I sent a webmail query to KIT about a month or so ago, and got no reply and chalked it up to "no one cares". Today I got a return email from Mark Sterwald, saying that he is sending a box of samples.



Normally this wouldn't mean a whole lot to anyone, but over the last two years the quality of OTC products has taken a HUGE step up. If KIT joins Meguiar's, Mother's, Turtle Wax and Eagle One with a quality consumer line, then it's better for EVERYONE.

I use Klasse on my cars, but i picked up some kit wax, and used it on my S-10 pick up, i used my PC, and it came out nice and shiney, but Ill stick with the Klasse on my show cars.
 
Woohoo, just got 'em, and it is truly a surfeit of riches. They aren't sample sizes, but FULL sizes of,



Paste Wax (actually a cream, similar to Wheel Wax)

Liquid Wax

Wash & Wax

Instant Detailer

All Wheel Cleaner

High Gloss Tire Shine

Scratch Out Liquid

Scratch Out Paste

Mr Metal Wipes

Mr Leather Wipes



First impression, it wouldn't have hurt them to put a scent to the waxes. But the pad that came with the cream is pretty nifty, it has a "handle" shape to it.



I'm thinking, this will make a nice project for the weekend, or maybe for next weekend. Test the stuff.

Thats what I thought, I used to use that stuff all the time, but stopped for some reason. Probably starting using it again.

What did you write to them to get such a panoply of product?

Not much, I said that I was interested in their new line, that I was happy to see them going high end and head to head with TW Plat and Meg's NXT and Mom's Refl, and I mentioned that I am an active member of Aut, Meg's, DC (not really that active, but registered there) and a couple other places as "Mosca", and I included links to the forums. I wasn't looking for any samples. I wanted information on what they were trying to accomplish with their new "GOLD" line.



Kit has taken a bit of a beating from us high end and boutique users. But you know, they are their own lab and as best I can tell their own manufacturer for most of their stuff, including their waxes. If Chemical Guys put their products directly on KMart shelves would that affect our perception, not of their VALUE but of their PERFORMANCE? It's hard to get away from that feeling of "I'm special because I pick stuff no one else knows about", and that goes for ME as well as most of the rest us.



OTOH, the stuff could suck. Whichever, I'll tell it like it is.
