Guys and gals - For those not familar with their cleaning products I recently picked up some and am thoroughly impressed. I decided to give them some feedback on their website and wanted to share it with you as well.

Dear Frank,
Since the beginning of car show season this year I began to notice enthusiasts using some sort of detailer from these bottles of pink and blue solution. Then at Mustang Week '10 I walked by a demo you were giving with these same bottles, so I watched for a few minutes. The part that impressed me most was how quickly and easily you wiped down a scalding hot black Fox Body hood and fender in the 90+ degree sunlight without streaks! That caught my attention because just earlier that day I tried to do the same on my Fox and the Brand X quick detailer I used left smeary streaks that stayed with me the whole week at the beach. About 4 months later a few of my club members and I ran into you again at the Hendrick Motorsports "Christmas For Kids Car and Truck Show", but this time we got a personal demo. Ever the pessimistic consumer I hit you with a bunch of questions and scenarios. You dispelled enough rumors and showed what the products could do so I picked up a bottle of the Aquanil-X and Tire Shine to try for myself. Since my Fox Mustang is in the shop my Atlantic Blue '00 GT became the guinea pig. I used both products after a few hundred mile road trip in the GT with success, then after a couple weeks in the garage I used it again to remove the dust before a club event last Saturday. While my club ate at the restaurant a pretty good sleeting rain shower began and continued for a couple hours. I then made the 30 mile drive home that evening through a misty, rain soaked interstate behind cars and semi's. I noticed the sheeting action on the windshield was very Rain-X like which was a nice surprise. I pulled into my garage that night and after getting out noticed the car was virtually dry(I was told this would happen from another club member that uses CroftGate products), but with bad lighting that's about all I noticed. It wasn't until the next day I walk out into the garage and saw just how clean the car still looked. It was if detailing elves visited my garage while I slept to remove the usual rain scum from my dark blue paint. After a lap or two around the car I decided to back it out into the sun for a closer inspection. It was unbelievable, the car still looked detailed. Only when you walked next to the fender could you see traces of wiper marks on the windshield from the evening before. Moving to the top of the rear bumper, which any New Edge Mustang owner knows is the dirtiest part of the car, I could just see a few small traces of water spots. The exterior looked so good I left it alone for the week of driving ahead. I can see where your products saves enthusiasts many hours of labor giving them more time to enjoy their pride and joy.
I am truly impressed with what I've seen so far and just wanted to drop you a note saying so. From now on...I fear no rain shower!!!!

A few other members are using it as well with great success. Considering I've tried almost the entire cleaning isle of products over the years so far this stuff "out shines" the rest! ;)
