Werkstat Completely Gone?

[Accumulator]

Maybe a better question for a new thread topic would be: "Car-care products that are no longer made you wish were still around and you would use" I know Accumulator would say anything outlawed by Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations..

Yeah, my list would indeed probably start with a blanket-statement like that.

I don`t know if the Klasse guy is still alive, maybe Accumulator knows..[/COLOR]

No clue, I was never dialed-in with them, just got my Klasse stuff from Irene at TOL (shameless plug, she`s great). The now-MIA Scottwax was a big fan of the more abrasive Werkstat AIO, enough so that I did wonder about trying it..

I think it was on CMA, they had an interview with the importer guy, gave his name, etc. And some searching came up with a street address in SF for Klasse, and when you crossed it with the guy`s name...it came up with an apartment. Or something like that. This was in the days when people (or maybe it was just me) wanted to know where Klasse and Zaino came from. Which is why we used to talk about driving past the Zaino factory, which from the address on the Zaino site wound up being a Mailboxes Etc./UPS Store. And the Klasse address wound up the same way.

Well, as I was writing this I decided to pull out my KAIO bottle...it has an address in SF, in a building that seems to have a mix of offices and residences, but first I googled "Klasse USA" and to my surprise there is now a Klasse website, without a whole lot of info...and guess who the domain belongs to? Autogeek.

Setec Astronomy- Heh heh, we could make a miniseries out of such stuff

In 2012 Carlack became part of the Swiss Max Lehner group (Maxolen) so that may have changed things.

All my werkstat products are gone now and wish I had some of them still. BTW the Twins were made in the SF area by Klasse when I work at CMA. Great folks when I talk to them but now I don`t know who owns them now. Still alot of the older products that are still out I recommend some of the newer folks to try them out and maybe pickup a new favorite go to product.
