:D Well, I put my samples to use on the hood of the PT(previously Zaino on there)...



First of all, I used their Metallic Polish(for new or like-new paint) and I LOVE it!!!!!:bounce Very easy to apply/buff and leaves a great shine. It is now #1 on my polish list...



Then, I applied a thin(like Z) coat of their Glanz Wax. Very wierd...like putting on water....anyways, this was a little harder to buff, though...I don't like that you can't layer it, but oh well:rolleyes: ...left a great shine, somewhere in between the reflectivity of Zaino and the depth of s100/P21s...very distinctive look...i love it though...

Beading was excellent!!:xyxthumbs The best I've seen so far! Very small and deep beads, smaller than Zaino!!! I'm just going to test it for durability right now, before I invest in the system!

Here's a pic from their website:

Great products all in all!



:wavey
 
Thanks for the review. I wish to hear more about this product.



Your findings match my own, except Metallic Polish is easy to apply. I remember Tony mentioned the same so I must be doing something wrong. Weird... I found it really tacky and difficult to spread. Hmm I was probably using too less products (must be a habit from all these years using Zaino, thin thin thin, hahah). I'll give it another shot! :xyxthumbs



By the way, I've since topped it with Carnauba. Looks even better! :)
 
I have also been trying out some of stuff. I dont think i like the glantz wax. It is like water when using it, and has a very harsh chemical smell to it. I will need to do some more testing on it
 
Im going on 3 weeks with the Glanz wax, paint is still shiny I have washed it twice and its been taking a beating from the rain.



Still beads up nicely. :cool:
 
Yeah, I'm really itching to put some s100 over it, but that would ruin the point of testing the durability of Einszett....:(



Oh well, maybe I'll use it on a fender to top with carnauba...hmmmm.....see ya later!:D



:wavey
 
Hey Guys, keep us updated on the durability/maintenance of the glanz wax. I am reeeely interested and will want to try it. Thanks.:up
 
Well, I'm going on Week #3 with the Glanz.:D



Still beading, just not as well as before. I've washed it once with Z7. It seemed to hurt it a bit(beading suffered:( ).

Optics are still there, though.:xyxthumbs

Deep, clear reflections(I think I like Z better, though;) ). It has its own look. You'll never know unless you try it.



:wavey
 
Well, it's been a month since I applied Einszett Metallic Polish and Glanz Wax.:D



Beading has suffered a little, but there's no sign of it quitting anytime soon. Optics, though, have suffered. Not much, but the 'pizazz' is gone.:(



Sorry about the poor quality(our digital camera is kinda ancient:D ). Einszett in only on the HOOD . #7/s100 is on the fender! BTW, this picture was taken after a month of applying, 3 Z7 washes, and a Platinum QD!

Glanz waxed topped with S100 the next day provided the best results when I was playing around with my samples and everything else on my shelf. Just something to try for you guys.



NYDetailer: Are you concerned about the heavy solvent content?
 
Yeah, I've been REALLY tempted to try that...but that would ruin the point of testing Einszett.;)



Ah, the things we sacrifice in the name of Autopia.:D



:wavey
 
Hmm, why not do half? My UPP durability test took one month to complete, but when Einszett came I could not wait that long again to mess around.
 
be careful what kind of QD you are using with glanz wax. mike from einzsett tol me to avoid QD with alcohol it will slighty diminish the shine. he said to use a water based alcolhol free QD some are griots,1 grand show off,Quick shine good luck finding the shine that suits you! T
 
Thanks Thom for this info. What popular QD's have alcohol in them? I have Meguair's, Zaino, Platinum, and Eagle One QD on my shelf.
 
Drewski59, the picture looks still very good!!



Thom, yea, what kind of qds are BAD (I mean I use EF clear pearl, megs). Is it better to use one with carnauba in it or a non wax based one?



The type of car wash? maybe something gentler like Meguiars Gold Class?



:nixweiss
 
call the big distributors like cma,carecar online and ask which QD's are water based and alchol free .I am not positive but meg final inspection might also be one for glanz kudos on the shine drew
 
Thanks for the compliments!:bow



You guys are seriously the only people who appreciate it. Everyone else just thinks I'm obsessive-compulsive.;)

After reading some of the great reviews here and on one of the VW pages I frequent, I decided to give the Einszett products a try.



The car is a 2002 VW Passat in Silverstone Gray (darker metallic gray) that I've tried to keep as pristine as possible with all the advice I've gotten here on Autopia. Unfortunately I don't have a garage, so it has to live outside and I can't detail it on a regular basis (usually only once a month).



I've been using S100 Paint Cleaner and S100 Carnuba which gave all the great results evryone raves about (slickness, depth, ease of application, etc ) but in my situation, durability is an issue. With winter coming, I needed to get a good protectant on there that would last.



Enter Einszett. I started with Metallic Polish applied by hand. As Drewski noted, it's easy to work with, left a great shine and was easy to buff off. Left a great surface for the Glanz Wax. The Glanz Wax is a wierd product, almost like water. Applied it with a foam applicator, let sit for 1 min and buff off with an MF. The stuff goes on and buffs off so easilly, it's rediculous.....even easier than S100. It only took 25 minutes to do the whole car. It doesn't stain black trim, so even a monkey could get good results. The only downside is the stuff stinks bad.....like chemicals!!!! I think I got a little high during the whole process and had a little headache afterwards.



Results - Water beads up better than anything I've ever used. As for the look, I think I like the S100 better, but it's a real toss up. I think you get more depth with S100, but the Einszett is a little more reflective. If the durability holds up anywhere near to their claims of lasting 5-6 months, coupled with the ease of application, I think I've found a product for the long haul. I'll let you know how the durabiltiy holds up over the winter.



Now if they could only get it to some major distributors so it would be easier to find.....

Thanks for that review. I (actually my wife) has the same car - 2002 VW Passat in Silverstone Grey. (Are you on ClubB5?) I just bought some Einszett to try out on it and my Milano Red 1994 Civic. Judging by your experience, looks like I'm in for an easy time with good results.



By the way, has anyone verified a list of non-alcohol-based quick detailers? Thanks.
