I've searched for "Werkstat" on the forums but haven't found any recent activity on anything from the brand. I started using Prime (Strong and Acrylic) on my previous car, a 2006 Mazda 6 in Glacier Silver and have been a fan ever since. Now I have a White Orchid Pearl '13 Accord Coupe. I just...

I bought a new Civic Si sedan about three weeks ago. When I picked the car up, I did a walk around and did't notice any damage/defects in the paint. Just the other day, I was doing a quick wash and spray wax to tide me over until I get my Werkstat order. As I was making my way around the...

I am 90% finished claying and applying Poli-Seal on my Glacier Silver Mazda. So far PS has exceeded my expectations. It works in easily, doesn't dust, and wipes off like a breeze. The shine is pretty good. I am thinking about adding another sealant/wax on top to enhance the gloss and wetness. I...

I'm placing orders for my Spring detailing supplies and the only thing missing is QS. I can't seem to find it for less than about $54/gallon with shipping. I've never paid that much for it in the past. Speciality Motoring has it for 41.95 (not inc. Autopia discount), but shipping is a ridiculous...

I placed my fisrt order with Danase the other day. Among other things, I ordered the Wet Glaze based on the glowing (no pun intended) remarks of fellow Autopians. I really don't know what to use it under. I thought about doing a quick polish with OP, then JW Prime Acrylic, Danase Wet Glaze, then...

I have a black '04 Xterra to detail next week. I've inspected the vehicle and noticed all the black plastic trim/cladding, especially the grille, looks kinda weathered. The grille is kinda splotchy in appearance and the black cladding just looks dull and lifeless. What type of product can I use...

I gave my less than 600 mile old silver car a full detail today. Process was: wash, clay FPII (in spots), Prime, AJ x1. The paint looks brilliant. It's very wet and reflective. I'll probably add another coat of AJ tomorrow for good measure. Just wondering if it woule be worth my money to upgrade...

Does anyone know of a shop where I can get a ClearBra installed in the greater Nashville area?? A few shops are listed, but I don't know which one to trust. One has had their BBB membership revoked, so I'm avoiding them if possible. Anyone in this area had this done? I need to find a shop ASAP.

I just brought home my new car a few days ago. I want to protect the front-end and headlights as much as possible against rock chips. I'm considering a Clear Bra or similar paint/lense protection system. What is the general concensus on items like this? I know it would protect the paint amd...

I have two cars that I take care of which have approximately 10-year old coated leather. Both are GM vehicles; A '99 Buick Regal and a '97 Olds Regency. Everything I have used on the seats leaves a pasty residue on the towel that is the same color as the leather. Also, everything causes the...

Long story short: I took my '03 Mazda6 to the dealer for a faulty door handle and a few TSBs and got bitten by the new car bug. Looks like I'll be picking up a new '06 6i (4cyl) Grand Sport in Glacier Silver with black leather interior/moonroof/bose/Sport Package/17" wheels. I had built a car to...

Had a friend bring over his '05 Alabaster Silver RSX for a Spring detail. Process was: Paint: Wash, Clay, FPII, VM, EXP Tires: Meg's Hot Shine Trim: VM/303 Glass: Meg's NXT Glass Cleaner/QuikShine Too bad the sun decided not to cooperate when we got to the lake. Oh well, here they are...

I did amild inital Spring detail on my car yesterday. The process was polish with Optimum Polish, AIO, and NXT. The car looks great and is 90% swirl-free. I love the look of NXT on my Lapis Blue paint, but I want to either top it with something, or use a spray wax to maintain the NXT, as it's...

This morning I have been polishing my car with Optimum Polish. This is mt first experience with OP and I am very impressed. I have enough working time to completely remove any swirls. I don't have to re-load the pad, or clean up the gunk every few minutes. All this with no dust! Excellent...

I swear detailing is gonna break me! LOL. Just got some Jeff's Werkstatt products today. Prime, Acrylic Jett, Acrylic Glos, Carnauba Jett, and Carnauba Glos. I quickly tried Prime/AJ on my front fender and the results look very promising. Seems better than AIO/SG with the initial test, so a...
