Just got back from AutoZone after buying some motor oil, filter, and the new Eagle1 "Wax as You Dry" detailing spray. Something I noticed on a special display was this polymer sealant called Auri Gold. It was bundled with their shampoo and what looked like a MF rag. Just curious if anyone has heard of this stuff or tried it?? Sounds like a Zaino-esque type product. Supposedly it contains, UV A/B blockers, SPF45 ( they included sunscreen too?? :eek: ), Anti-Static, etc...



Here's the main website link they had posted on the display: http://www.auri.com/auri/index2.htm



OR, for the exact product click here: http://www.auri.com/auri/cart/store.cfm?ProductID=18&do=detail or here for the exact package deal @ AZ, http://www.auri.com/auri/auri_gold/special/autozone1.htm



$10 for a Klasse size container....dunno. Says they have sold millions of containers of the product, strange I've never even heard of them...

Don't you remember the AURI infomercial that used to run for a couple of years?



They had Mike Levy as the host and some guy with a British or Australian accent putting Hydrochloric acid, paint and fire on the treated surface...it was hilarious.

Hehehe, that's all I needed to know! I don't remember them at all, but I don't usually give those infomercials any attention anyway so I'm not surprised. Anyhow, if they're up to the good 'ole marketing tricks as bait, they can count me OUT!



:wavey

In the Auri commercial, Didn't they put gas on the hood and set it on fire to demonstrate the protection? Maybe we could do that on a Zainoed hood to compare . :eek: :D . lol

I bought some last time I was at Auto Zone. Heck, it was only like $9.99 so why not give it a shot...

I washed the car with DAWN then their shampoo, dried, then started to apply it. The first thing I noticed it that it is a very thin liquid. Almost water like, and its clear. It smelled terrible. So I started to apply it. Did the whole hood of the Volvo by hand, then buffed w/ my MF and... well... nothing but haze, and a dull shine. The finish was smooth but it took a lot of elbow greese, QD and 2 MFs to shine it up. I guess the final result was okay, but no better than the P21S I had on there before. So I just stripped again and used my same old process.



BTW, that "MF" towel is no MF at all. It is a thick synthetic material that is very rough to the touch. I wasnt about to let it touch my car. I truly belive this product is a scam so don't buy it. :wavey
 
Sorry to dredge this topic back up, but during the Autopia blackout I saw an Auri Gold TV commerical here in Canada. Wanted like $40 Cdn for 2 bottles and a vinyl protectant...



Anyway, that commerical is scary! Guy 1: Sees road salt stuck to his lower doors. No problem, just rub some Auri Gold right over it and it will come right off! :eek:



Guy 2: After a barbeque, naturally he's got ashes all over his trunk! Yes, he was using his hibachi barbeque on his trunk deck and a HUGE pile of ashes was covering it! No problem, with Auri Gold, he can just take a dry cloth and wipe it right off! :shocked



I was both laughing and reeling in horror!
 
You guys don't want to be using this stuff, trust me. The older version had some very nasty chemicals in it. From what I have seen of this "updated" version very little has changed.:down
