Wax On, Wax Off at Presta Products

Otherwise, everyone would be wearing the gooey stuff.

Despite wearing protective aprons, the group decided that was very good advice.

The “group” consisted of BodyShop Business Publisher Scott Shriber, Editor Jason Stahl, Managing Editor Hannah Schiffman and Regional Sales Manager Don Hemming. Kahl was the product manager who guided the group through the application of a variety of Presta Products, including Ultra Cutting Crème, Ultra Cutting Crème Light, Ultra Polish, Swirl Remove and Hand Glaze.

Most of the group were rookies in the detailing application game but followed instructions and fared well. Shriber, a car nut and old hand at the game, observed approvingly at the group’s efforts and offered pointers whenever possible.

The five products the group applied are part of a whole buffing system and are each specially formulated to produce outstanding results on its own or in combination with each other. Each of the products’ names identify their specific functions and are color coded with a banner on the label to indicate which specially-designed buffing pad to use.
