Frank,

HOT DOG NO MORE WATER HOSES, WATER SPOTS, OR STREAKS/SMEARS!! We just want to THANK YOU for introducing us to Croftgate products!! THEY ARE FABULOUS!! We met you for the first time at Mustang Week 2010 (July 23, 2010) in Myrtle Beach, SC you were demonstrating the Croftgate Aquanil-X Waterless Car Wash (the pink stuff) on a BLACK mustang in the EXTREME HEAT OF THE DAY and you immediately caught our attention when over the crowd we heard you say "LOOK THERE ARE NO STREAKS". My husband and I look at each other and the first thing we thought was "YEA RIGHT!!", after all we had used 3 DIFFERENT products that morning on our 1994 BLACK MUSTANG GT and it was taking 3 of us to even TRY TO ELIMINATE THE STREAKS/SMEARS that these products were leaving on ALL OVER our Mustang. We were very aggravated and discouraged at this time our car still had streaks/smears on it and like I said even after 3 of us was working on it and it was just a very short period of time before judging was to begin. Then there you were with Croftgate Products. The answer to our prayers!! So we watched you demonstrate the Aquanil-X Waterless Car Wash, you would spray it on the car and NOT AT ALL in a hurry or at a fast pace would you wipe it off, you took your time and wiped it off with your microfiber towel and the ran a dry microfiber towel back over it, JUST YOU (NOT 3 PEOPLE AS IT WAS TAKING IN OUR CASE), and there was NO STREAKS/SMEARS!! I MEAN NONE!! So we continued to watch during your demonstration and then you wiped the windows with the Aquanil-X we were really AMAZED!! The you took your Tire Shine Tire Cleaning & Dressing product and did the tires and rims and they were not at all GREASY the rims and tires looked TERRIFIC!! If we would have done that with the product we were using the rims would have been smeared (product was by no means made for rims) and the tires would have been greasy and we would not have been able to drive it without slinging it all over the car!! EVERYONE KNOWS THE STORY OF TIRE SHINE RIGHT!! Well they need to try your tire shine NO MORE tire shine down the side of your car!! Then you went over to the leather seats inside the car and sprayed them with the Tire Shine and rubbed it in with your microfiber towel and they looked GREAT!! AGAIN IT WAS NOT GREASY EITHER!! Then there you go again, you did something else that blew our minds!! You took your hands and sprayed the Croftgate Tire Shine on your hands and touched the car!! My husband would have died if you would have done that with the products we were using!! But you took The Aquanil-X and sprayed it and wiped the Tire Shine right off the car with NO STREAKS/SMEARS AGAIN!! So we proceeded over to your display that you had and purchased several of your products and went over to our 1994 Mustang and went to work before the judging began!! The first thing my husband said was "Boy, I wish we would have had these products first thing this morning!! It's so much better and easier to use then what we were using this morning!! I can do this all by myself, I don't need 2 other people wiping it off as fast as I spray it on and going behind me like I did with those other products I WAS USING!!" So on our first trip to MUSTANG WEEK and to Myrtle Beach, SC we got introduced to the GREATEST AUTOMOBILE CLEANING PRODUCTS EVER and Thanks to them we won one of 3 awards given out by Croftgate and Primo Customs for Reflections of Mustang Week 2010, also we won Best Of Show 94-98 Mustang category (without your products we would have never had to a chance to take home both of these great wins!!) Your products made our car stand out with an AWARD WINNING SHINE!! Our 1994 Mustang Gt 5.0 HO Convertible still has the original factory paint and interior and it will NEVER have another car washing product on it but CROFTGATE USA PRODUCTS!! We are definitely sold on your products!! We are so sold on your products that we own Sparkles Car Wash & Detail Shop in Odenville, Al and we are going to use ALL OF YOUR PRODUCTS in our shop!! We purchased several of your products at Mustang Week 2010 and we came home and began using your products in our shop and we have had SEVERAL PLEASE CUSTOMERS!! All of the other products that we have been using (and like you said you have a dozen different ones for a dozen different things) for 8 years in our shop are definitely being eliminated and we are going to be going to a full line of CROFTGATE USA PRODUCTS!! We are so pleased with the Croftgate products that we want to become a distributor for Croftgate in Alabama!!

Thanks a Million!!

I tried the a sample pack from Croftgate USA not sure that it would work like said, I have tried many others out there and have always been disappointed, alway end up with swirl marks or streaks if the sun was out. Croftgate USA I'm now a believer I tried it today in the heat of the day over 95 deg and I spray it on and well all I can say is WOW it works perfect on streaks no swirls deep shine. As I'm using Aquanil-X on my car I am still waiting to be let down after doing half my 2007 Mustang GT Alloy Metallic in the sun and heat it has done such a great job that I had to get on line and order more. I have had a detail business in the past and used many different brands, NOT ANY MORE only 1 from now on CROFTGATE USA. This works so good I'm even thinking about starting up my detail shop again!!!

First off, thanks for everything this weekend, It was really cool to see a product work the way you yours does, and to see you work as well, your are a master salesman, and if I had someone like you promoting my stuff I would be way larger than what I am now, so Excellent work!


I gota tell you, before I went to Myrtle, I purchased $200 worth of cleaning products, Black Magic, Meguiar's, ICE, Armour All, Towels, etc... I even had to go to Bass Pro to purchase a $80 Duffel Bag to keep it all in so it wasn't all over my damn trunk. If I would have seen and known how well your products work for a car like mine especially with a wrap, I could have saved allot of money... I am totally sold on your products, especially seeing it work on my car, and tons of other cars at the show. As soon as I returned home yesterday, I put all the "Other Products" up in the Garage Cabinet that will never be touched, allot of them still Full Bottles and Brand new!. I only have Microfiber towels and your products in my car truck now...

Thanks to Frank and the guys "this product is amazing". I have been a CroftgateUSA user for over a year and will never use any other product to clean my car again. This product is #1 in my book. I used the product on my custom painted 2006 Mustang and just bought a 2008 Shelby GT 500 Mustang, in the worst color in the world to keep clean or clean in the first place BLACK and will continue to use the product forever. Thanks again WOW, Tom NY

I was a bit skeptical..I am just a "street car" owner. My brother Kurt Binkley is the car collector, Nascar man...etc... I just love my Jetta and take care of my cars. I am also very concerned for the environment. Well I bought a couple of the sample packs to test it out. LOVE IT. Will definitely have to buy regular size and maybe share with the Hubbs for his matching Salsa Red Jetta. Liked that I was able to stay out of the hot sun and wash my car in the garage (and it's a normal Michigan garage not the car collector garage). I need to learn how to take care of the bugs though. I will recommend this to our Custom Car Concepts guys at the College--bet they would love it, especially for shows.

Just Amazing, I was one of the first guys to try this product, (thanks Frank!!!) and now seeing Quick and Slick,@ I say again, "How are they gonna top this?". Frank and I cleaned the hottest Hummer in Ft lauderdale, in 110 degree blazing heat last year when AQUANIL-X was being tested, and let me tell you, we stopped everyone that walked by the beach. Keep your eyes on this product i predict Croftgate will top this again!!!!!!!!!!

Prologue: I've been a car nut and love the satisfaction of car detailing for years. My garage shelves tell one I've tried them all. Nothing holds "the candle" to these products though.



Last Sunday morning I woke up before my friends visiting for the weekend from KY. I was staring out the window with my coffee in hand at some of the DIRTIEST wheels on a Jeep Wrangler I've ever seen. My sampler kit had come a few days back and was just waiting to be put to the test.



I ran to the garage and grabbed the tire shine and a microfiber cloth (trained by Frank!!). I said, what the heck if this stuff doesn't work they aren't my wheels. With cloth and product in hand I saw everything go black before me (from the brake dust). I knew there was brightness there but could the tire shine do what Frank told me it would do?



I sprayed a good amount on each tire/wheel and waited a couple minutes. When I stepped around to the first wheel I was amazed, that black stuff was disappearing before my eyes. I took my cloth and thought oh this is going to be some work early on a Sunday morning - am I ready?? AMAZING, even for me - a very lazy person - this was a BREEZE. With really no effort whatsoever I had those wheels looking like they were brand new. As a bonus on the tires, the white lettering shined itself (I didn't even know they were there).



My only disappointment was - I cleaned my friends tires/wheels and not my own!! My 2010 CTS was looking at me with disbelief so of course (after another coffee) I shined those wheels up to where they could have been bathroom mirrors.



I couldn't stop there, the other products in the box were just begging to be used. A few mins later I had tried the PINK and the BLUE. Mind you, this is a 2010 (about 3 weeks old). I THOUGHT the dealer had done a decent detail....oh how wrong I was. I had to run in the house and grab the shades I had it so bright and shiny.



It has rained a couple times since then and the water seems to race off the paint and come back shining again.



Long story.....but I'm SOLD on these products. All those shelves of other brands going unmentioned will be donated to the garbage collection this next week.



Frank, you have never "steered" me wrong and once again your word is GOLD.



I now have a Shelby that I can't wait to wake up the finish. I'll post my thoughts on that later on.

When Master Power Brakes decided to launch the late model muscle car high performance brake line we needed a car for testing, advertising, and promotional purposes. The Flashback 70 Mustang was perfect because we were looking for a local car of that quality. We needed a car that would look great in pictures and the Croftgate Mustang, being a national award winner, was the perfect choice. Frank has been great to work with. He has worked around our schedule. We look forward to working with Croftgate in the future.



Master Power the best in high performance brakes and CroftgateUSA the best in high performance car care

Ordered a sample of the Croftgate product line. Only word I can think of that comes close to describing the end result is: "AWESOME!". It was simply unreal. At first, I was skeptical, just like alot of people, but I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did! The products do everything the bald-headed guy in the video says they'll do. Thanks again, Frank and crew for the "nudge" to try them. I'm a believer for certain! Anyone wants to call me and talk to me about these products, my phone number is 812-459-4310.

Just tried the waterless cleaner. Absolutely amazing. Best and easiest car product I have ever used. It's like a wash and wax in one. It was a little tough to apply today because of the wind so I was getting some over spray, but otherwise it was great. I'm going to try the spray on wax, then I'll send some pictures over. I don't think I'll ever use water again.

We took our Croftgate detailed '64 Olds Wagon to a Relay For Life car show this weekend. The first comment we would get from people is "Wow, I've never seen one of those before.....cool car." Then as they looked the Wowgan over, we consistently heard "Man, look at that shine! How'd you get it to look so good? Even the wheels and tires!" The little kids would say "Look Mommy, Daddy, I can see myself!" Our ride looked so good we are going to be featured in the next issue of Northern Michigan's Men's Magazine! Score another one for Croftgate!

