    What are your professional opinions on Einszett products?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I use the full Einszett line for both my cars (Brilliant Black and Ibis White), and I absolutely love it. I'm surprised there isn't more jabber about it on here (although I see some users of the rubber/vinyl and cockpit premium). I see a lot of Meguiars product suggestions on this forum, and am curious if there is something I am missing. Maybe mixing and matching of other products? I dont want to spend countless dollars on stuff I may or may not like. Why isn't Einszett used more often? Thanks for your opinions.

    I'm pretty sure a majority of people here would agree that the Einszett line is very solid. It can also almost be guaranteed that, if a vote was taken on the best interior cleaner, 1Z Cockpit would win :)

    If you are basing your "value /quality" of a product based on how many times it is brought up here on this forum then I am afraid that you would be mistaken on the product. One, this isn't a professional level forum (yes, there are professionals that frequent this site / sub-forum) I would say that this is where more amateurs/pro-amateurs come to ask / post ideas. This isn't a forum like detailingbliss.com or autopia.org where there is a large professional base that frequents it a lot. The reason that 1Z Einszett isn't brought up more is it is a "boutique" product which are more expensive and harder to obtain than say a Meguiar's product which can be bought at a local AutoZone. Don't worry about your products that you have purchased, they are good. I find that since I have switched to 1Z Einszett (and other comparable products - Swissvax, Adam's, Lusso, Optimum) I end up using less product and have it last longer then the cheaper brands (not bashing Meguiar's, I use some of their Professional line products too).

    1Z Einszett Products that I use every time I detail a car:
    Glanz, Anti-Insekt, Cockpit, Gummi Pflege Stick, Plastic Cleaner, and Perls Shampoo.

    Most detailers on here use what phil sells, not meguiars, otc, etc.

    I've tried a lot of 1Z products, and although I there isn't a product they make that i haven't liked, I have found that other brands [ waxes and polishes especially] work better for me. That being said, their interior cleaners, Cockpit and Plastic are amazing cleaners.

    A lot of the write ups in here involve minor paint corrections or fixes as well, which the most powerful Einz isn't even close to the harshest (most cut) of other polishes.

    Currently I am using their interior kit from Phil - which is great. Love the feel of the leather when I'm done and the matte finish of the interior panels.

    I'm just getting into detailing and a buddy of mine who is really into it and has everything known to man recommended 1Z products. I wish I would've made the switch to 1z earlier. Before I knew anything about detailing I would basically buy whatever they had at the local pep boys are autozone. I was lucky enough to attend a 1z product demo here in so cal with the regional rep Michael from 1z. Not only do they make amazing products, but they really do stand behind them. The 1z products I use so far are cockpit,vinyl/rubber,Glanz wax,spray wax,gummi plege,klima cleaner.

    I can say that the Glanz Wax is tough stuff.....When I first got into detailing my own cars, I waxed my black one and realized i skipped a step.....polishing. I felt so retarded with claybar in hand and it took me a while to get me some raw paint. Never do that again

    I would say that most people just don't know about Einz unless they have ventured over to the detailing forum on here.

    I use their Cockpit Premium, their Spray Wax, and in the past, i have used their Pears shampoo. Everything is top notch.

    you cant beat Cockpit Premium
