Detailing Gnosis
I picked up a bottle of Auto Finesse Tough Prep from DD to bump up an order and used it today as I prep'ed a DD paint for a new sealant (have not decided which one yet).
Application: I used a Rupes 15 with a Uber 5-inch Blue Finishing pad.
It has a chemical scent and was extremely easy to use.
It does not dry out in the pad like some pre-wax cleaners and when used sparingly would almost disappear while working. It was super easy to wipe off (better than any paint cleaner I have used) even if you over applied it and left the paint spotless with minimal effort.
The other attribute is that it left the paint slick feeling. I did half a hood with Four Star Pre-Wax Cleaner and then the other half with AF Touch prep (used different pads and mf towels) and could feel the different when wiping with a microfiber.
It is definitely a niche product but a breeze to use. I have no expectations to prove it makes sealants last longer.