We are using CroftgateUSA Aquanil in brass "Sure Shots". I am filling them with 28-30 oz of product. We are getting 6-7 vehicles out of one can. With what I normally charge and the fact that we empty 2 to 3 cans a day, we are making a better profit now then the old way and my clients are getting a nicer look with better surface protection!



Today I was from arrival to applying wax by machine in 30 minutes!! What usually happens is arrival, set up water reclaim, soap up bucket, fill it, rinse car, soap car, rinse, clay car, rinse, dry, put away reclaim. Typically an hour to 1-1/2.



Today was, grab sure shot and microfibers and wash, clay, wax!!

I have tried the gambit of waterless washes over the years. I orded the sample pack to assess Croftgate's effectiveness among the others I have tested. (I followed all the video tutorials by Frank Defeo). First off, Aquinil-X works extremely well and is completely safe. My vehicles imparted a noticeable gloss (swirl free)afterwards.It works flawlessly on windows (problematic on other waterless washes)and leaves no residue.

The real surprise is Quick-N-Slick. First off, you need a leap of faith to use this product. What I mean is that so little product is needed to produce incredible results. (2 sprays per section is all that is required). Quick-N-Slick produces noticeable results that seem to get better as the hours were on (bonding) and lasts for quite awhile. This is a revolutionary product. I do not say this lightly, as I have accumulated way too many products that claim to produce superior results. Quick-N-Slick actually produces these results.

The other products work quite well. the degreaser is ph balanced and effective.( p.s. I also followed Frank's video on using this product for my wheels/tires= fantastic results) The tire shine imparts a nice sheen(not overly glossy).

The sample packs are an ideal way to introduce your products to a sometimes skeptical public

We left at 4:00 am and drove through the rain
and bugs for 3 1/2 hours, to arrive at the F100 Nationals. Using CroftgateUSA
detailing products we had the car clean and looking good with in 1 hour. Of
course it rained later in the day and that evening while we were cruising,
which made the car a mess again. In less than an hour we were looking good
for the show the next morning. This stuff is awesome, no classic car owner
should be afraid to drive a vintage car when CroftgateUSA can clean and protect
it like it does...I am totally amazed.

Thank you,

Hi Frank,

When we started looking at companies for eco friendly waterless car care products we received samples from 2 other companies besides Croftgate. This weekend Patti and I put everything to the test. We detailed one Spitfire with Croftgate, and the other Spitfire with brand X. The difference in application and finish was certainly noticeable. Then we moved on to our Honda Element, which has a lot of black and gray exterior vinyl trim. We did half the car with Croftgate, the other half with the other products. Needless to say, we have to go back and do the trim with Croftgate today. The difference was night and day. Finally I went out to our '85 Chevy pick-up. It's bug season here in Michigan, and the front of the truck was covered with baked/dried on bugs. The truck hadn't been washe since we got home over a month ago. I tried both Aquanil-X and Multi Clean. All I can say is WOW! The bugs came right off with a single wipe! Patti finished things off by doing the tires on the Honda, and the tyres (that's how they spell it) on the '73 Spitfire. Gorgeous! And all of this took about as long as washing one car with soap & water, rinsing, drying, etc. And them all you have is a clean car, not a detailed one! Once again, WOW!

Thanks!

Thank you Croftgate. I finally have something that now REALLY cleans my car. When I placed my order, Frank called me personally to thank me for my purchase and that I would in shock once I used their product. He was right. I couldn't believe how well the Multiclean works. Instantly, bugs would wipe off my front bumper and mirrors. I have never had this easy of a time removing such things. I also used it on my wheels which are painted bronze. I have used everything to try to clean the tar stuck on my wheels, but there were these stubborn chunks and streaks that would not come off. I have literally had these stains on my wheels for well over 6 months. Multiclean removed it instantly. I have a dark gray Subaru Legacy SpecB and the Aquanil cleaned it right up. I haven't washed my car for over a month because I was moving. The rain and dust here in Sacramento made my car look nasty, but Aquanil worked perfectly. I am used to using other waterless products,but the difference is night and day. To top it all off, Quick-n-Slick finished the job. My car is smooth and slick again. It will rain soon, so I can't wait to watch it bead off my car. The tire shine is also a must. I haven't had any tire shine and or anything that was able to clean my tires for the longest time. But now after spending a little extra time cleaning the tires they look shiny and new again. I now will never use anything else. This stuff is great. Thanks Frank. I am very happy with the results and look forward to purchasing future Croftgate products.

I first want to thank all of you for sending in your testimonials!! Here is mine . My wife's 2009 EDGE sometimes takes a back seat to MY Mustang. Well it's been 2 weeks, I have been traveling and Kelly's car was covered in BIRD POOP!! She was NOT happy..... Well, early Sunday morning, I take out wash and wax(a new product) coming to a croftgate client near you. It is a product that takes 1 0unce of product to 1 gallon of water. Mix it together, dip the towel in , wash and dry (2 steps ) AMAZING !! Well, I used our wash and wax , cleaned the ENTIRE car , but the bird poop left those ANNOYING purple stains in the paint!! THANK GOD our paint is protected by Quick and Slick!! Those spots that we all fight were simply removed by our AMAZING Mega Polish...A few drops , NO elbow grease required removed those purple spots and the paint was returned to perfection!!! And all at the same time using NO hose and messy products !!! I want to thank CroftgateUSA for making MY life easier in the garage and driveway!!!

written by Logan Brunson , May 15, 2010

WOW! Talk about impressed... I have always kept and maintained an ARSENAL of cleaning products from Mothers/Meguiars/and various other big brand name providers for traditional care car products to keep my car clean and protected. I was one of those guys that could spend 7-9 hours detailing my car on any given Saturday to make sure it looked great. I had never used a waterless system before, and quite frankly I was very skeptical. But, it was a sample and I decided- why not give the products a shot? I wasn’t completely sure how to use the products, and I messed up. I gave feedback to the representative who contacted me and I promptly received a reply from Frank Defeo, which was impressive to me because he is such a big name in Croftgate, contacting me- simple little user of sample pack, and all because my feedback to them was something other than perfect. Frank contacted me personally on the phone, and he was adamant and would settle for nothing less than perfection, because he knows that these products work wonders if you do it right. After Frank went over the correct way to use the products, I went back out to the car, and here is where the wow comes in. I received my sample pack over the winter, and my car is too low to go into car washes, so I had a good 4 months of winter gunk built up on it. Just keep that in mind… You can all read or watch the videos about how versatile the products are, and that is extremely impressive in and of itself. For instance, the Aquanil-X will safely remove even MONTHS of built up winter grime from your paint, even behind the tires where the buildup is the worst, and leave a fantastic shine behind. Plus it will clean and polish that annoying black plastic with a beautiful even finish (which I could not even achieve with a product SPECIFICALLY designed for this purpose- Mothers Back to Black). If you sprayed any other product on your windows it’d be a nightmare to try to get the streaks to go away, but Aquanil-X will clean your windows like Windex instead! The shine and clean that it leaves behind speaks for itself. What doesn't is the staying power of the clean. I cleaned my car fully for the first time over a week, roughly 722 miles, an unusually and consistently large pollen count, and a whole weeks worth of rain, and the car has picked up only minimal dirt, less than I have ever seen in the 5 years of owning this car (which is saying a lot for a BLACK car). The tire shine is also awesome because it’s like a 3 in 1. 1- It cleans your tires. 2- It cleans your wheels. 3- It leaves behind an even shine across your tires that WILL not sling, because it’s dry. I have owned just about every form of tire shine you can buy, and they all sling, but this one really did not sling, because you can’t sling it if it’s not wet! And so on and so forth, anyone who owns these products can tell you how amazing they are.

I was able to achieve all of these fantastic results, and all the while saving approximately 140 GALLONS of water per wash, and using environmentally friendly compounds. I have also DRASTICALLY reduced both the size of my car cleaning product inventory (which is nice when your limited on space), as well as my car cleaning time (Which is nice when you don’t have enough of that either!) due to Croftgate. This saves me space, and by reducing the amount of products I have to buy, its saves me money. PLUS I am helping to save the environment, as well as my time- and can still make my car look immaculate. Not only do I love the products, but I love the company as well. They promptly sent me out a sample back, and they followed up with me to make sure I loved the products once I received my samples. When my feedback to them was something other than perfect, I was contacted personally by Frank (Who is a great guy by the way!) and wouldn’t settle unless it was perfect, because he knows that these products work wonders. Plus the customer service they is offered is spectacular. Frank has been super helpful and present throughout nearly my entire Croftgate experience. Take it from a converted skeptic- just give it a try! You will NOT be disappointed! THANK YOU Croftgate, and Frank for such a wonderful experience, from customer service, to company, to product- I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

What great, honest products! I have 8 cars in my collection most are black. I spend most weekends washing/waxing all day....until this weekend! It took me 15 min. to wash/wax my black Porsche Carrera 993, going from dirty to dazzling using the sample pack. I spoke with Mr. Frank DeFeo, one of the nicest gentlemen one could want to talk with, concerning a question I had cleaning alloy wheels. He returned my message by PERSONALLY calling me on SATURDAY FROM HIS HOME!!! Now that is customer CARE. These products REALLY work as described & I am now a lifetime customer.

We belong to the Poines of the Piedmont Mustang Club and during our last meeting Frankie came out to do a demo of the Croftsgate products....We are people that are extremely picky about what we put on our cars. Frankie picked a dirty Mustang and went at it and everyone in the crowd was just in shock to see when he sprayed down half of the driver side door and the difference was AMAZING to say the least. We are normally a Meguires and Mothers fan but NO more....we will never put any thing else on our cars but Crofsgate products!!! I have pictures to prove the amazing job it has done, not to mention the fact that it is saving our water that we are always short on due to many droughts...seeing is believing and after the demo it wasn't who could drive faster it was who could run faster to be the first in line to be the 1st one to own this awesome product. To the creators of Crofsgate and to Frankie for coming out to our meet and greet....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! We will need more soon everyone is bringing cars over to use our product to check it out. They will be sending in their own orders soon.
Thanks Guys....Great Work

I was first introduced to Croftgate products at Mustang Week 2009. Frank Defeo was demonstrating the full line of products on actual cars out in the showfield. Normally I'm not impressed by these types of demonstrations, but Frank really seemed to know his stuff, he was totally and genuinely enthusiastic about the products and he gave some great demos with the results right there in front of your eyes. He fielded every question from the crowd flawlessly and even when confronted by some diehard "other product" users he really put his money where his mouth was and backed up every claim that he made. The evidence and proof of the product was right there on real cars at a real show. His no-nonsense no BS approach really grabbed me, so I bought the package deal at the Croftgate tent for Mustang Week 2009. The package contained the Multi-Clean, Aquanil X Waterless Wash, Tire Shine and the Quick n Slick.

