Werkstatt products

[Surfer]

I know some of you have used them, what are they comparable to or how are they?, I know he has an upgraded version of AIO that everyone seems to love, and think Scott has used? I don't think he has any distributers either correct? Just asking b/c saw pics of cars done just by that stuff and looked incredible, especially flakey cars like Silver. But just saw these pics on Autopia of JW Acrylic Prime and Natty's Blue and wow, just deep and dark and super dripping wet:

oh yeh, these guys are from UK so Justin is right, they don't play around lol, here a pic of before:

I want some JW Acrylic Prime.

Surfer...I have some of Jeffs products...Prime Acrylic..Ajet trigger...and Acyrlic gloss...and they are exellent products....they give nice results...

On that Jag..remember they used 2 grades of menzerna also to polish the car...with the 2 polishes they used anything topping that paint will look superb...

I am in the process of buying more menzerna now..but the products of choice have to come from Ireland or England not sold here...

the Intensive polish V3.02 and the PO85RE5 are some awesome polishes...even the 106FF is awesome..they make paint look like a mirror....

But Jeff's products are great...little learning curve..sorta like the Klasse Sg..but not as bad...you will be happy with them...

I am still a Dg man ..but Jeff's keeps me happy also

Do you know what the differences are in his products? B/C Klasse SG has a real sterile look to it IMO, but his stuff looks great, nice and wet on other cars.

His products are the newer nano technology products..sorta like the carlack68 products...even jeff's on some colors look sorta sterile....the carnauba prime has a nicer look and the Carn trigger...they give the wettest look in my opinion...

If you look at scottwax's posts..some of them have the sealant look....but you top it with a wax and you get a total different look..the Jag was topped with Natty's....it is super wet looking

on reds..blues..blacks...and some greens..the carnauba prime would look the nuts..topped with carn trigger....dripping...

Silvers and light colors..go prime acrylic.. acrylic trigger and top it with Sov..Natty's....50/50....the acrylics seen to make the light colors pop more..

but any of his stuff topped of with a quality wax looks very wet...

those English guys used the carnuba prime....its wet

top it with Sov Spray and it will be so wet....

I thought Jeff owned Carlack or something like that?

[ScottB]

No, he is an autorized vendor. Carlack is believed to have designed Klasse many years ago. (late 70's)

The Werkstatt products are simply updates on Klasse products, with slightly more gloss. They are still just as finicky to use. Prime strong rocks !! Trigger is better than Acrylic Spray.

I did NOT like the carnauba offerings at all. Matter of fact, tossed a full bottle last week when cleaning the garage. It does NOT like heat and humidity and I needed to rewash to remove.

Carlack is a German Company....he gets from them and also has them make for him..he is a US distributor I guess..do not know the whole setup...

He must have some of his stuff custom blended as Carlack does not offer the selection that he does....

here is carlacks site USA.. it use to be called carlackusa..but now its linked to jeffs (Google Search) CARLACK USA but has been the same since 2004 and only link that works is Jeffs...before Jeff got into it...a canadian company wanted to get in..it may have been E-Shine...but it fell thru cause of volume that had to gotten on orders...it had another name also before Jeff got into it..but it never got off the ground...so Jeff got in...I forget the name of the product before it was called jeff's..scottwax was testing it way back..

That's why when i saw the pics and seems a lot of people on Autopia liked the stuff I'd ask here. Looks like I'll pick some Prime up maybe then.

I believe its original break into US was going to be called Shokar, but failed. Sorry but no links, gotta enforce the rules as competitor !

I love the Werkstatt products I've used. Which are so far Prime and AJT. Prime is super-easy to apply and remove, as is AJT. Results are very impressive as well.

I first used the combo on December 31st of last year on my wife's car, and it's still beading very well. My most recent use was on a black car, and I was really impressed with the look, as was the customer. Even though it's acrylic there was some nice depth to the shine...
