CroftGateUSA Wash & Wax on a DIRTY car

So you want to know how well CroftGateUSA works on a dirty car. Check out my man Frankie cleaning MUD off of a black Chevy.

If you haven't tried this stuff, then you're missing out on the biggest break through in car care!

I could not do that at all, there's just no reason I can think of to do that. Altho it does seem like that stuff does protect your paint pretty good.

How does it work when it's 10 degrees? That's when the car wash here closes.

There is not a chance in hell that does not scratch the car. I will bet you anything if you go over the area he just clean with alcohol to remove all the fillers etc in that stuff you will see a ton of swirls/scratches.

Have you tried it?

People said that liquid waxes and sealants could never work as well as pastes but we all know that's not true anymore.

Frankie's point is not to get your car that dirty or to do it on a regular basis which you wouldn't do with soap and water either. His point is that it works on dirty vehicles. Here, I'll attach a pic of my Vue when I was washing it last week. Just for kicks all I did was mist on Aquanil-X and then gently wipe over the panel with a microfiber towel soaked with Wash & Wax. This is before I buffed it to a shine even. NO scratches. Don't believe me? Come see it in person!

I understand it may be hard for someone who is used to the old school way to believe in this new science but it is real and it is only going to get better.

Thanks for sharing! I love hearing new people enjoying it!

Your detailer wouldn't happen to be Superior Shine would it?

This stuff is legit yall. Ive been using it for a couple montha and i even tried that alcohol test. Not a swirl or scrach visible to the naked eye! Idk how they do it but technology isnchsnging the way cars are cleaned now. Yea old school is fun but new tech is simply remarkable! Croftgate usa is currently king of the waterless wash and damnnitmlooks good cleanin black

I also was skeptical and used other waterless car care products to be let down but I have used this stuff for almost 8 months now and have tested it every way and it works perfect. It works so good that I have became a distributor for them in CO and I am the kind of person that will not and can not sell something I do not believe in.

I have clay bared my car already but would I have the same results if I had not? Is there a need for clay bar if you use the croftgate stuff?

Clay bar just helps get an additional clean. Stuff will last even longer with clay bar. I used Aquanil, then aquanil-X, then mothers clay kit. Topped it off with a solid coat of quick n slick. Lets just say you could hydroplane if you drove over my car and its got a shine so deep a couple birds have flown right into my doors cuz they saw a tree! No bull**** guys real stuff. I just wish we had a carrier down here in corpus
Anyway love the product and ive been keeping up with croftgate stuff. Cant wait ti try mega polish and that new sprayer in the line-up!

+1 on that dude. I wash my car so often (once a week) that I didn't even need to clay it this year. I credit Quick N Slick for that since I have never been able to skip claying before. Definitely a time saver.

Idk what they did but in the words of frank defeo "its magic in a bottle"
In fact i tried it on my rims cuz im tired of wiping off brakedust every other day and it actually worked for me! Very slick wheel surface andnbrake dust, dirt, road grime, water, younname it it slides off! Just be sure to use it right after cleanin the wheel with multi clean and then the wheel cleaner.