Well I got the car out of the garage in preparation for the 1st show of the Spring. I used the Croftgate products for the first time... and WOW I was totally blown off the planet. The Tire Shine was amazing, I used it on the engine (all the hoses and other plastic parts under the hood), tires, and every black plastic piece I could find on the car. AWESOME, smooth shiney finish but not greasy!

The Aquanil X and Quick n Slick was just insane! Best finish ever I have put on a car. And the time and effort compared to conventional wax and buff? no contest! Normally it would take 2 hours to wash, dry, wax, and buff the car... the Croftgate products cut that time to 30 mins! And it was so easy! You just spray the Quick n Slick on, wipe it down, BOOM! you're done. No more hard labor till your arms give out hand buffing hazy paste or liquid waxes. I'll never use another product on any of my cars!

I have 3 Mustangs and now I could wash and detail all 3 cars in the time it used to take to do just 1 using the "other product"

Thanks Frank Defeo and Croftgate USA!

I recently opened up my own mobile detailing business and was searching for cleaning products to buy when I came across the waterless wash by Croftgate. Like everyone else I was skeptical at first so I ordered the sample pack to just to try it out. After watching the demo videos and even talking to Frank personally, I had the perfect car in mind. My brother moved away for school about 5 months ago but the car was already dirty when he left. In those 5 months his car has been caked with pollen and dust, several animals left 'droppings' in various spots and cobwebs were growing in places I didn't even imagine possible.

After about an hour the car was ready for a car show. The rich and deep shine the car once had many many months ago was now back. Even the wheels and tires were shiny with a gloss that had not shown since they were brand new. Besides looking absolutely beautiful, the best part is that the entire car was done in under an hour.

Frank and the amazing products from Croftgate definitely made a believer out of me.

Jeff, The great detailing job you did with your products was amazing. We definitely impressed our neighborhood of car enthusiasts. We couldn't believe that it took you 20 minutes to detail our car, when it usually takes my sons 2 hours working together. My oldest son is eager to introduce your products to his fire department, and my youngest son has already talked to his youth group about a waterless car wash. They should be able to raise a lot more money since they won't have to limit their car washes to locations that have water sources. We are all excited about trying your products on our boat. We all dread detailing the boat; but I expect it will be a breeze with our new cleaners. Thanks for saving us lots of time while making our cars look amazing. Nancy Simons

Jeff, Your great detailing demo with Croftgate products was a hit in our neighborhood of car enthusiasts. We couldn't believe that in 20 minutes you accomplished what it usually takes 2 of my sons 2 hours to achieve. It looks a lot better too, but don't tell them. My one son is eager to introduce the products to his fire station, and another son has talked to his youth pastor about having a car wash using them. Not having to use water will enable them to have a car wash in a high traffic area because they won't have to worry a water source.
Our cars look so great that we can't wait to try your products on our boat. We'll write more about that later. Thanks for introducing us to a huge time saver that makes our cars look like new.

I just wanted to stop by and comment about your product. After 25 years of detail cars and winning numerous awards at car shows I am amazed by your product. It took me a while to realize how easy and productive your product works. I would take at least 6 hours to prep a car for shows, but with croftgateusa its easier to ...work and I getting better results. It took me a couple cars to really comprehend how much less work it was and how much deeper the color is, glossy the paint feels and how the metallic just popps out of the paint. Special Thanks to Frank D, which was in constant contact with me, answered all questions and is a real Pro. CroftgateUSA, I be placing a order and uploading images of my stang within a week. Thanks again.

Ran into Frankie and Mike at a car show in Mooresville, NC. Like most people these days I was skeptical. After watching a few demos on other folks cars done by Frankie, I decided to let him hit my Lamborghini Gallardo. After just minutes the shine popped like I had never seen it even with the high end wax products my detailer uses on it. What really triped me out was how well the same stuff works on glass and rubber....My detailer always used glass cleaner and newspaper to get flawless glass. This stuff is a miracle on glass!!!! My Lamborghini is never really super dirty (never seen rain) so it makes an easy example. But trust me I watched Frankie tackle very dirty vehicles for his demos with amazing results. Finally a product that does what they say it will do, thats hard to come by!!!!! Thanks Guys......

Seeing is believing, I watched about every you tube video, read all the comments that people have left. So I had to try it for myself. I bought the waterless car wash, and the quiken and slick. This stuff is the best I have ever seen. I live in Washington state, and it rains here alot. I work around paper mills so there is stuff in the air flying around. I put this on about 3 hours ago, and had to go up town, in the rain. When I got to were I was going the car was dry! The rain water just runs right off, you would not had known it had rained. I did not even use the wipers cause it just ran right off the car. Thanks Frank Defeo, and Croftgate USA. Great stuff!!!

I was introduced to Bob and Frank of CroftGateUSA last weekend at the Myrtle Beach Car Show as Frank had "fired up" his Mustang and Bob was packing the truck to leave for the day. I grabbed Frank to give him a hard time about his shiny Mustang telling him that I had just got my shiny red 2010 Camaro RS. He more than quickly exited his car to show me how he got the shine and clean results by using Aquanil-X waterless cleaner.(I call it their pink cleaner) I put some trust in his products and accepted a few samples to try on my new Camaro. I am now wowed with the pink cleaner, blue cleaner and tire/wheel shine! I even use the tire/wheel cleaner on my POLISHED ALUMINUM wheels per Franks "ok and safe to use on polished aluminum"
Having a brand new Camaro, I am very hesitant to clean/detail my car with just anything. This stuff is the BOMB...
FRANK AND HIS HYPER-OUTGOING PERSONALITY DIDNT SELL THE PRODUCT, THE PRODUCT SELLS/SOLD ITSELF...

I've been a long time Zaino user. Matter of fact, the only car finish products I've used on my stormy blue mica MX-5 are Zaino. I was intrigued by the concept of the waterless car wash when a friend of mine showed me a demo one afternoon.
I was impressed, but worried about using a product without water on my car and if it could REALLY clean it without scratching the heck out of it.

Guess what? It actually worked!
I bought the products and I'm really impressed with the results after Quick N Slick!
I can't wait for my up coming car show! I think this "daily driver" is going to get some high marks!

After our latest big snow I ordered the sample pack. Came in just a couple of days. Told the wife to stay out of the garage I was going to clean both our rides with no water...her comment "yeah right" Two hours later here comment was "what did you do to my car? how is that possible" One word from me Croftgate. Love the products. To all you people who do not believe....step out of your comfort zone and do something different. You will be surprised how well it works. Officially a customer for life.

I spent hours cleaning and polishing my car at a car show at Trader Marc's, getting ready to be judged. Every time I thought I was ready, I would see something else. Frank saw me working with my car, and came over and showed me how to use foam brushes instead of qtips. I always like to learn better ways to clean my car for shows, and I really appreciated the help. People don't always want to fool with a sixteen year old kid -- it was cool that he wanted to help. This is my second year of shows, and I have gone through a lot of products to get everything the way I wanted it. I figured I finally had the best -- and I was wrong! A while later, Bob came by and showed me CroftgateUSA's products. You wouldn't believe the dirt that came off of my clean car! Frank did the tires and they weren't a bit greasy, either. My Mustang rocks! They even gave me an award for my "detailing spirit". This stuff is great!

Went to a fantastic car show this past weekend in Ft. Mill, SC., put on by Koss Motorsports. I want to thank Frank Defeo for spending so much time with my son, showing him how to better clean and shine what -- we thought -- was a perfect show-ready vehicle. My son is absolutely obsessed with his Mustang, and spends HOURS working on it! The gentleman next to us, Tim Spivey, also helped him. They both were impressed by his effort and care, and shared that with me. As a mom, it really made my day for someone else to notice -- and to care enough to share their time and expertise to help him get even better results for his efforts. I would never have believed CroftgateUSA's products were any better than what my son was using if I had not seen it for myself. A very clean car shined even more -- it looked like new! Better than new! Trust me, making that car look better than it started was not easy, but I saw it with my own eyes. It has been three days and the car and tires still look like they were just done. Better yet, I don't have to buy near as many products or remember which brand is the best for what job. Simple and fantastic! Thank you!

We met the guys at a show in Fort Hill, Sc. I had never head of the product but, the people that were putting on the show told me to wait to detail my car when I got to the show. I was very surprised at how well this product worked, and so was my wife. We were sold instantly. I bought 1 of every kinda product that they had. We also got first place with our Cobra. Please note, our Cobra is black on black, which as you know is very hard to keep clean. The next day we returned home, and we decided to clean the car that my wife drives every day. This is a 2010 mustang GT. It had not been washed in 2 weeks due to the weather. We cleaned the car with no problems and absolutly no water. It looks great. Just wanted to let you know how happy we were about using the product. Thanks again, Tim & Karen Spivey..

WOW! WOW! WOW! These products are truly amazing. Like most people, I was a little skeptical not only of the products but slightly scared of Frank's exhuberance over Croftgate. I can tell you, both are genuine! It's like the rain and snow bounce off the windshield and car as much as Frank bounces off the wall with enthusiasm. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?

My parents and I met Bob at the National Mustang Racer's Association race held in Concord, NC in August of 2009. We were impressed with the product so decided to purchase a few items. We were extremely impressed with the products and started using them exclusively on my race car. I have received numerous compliments on how the car stands out in magazine articles and on video. We have continued to use the product on our other cars without fail. My tow vehicle is a black truck and never has it looked better. Through the harsh Midwest winters, the truck still beads. I have tried a long list of other products on the market from low end to high end and have to say this product actually does what it advertises. Its well worth the price...thanks again for persuading me to try Croftgate..you have another loyal customer.

Great I talked to Rick the other day and I am really interested in getting some products to sell, even if not I am sold on your products I will not go back. I actually took my truck found the puddle and wend through them, keep in mind this is my garage queen. Pulled it back into my garage went to sleep got up the next morning and started cleaning. No scratches and the shine is second to none when it comes to waterless. All the plastics look brand new no white residue left over. It was easy quick and environmentally friendly. IMHO A++++++ product. My wife’s car still looks great after many inches of snow (she doesn’t get the garage J) and three weeks of daily driving a little touch up and all clean and shinny.

