Product Showcase - Auto Finesse Tripple - All In One

This is the first of a little series we have of these "product show cases" to to give you a bit more insight in to the individual products, there intended use, abilities and results obtainable. If anyone has a certain product they would like top see/hear more about please ask, as if we don't already have a set f pictures for the product we will take the time to do it for you.

Tripple is our all in one polish, a polish, glaze & wax all in one, its ideal for cleaning up tiered paint, preparing new paint, or when times tight as an all in one, also ideal for polishing, glazing and waxing door jambs & underbonnet paint up, as it removes water marks with easy.

Anyway, here it is in action on our little Mini test panel, basically showing its polishing and glazing abilities :


















A little water beading action:








Tripple is also very effective at restoring faded paint finishes too:






Joe & Mike get busy with a MF applicator each:






Removal:




And the reveal:












Any questions please feel free.

Okay, you have to help me out with this: I don't know all that much about polishing, but how does a polish take out swirls that bad without a buffer?

Because it has properties of a glaze. It will get rid of some swirls while at the same time fill them in or temporarily keep them hidden. It will have a strong month of protection on a daily driver for refernce

yup your car will have very short term protection with tripple since it has wax in the product

yes you would be able to wash the car and go right to the tripple by hand or with a DA.

Thanks guys. I'm not a detailer. Just your average weekend car washer, so this product would be great for someone like me. Would give me better results than a typical wash/wax. I'm going to give this a try

sure thing, this is a polish/glaze/wax - this was designed for the end user that doesn't have time to do a 10 hour paint correction on his/her car.

You can definitely use a DA to apply Tripple that's the way we do it at the shop.

I use this Tripple as the in between big job product.

Something quick after a wash that doesn't require much work.

would this be good as a new car prep kinda thing too ??

In other words..I used to be big into detailing but recently I sold my Porter cable and stuff...

When my M3 comes I wanna clean it up nice , correct anything minor from shipping/prep and then just keep it clean/protected..

could I follow this product up with like adams americana or something to get longer life??

you could use this product that would be no problem at all, you can also top it with Adam's Americana Wax

however if your car has imperfections its still would be best to paint correct it prior to Tripple or Wax.

This way you insure a perfect or as close to perfect finish to start with.
