I'm going to do a more in depth review of these products soon, but figured everyone would enjoy at least a quick once over. I'm doing some paint correction on a Corvette next week and will get to use these products in depth more then.
I did a detail on a custom chopper Friday for a client that was going on a big group ride Saturday. He is going to have it Opti-Coated in the fall but for now just wanted it clean and shiny. A great opportunity to use Auto Finesse Tripple and Soul!
First impressions, Tripple. I did not use this product with a machine on this chopper, just applied it by hand. By previous research this product is more of a high end glaze than a true AIO, but it is going to take a little more research to figure out if it will work with a machine effectively.
Smell: Noxious. What I would expect from a true glaze with excellent filling properties.
Consistency: Exactly what I like, not too think, not too thin.
Easy of application and removal: Pretty simple. Wiped on smoothly with a foam applicator and came off easily with a MF towel.
This is the copper after Tripple was applied:
Soul Paste Wax
First Impressions: This is a amazing smelling, high carnauba finish wax that I would expect a really "warm" shine and reflections from. I wish for the price point they would at least put it in an aluminum tin, I feel like the plastic is somewhat cheap and prone to cracking if dropped just right.
Smell: Amazing lemon citrus scent, easily one of the best smelling products I've ever smelled. It just SMELLS expensive.
Consistency: A little "thinner" than most paste waxes I regularly use, but that is not a bad thing. It was really easy to get just the right amount on the foam applicator pad as to not over apply.
Ease of application and removal: super simple. Wipe on, wipe off. Gave it a few minutes to haze then removed with a microfiber towel.
Chopper after Soul, remember Tripple was applied prior:
Completed bike. I sealed all the metal with Optimum Opti-Seal after cleaning.
Overall impressions:
I feel like Tripple and Soul might be the "duo" some are looking for when they are trying to avoid paint correction but still achieve a great look. Tripple plays more like a really good glaze so far, and Soul seems right up there with high quality paste waxes. I don't know if my cell phone accurately captured it, but I could tell a distinctive difference in gloss after applying Soul following the Tripple.
Thanks for looking! Will post up some more reviews shortly. And thanks to AG for letting me test out these amazing products.
Also.. sorry for the mediocre photography, I left my Nikon at home and the sun/shade wasn't helping either.