Frankie. Thank you so much for your expertise and showing me those fantastic car products. I can't believe the difference you made on my car and we haven't even detailed it yet. Can't wait to let you work your magic on it. All I can say is you might as well put your Mustang up cause my bad boy Z06 is going to put it to... shame. LOL. Seriously, my car looks better now than it's ever looked. I'm really glad to find someone who knows what they're doing and products that do what they're suppose to. It's a pleasure knowing you.
Thanks again. Randy

Have you ever been told your product is to good? Well, we had that problem at Daytona. We cleaned both Mike Skinner and David Starr's trucks before the race and they looked great,but the #81 (David Starr) got caught up in a crash on the first lap and needed repairs. We use a product called Bear Bond paper to tape large amounts of damage, it is basicly tar paper and would rip off two layers of skin if you get it stuck on you! The problem we had...IT WOULD NOT STICK! We heated the paint with a propane tourch and still WOULD NOT STICK! After a few tricks we had success, Croftgate Quick-n-slick is exactly that. Thanks Guys...I think?

hi rick. Well the product blew my mind! I really didn't think it would work this well. I've been working as a proffessional detailer for a couple of years, and have never seen anything like it. I actually though it looked better with the aquanil then when I polish it(wich takes about 5-10 hours).

by Noah Dixon (Waxplus/Integrity Works Nationwide, Inc.)

On the West Side here in LA Ca. Please believe that it is just a matter of time before these awesome products find themselves flying off of the shelves of every Car Dealership, Detailers Supply & DIY Consumer platform here in LA.

We are proud to promote Croftgate\'s products but not just for the unique and second to none results that can be achieved by using these marvelous products, but for the fact, that this product is long overdue here in Los Angeles. Please allow me to explain. As I look out of my window right now, there is plenty of rain, and even though we are receiving above average amt\'s of this much needed precious resource for this year, California is still struggling with a drought.

Croftgate\'s products have helped WaxPlus & Los Angeles achieve our part in \"HELPING\" the water situation here by \"Being Water Wise\" as the slogan goes here in Cali. (http://www.bewaterwise.com/)

Not only will it help reduce the amount of water we use this year to clean vehicles, we will also be doing our part by implementing eco-friendly practices by NOT releasing deadly HARMFUL CHEMICALS into our Neighborhoods, Communities and not to mention the ENVIRONMENT!!!!! These SAFE & EFFECTIVE products are very much needed here TODAY in Los Angeles and abroad!!

So with that being said, we reach out our hand to join your efforts in helping the environment one vehicle at a time!!!!! From the streets of Los Angeles to the White House\'s Garage, \"WE CAN\" Make a difference.

I own and operate a mobile detailing service in Charlotte,NC. I exclusively use Croftgate USA Products because they are the best. This week I washed a few cars that were covered with road salt and grime. I was not surprised that the cars looked great after I was done. When I am detailing a car I have many people stop and watch me in amazement. Croftgate USA is the leader in the industry. I have tried all the other waterless products out there and Croftgate is by far the best.

Sent with permission from Mr. Phil Laskowski of The Greater Greensboro NC Area

First off, I want everyone to understand that I do not work for this company in anyway shape or form, and I do not recieve anything from them for posting this.

I recently found a detailing company called CroftgateUSA, and let me tell you. I was a bit skeptical at first when I was first introduced to there website, but decided to order the $2.00 sample pack. I've had the package about a month as cold weather was limiting me getting out there and testing it. But I finally got around to doing it this past friday. Here is what I posted to the local rep.

"All right here is my take on the Waterless wash and Quick-N-Slick. First off I have a 07 Shelby GT500. Today, I decided to take a spin in it for some work I had to do in Asheboro, and with the intent of getting back before the sun went down as it was nice today and warm enough for me. First off you have to understand that I take very meticulous care of this car. When I got home I got on the internet and looked at your web site as I wanted to make sure I doing things properly, so I could report back to my take on this.

So here it is. After viewing your videos on the website, I took the bottle of Waterless wash and place it on the hood of the car in a place that I believed it would slide off. It did not slide off. I took a dime I had and did the same thing with it even giving it a slight nudge. It didn't move either. I did this same thing on the roof of my car as well. Next I used the Waterless wash on both the hood and the roof of the car. I did notice a lot of streaks after I applied it, and was worried as I've seen them before with other applications I have used, and it took me a whole lot of buffing and time to remove them. Yours did not, it was relatively simple to remove, and get a complete clear and shinny hood and roof. So now I tried the bottle and dime trick again. Sorry to say, it slid off both of them, but that does not mean to say that I didn't like what the waterless bottle did, I thought it worked great. But again understand that I take very good care of my car. (Quick example is every spring it gets clay barred and then several coats of wax, and buffed out). So now I tried the Quick-N-Slick, Same results in applying it as I saw streaks all over the place, but again very easy to buff out. Now came time for the bottle and dime. Yes the bottle slid off, and I might say, a little bit faster then I thought it would, and the dime, I'm still looking for it in the yard... Impressed, yes.. Greatly impressed, not really...

But after I got done with this, there sat my 05 Explorer sport track. That thing has not seen a was job in 3 months, but it as well as the Shelby and my wifes 09 Fusion, do get a cleaning in spring and a wax job as well. Just not that meticulous as I do the Shelby. So I thought what the heck, starting to get dark out about this time so I just did 1/2 of the hood. Did again the same with the bottle and dime before doing anything. After cleaning the hood with the Waterless cleaner, the bottle and dime slid nicely off the hood. Next came the Quick-N Slick. The bottle hit the dog in the head who was about 3 feet from the truck, and now I'm down 20cents.

So how would I rate your stuff. Very well in both catogories. For people who maintain there vehicle like I do the Shelby, it's a give me to use your products, as it cuts time in half. For those that are lazy and want a nice looking vehicle, but don't want to put there time into clay barring, waxing, and buffing there vehicle, I would highly recommend your products to them.

I recieved the sample kit a couple of weeks ago and tried it on my 2007 SL550. The car was filthy and 25 minutes later it looked better than it did when I took delivery. I was just amazed! Next I did my 2008 BLACK E350- again like new- the black is the deepest black I've ever seen- looks like velvet!



I did the leather interior with the tire shine and bingo- again like new. I've ordered the leather cleaner and creme and can't wait to recieve it.



Also- I bought a stainless steel refrigerator about three years ago- Hate the thing, it shows every fingerprint and always looks terrible. I paid $80. for some super fancy stainless product which didn't work at all. I thought , what the hell, I gave it a try with the waterless carwash and it came out wonderful- I then put the clean and slick on it and am amazed- this is a refrig. I was going to dump because it lookled so bad and now it looks new.



All my shoes look like new and I even cleaned my computer screen and navigation screens-

If you are thinking about trying these products I can tell you you'll LOVE these products!



I always wash my own cars- they've never seen a car wash and I can tell you- these products are the best and I know what I'm talking about!

Just got done reading your newspaper article in the Statesville Record and Landmark about the South Iredell Volunteer fire department. After reading the article, I was very curious about the waterless products and decided to take a look at your website. After viewing the video clips on the website, I decided to order a few of your products to try at home. I thought to myself, if the local firemen are so impressed with these products and trust them, then I should at least give the waterless products a try. Thanks for getting the news out!

I was given a sample of your Leather Cleaner from Bob Minessale and can't tell you how pleased I was. I gave him a hint I'll pass on to you, when you are showing this product made sure it's in the reflection of the sun or light it will show the leather just absorbing the polish.

Ok folks, I purchased the waterless carwash and the tire shine @ the easyrider's bike show on Sunday and cleaned my mercedes clk 500 on monday. I then called Frank and asked him two questions. First, can I use the product on my windows and second, what do I do with all the car cleaning products that I will no longer be using. Although I did keep my carwash bucket because my wife has a Nissan Pathfinder and I can stand ontop of the bucket to reach the top of her SUV.

written by Van Womack , January 12, 2010

If you would have told me that I would be using a product to clean my vehicle without water, I would tell you that you were crazy! I have been a professional detailer for years having operated a detail shop at a dealership and a mobil detailing company. I have used just about every car care product available over the counter and most of the commercial cleaning products on the market. I have been using CroftGate's products now for several months and can honestly say that they are absolutely the BEST car care products on the market! The results that these INCREDIBLE products give are so far superior to what other "car care" products give or "claim to give", I would put CroftGate up against any of them without reservation!

I met Frank DeFeo while trying to sell him some advertising, but instead I was sold on CroftGate. Being a very detail oriented car enthusiast I always like for my car to be clean, but my work schedule kept me so busy, it had become almost impossible for me to keep it detailed like I wanted...that is until CroftGate came along.

My Saleen is a darker color (Wild Strawberry Metallic) and it has always been difficult to get the common swirl marks out from cleaning and polishing. Even though you would only see them when the sunlight hit it just right, it drove me nuts! Aquanil-X and Quick & Slick have ELIMINATED these swirl marks. I have never had the clarity and depth of shine that these products have given. Along with the amazing finish that these products give, they leave NO residue on plastic or rubber and is the best glass cleaner I have ever used (no streaks!). The fact that it only takes minutes instead of hours to detail my car is a big plus as well.

The Tire Shine is equally impressive! This stuff melts road grime, brake dust, and road kill off wheels like butter in the hot Florida sun, but safe enough to use on my aluminum wheels without leaving a greasy film, spots, or streaks. Also, Black is Back! My tires have a deep black natural finish with one coat and with a wet look with a second coat. I also like that if i get this tire shine on the paint, it just wipes off with no greasy film or streaks!

The other products that CroftGate offers are just as incredible. If you don't believe it, try for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed, just be prepared to be impressed. I am confident that you will be so impressed you will do what I did and throw away all the other "car care" products that you have now. CroftGate, all I can say is thank you!

Sincerely,
Van
North Carolina/Florida

written by Steve Griffith , January 04, 2010

All I can say is wow! The videos are impressive, but they don't nearly say enough about this product. You truly do have to see it to believe it! My 2006 Corvette is my daily driver, so avoiding dirt and dust is impossible. And though I enjoy detailing the car to keep her looking top notch (as seeing a dirty car just makes me cringe), I usually had to set aside quite a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday just to clean it. Washing, drying, getting out the air hose to blow all the water out of the wheels/doors/mirrors/lights (etc. etc.). Which seemed tolerable in Southern California. But NOT in the winters of North Carolina! I was told to call Frank, given the website. Initially my thought was "yeah yeah, every major detail product in the world says how great their stuff is, I'm not reading or hearing anything I haven't heard before." But what the hell, free samples, can't pass that up. Considering anytime some big "new and the best" detail product came out, I'd buy it to see the results. Anything from the good ole Pep Boys and Auto Zone to way overpriced waxes and quick detail sprays from overseas. Hey what can I say, I love my car, it deserves the best!

