It's official...Werkstat is in SA!
After a long wait and countless e-mails back and forth, I can finally announce that Mobile Image has secured the distribution rights to the Werkstat range of products and accessories Clap

As many of you know I am a long standing fan of the Werkstat Acrylic sealants, especially on white and light metallic paintwork. As a result of this I will initially have the Acrylic kits available, along with some of the accessories. Further products from the range will possibly be made available at a later stage should there be a demand for it.

Pricing is still TBC but the 1st shipment was collected by my freight agents today. Hopefully by Wednesday I will have all the relevant info and can put together the pricing and intro specials, etc Thumb


For those unfamiliar with the Werkstat acrylic series, the following 3 core products essentially make up the acrylic sealant kit...


Prime Acrylic

[Image: detailpas.jpg]

Description: Nano-tech enhanced poly-acrylic paint prep and protection formula that cleans, polishes, and protects for uncompromising shine.

Packaging: 500 ml with Dispensing Cap

"While the standard Prime is wonderfully balanced between all of its functional requirements, we wanted to push the formula further toward the acrylic sealant aspect. Prime: Acrylic maximizes the content of acrylic polymers for improved durabiity while maintaining the ease-of-use that Prime is known for. This formula is tailored for the detailer using Prime as a stand-alone, all-in-one cleaner/wax rather than as a basecoat for further layers. (Although even as a basecoat, a little extra durability never hurts!) This characteristic is particularly good for areas like engine bays and door jambs where a multi-step process is impractical but where durable protection is important."


Acrylic Jett: Trigger

[Image: detailajt.jpg]

Description: The superior shine, durability, and protection of Acrylic Jett in a 3rd Generation spray-on, wipe-off formula.

Packaging: 500 ml with Trigger Sprayer

"For a while now, we've been wanting to advance our famous Acrylic Jett formula in an even easier, more sprayable direction. It sounds simple, but to do so while maintaining the same high concentration of active ingredients was a challenge that required re-assessing the specific blend of polymers. Instead of an obstacle, though, we took this as an opportunity to also explore ways to make the product even wetter and slicker.

This is the result: the 3rd Generation of our Acrylic Jett formula, which we affectionately call Trigger!

Like its fraternal twin--the original and much-loved Acrylic Jett--Trigger creates an exceptional wet gloss coating. Its purely protective formula allows easy layering over itself, over original A.Jett, or over Prime. The beauty of our acrylic polymer blend lies in its outstanding optical properties. The ultra smooth coating reflects low-angle incident light for crisp, clear reflections while the coating's high refractive index allows higher angle light to refract into the surface for improved depth of color. And, the light transmittance of acrylic polymers exceeds that of even optical glass, ensuring that the beauty of your paint will be revealed with unobstructed clarity.

But Trigger offers much more than a pretty look. The same durable Jett polymers create a film of exceptional protection. Powerful UV blocking agents prevent fading and sun damage while the base polymers resist degradation caused by acid rain, heat, pollutants, and detergents.

Application is a breeze. Trigger will not stain trim, works in a broad range of temperatures, and can be applied with nothing more than a quality microfiber towel. It won't build-up residue in seams and crevices and can be used on most any hard exterior vehicle surface.

Don't confuse Acrylic Jett: Trigger with a mere quick detailer. This is a fully functional, independent paint sealant. But, it is so easy to apply, you may find yourself using it as a booster wax between full detail sessions. Trigger provides excellent results on all paint colors, solid or metallic, single stage or clearcoat.

A favorite product here at the Werkstat, we think it just might become your favorite, too."



Acrylic Glos

[Image: detailag.jpg]

Description: Streak free auto detail spray safely revives the sparkle in paint with our exclusive acrylic polymers.

Packaging: 500 ml with Trigger Sprayer

"The only Detail Spray with the Polymers of Acrylic Jett.

Equal parts car wash and spray sealant, Werkstat Acrylic Glos allows light surface residue to be wiped away without scratching while exclusive polymers rejuvenate the protection of Acrylic Jett.

Formulated in the Werkstat to be fast, streak free, and safe on all non-porous surfaces, Acrylic Glos indefinately extends the brilliant wet gloss of Jett for a freshly detailed look without the work.

Designed to be used over surfaces protected by Acrylic Jett."



On the accessories front I have brought in a limited number of the plush detailing towels as well as the waffle weave drying towels for those who dislike the plush type dryers. Aside from that I have a few bottles of Prime Strong and Satin Prot included in the shipment to play around with some more.

