The noob review

Hi all,

OK, yet another load of feedback on Prima products. I am a total noob, read the detailing threads and decided to drop a C-note on a box of goodies. I spent last Sunday in the driveway...wash, clay, Epic. I have to say I am still amazed at the shine. It blows away the finish of the car when I picked it up from the dealer. Seriously, I am truly amazed.

Black Wow, well...they named that right. Clarity and the MF for glass works very well, and Nero on the interior is THE BEST. Now I can't wait for the next wash to try out the Hydro. By the sound of it many people on this forum love it so much they drink the stuff

Anyway, just my $0.02. Anyone out there wondering if this stuff is as good as people are saying, it is.

Drinking Hydro is good for the digestion.

Actually I like Hydro for the smell. Try a coat of Banana Gloss over the Epic after the Epic cures for a week, you will be amazed.

Thanks! As I just did the same (bought a crateful of the stuff, and I don't even have my MINI yet!), I'm glad to hear it's as good as promised. Hopefully easy to use as well, as I must admit I'm not a natural at car detailing. In fact, my husband got a really good laugh when he saw what I'd bought. So unfair! A girl can change, right??

Good luck with all that!

Interesting handle, BTW.

I've used wurking_girl for all sorts of lists over the years - Disney fanatics list, eBay, Amazon...not sure where it started. Too lazy to think of a new one, I guess, but perhaps it's time... (Tho I am still 'wurking', and still female, probably pushing it to think I'm a 'girl' anymore! )

Up here that handle has a particular meaning - referrring to women with a particular profession (a very old one). I don't think it is age specific, however.

Very good products indeed. I used Hydro for the first time today. It really is amazing and easy to use. I just lightly sprayed it on my wet car after I washed it and dried as normal. Wow, this stuff really works I said in disbelief .

Well, now isn't that interesting... Hope that's a Canadian thing; but maybe I'm just a naive noob in more areas than car detailing...

Anyway, sounds like it's DEFINITELY time to find a new screen name.