The verdict...blown away! Air hose to blow out water? Never again! Water spots from drying? Don't think so! What a waste of time to wash AND dry a car only to have to use another product afterwards to remove water spots. The Quick N Slick was after my initial wipe down with the Aquanil-X. That got me! Once or twice a month I would spend hours putting on wax, taking it off, brushing out dried wax from the crevices, blowing off wax dust. This stuff is just amazing...my paint is smooth as can be and it took me minutes to do the entire car, not hours! I even did the wheels with it...which waxing was near impossible with 3-piece wheels...and after a drive there's virtually no brake dust sticking. Oh and not to mention no water flying out! Anyone with 3-piece wheels (or even drilled/slotted rotors) knows the hassle of cleaning the damn things and getting all the water out! Waterless washing that outperforms the well-known competition? Who would have thought? Surely not me until I gave it a shot. I had a decal inside the hatch lid of a product that I'd been hooked to for the last few years. Though I won't mention the product name, I will say that a few days ago I took some goo-gone and tossed that decal in the trash!

I do have one complaint though. Where was this stuff 10 years ago when I was detailing cars at a car dealership? I could have convinced them to pay me more and get rid of the other guys! Seriously! The time saved is just astonishing! I wrote a ton but still feel like I haven't expressed how impressed I am. You've just got to try it for yourself...what do ya have to lose with a free trial pack right? Hell that's how this all started for me!

I received my samples from you, I was still not sure about waterless car wash so I started on my daily driver, and was it dirty, after cleaning with aquanil-x and applying quick-n-slick the car looks great I'm sold.
thanks guys for a great product plan on using it on all my cars

AWESOME product. I have been a gear head my entire life and believe me when I tell you that I have tried/used every car care product that has ever hit the market. I mean everything, from the lower end PepBoys/Target/WalMart/etc consumer items to the ultra high end exotic car dealer products from all over the world. The CroftGate products are far and away the best that I have ever had the pleasure of using. The ease of application and the end results stand head and shoulders above everything else on the market today. If you are as serious about the appreance of your as I am you must try this stuff.

It's AMAZING!!! I finally got to clean the Mustang this week, and was amazed how awesome this stuff works. The only problem was that the sample bottle wasn't enough to finish cleaning the car. I had to resort to finishing the car with some Mothers Detailer spray that I had left over from when I claybarred my truck. THERE IS NO COMPARISON!!! You could immediately see and feel the difference. At least I had enough of the Quik-N-Slick to fix the mess that the Mothers made.

My wife wants me to pick up a bottle of everything, so I'll be making an order sometime REAL SOON. Thanks for putting out an AMAZING group of products.

There's a car club here that puts on a HUGE Hot Rod car show every fall. Ya'll should see about coming out for it. There are entries from ALL OVER the country, so you'd be sure to get the word out...

Hey Guys just wanted to drop another line. I went to work this morning to clean a couple cars, got there at 8:10 and started washing the cars with Aquanil-x, The lady of the house came out and informed me that her husband had to leave by 8:45 and she had to leave at 8:50. I had 1 guy with me to help so he started on the inside while I continued on the exterior. Well we finished with both cars at 8:43. If I was still using water theres no way I would have been done with even one of the cars let alone both. As all detailers no time is money so the faster you can work the more make. I'm so glad I found this product, I would have lost money this morning if it wasn't for Aquanil-x, These were S-class Mercedes also so they aren't small. The owners were grateful I was able to finish in time for them to leave. Which means they'll be calling me again. Thanks Croftgate you rock

I ordered it and it came frozen! Yes I live in the Chicago area (rotton place). Called to ask what will happen when it thaws, I was told it would be just fine. Well IT WAS!! Very impressed car looks great. I will let you know in a couple of weeks after the salt and stuff work on it. Easy to work with great results. Need a distributer in a cold lousy climate??

Frank, Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know just how pleased and continuosly impressed Trish and I are with the Croftgate line of products. It is still amazing to me how in just under and hour I can have the most beautiful detail job INSIDE & OUT! There are not many times that products live up to the advertising hype that we as consumers are saturated with on a daily basis - BUT - not only does croftgate do exactly what you claim, IT EXCEEDS IT! I have been turning people on to the waterless wash ever since being introduced to it at the All Ford Show in Charlotte back in November, and they all end up shaking their heads in utter amazement. Several have already requested your sample pack and have vowed to order more! Trish's Mustang is still shining bright after a month, even after all of the rain and cold weather we have been having lately - just finished the 4th Christmas Parade today and the cars have never looked better - Thanks so much, Eric & Trish ( Ponies of the Piedmont )

Frank came to my place of business and washed my car in the parking garage with NO water. The car was absolutely sparkling when he finished. There were no scratches and it seemed to take longer to get dirty again. Did I mention that when he washed it, it had gone weeks without cleaning and had sat at the airport for 8 days while we were on vacation. It was a mess! Thank you Frank and I will be ordering the product. I am truly impressed!!!! Mary

Since July '09 I have been to a few car shows where the CroftgateUSA guys were demoing and selling their products. Like everyone else that loves their cars, I was skeptical of their Aquanil-X waterless car wash... until i seen demos on several classic and new Mustangs. I figured if those guys would let it be demoed on their classic cars, then I would definitely try it on my '04 GT. Bottom line is this stuff truly works WITHOUT scratching your paint, WITHOUT streaking and it leaves the smoothest, shiniest finish on your paint in a fraction of the time that it takes to wash, wax, etc. And that is before you apply the CroftgateUSA Quick-N-Slick to seal and protect your paint. As far as the car's interior, CroftgateUSA has you covered there too. Their Leather Cleaner / Leather Cream will breathe new life into your seats and make them appear like new again, while the Multi Clean will remove EVERYTHING from carpet stains to tar/bugs on your paint. I believe in their products so much, I ordered their sample pack for the sole purpose of showing a bunch of friends and to spread the word about CroftgateUSA, but other than that I'll buy their stuff as long as they produce it.

I met Frank and Mike today in LA at a toy drive. I had spoke to Frank a week earlier to tell him how much I enjoyed using the Aquanil-x. I detail cars in San Diego so I was excited to drive up to LA to meet them. I have been using the Aquanil-x for about six months to detail cars and the first time I used it I was blown away by it. I had a great time walking around with the guys demonstrating the products with Frank and Mike. The car owners were asking if I worked for Croftgate, it was great telling them that I drove from San Diego just to meet them and that I was a user of the products and thats why I was there. There are many water restrictions being enforced in California and knowing that I'm using a biodegradable and waterless product is great. I dont have to worry about being fined by the EPA because nothing goes down the drain. I plan on using these products for a long time. Thanks again Frank and Mike for making your way out to the west coast.

I first heard about Croftgate at the Goodguys show in Charlotte, NC. I had worked on getting my '67 Chevelle shined up for 5 hours the night before and then it rained all the way there. I was not ready for that exercise again! I wanted to be showing, not shining. That's when my friend Kevin Bryde introduced me to Frank and Croftgate. He wanted to do a demo on my car. He sprayed the Wash & Wax right over all the road grime and dirt and began to wipe. I nearly freaked! WHOA YOU'LL SCRATCH THE PAINT!! He replied trust me. It was hard to watch at first, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing, the car was beginning to luster like never before, he went over the chrome, the glass, everything! It was effortless. I could literally feel how slick it made everything feel. I replied...GREAT ANOTHER SILICONE...he replied...No silicone. The Tire Shine leaves no residue on the side of the car, the Quick & Slick practiclly iliminates dust and fingerprints, and its all easy to use. Before he was done, hot rods were lining up to get their's done. I was so impressed that I brought it to work with me to Randy Moss Motorsports. (Camping World Truck Series) We shined up the primary Phoenix Truck and what a difference! The crew chief wanted to know what I used and where to get it. THANKS CROFTGATE, THANKS FRANK FOR INTRODUCING IT TO ME!

I first heard about Croftgate products at a car show at a church. There was a gentleman there with a mid 90's Corvette that was detailed unbelievable. The car shined over and above all others. I asked him what he used and he told me Croftgate and he gave me the website.

Several weeks later I went to a car show at AutoBarn Classic Cars and Frank and his team were there advertising the product. They demo'd several cars including my '41 Plymouth Street Rod. After they were done, I could actually see the difference. I have used several other manufactures products but did not get the shine that Croftgate gave.

What really made a believer out of me was that there was a car show at Hendricks Motor Sports the following week. I always cover my car in the garage between shows. Frank asked me not to cover my car and don't touch my car until I arrived at the Hendricks show. I could not believe it. My car had no dust on it. I looked just as good as it did the week before.

I did not have the cash available to purchase the product at the show so I ordered the product several days later from the website during their FREE SHIPPING promotion. My wife says that will be my Christmas present. I couldn't be more happier. A new Croftgate customer forever.

As a member of the CRMC and MCA I was lucky enough to meet Frank at a club meeting. At the time we were driving the same cars. Torch Red Mustang GT's. I kept looking at Franks paint wondering why his Torch Red looked so much deeper and had a level of shine I had rarely seen at the best of indoor car shows. Frank took me aside , showed me the product line he was using. I bought the products at Franks suggestion. The next weekend before a local car show I got out his products to clean and detail my car. Blown away! I called my family out to look at my car. The paint was deeper , thicker in appearance and had a high level of shine. The products went on easy , came off without smearing. Thats a personel pet peeve of mine is smearing upon removal. Not with these excellent products. I have since had three friends who don't drive show cars use Croftsgate USA's products on daily driven cars with the same outstanding results and long lasting shine and protection in a fraction of the time of most 'over the counter' products we are all used to. I give these products a sincere recommendation. If your considering trying something new , which may be why your here reading this. Don't consider , just place your order. You won't go wrong. Eco-Friendly , Easy to use , Economical. The three E's of Croftsgate USA's products in this consumers opinion. Oh Yes , add one more E....EXCELLENCE!

Croftgate China participated in the Guangzhou Autoshow from November 24th to 26th, we had a 72 square meter stand showing all our Croftgate products. On the stand we had a 3 year old Audi A6 on which we demonstrated the use of all the Croftgate products. This car was in the same condition as most cars driven around the world, with dents and feather scratches, i.e. not a showroom car. We did this on purpose, as we wanted to show what the Croftgate products can do on a regular car.

Most of the visitors were sceptical about the concept of waterless car washing, until we showed how the Aquanil X product is to be used, once this was done and the results obvious, most were convinced of the effectiveness of Aquanil X. Tire Shine and Quick n Slick were easy to show, as results were immediately visible, quiet a few visitors walked away having purchased both Tire Shine and Quick n Slick for use on their own cars.

We now have a lot of follow-up to do over the next couple of weeks, as we met many potential customers, especially from other provinces in China, such as ZheJiang, JiangSu, Hebei (TianJin), BeiJing, ShangHai, and Hubei.

