Hi Everyone,



This is my first post to these forums, so here goes...

I have an interest in the Jeffs Werkstatt products. Unfortunately, I recently bought/used Klasse before reading about the forumula change. Still a good product IMO, but if there's something better, I'm all for it.



Anyways, my main question is:

Why does the AJ Trigger cost $2 less than AJ? ($14.95 vs $16.95)



I figured the spray mechanism would cost extra - not be cheaper. :nixweiss



Thanks in advance!
 
This topic has been discussed before. The trigger will use more product than the AJ because you will be spraying it. Although many people have said the Trigger is easier to use than AJ.
 
Regular Acrylic Jett is more economical. You should be able to get 35-40 applications from a single bottle. If not, you are using too much. Trigger is good for about half that amount but is a bit easier to use.
 
AJT is so easy to apply you'll be going through it like a spray detailer if you're not careful. Use sparingly. I've had to "lock away" my AJT while I test for durability :D

Great analogy. AJT acts more like a super QD, but with durability. Both AJ and AJT are great products.

That is just how I use my AJ, as a super QD. However, I do not have trigger. I still have the second generation AJ and it came with a sprayer so that it could be used either way. I have not had any trouble using it as a spray and I don't understand why they dilluted the formula to make Trigger - they really did not have to.



Even better than Trigger I think (although I have never use it) is putting the regular AJ in a rechargeable/refillable aerosal can. I use these things a lot for applying certain detail liquids (you get them at Harbor Freight Tools for about ten bucks; five bucks when on sale). You put in about 70lbs air pressure and you get a fine mist, perfect for applying the product, that a droplet sprayer can not match. Next best thing would be putting the product in a mister bottle (like perfume comes in).



I guess what I'm saying is the second generation AJ is every bit as good (maybe better as it is not dilluted) than Trigger. And there are ways to make it even easier to apply.
 
This may help

From Jeff:

"The AJ Trigger is closely related to AJ... it just uses a different polymer blend to achieve a reduced viscosity that is sprays more uniformly and spreads over the surface easier. It is still a purely protective formula with no cleaning agents and is a fully functional LSP that must be applied to a clean surface. In other words, both perform the same task in the detailing regime, they just approach it slightly differently. I've been wanting to take AJ in an even more sprayable direction but many people are very fond of the current version. This move should allow us to focus AJ as the traditionally applied sealant and to focus AJ-T as the spray sealant. (While AJ can still do both, AJ-T can do the spray sealant role more effectively.) "
 
I found myself using only AJT since it's so easy to use; but I forced myself to start using AJ again and was reminded how much I like it. The amount of product used is shockingly little. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 50 small-medium sized cars done with one bottle.

Exactly the same for me.

next weekend I plan on using AJT for the first time and I want to put on two thin coats , what is the suggested cure time between coats? .....~12 hours?