The M-FIBRE Plush towels are one of my favourites for applying the Acrylic Jett and Glos products, as well as for removing other LSP's. A couple of the regulars on here have used these towels and will no doubt bear witness to their quality and plushness Thumb


M-FIBRE Plush Towel, 16x16

"The M-Fibre Plush Towel is one of those rare microfiber products that is so luxurious, you can't help but hold it to your skin. Your bath towels will be jealous! But, this towel is made specifically to pamper your vehicle.

What makes this microfiber towel special?

One. An ultra plush weave, twice the depth and thickness of our previous generation of plush towel. Both front and back feature the same deep pile.

Two. An astounding thread count that creates a dense concentration of liquid absorbing fibers.

Three. Quality construction with a soft hemmed edge and a tagless design.

This is the ideal towel for quick detailers like Glos and waterless washes like Quick Wash. The plush weave prevents dirt particles from being pushed against the paint while the convenient size and identical weave front and back allow you to continually refold for a clean section of towel. Complete an entire vehicle with a single towel.

Likewise, the M-Fibre Plush towel makes a superb drying towel. The dense fiber count and deep nap absorb high volumes of water with each pass. The manageable size allows for easy wringing.

The M-Fibre line was developed to supply only the highest quality microfiber products available. This Plush towel is a favorite of ours, and we think you'll appreciate it for the same reasons that we do.

Manufactured in South Korea."



M-FIBRE Waffler Drying Towel, 20x40

[Image: bigwaff.jpg]

"With any job to do, the right tools always make the task both more efficient and more enjoyable. And for vehicle drying, we believe the right tool is the M-Fibre Waffler.

For sopping up water, no material can match the absorbency of microfiber. It just works better. And with a waffle weave texture, a greater surface area of fibers is exposed, maximizing this effect.

The spacious 20 by 40 inch size allows you to quickly cover large areas of coachwork.

Ivory in color. Tag-free. Hemmed borders.

The M-Fibre line was developed to supply only the highest quality microfiber products available. The Waffler is a favorite of ours, and we think you'll appreciate it for the same reasons that we do.

Manufactured in South Korea."



Satin Prot

[Image: detailsp.jpg]

Description: Water-based protective dressing for vinyl, rubber, plastic, and leather. Blocks UV rays, renews color, and dries to a natural sheen.

Packaging: 500 ml with Trigger Sprayer

"While the exterior of your vehicle is your show to the world, the interior is what you will most directly experience. Werkstat Satin Prot, produced in Germany, is a unique formulation that renews all rubber and plastic surfaces, including vinyl and coated leather, so that the inside of your car will be as well maintained and protected as the outside. Werkstat Satin Prot gently cleans the surface and lays down a layer of protection against UV damage while restoring the original, natural appearance and color of the surface.

Where other products coat the surface with an artificial shine, Werkstat uses a protective base that dries completely to the touch with a satin finish. While additional layers will build up the protective properties, at no point will the finish turn thick, oily, or gummy. And because the finish dries completely, it will not attract excessive dust or evaporate a filmy residue onto the glass like some other products. In short, Werkstat Satin Prot renews the color, protects against cracking and fading caused by UV damage, and dries to a natural sheen. Your interior will once again look factory original.

Werkstat Satin Prot can also be applied to tires, for long-lasting, natural-looking protection.

For best results, the surfaces should first be thoroughly cleaned of the residue left from previous dressings with a suitable all-purpose cleanser.

Made in Germany"



Prime Strong

[Image: detailpss.jpg]

Description: Nano-tech enhanced poly-acrylic paint prep and protection formula that cleans, polishes, and protects for uncompromising shine.

Packaging: 500 ml with Dispensing Cap

"We think of this formula as a 120% version of Prime! It employs both more acrylic polymers for better durability and protection and also an incrementally stronger polishing agent to address more paint imperfections. This formula takes Prime a step toward a finishing polish and can eliminate the need for a separate finishing polish in many instances. Prime: Strong can address light marring and swirling more effectively than Prime, yet the polishing agents--though stronger--are still gentle enough for regular use. It makes a beautiful, easy hand polish for those without machine polishers, and it works quite well as a chrome polish and sealant."


That is essentially the extent of the product range that will be available off the bat. All of the Werkstat range are quality products and I am pleased to be able to offer them to you all at long last Clap
