Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / October 2004Astroshield?
Anybody familiar with Astroshield polish (http://www.astroshield.com/)? I've heard some decent things about it, even that they use it on the Disney World monorails. My local store doesn't carry my old brand anymore, and they recommended this one. Thx. Riz > Anybody familiar with Astroshield polish > (http://www.astrospam.com/)?

What year Monorail do you own? ~~R.Banks Sounds a somewhat GOOFY to me, one would think Disney's technicians would prefer to use GREASE on the monorails rather than an a more expensive lubricant, like a polymer. ;) mike hunt > Anybody familiar with Astroshield polish > (http://www.astroshield.com/)?

Riz > The monorail CARS. Yeah yeah... we know. We're ribbing you. In my experience, polish is polish. As long as it's formulated for your paint, it's going to shine it up. Oh, and from what I remember, the Disney monorail cars are fiberglas and stainless steel. If that's what your car's made of, then by all means try it. Just don't mix up the Astroshield with Astroglide. You wouldn't like the results. ;-) I'm AM interested in that new Mr. Clean "car washing system". (Why does it have to be a "system"... washing your car is high-tech now? Sheesh!) Having two classics (and the '53 Cadillac is a LOT of car to wash/dry), the no hand dry/no spotting idea looks interesting. Now what year Monorail DO you own? <g> ~~R.Banks I tried the Mr. Clean system and if you're near Dallas, TX, please drop by and pick it up. I need to clean the junk out of the garage. >> The monorail CARS. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > >~~R.Banks I tried the Mr Clean thing too. Let's just say it *might* have had fewer spots but there were still so many it's kind of hard to tell. N.E.1. > I tried the Mr Clean thing too.

I'll just get a nicer head for the hose, and keep using my Westley's cash wash stuff. It seems to leave the cars shiny, works, and sounds like it'll leave the car just about the same. (And for a lot less money) ~~R.Banks >> I tried the Mr Clean thing too. Let's just say it *might* have had fewer >> spots but there were still so many it's kind of hard to tell. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >~~R.Banks I think the big thing is the softened or filtered water they use that makes it spot less . Same as the "Spot Free Rinse" at the car wash. Al > I think the big thing is the softened or filtered water they use > that makes it spot less .

When you get spots (on your dishes or on your car), it's from contaminants in the water. Normally, water will bead up, and thus leave the contaminants behind in the shape of the bead when it dries, and that's where you get the spots from. Jet Dry (and the Mr. Clean stuff, I'll bet) work by removing the surface tension from the water (don't ask me how) so that it sheets out. The filter with the Mr. Clean stuff removes a good bit of the contaminants, but what's left in is spread out all over your car (or your dishes), instead of being concentrated in spots.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > wash. > Al To just about eliminate spotting I mix 1/8 cap full of Calgon liquid water softener (has to be liquid - powder doesn't dissolve well enough) into (2) 5 gallon buckets of water and I pour that over the entire car as a final rinse after hose rinse is complete. Works! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz > To just about eliminate spotting I mix 1/8 cap full of Calgon liquid water > softener (has to be liquid - powder doesn't dissolve well enough) into (2) 5 > gallon buckets of water and I pour that over the entire car as a final rinse > after hose rinse is complete. Interesting idea! Perhaps I'll give it a shot. ~~R.Banks If your using it on a show car that is always garaged & out of the elements, it isnt worth it. I use it on my daily driven cars and found from experience that astro shield works better on the lighter colors. Dark colors it doesnt leave a good shine like other brands. It does out last alot of other brands though. Whats nice is it seems to blow dry if it rains on your car. The best way to use it is do a section at a time. 1. wipe it on 2. before it drys wipe it 3. take a clean towel to it again Crossposting shill spammer for a product that is probably CR@P. > Anybody familiar with Astroshield polish > (http://www.astroshield.com/)?

Didn't mean to give that impression.

Riz Again, sorry. Certainly didn't mean to give this impression with my question! Based on a number responses like this, I'm pulling my postings. I'm new at this. Didn't want to annoy anyone. > Crossposting shill spammer for a product that is probably CR@P. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > doesn't carry my old brand anymore, and they recommended this one. > > Thx.
