Post Your Unpacking Pictures

I went wandering around a couple of the usual places today, even though the sales are on, I could find anything I needed, or wanted. I do really need to use up what's filling my shelves, I guess. I did note that Repco is now stocking Gyeon products, not sure how their prices compare.

Repco have been selling Gyeon products for a while now, although they don't stock the whole range, just the basics to suit the occasional user, so no ceramic coatings. Pricing is on par with the usual online detailing suppliers.

I'm not sure if Gyeon do this in other markets, but I really don't understand why they would undermine their dealer network by offering the products in a big-box-store. If I had a specialty detailing supply store, I would be a little annoyed if a premium brand I had invested in was whored out to a discount chain store.
 
I LIKEY! I'm glad I didn't see them till now. I'M DONE! VAPOR CHIEF and ACTIVE 2.0 and I'm knee deep on bags.
 
Boxing Day order number two..............



I have been eyeing Nextzett Cockpit Premium for a while now, I forgot about it for a while after discovering how brilliant P&S Express was. What I like about both Express and the Cockpit is that it doesn't make the interior shiny. And yes, it does have a slight "urinal cake" scent to it, not as bad as you would think though and somewhat similar to all the other lemon scented interior cleaners on the market. (Side note, why does it seem all interior cleaners/detailers are lemon scented?)

Now that Meguiar's M39 has been discontinued, I'm on the lookout for a product that can replace it. M39 was a pretty obscure product, one that was typically bought by the body shop industry, but it had an amazing ability to deep clean unpainted black plastic parts. Think door handles, grills, exterior trims ect.



I noticed that Nextzett make a product called Plastikreinigner (Plastic Deep Cleaner) which may just be the replacement for M39.

Gyeon Q2M Ceramic Detailer is another take on a lite spray sealant detailer/drying aid. I have heard conflicting stories about this product, some love it, some say it's terrible. I guess I will find out soon enough.

The black applicators are just super useful to have around, I use these for applying tyre dressing, even though they were primarily designed for wax and sealant application.

And the white Gyeon tube is actually an insulated water bottle, because why not?
 
Be interested on your take on Ceramic Detailer. Have some arriving tomorrow as a drying aid on my CanCoat treated vehicle.

It has that nice Gyeon/Carpro scent to it, so hopefully it performs as well as it smells.

No you didn’t ask me but I just got one. Of the 1000ml and look to be same just different size.

Construction is nice. Not a fan of the paper label/tag. Made to be able to swap out it seems it will fall out.

The spray head (maybe it’s just mine) kinda sucks. If I get it to mist just right there is a lot more tension to pull vs a Tolco sprayer. If I get it to feel just right on trigger pull the it’s more rough spray than mist.

I’m still playing with it and will probably order 2 more as I found them buy one get one free. If I end up not liking the sprayer I’ve got 24 Tolco’s heading my way.

And 14.99 seams exorbitant. With AG sales I can get Kwazar double pumps for $8.50 and they are better bottle.

When iK launched these sprayers, it seems as if they were rushed to market to me.

They put a lot of effort into the bottle, they look great and are well built. However, the sprayer head looks like an afterthought, like they just wanted to get it to market and settled on an off the shelf canyon sprayer. They just look unfinished. At least the new versions have a weighted pickup tube and double action sprayers.

Compare that to the Kwazar Mercury Pro 360, those seem like a more fully designed and finished product, having a weighted tube and double action heads right from the get go. The sprayer actually looks as if it was designed with as whole with the bottle.



Obviously, I do have some bias with the above comments, but they have been pretty good to me. The only issue I have had was a broken sprayer head after I accidentally knocked the bottle off the bench. I also had Wise Guy destroy two spray heads, although it also ruined Canyon spray heads too. I now have that product in a Marolex pump sprayer.

We’ll see. Didn’t have a use for it per se and bought it on a whim when it was a suggestion from the website. Looking to see what to replace my 10 year old Kwazar that are starting to fail.

Don't feel bad it's going around!

Cool thing was I honestly held of buying these for so long for a couple reasons and one I'm sure allot of you know why. The other is the ridiculous freight charge of $22
And they shipped me a new one. And it was just the lower portion of the threaded ring. So I sanded it a little so the epoxy would stick and took the sprayer apart and was an easy fix to slip the ring back on from the inside. FREE SPRAYER:D
PS. Couldn't help seeing Angelwax Eden on your shelf. How does it smell?

I have both Eden and Bliss......



I prefer Eden, which is a fruitier fragrance and probably more masculine. Bliss is much sweeter and more feminine. However, scent is very subjective, the only way you will know if you like them is to buy them.

I have tried fragrances from other companies, but they last a few hours, a day at the most. These Angelwax ones seem to linger for much longer.
 
Second Sidio Crate showed up.

I think the price is fair, especially when u can get a discount code. It’s the shipping that does it for me. Hopefully when I’m on my way to Beverly Hills next month I’ll be able to get a few more.
