Are there any products this company makes which are s**t?

I own Rejuvinate, Revive and now crystal. All are excellent, and well priced. Maybe Crystal is expesive in terms of the £5 that 3M costs but its worth the extra I think.

As fot the rest of the product range, ive never read anything negative about it. Keen to try tripple next. Ill keep to Zymol waxes, but the AF wax range appears to be a direct contender from what ive seen!

Did you meant 'Which are s**t?' as you've asked if they make anything that isnt s**t as if to say that theire product is rubbish.

 

[LukeW]

Did you mean 'Did you mean'...

 

[Hixle]

I've only used Revive and it's brilliant.

Must buy more.

 

[Cliotoby]

Oh yer, whoops. Tired.

Any products which are s**t***

Citrus power and the new snow-foam theyre releasing look pretty f**king decent also.

Could be a worth while investment for winter, might strip my car down soon as it needs a machine polish and apply C1, keep it topped up over winter with C1.5.

 

[Jordi17]

I love AF Tripple. applys really easy, buffs off really easy and gives a great feel to the paintwork. Shame they only come in small bottles as they dont last long

 

[Yellow Dave]

Glisten is a love or hate product

Finale is very simple, is a good basic QD that doesn't affect water behaviour or beading, so some will be looking for more in a QD.

The original gloss tyre dressing looked nice but durability was dreadful, yet to try the revised formula or the new satin.

I really like soul, passion, spirit and desire waxes. But then I wasn't 100% wowed by Glasur

All the rest of the range I've tried is either really great, or performs at a decent enough level that I'm happy to not worry about trying something new

 

[Tommo.]

I'm not overly impressed with Crystal tbh, if there are any watermarks on my windows it really struggles to remove them. Otherwise, the other products by AF I've used have been great.

 

[Gally]

I'll be honest even though they don't make their own products per se they, in the words of another detailer, "have one if not thee best range of products on the market".

The only products I really feel no warmth towards is the waxes apart from Desire, feels like there are too many of them filling micro niches. Desire feels boutique.

The products simply work so well, the packaging is brilliant snd upmarket, they will eventually have a 100% complete range of products.

Some of the collections on DW look great, professional and classy. It's hard to criticise.

Gloss is an okay tyre dressing but doesn't keep tyres very...glossy.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Now see I really liked Passion, spirit I like purely for how long it holds it looks, water behaviour and protection for, but passion wasn't far from it and was soo nice to use. But Desire is pretty special feeling.

As said everything generally seems to work so well, especially complimenting each other.

Tommo, I suffer in a hard water area so always find water spots, especially on the focus with factory tinted windows. Crystal normally clears them fine.

original Gloss formula also didn't last.

 

[JD]

Amazed by Citrus power. A god send for a Londoner who can properly correct and protect his car no more than once a year. Spray on, wax safe, dissolves muck, watering can off. Yes it's not perfect and I wash it when I can, but it makes a big difference!

 

[Keyser Soze]

The tyre stuff is awful. Use G Techniq if you want one that lasts.

 

[Chapppers11]

Huge fan of Citrus as well. Bought 5L of it at Waxstock, it can be used for cleaning anything.

I'm not keen on Gloss, it just doesn't last.

Considering flogging everything I own and going with AF tbh, bar a few products.

 

[Cliotoby]

What Im thinking haha!

Think ill try the snowfoam, I might split it down into samples too.

 

[Chapppers11]

Hopefully it has the cleaning ability of Citrus Power.

If reviews say so then I will be buying.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Citrus power works through a snow foam lance, probably won't hang as long as their dedicated foam but provided your LSP is lasted it's enough to clean properly still with a pressure rinse after

 

[Chapppers11]

I will give that a go before Avalance then!

Completely forgot about trying that when you mentioned it a while ago.

 

[JD]

What Im thinking haha!

Think ill try the snowfoam, I might split it down into samples too.

I'd jump at this if I had a lance. Or a power washer. Or a hose. Or a drive.

 

[Gally]

CP is little expensive to be going through at that rate, Avalanche should make things a little more economical.

 

[Yellow Dave]

aren't they of a similar price?

 

[Don]

Did you mean 'Did you mean'...

s**t phone keyboard...sorry

 

[Gally]

I thought AV was going to be cheaper alternative because it uses less.

 

[Yellow Dave]

In 5l pro bottles Av is 30, CP is 35. Admittedly I do use maybe 1 1/2 to 2" of CP compared to the standard 1" of snow foam. I guess it depends on how often you're going to use it. Regulars will probably see a saving. Me as a social user as such with a 5l bottle it'll still take me a far amount to get through it

 

[JD]

Lol. f**k me, snow foaming was just put in the same category as smoking!

"Do you snow foam?"

"Only socially, when I'm out with mates or smell coffee."

 

[Yellow Dave]

cheeky focker

was referring to detailing, not just snowfoaming. Not sure what else I'd call it, not even a part time billy

 

[Cliotoby]

Just bought tripple 250ml. Thanks ebay

Not sure what else they offer i want to try right now. Avalanche is a defo, hoping they release a 1L size. although I might buy a big tub and split it down into sample sizes for some bitches on here.

 

[Yellow Dave]

well, being a social foamer I'd be happy with 500ml / 1l if you sell it off.

Used tripple on my SV at the weekend, even my wife commented on it looking better

 

[Cliotoby]

Must be good then!

Ill buy a tub of it when its released, test it out, and depending on how amazing it is Ill post some out to you.

I rarely foam a car up. Post machine polish to remove dust and splatter, maybe once a year to get rid of green growth in shuts perhaps. This could be very useful for winter however. For long periods where my car doesnt get washed. 2 months it went at one stage because of the snow. Proper manky. Could be good as a pre wash in those conditions.

 

[Yellow Dave]

last winter I found a local garage with self service pressure washer and just took along my bottle of CP, found it worked better than my AB snowfoams, and didn't have to worry about neighbours complaining about water and bad weather

 

[MatthewR]

Was a big mistake foaming the car on Boxing Day last year.. It all froze to the drive and was there for a week or so!

This year I'm going to do as Dave says..

 

[Cliotoby]

Might get some CP while im at it then!

 

[Yellow Dave]

[Cliotoby]

Got revive and Avalanche. Was gunna get the CP but whats the point, im sure that snowfoam s**t in a sprayer will get rid of bugs.

 

[aucky]

I found the texture of the clay goes a bit funny when used in winter (yes I use warm water).
