Bought a package about 2 months ago when weather was still pretty bad and never tried it until now.
Seems to have been around since the 1920's.
Skeptical that a cloth dragged across the dirty paint was a good thing?
First trial
Hood of DD, which sat in garage overnight, with 2 day's dust collection.
Used the towel straight out of the pouch and followed simple directions on the pouch.
First wipe lightly, to remove loose heavy dirt.
Next with heavier pressure gradually lightening up on the pressure so cloth drags less and less (enhancing the shine).
Worked as advertised.
Hood was clean and shiny, like it had just been waxed.
Was pleasantly surprised.
Second Trial
Horizontal surfaces (hood, roof and trunk) on 3 day after rain road grime.
I would normally do a full ONR&W wash at this point but thought I'd see what Kozak could do.
Used half the hood as a pre-test spot.
Did couple light wipes to remove the heavy stuff and noticed the towel becoming quite filled with dirt.
Gave it a quick smacking (like beating a rug) and turned to a fresh side (most of the dirt came out as dust).
Carried on with the light wiping of the heavy stuff and changed sides.
Used fairly heavy wipes back and forth across the test spot followed by lighter and lighter wipes to enhance shine.
Have got to say was impressed.
Nice shine, no additional swirls (I checked with my best light) and great shine.
Add to this I did the Hood, Roof and Trunk in 5-8 minutes (whole car in 15-20).
Final Test
Going to test on single stage black stripes painted on hood (have no clear coat) after vigorous polishing and fresh waxing.
Try to do 50/50 spot with swirl finder light, to test for swirls from using Kozak.
Comments:
Really exceeded expectations.
Surface cannot have any water or sticky stuff on it at all (smears and streaks).
Cannot be washed, so not sure how to keep clean, other than beating by hand.
Makes a great glove box cloth for touch ups.
Keep in plastic pouch or baggy, so doesn't dry out.
Think the dirt is pulled from the surface by electrostatic charged difference between towel and car (positive to negative).
Would not recommend for heavily soiled car (would clog up towel and can't be washed in soap and water).
Works on glass real good too.
Very quick way to clean and shine your car between regular washing and waxing.
