Default Pro Long Appearance Products

A friend of the owner of our construction company came by yesterday to announce he has picked up distributorship in area for ProLong polishes and other appearance products. We tried some on my
MY 01 Coupe and I was impressed! Also works on glass and chrome.
Have any of you used this stuff? If so, your
comments please.

I've used it before --- and still do when I can find it. My favorite product was their waterless wash and shine --- works really well. It's become hard to find -- the last several times that I've purchased, I had to call Prolong and was limited to buying only two bottles. Seems to have disappeared from auto parts stores.

You reminded me that I need more -- just ordered a 64 oz. refill. Thanks for the reminder

Never heard of that particular product. If you try it, let us know how well it works. Always looking for a good product.

It's the best "quick detailer" type product that I've used --- the only appearance product that I found on their website is the "Waterless Wash and Shine" -- that's what I use.

I agree! Been using the Waterless Wash and Shine for about four years -- works great, and at cruise-ins my car outshines those that have had multiple step overpriced Zaino type products used on them!

It would be good to hear from others about this. I wonder if it's compatible with product like Zaino and NXT.

Have you checked with the Folks over in the Car Care Products section of the Forum? Some who hang out there may have more experience with these products. Good luck.
