle Towels had to change to Magic Towels

Another car cover company cannot make a fabric called "WeatherShield" but a car wax company or a vinyl siding company certainly can. For example, here is a link to some WeatherShield windows: http://www.hallmarkwindows.com/alside/Windows/WeatherShield.htm

Pinnacle is a perfect example, there is Pinnacle Car Wax and also Pinnacle golf balls. There are hundreds of other Pinnacle products out there, just all putting the Pinnacle name on different types of goods.

In hindsight, we are very pleased that we reintroduced our products under our corporate name but I just don't think we had to. NUMEROUS car wax products are including the word "Platinum" in their names and descriptions and numerous companies have trademarked the Platinum name. We could have done the same and just went to court to defend our right to use the word platinum to describe our products. We decided that it just wasn't worth the time and the money. These other companies can spend their time in court, I'm too busy selling products too fight legal battles.

Ah, ok like Schick Quattro and Audi Quattro may both use the name Quattro

Exactly, and if Schick has trademarked the name Quattro, Gillette cannot use that name. The same goes for Audi. If Quattro is trademarked, which of course they did, we won't be seeing any other car manufacturer calling a car a Quattro. :bigups