On the last day of the show we did a complete detailing of the Audi A6, starting with a good wash using Aquanil X, followed with a detailing clay treatment, again using Aquanil X as the lubricant. After the detailing clay treatment, we finished the detailing with a Quick n Slick coating. On the inside of the Audi A6, we detailed all the leather seats using Leather Cleaner and Leather Cream, as well as Interior Sheen on all plastic surfaces.

As the car now appeared spotless and in almost showroom car condition, the most amazing thing started to happen, many visitors started to take photos of the car, or asked their children to pose in front of the car, for photos, and this was of a 3 year old car, not a new model, like all the cars being shown around us. It just went to show, with a good detailing using Croftgate products, even an old car, can be brought back to optimal conditions and can compete with newer models.

Croftgate China is on its way, and the Croftgate products are now available in China.

Purchased Multi-Clean, Aquanil-X & Quick-N-Slick from website. Service was excellent - fast & accurate. Have now used all 3 of these products & all of them do a GREAT job! They are the "best of both worlds" - i.e. they are very easy to use and they give you excellent results. At last, you don't have to break your back to keep your car looking good (and you're helping the environment at the same time). If only these products had been available years ago!

I drive a truck for R&L Carriers during the week and detail cars on the weekend. Frank introduced me to the Waterless Carwash and the Quick and Slick a few months back. I was amazed at how well the products work. I took some of the product to Daytona during Biketober Fest and about 20 guys at the hotel use the product on their bikes. All were amazed at the results and said they had never used anything like it. They got the website and were going to order it and use from now on. Thanks Frank for introducing me to this product. You have made my job a lot easier. Jeff

I have known Frank for well over 10 years and we have cleaned a lot of cars. Believe me when I tell you, if it has to do with cleaning a car and Frank DeFeo says it is the best, well it's THE BEST! I have used nothing else since Frank introduced me to Croftgate USA Products nearly a year ago.

The Aquanil-X is easy to use and the results are second to none. Tire Shine cleans wheels and tires...Awesome. Quick n Slick, what can I say? It is simply amazing how a small amount of product can perform like that and the Multi-Clean will clean anything! I Promise you will love this product!

One of my favorite things about the product is the reaction of people during a demo. The look on their face is PRICELESS!

I am proud to be in the Croftgate USA Family and driver of the Croftgate USA Mustang. I would like to thank Rick Sures and Frank DeFeo for allowing me to be a part of an outstanding organization!

I'm a girl and I love to wash my car now! I always put it off because I hate pulling out the hose, bucket, soap, etc. Especially if it's the least bit chilly. Now, I just spray it on and my car is clean! I washed my car in a McDonalds parking lot one day! It takes me MINUTES! I keep bottles of CroftGate in my car and just "spiff" it up whenever I feel like it.

Hey my name is taylor and im from Mooresville NC.

one of the guys who works? i think for Croftgate lives in my apartment complex and i always saw him outside washing his car so i asked him about it. I have had several friends buy his product and they love it. He also washed my car tonight with all croftgate products and it looks absolutely AMAZING. I have a 2004 Pearl white lexus is300...I havent gotten a chance to really wash it in weeks and had dirt and bugs all over it. Literally with almost no effort everything came off, usually would take me hours to do. Everything really works, no gimmicks. this is some amazing stuff and from now on, will always use it. It works, and you definitely get what you pay for.

written by Jim Harvey , November 07, 2009

I bet you could call me the \"King of the Skeptics\" so when I wrote you earlier On October 24th,2009 I was very skeptical of the claims that you made for these products. I had said referring to your then videos \"this is all fine and good, but all the examples you show are done on cars that are already clean (almost spotless). the tire cleaning video shows nothing as the tire and wheel are very clean. How does this product work on a car with \"real\" dirt?\"

Well, when you\'re wrong, you\'re wrong and I am now not only a believer, having seen the results for myself, but I also have sent you some photos of a couple of cars that really put your products to the test. My son has a detailing business and if I tell you that we have spent literally THOUSANDS of dollars on cleaning products, then you can appreciate it when we can find products that not only work, but work BETTER than other more costly products.

The Aquanil-X simply has to be seen to be believed. The results that you attain in 1/4 the time of conventional cleaning methods is literally beyond description. And I\'m talking about DIRTY CARS.

The Quick-N-Slick is the cherry on top of the Aquanil-X sundae. Clients just go crazy when you let them feel their paint jobs after a Quick-N-Slick application.

The Tire Shine works like a charm, releasing stubborn brake dust and leaving a very nice (not overly glossy) shine on the tires themselves. You don\'t need to wear a respirator and gloves and eye protection with this product (and believe me, I\'ve used products where those measures were necessary). For 95% of the tires and wheels that you\'re likely to encounter, this product is all that you need for excellent results on customer\'s wheels and tires.

The Multi Clean is a sleeper. It works nicely on bugs and tar, but it also works as an amazing wheel cleaner. If you have a particularly dirty rim, spray the Multi Clean on it and you can watch the crud drain off the rim right before your eyes. Again, nothing to scare you or alter your DNA when you use it.

I haven\'t tried your leather conditioner as yet, but that\'s on my list.

The photos of the Denali that I sent to you shows just what a fantastic job these products do.

I\'m a confirmed believer now. Thank you for a simply incredible group of products.

Well, got the Quick-N-Slick and could not wait for this weekend to try it on my V star 1100 Silverado. I spent the day Saturday and Sunday detailing the bike in my warm garage since the weather here was cold and rainy. I got it looking RIGHT. I uncovered the bike about an hour ago and began using my Quick-N-Slick!! It feels like there is 1/4 of an inch between my fingers and the fenders and chrome. Forget that..the shine was just unbelievable ,the paint just popped and the chrome looked 2" thick. Wait till the bikers find out about this stuff.. Can't wait to see what happens with the bugs now.

Rick and Frank,

I've been around the automotive industry all my life and have never used products like these and their Incredible. I've gotten more response on how clean my truck is since using the products for the last three weeks then in the 8 years of owning the truck and all my contacts and friends now how clean I keep my vehicles. I need to send you some before and after pictures of a friends Volvo that has not been washed in over a year, I recently just used the Tire Shine to clean one wheel and rim and and Aquanil-X to clean and protect the hood only, I had to stop because the difference was unbelievable and wanted to share by submitting pictures of the before and after which I'll send to you soon.

I hope to get us going in the DFW Texas area soon !

Thanks

I used the Aquanil-X on my Black PT Cruiser and took a drive to see my son in Columbia,SC. A man walked up to me and asked me what I used to clean my car. I told him Waterless Car Wash. Of course I told him CroftgateUSA. If I can have a stranger walk up to me and ask what I cleaned a 2003 PT Cruiser, just think what would happen with a show car!! BTW I use it on my 2005 V star, everyone thinks it is a new bike!!
Just received my Quick-N-Slick order and can't wait for this weekend to try it on all my toys! I will post a comment on that product next.

As you know we participated in an open house last Saturday 24.10.09, the location was Dongguan, which is about 1 hour from our office. This open house was arranged by the "Professor of Cars". Apart from us, there were four other companies showing different products. Each participant was allocated 30 minutes to show case their products, with the "Professor of Cars" talking about the benefits of each product, during this 30 minute period.

As we were the first to arrive at the location, we actually got almost 1 hour to show case our products to all the guests. There were about 30 guests at this open house, and all were interested in the "waterless car wash" principle, and all were impressed with the performance of all our products.

One guest brought his white Toyota Terios (small SUV), it was supposed to be white, however, due to extended exposure to the elements and poor car washes, the surface of the car was actually more black/grey than white. This guest had just had the car washed at his regular car wash on the same morning, prior to arriving at the open house. He asked us whether we could make his car white again. We used the Croftgate Multi Clean, and after only one application of the product, all the dirt and oxidation which was on the surface of this Toyota, was removed, and the original white car paint reappeared, all we used were Croftgate Multi Clean and Microfiber Cloths. The customer was amazed, so amazed that he actually continued to wash the entire car with Multi Clean, and subsequently with Aquanil X. This customer had repeatedly asked his regular car wash to remove the surface dirt, oxidation and grime, only to be told, "if you want this done, then you need to buy a polishing job, regular car washing can not remove this surface dirt, oxidation, and grime". Well, we proved this not to be true!

Having shown what we could do with Croftgate Multi Clean on the outside of the car, we turned our attention to the engine, on this Toyota the engine was quiet dirty. We applied Croftgate Multi Clean, and wiped down the entire engine, after having wiped down the entire engine with Multi Clean, the engine was clean, we then applied Croftgate Tire Shine, closed the hood, and left the car alone for about 10-15 minutes. We then opened the hood and a clean and sparkling engine appeared to lots of Oh, Ah, and Vow's from the guests. We had just show how easy and quick it was to clean a dirty engine, the whole process took about 5-10 minutes.

During the rest of our allocated time slot we continued to show the performance of our products on various cars, all with great effect. As the open house drew to a close, several customers came up to us and expressed interest in buying and using our products, all in all a successful open house.

Frank Defeo came by our shop yesterday to give a demo of the product to our bosses and used my '00 Mustang GT as the test car. I was truly blown away. I had just washed my car that morning before coming to work and Frank proceeded to wash the drivers side front fender and drivers side rear quarter panel, the difference was AMAZING. I was blown away at the difference between the door (which I had washed myself that morning)and the front and rear quarter panels. This product REALLY does work as advertised. All of us were so impressed that Keisler Engineering is now a distributor of this product!!!!

I used the waterless car wash on my '09 lexus with great results. It took off everyday road grime, bugs and a unidentified gak slung up off the tires. Another great thing about the waterless car wash is the fact that it does not leave any kind of residue on plastic or rubber trim. I also used the wheel and tire cleaner the same day I washed my car and the whole wash start to finish took about 20 minutes. I am sold!

