CAR LACK 68 polish

[VZ05]

I have been put onto this polish by a mate of mine eXtraShine Australia - CarLack Polish and Car-Lack Auto Paint Protection

He said it was a really good polish as I don't want to waste my time and money on heaps of products which I am well aware that I will probably get a better finish by using, paint cleaners, clay bars etc...

Just wanted peoples opinions on whether it would be any good or if they have used the product and are happy or unhappy?

If you ask me it will be no better than the other products on the market.

sounds like a scam matey

Products that claim to clean, polish and protect in one easy step will never acieve results as good as using a dedicated paint cleaner, polish and wax.

IMO you're better off sticking to a more recognised brand as well. I have had nothing but good results with Meguiars products.

[VT97CALAIS]

yeah man stick to the Meguiars range of products !
cheers

Thanks for the replies. Thought it would be too good to be true, I think I'll give the meguairs range a go. I'm currently using the TurtleWax hard shell shine not to bad for $11 a bottle hahaha.

Meguiars and turtle wax platinum FTW!

Everyone who has given advice with out using it or seeing it used, need to have a rethink.
THis Carlack is ****ing awesome polish, it is better then anything i have ever used or seen.
Go onto oldholden.com and search or ask about carlack, their is photos on their of differences, even on perfectly good show cars it made a huge difference. Definitly worth the money. I could rav on all day about how good carlack is, its not like any other polish on the market i have used.

[VZ05]

I think I'll give it a go for only $30-in a 500ml bottle I can't really go wrong with it. If anyone else has used it let me know, interested to hear other reports from what Tom_1569 said I reckon it could be alright. Thanks mate

Car Lack Boredom

Just cos you can see the difference, doesn't mean it's anything special. Just about any sort of polish on that fence would have shown a difference.

"Grab a sponge- use some lemon scented dish washing detergent such as lemon fresh or $2 stuff from your favourite discount store."
*Cringe* yeah this bloke REALLY sounds like he knows what he's talking about - NOT!!

As far as the friction test that bloke claims he did with Meguiars vs Carlack - how unfair is that? Comparing a freshly polished surface to a surface that was polished who knows when? Anyway, how long does this stuff last - how long will it stay slick for? I would gladly challenge him to a proper side-by-side friction test that includes the product's longevity as well.

I've never used this Carlack stuff, but it appears you haven't either so I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that this is " ****ing awesome polish". The product may be ok, I dunno. Just because someone has written something on the internet, doesn't mean it's true. The only way to tell is to try different products yourself. My suggestion would be to stick to a more known brand which you know is going to work well, but if the OP wants to give it a try, then I spose that can't hurt either if he doesn't mind possibly wasting $30 and having to do the job twice. I personally have tried MANY different types of cleaners/polishes/waxes and have got the best results from Meguiars products.

The people who wrote the reviews on that forum are highly respected members, if you have a look at some of andrews (streetneats) work you will see he know's what he is talking about.
I personelly havent used the product, but i have seen it in action and seen REAL testimonials from peopl who have bought it to give it a go.
Im not telling anyone to go out and buy it, i just think they should atleast try it before they say its **** and doesnt work.
I would recommend it to anyone, have put family members on to it who are also extremly happy with the results, im yet to find someone who has used it and not been happy with the result.

For the record, I never said "its **** and doesnt work".

The OP asked for opinions and I gave him mine. At the end of the day, it's his call whether he tries it or not.
