Autogeek.net was offering samples of the new and revised Detailer's Pride products. According to Max, this line has been updated and now contains 20 different detailing products that are either brand new or revamped.http://www.autogeek.net/detailer-s-pride.html



Has anyone received/tried out any of their new samples?



The products that caught my eye were:



DP Waterless Auto Wash: "The high lubricity formula loosens surface contamination and allows you to wipe it away without scratching the paint. It will not create an artificial shine, but it will uncover existing wax that has been covered with dust and dirt. " http://www.autogeek.net/waterless-auto-wash.html This appears similar to Poorboy's S&W which is already one of my indispensible favorites!



DP Wheel Glaze: "Cleaner and a polymer sealant that removes contamination from the wheel surface and creates a shiny protective coating." http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-wax.html Sounds similar to the PB Wheel Sealant, but the DP includes a cleaner where the PB is a pure sealant.



DP Spray Surface Shield: "DP has improved upon the paint sealant by doing what no one has ever done before: create a spray formula! Spray Surface Shield is an easy-to-apply spray version of our DP Premium Surface Shield. Made of modified liquid polymers and glossing agents, this water-based sealant blocks out UV rays and pollution to keep your paint in like-new condition." http://www.autogeek.net/dp565.html



I'm not quite sure that their claim to be the "first spray sealant" is totally correct. Sonus Acrylic Spritz and I believe the new Z8 came before DP's in my mind, but I am not trying to knock Max. I'm all for new and improved products to try out and I am greatful that manufacturers continue to innovate.:up



But, I guess the biggest question in my mind is that the DP Premium Surface Shield ( http://www.autogeek.net/dp525.html) product description seems to me to be very similar to the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. The similarity is that the DP Surface Shield is water based and requires 12 hours to cure in absolutely dry conditions. Supposedly, it is formulated to react with oxygen in order to bond the polymers to the paint. Any contact with water will weaken the sealant's bond to the paint and the sealant will not fully cure. Is the similarity to WG merely an extension of the water-based polymer sealant technology they already have, or is it just relabled WG sealant?:nixweiss



Sounds like we may have to do a WG vs. DP sealant test to see for ourselves.:woot:
 
I have a sample kit coming, too. I'm interested to see which 3 products they send me. I'm hoping for some of the spray sealant.



If I get the surface sheild, I will be able to directly compare it to Wolfgang.
 
I see their other DP stuff went on sale.



Time to pick up another gallon of Wheel Gel - my FAVORITE wheel cleaner! :up
 
For reference, here is their full line of new DP products (had to search for it, not released fully yet).

As you can see, they also have a carnauba wax and waterless wash and polishes, among others.
 
Mine hasn't shipped yet, so I hope they're listening to me when I say I'd like to try the car wash, spray sealant, and wheel cleaner ;) :D
 
I'm a little disappointed. DP has been my secret gem, a low-key product line that not too many talked about. I was very happy with the products I've tried. It's good that the products are being revised but I get the feeling that they are trying to go upmarket and become yet another boutique brand. Not to mention that I can't find their glass cleaner - neither in the old nor the new line.
 
I'm glad to see DP seems to be quality products from the comments. I placed an order with autogeek earlier in the week and they're including some samples. I'm looking forward to giving them a try now.
 
Hmmm, I just might have to jump on the sample offer.