中国广东番禺汽车护理开放日 2009年10月17日

2009年10月17日星期六，我们参加了由好友陈先生在中国广东番禺筹备的汽车保养开放日活动。我们示范了Aquanil X无水洗车液、Tire Shine轮胎清洁上光蜡、Multi Cleaner多功能清洁剂，以及Quick n Slick快速镀膜液的使用。在中国，无水洗车仍然是个新概念，我们可能是唯一一家推广这一概念的公司。许多客户对于我们是否能够利用我们的无水Aquanil X产品真正清洁车辆都存在疑虑。

汽车养护专家陈锦明工程师（简称陈工），有意30天未清洗他的日产天籁汽车，只是为了测试我们的无水产品。车辆全身非常脏，尤其是铝合金轮毂，其中有大量刹车粉尘及其它路面浮尘。

当我们在轮胎和轮毂上使用了Tire Shine轮胎清洁上光蜡之后，刹车粉尘立即开始溶解，甚至在我们开始用超细纤维毛巾擦拭之前，你就可以真切地看到刹车粉尘和其它浮尘开始从轮胎上滑落。很多客户惊叹：“哇，甚至还没擦拭，灰尘就被去除了”，正如您看到的轮胎清洁前后的对比照片，利用Tire Shine轮胎清洁上光蜡，可以轻而易举去除刹车粉尘和其它路面浮尘。

完成轮胎和轮毂清洁后，我们开始使用Aquanil X无水洗车液清洁车身，再一次，顾客们对于如此轻松就清除了车上的尘埃和污垢感到难以置信，而且，他们真的非常喜欢Aquanil X无水洗车液的二合一功能，亦即清洗和打蜡同步进行。当我们清洗完整部车辆后，每位顾客都上前触摸和感受，并且对（车表面的）高光泽度惊叹不已，很多顾客说“用水是无法实现这种光泽的，而且，用Aquanil X无水洗车液洗车简直太容易了”。

陈工表示：这是真正的无水洗车，还有打蜡效果，不伤漆，比传统洗车更具有优势。绝大多数客户在离开时都表示了对无水概念以及使用此类产品的浓厚兴趣。

在10月下旬，我们会在东莞召开另一次公开体验日活动，再次向您展示我们的产品。


Saturday 10/17/09 we participated in a car care open house arranged by our good friend Mr. Chen, in Panyu, Guangdong, China. We demonstrated our Aquanil X, Tire Shine, Multi Cleaner, and Quick n Slick. The waterless concept is still new in China; we are probably the only company promoting the waterless concept. Many customers were skeptic whether we could actually clean cars using our waterless Aquanil X product.

A couple of customers, driving Nissan Teana cars, had purposely not washed of cleaned their cars for 30 days, just to test our waterless products. The cars were really dirty, especially the aluminum rims, with plenty of brake-dust, and other road grime.

As soon as we applied our Tire Shine to the tires and the rims, the brake-dust immediately started to dissolve, and before we even started to wipe off with our Micro Fiber cloth, you could actually see the brake-dust and other grime start to run off the rims. Many customers exclaimed, “WOW, even without wiping it is coming off”, so as you can see on the before and after photos of the rims, with Tire Shine it was really easy to remove the break-dust and other road grime.

Having finished with the tires and rims, we started on the car body with Aquanil X, and again customers could not believe how easy it was to remove the dust and dirt on the car, plus they really liked the 2 in 1 action of Aquanil X, i.e. wash and wax in one action. After we finished washing the entire car, everybody came to touch and feel, and were surprised with the high gloss, many stating “using water we can not get this type of shine, plus it was so easy to clean the car with Aquanil X”

Most customers went away very interested in the waterless concept, and expressed huge amounts of interest in using the products.

In the near future we will participate in another open house in Dongguan, and shall revert with the results from this coming open house.

Today I had the car out and it was one of the rare occasions that I had the top up. While I was getting gas a guy came up and thought I had a replacement top that had just been put on earlier today. Had a hard time convincing him it was the original top. Once I had him convinced, all he could say is "Whatever you treat it with is some AWSOME STUFF".

Croftgate Tire shine...Great for more than just tires.

My name is Ken Manzo, along with my two brother I own the Brownstone in Paterson NJ. Frank Defeo was at our place a few months ago and he cleaned the front quarter panel of my suv, when I went outside to take a look I couldn't believe my eyes, it never looked that clean when it was brand new. A week later it was just as clean, it looked funny cause the rest of the truck was dirty. I must say you are lucky to have a guy like Frank Defeo on your team, beacause of him I will forever buy your products, his kindness and energy is amazing...Ken Manzo

We at Keisler Engineering are very excited to become the first Tennessee distributor for the CroftgateUSA products. Frank, the "Pied Piper" of waterless car cleaning demoed the product for us at the Corvette Expo in Sevierville, TN and we sold out of product within 3 hours. Our bad for not bringing more product to the show. We will have the product on our web-store beginning next week (www.keislerauto.com).
Thank you Frank for your support.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Frank DeFeo at the Corvette Expo in Sevierville, Tn. He was cleraning a showcar in the parking lot that had road grime all over it (It was raining off and on during the show). When he sprayed the tire shine on the rubber AND wheel of the car, I thought he lost his mind, but seeing is believing! The chrome wheel shined like new and the rubber looked great. I watched him use the Aquanil X on the hood of the vehicle and it made the paint look like glass! I was so impressed, I was going to buy the product immediately, but Frank sold out in no time! I've placed my order online and can't wait to get my hands on your product. Impressive!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!
My wife and I have watched Frank demo his magic pink fluid on several occasions and still walked away with some reserve. After finishing second at several shows, we saw Frank again at Auto Fair in Charlotte. He gave us the 'You will WIN shows when you USE our products' Guarentee!! With his money where HIS mouth was, we purchased Aquanil-X and Tire Shine. ** I need to qualify something. WE have an orginal '69 Z/28 Camaro, Cortez Sliver w/Black stripes. This is NOT a 'Badge' car... this is the real deal. Magic fluid and Black... never a good combination.** Now back to the testimonial.

This Product is OFF the Chain SICK!!!! We take 35 minutes to Aquinil-X the entire car, including glass, hit the tires with Tire Shine, and WIN First Place in our Class the very same day!! STOP! Where is Frank? How is this possible? Was he judging this show? NO!! He knew better, and took his red Mustang to another show across town. Are we believers? You bet your Shiny - - - we are!! Frank... Who luvs ya baby? Jeff & Mona

CROFTGATEUSA的产品非常好用，真正的无水洗车，而且还有打蜡的功能，非常容易使用。
无水洗车无疑是洗车届的一次创举，不但可以节约大量的水源，还为节能减排作出贡献。
今天在一台黑色奥迪A6上试过（5分钟完成），效果简直就是立杆见影，非常光滑，车漆无丝毫损伤。
希望尽快能在中国生产，为广大车友带来便捷。\"The product is fantastic easy to use, wash and wax in one go, when you do an Audi A6, which was wax treated 2 weeks ago, you can still see a big difference where our Aquanil X has been used. This is really a waterless product. Hope it can be available in China within a short period of time\"

Greg Sullins, Owner & Collector of Investment Quality Cars

Listen, if you are reading this you probably are a car guy just like me. You are most likely very proud of your ride and take great strides to keep you car looking its best. I’ve been a collector and auto enthusiast of new and vintage cars all of my adult life. Yes, I’ve used about every cleaning and shinning product on the store shelves and others that you can’t buy in a store. You know I’ve always known and heard the most difficult thing to keep clean is your “car” – well now that has changed thanks to CroftgateUSA’s 3 simple products.

First, whoever heard of a waterless wash – not me -- well when you go to car shows and cruise-ins you don’t usually have access to water. Well who needs it with the CroftgateUSA’s Waterless Wash. This was the first product I used and I could not believe the simple stray on and wipe off approach. This was so easy that it makes you want to go drive your car, get it dirty and just clean it again.

Well, I thought that was it. The car looked good and I was very pleased. Wrong! Frank Defeo said, hold on a minute and try CroftgateUSA’s QUICK-N-SLICK. He said just spray it on an area and buff off with towel. WOW…good quickly became great. I thought the car had just been painted as this stuff brought out an incredible shine and was as slick as glass. Then Frank pulls out what I now call the “finishing touch”. Croftgate calls it Tire Shine – that is an understatement as this solution provides a simple to use product for your tires, wheels, engine compartment, you name it…

To be honest, I’m still a conservative guy and I asked Frank to come to my store and use the Croftgate products to detail two BLACK Shelby cars – one from 1966 and the other from 2006. I figured if Frank could do his magic on 2 black cars with paint from different time periods I would be 100% convinced. Frank arrived today at around 1:30 p.m. and in less than 45 minutes he said come here I’m done. I said you are kidding right – both cars – WOW…Unbelievable…and a few other choice words like Holy S… I did not know these cars could look that great. Seriously, give Frank a call…if you want results with the least effort and time…Croftgate’s 3 simple to use products have you covered...

I recently attended a car show and the guy next to me pulled in with a hopped up Mustang. As soon as he parked it the radiator hose exploded and scalding hot water and antifreeze spewed all over the hood and front fenders of my car. Frank Defeo was there demonstrating his waterless products. Frank and his crew came to my immediate assistance while the guy parked next to me left without as much as an I'm sorry. With the use of his Croftgate products the finish on my car was saved without any damage. These products are just amazing. I still haven't heard from the other guy but see Frank pretty regularily at car shows around the Carolinas. Since using Croftgate products regularly on both ot my Stangs I have received some awards at various shows. I don't think it is a coincedince. I think it is the product. Keep up the good work Croftgate. Look forward to using your products regularly in the future.

READ THIS!!!

I had the pleasure of being introduced to the aqanil-x and tire shine about a month ago now and my short story should give you an idea of the level of excitement I reached after using them.

I drive a car with very difficult wheels to clean, the rims on my car look like spider webs, with the multi spoke design. Sure they look great when they're clean but it takes a lot of elbow grease and patience to clean them thoroughly....so I thought.

Two weeks after it had taken me over two hours to clean my wheels using a makeshift device I created so I could finally stop scraping my fingers (a towel wrapped around a screwdriver)a good friend of mine invited me to his body shop. I had no idea what I was going down there for, I just knew to stop by for a chat. When I arrived he took one look at my car and said "GREAT!!" (it was dirty) and asked me what I would think if he said he was going to clean my car better than any car wash I had taken it to only without water. I laughed and said: "I'm going home". Less than thirty seconds later he had done one half of my hood and I could not believe the results!! The part of the demonstration that BLEW MY MIND was when he sprayed the wheel/tire shine on my wheels and simply wiped the rims with ease to a shine I hadn't even seen after two hours of scrubbing, scraping my fingers and screaming. I mean, I literally had taken pics of my wheels with my cell phone of how great a job I had done on my wheels and showed him...Initially I was angry that it had taken me two hours to acheive inferior results. However, after I came down I realized that I had just witnessed a demonstration of a product like NO OTHER. Believe me...THIS STUFF IS THE REAL DEAL!

Croftgate!!! This technology significantly simplifies the detailing process. You absolutely cannot achieve these show stopping results, in this amount of time, with this amount of effort. It's all I will use on my personal and customers vehicles. Congratulations to Frank and the entire Croftgate team!

Why carry around a trunk load of crap, when you got all you need in 2 bottles. Just think no more sorry water spots. Frank showed me the light. When I left the car show I must have run over a wad of bubble gum. That stuff was all down the side of my car and I mean all. When I got to the house, I sprayed the pink wonder on it and it was gone and clean.

