I was recently luck enough to receive a sample of the Homebrew. i had a friend of mine that wanted to get his Mazda 3 all cleaned up and ready for a trip. It wasn't in to bad condition when it arrived, but looks can be deceiving.
Products used:
Chemical Guys Mr. Pink in the foam cannon
NanoSkin fine grade Mr. Pink used as well for lubricant
Wolfgang Uber Wheel Cleaner
Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner
Eco Touch tire shine
Wolfgang Uber Compound
Wolfgang Finishing Glaze
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
Eco Touch Waterless Car Wash (door jambs, hood, hatch)
Wolfgang Cockpit Trim Sealant
Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant
Folex carpet cleaner
Auto Finesse Obliterate
The Congo Homebrew wax
LC Hybrid Pads
various brushes and MF towels
below are some before and after pictures. i have a couple reviews up for the Eco Touch Products themselves. i will be using this as the thread for the Homebrew also, i guess you can call this a show and shine/review thread.
i have to tell you the Homebrew is probably one of the easiest waxes to apply and remove and will leave your paint slick like nothing i have ever used before. i have a variety of waxes from SO1NC, Auto Finesse Spirit and Illusion and Wolfgang Fuzion. I'm sure there is a wax out there that might be better, but i have not tried it our used.
