Werkstat Products

[silvermesa]

I have been seeing photos of the success folks are having with Jeff Werkstat products to gain gloss especially on white or light colored vehicles. Of course, this is on properly corrected and smooth paint surfaces.

Products I am considering are:
A)Prime
B) Acrylic Jet Trigger
C) Acrylic Glos
D) Werkstat Autobody Wash

I have several questions regarding his products (a version of Prime, Acrylic Jet Trigger and Acrylic Glos)

1) On a fully corrected vehicle would you recommend using Prime or Prime Acrylic?
2) How many applications can you get out of a 500 ml or 16 oz bottle of prime?

3) How many applications can you get from a 500 ml or 16 oz bottle of acrylic jet trigger?
4) Can acrylic jet trigger be used after washing to regain that fresh sharp look or is it better to use Acrylic Glos?

5) How many applications can you get from a 500 ml or 16 oz bottle of Acrylic Glos?

6) Is the autobody wash necessary with this system or will other washes work fine?

Thank You!

Some information I already have (not first hand - I have been researching but have not bought them yet):
- Prime Strong is the most powerful of the Prime items. It has a very good cleaning capability and adds some protection;
- you have the Acrylic and the Carnauba lines - for light coloured cars, if you do not need Prime Strong (if your car is properly corrected, as you state) you should use all the Acrylic line (Prime, Jett Trigger, Glos);
- after wash, Acrylic Glos is enough to add gloss and some protection. But of course, you can layer Jett Trigger;
- Auto Body Wash is not needed in the system but probably the best choice since it was developed alongside the rest of the line. It is highly rated among its users.

Of course, what car care products' line-up an individual opts to purchase/use is of a personal nature...But,

-Since Jeff Werkstatt's 'acrylic' line-up of car care products are said to be in the same family of acrylic-polyaminosiloxanes/polyethylene-acrylics as is Klasse's 'acrylic' car care products...

...I prefer to purchase and use the Klasse-Family.
-Less confusion
-More cost effective in the long run.
-Using an: Out-of-the-acrylics-family, good quality car wash shampoo, would be acceptable, IMO, for car wash sessions for vehicles whereupon
Klasse's acrylic-products have been applied.
-Afterwards, if so desired, use of an acrylic-based "detail-spray/detail-wax" may just indeed enhance a vehicle's appearance.
a.) Sonus': Acrylic Spritz/Acrylic Glanz or...
b.)1. One tbsp KHGSG:8 oz Meguiar's Quik Detailers = detail-spray
b.)2. 1/4 cup KHGSG:8 oz. Meguiar's Quik Detailers = detail-wax

Only thing I have ever used is the Jett Trigger. Used on my jet skis simply because it was easy. I then however discovered DG 501 and the application is almost as easy and it's half the price so I no longer use it. Worked fine, was simple to apply, held up ok, I reapplied a lot. Used it for a couple of seasons and still had about 1/3 a bottle left (2 jet skis applied all over everywhere 5 to 6 times a year for 2 years). I gave the rest away.

I used Prime and AJT on my silver Mustang before I got into Blackfire. They are good products-easy to use. The really amp up the shine on lighter colors. If you keep your paint in good shape, you could get the Prime Acrykic.