Imagine years ago someone telling you they were sending an invisible signal through the air that will come out of your little black box as music miles away! You can't hear, see or feel this invisible signal but it's real. Sounds pretty crazy, eh - hello radio. Hello waterless, natural, plant based wash & wax, tire & wheel care and general cleaner. This product line is beyond the scope of a few words to express how powerful they are. I own a mobile detailing business and will put these products up against anything on the face of the planet; I will use nothing else.

You wouldn't think that a 1987 Cadillac could approach "showroom new" ever again, but Frank and Croftgate have turned this old car into one big, shiny beast!
And waterless?? Holy cow, grab this product and run immediately to your driveway!
The gleam it will put on your vehicle with the minimal time invested make this worth every penny....thanks Frank!

I was heading out the door this morning and sat my drink on the roof of my car as I was getting in. I looked down for a second to open the door and put the things I was carrying in the car and BANG! My drink hits the ground. A casualty of the slick exterior complements of Aquanil-X! :0) This stuff will put the slickest exterior coating on your ride that you've ever seen.

written by Bob Minessale / Rich Zactulove , August 14, 2009

Rich Zatulove and Bob Minessale (Croftgate of the Carolinas) want to thank Frank Defeo for the most energetic, enlightening and informative training session.
Franks knowledge of the Croftgate line of products is nothing short of amazing. The only thing that is better than Frank is the quality of the products. From the Muli-Clean to Aquanil to Aquanil X to Quick and Slick and Wheels and tires you can take a car that has been neglected for months and make it look "showroom ready". And it takes under 30 mins! We saw it with our own eyes! Four cars in less than 2 hours while showing and explaining each product.
Thanks to Frank Defeo for his time and knowledge. Also to Croftgate fo having the best auto detailing products we have ever seen.
This will give us just one more reason to be proud of our association with Croftgate USA.

I've been using Franks awesome line of detailing and cleaning products for a little over a year, I have tried just about everything within reason to keep my 05 Mustang looking as good as possible ( Eagle one, Meguiars, Hotwheels, Biz etc..) But, I can honestly say " I haven't found anything better then frank's products". The best part is the simplicity and almost effortless application to produce a brilliant looking shine on my car. The tire shine also produces very impressive results on anything you apply it to, Dash, wheels, tires and I even use it to clean in the honeycombs in my grill and wipe my window seals inside and out and the best part is no white residue left on any rubber or plastic. If you try the Croftgate line you will never use anything else, I Haven't!

The REAL Deal
written by SW , August 10, 2009

Croftgate delivers! I have been involved with car washing and detailing for over 20 years and have been on the "waterless" (bad name), system for several years with multiple locations. So many products promise results and deliver decent results... but nothing produces results across the entire line like these products with un-paralleled results.

I have tested and used every major brand and this is the best line of products I have ever utilized. No one can match this performance and results, NO ONE! I have no doubt this line will be the premier product line in this industry. Get it now before your competitors do!

Keep up the great work team Croftgate!

Tire Shine
written by James Sipes , August 06, 2009

Sent Frankie an e-mail tonight about the tire shine. I've been using the tire shine on the tires and Frankie convinced me to use it on the chrome wheels too. Well tonight I had the top up on the vert which is a very rare occasion and I noticed how my black top had a grayish look to it. I took the tire shine out of the trunk and shot a small spot to test it. I couldn’t believe it. Before I knew it I had sprayed and wiped down the whole top. The top probably looks better than it did when Ford put it on the car coming down the assembly line. It has a glossy black look. I almost hate to put the top back down and hide it but hey, it is a convertible.

Awesome, awesome product line!
written by Linda Antweiler , August 05, 2009

I simply must add my endorsement! True statement - Frank DeFeo knows cars. So when he told me about his new product line I was excited to try it out because he never tells it any way but the way it is. I have a silver SRX that is 5 years old and if you saw it driving by I am positive you would think that it is brand new. It looks that good!! And to cap it all off you get this amazing result with very little time and effort. Sound too good to be true? Yes it does, but give it a try. Sometimes miracles really do happen.

What a great product!! I have used three times and am still amazed at what black paint looks like with this cleaner. The beauty of it is I am not patient enough to find a coll spot to apply and it doesn't matter. Can be applied in direct sun!!
I wish Frank great success with this!!

As part of the research and development testing process it was to no surprise that your team at Croftgate would have a home run with this product. I spent the last several years doing my own research to find a waterless product that I could use and also add to our product offering with integrity. We service detailers from all over the world and I'm more then confident being able to share with them a product like no other. Wow, after 30 years in the industry this is truly a first and I've found that this product is by far the best I've ever seen developed, one of the best water smart solutions ever to be produced. My hats off to the team at Croftgate for a job well done. Some of the best things in life are worth waiting for! This was one of those times...

What can say other than WOW. These products are amazing. I own and operate a waterless detailing service in Charlotte. Frank let me test the products on some of customers cars. They were all pleased. It took me 15 minutes to clean the outside of Benz E500 black in 95 degree weather. The product does not smear or smell bad. Trust me iI used all the other waterless brands and this by far is the BEST!!!!!!

what really got me bout the product was being able to use it anytime anywhere especially on a black car have to becareful of what to clean a black car with. the other product i use always said use in shaded areas only not in direct sunlight with a black car thats kinda hard to do it just attracts heat no matter where its parked so cleaning it was always a problem but the Aquanil-X that Frank used on my car in direct sunlight worked perfectly fine and the important thing didnt scratch or leave any swirls in the car which is always a pain on black cars. i was very impressed by that especially earlier in the week i spent bout 2hrs trying to clean the car up for mustang week and didnt do a good job cause i had no shade the other stuff i used evaporated before i could really use it, but not the Aquanil-X Frank took the paint temp and was up to 160 degrees and still worked perfectly fine and tire cleaner was also great alot easier then using a tire cleaner then a rim cleaner. the shine lasts a long time also been a few days and the car is still shining even the rims no brake dust on them. thanks for the awesome product.

We are so grateful that Frank approached us and it was a pleasure to meet you (Rick)! Eric actually took a pic of his car at a local show near our home in NJ after driving 13 hours back from SC. He wanted to show you how BEAUTIFUL it looked after driving all night and we went straight to the show after an hour or so sleep. We went through a horrible hail storm (managed to get the car under a bridge before the hail hit) but had water and debris from driving. My husband thought he would wash the car for the show and we said "NO". We got to the show after driving all night and Eric took out the waterless products and simply amazed my husband! We told our body shop friend about it and showed him how it worked and said the car was truly awesome and the products were incredible. My husband mentioned he'd like to get more of it already and we barely made a dent in the bottles we have! ha ha! He placed 2nd in the show only because it is locals and based on how many of your friends are there and who they vote for. Not a big deal....we know his car was the best. The real car shows he entered in the past year, he placed 1st where there are "real" judges. It was nice chatting with you and your wife and look forward to seeing you again at another event! Don't forget, my son will be back in 2 weeks for school and my brother-in-law lives in Mooresville! He lives on lake Norman actually in Troutman. Frank mentioned to Eric that he could use Eric's car as a test car when he needed to so just let him know. I'm sure he will make a visit to your shop or wherever you guys are work on cars!

Thanks again! Keep in touch!

Wow- the Croftgate line is the best. I am extremely impressed by these products. I used the Aquanil-X on my black CTS and was amazed. I do not normally take car of my car, that's my husbands job, but when Frank showed me how quick and easy this product was, I said well let me try it. Not only is it easy to use, IT WORKS.

Simply Amazing
written by Dana Phillips , July 28, 2009

I own a black Nissan Altima that like most lazy people I used to simply run through Autobell. NEVER AGAIN! I had Frank demo the Aquanil-x on my car in the middle of a hot parking lot at about noon. You can imagine how hot a black car in the middle of the day in direct sunlight would be. Everyone knows that you shouldn't clean your car in direct sunlight, or so I thought! My car now has a shine comparable only to high speed machine buffing and it was done with nothing but Aquanil-x and a micro fiber towel! No water! I was simply blown away. There IS NO OTHER PRODUCT THAT CAN DO WHAT THIS STUFF DOES. I find myself "demoing" the product to everyone I meet! Try this stuff and you'll never wash your car with water again!

Signed,
A happy customer sold on your product!

I have been extremely impressed every time I see the croftgate line in action. I have seen everything from the waterless wash and wax to the water based car wash products. Absolutely unbelieveable the way the products work. From ease of use to how long they last, Croftgate definately has this segment of the market figured out. AND the best part is the fact that the products are environmentally friendly and will not hurt your whatsoever. Bottom line is that Croftgate cares about their products and cares even more about the people who are using them.

Great job guys. Can't wait to see the next step in the company!!!!!

written by Chris Graham , July 14, 2009

I recently had my 99 Ford Mustang cleaned by Frank DeFeo. It was supposed to be a white car but no matter how much I cleaned it always came out more of a yellowish color and not so much white. So I took it to Frank DeFeo and when these guys were finished I was totally amazed. They took a car with ten year old yellowish white paint and gave it the brightest whitest shine I have ever seen. It seriously looked like it just came off the show room floor. These Croftgate waterless carwash products are amazing. I have already contacted Frank to purchase the whole product line. I am sooo happy with the way my car looks now and believe it or not every where I go i get compliments on how immaculate my car looks. Thanks agian Frank and Croftgate. IM SOLD on Croftgate and if you have never tried it i encourage you to give Frank DeFeo a call and let him make a believer out of you as well.

I am only TOO happy to write an endorsement for Frank Defeo, and his waterless wonder. Frank has been taking care of myself and my business partners for years, but he has reached a whole new level in speed, convenience, and low-impact on the environment. That he can make my ten-year-old, 270 thousand-mile truck shine like new just flabbergasts me every time. I am an enthusiastic fan, and joyfully recommend Frank, and croftgatesusa to everyone who wants their ride to look showroom new again.

Waterless car wash:
Would I have thought it would work, no. Frank then proceeded to make my wife's Tahoe (black no less) look like it drove off the new car lot. I was amazed to say the least. This waterless car wash works. I know everyone out there is like me, you want your cars & trucks clean but don't have the time. This stuff works & does it faster than getting a bucket of water out like the old way. Water is the old way, Croftgate waterless car wash is the NEW way. Try it, I did & that is what we use at our shop.

Croftgate leather products
written by James Sipes , July 14, 2009

I've had my car for 2 years and had not put anything on the leather interior. Told Frankie I needed something for the leather and he hooked me right up with the leather cleaner and interior sheen. I used it on a small section of my seat and asked my wife to take a look. It made such a difference my wife picked out the spot right away. I immediately applied the products to the rest of the interior.
