Hi, My name is Jeff. I own a custom auto body shop in Michigan and customize and restore quite alot of camaros as well as I am the owner of 1969 camaro that I have compleatly frame off restored. Alot of the cars I build we do indoor shows as well as many outdoor ones. Alot of the cars, as well as mine, do not see alot of road time and are usually kept in near perfect detail. I just wanted to let you guys know of a recent product we started using on our camaro and am now suggesting the owners for all the cars we paint to use to maintain the paint finish as well as detail almost anything. It was introduced to me by one of my customers and when I tried it, it was almost amazing. To put it in words, this product is like a nicely scented, clear, lubricated so as not to scratch the paint finish and acts almost like a spray on/wipe off glass cleaner that can be used on glass, chrome, paint finish, rims, almost everything on the exterior or engine compartment even on semigloss black. The cars we do now really never even see water. They are cleaned in this method and it works awesome, fast and easy and looks perfect when done. We've used similar products for years but nothing has worked this nice and easy. The product is called Quick Shine and the only place at this time I know of until this product really hits the shelves is through a company here in Michigan called www.Triggssupply.com (http://www.Triggssupply.com) under the automotive section which is where I order it from now. I also want to add one last tip and that is, never wax a freshly painted car for at least 90 days some times sooner but just to be safe. But with this product you can use the day after you painted without any problem and even around or in the paint booth. That's why it works great for us with newly painted cars. CHECK IT OUT!! Hope I could be of help and when you see how great it works you will love it.

Hi Jeff,

This is kind of awkard, we have a no advertising policy in the forums as the site is privately funded with the exception of a little help from ground up. We do allow visitors to make recomendations as long as they have no involvement or stand to gain from sales of the product and normally I'd look at this as just that. Most new visitor posts however are of a tech nature, either they have a problem they want resolved or have an answer to someone elses problem.

Typically a first post like this one seeming to be purely to pitch a product ends up that it was meantas advertisment and we never hear back from the poster unless it's to pitch another product.

With that said let's look at this as a recomendation from a visitor and I'm sure the others that frequent the site look forward to the expertise someone in your profession can bring to our forums.

thanks,

PS. I've known a few painters over the years and ("But with this product you can use the day after you painted without any problem and even around or in the paint booth.") they would be locking down their booths as that's a very bold statement!!

Bodyman Jeff, Where are you located? I've been in the business for longer than I care to remember so we might know some of the same people. Do you happen to work with Mike Brown? Give me a shout. Maybe we can exchange some techniques.

I see now how this sounded but i just wanted to start out on this site with some good advice and would like to try and help out other people with any body or paint related info in my free time. The statement about using it or around a booth is completely true i use it that way all the time and it has never caused any paint problems. That is one reason i like it i hate any thing oily or slick feeling on the cars i work on or on my hands as a painter i really don,t like to use many detailing products even at home.Hope i can help and get help on things with you guys in the future THANKS JEFF
