NEW USER . . . "I would like to compliment you on your product 'Quick & Easy Wash.' During a trip to the Southern Trans Am Nationals, my 2000 Firebird Formula was rained on and became encrusted with road grime, dirt and pollen. I washed my car with your product, and the car looked good as new. In fact, it managed to snag a second place in class at the show! Thanks! Here are some pictures after washing:"

"Looking good at the show."

"Again, thanks for your excellent product. I don't think I've used a hose in about six weeks!"

Stephen Drivick

" I like your product. It stands up in the harsh weather we have here. Both my cars' shine holds up great. Thanks."

Mike Tyree, Aklaska

"A partial gallon was left in a home we purchased and I used it on my autos. I received more comments on how good my cars always look. I called your 800 number and found a dealer in our area. This is a fine product and I purchased 4 individual containers plus a gallon for refills for family members. Very simple to apply. Thanks."

John Riley, Pennsylvania

"For some time, I have been using Protect All Polish, Wax & Treatment on my vehicles and boat, etc...Great stuff and refer my friends because it's so easy and quick.

It's still the greatest wax and pretty impressive when I can wax a Suburban in 15-20 minutes."   PD Mickey Manry, CA

"I just wanted to let you know something about my use of Protect All. I was so pleased with its performance on my truck that I decided to try it on something completely different. I put a layer of Protect All on my glass shower doors, and we haven't had any trouble with soap scum since. The water sheets right off."

Nathan & Erin Dobbs, Kentucky

"Protect All Polish and Wax is the best product of its kind I have ever used."

Donald A. Worley, Missouri

 

"I just wanted you to know that I have been using your product from the start and that I have a lot more time on my hands and that besides soap and water, there is nothing better or faster. Thank-you for such a great product."

Garth Balcom, New York

 

"I plan to try some of your other products and have always been pleased with the results I received with Protect All. A few of my friends have begun using Protect All and are quite pleased. Thank you, again, for your service and fine products."

Douglas A. Ryder, Californiva

 

"Here are some photographs of my 1932 3-window Ford Coupe. I have now used Protect All and am truly amazed at the results.

I have shared your products with a few of my friends and they are equally surprised at the versatility of the compound."

Steve Henderson, CA

 

 

"I am enclosing an article that ran in the Daily Bulletin last year. It gives an overall history of the car. Steve has loved the 1932 3-window Ford Coupe since he saw his first one many years ago. He searched for a long time but could not find what he wanted so he decided to build his car.

First of all, there are no books that tell you how to go about building a new car. If one does not have mechanical ability, the where-with-all to find parts, the ability to ask telling questions, then one should never consider building a car from scratch; it is just too difficult.

Steve built his car from the ground up, making every decision, knowing the order in which things would go together efficiently and effectively. It took exactly two years to build, with many of those months spent looking for parts, service, etc. The article said that 95% of the people who try to build a car give up but he believes it is even higher than that after talking to people for over two years. Since that article was printed, Steve has won over twenty trophies.

You wanted to know how he found out about your product. It was in a goodie bag given to each participant at the 6th Annual Inland Valley Rally and Cruise Car Show held in Ontario, California, on June 5, 1999. Evidently we were parked close to something that dotted our car with hard clear bumps. It wasn't sticky like sap and couldn't be seen but could be felt if one ran a hand over the car.

The next day Steve tried cleaners and even mineral spirits but they simply weren't effective. He spied the sample of Protect All sitting on his work bench and decided to try it. He was simply amazed at the results and continues to be so today. He says he has never seen anything like your product. Not only does it clean the car but it enhances the finish, bringing out the brilliance of the paints. Since our car is a metallic paint, the Protect All gives it a look of wetness, almost as if one could dive into it. Needless to say, Steve is so enthusiastic about your product, he shares it with everyone who looks at the car. If Protect All was not in the goodie bag, we might not have known about your fantastic product."

Barbara Henderson, California

"My 99 Miata, notice your product's shine. I won't use anything else but Protect All wash [Quick & Easy Wash] and All Surface Care [Protect All Polish, Wax & Treatment]. I tell and show your products to everybody in our car clubs, all over Florida. Thanks, again."

Bob Vilagie, Florida

"We live in Florida where there is a severe water shortage. Our car needed to be washed really bad. So, I used Protect All Quick & Easy Wash. It did a beautiful job, and I only used 1/2 ounce of Quick & Easy in two quarts of water. Of course, I am a real big fan of your 'Protect All.' I use 'Protect All' on our car all of the time, so that also made the job easier. I use 'Protect All' on everything. Just wanted you to know how great your products are."

Barbara Schrader, Florida

"Your product [Protect All] is just fabulous! It is amazing to have one product that does everything! I first used it on my car and it did an excellent job. My car was waxed in a fraction of the time regular car waxing takes. That means all of the car! Paint, chrome, dashboard and windows, too!

I use Protect All Quick & Easy Wash, too. It is wonderful! It is outstanding for the car. Now I wash my car INSIDE the garage. One capful in two quarts water will do the whole car plus the wheels. Now I can wash my car at any time of the day or even at night and Quick & Easy Wash leaves the car with a waxed finish. I love it!"

Carol Smith, California (with her 1979 Volkswagon) 

"Just wanted to take time to tell you how much I LOVE Protect All. At an RV get-together in Tennessee last September, a few of us did an un-scientific test of all the cleaners and waxes we could find among those in our group. I personally applied a small amount of each to my motorhome, as they brought them to me. The purpose was to see which removed black streaks, bugs, road dirt, etc. The best, was easy to use, and gave the best finish. I had never used Protect All before, but after testing all the brands we had, I went to the nearest Wal-Mart or K-Mart, and bought my first bottle. When I got home, I saw it was available in Camping World and ordered a full gallon of it. I have used it to completely clean [polish, wax, treat and protect] our 35-ft. Winnebago Vectra motorhome, my Ford Super Cab Pickup, and my Jeep Grand Cherokee.

It is not too often I am as happy with a product as I am with this one and have told all my friends about it. I do find that it is not easy to locate it in the stores. Seems Armor All has most of the shelf space used up with their products. For my money, they can keep their Armor All, and give me Protect All any day. Keep up the good work, and thanks."

Ted Aronson, Tennessee, Email

"Your product, the Protect All [Polish, Wax & Treatment] and the [Quick & Easy Wash] are true wonders. In this day and time, it is so refreshing to find a product that is truly as advertised. I must admit, when I first began reading of your product, I was greatly apprehensive and felt that no product could produce the results which were claimed. One day I received a sample in the mail and decided to give it a try. I was extremely amazed by the results but still was not convinced. I just felt that something this economical and easy to use just could not produce the fantastic results I was achieving. I ordered some of the Protect All and the Wash and now have been using them on all my cars for over a year. I own a Mercedes, Volvo, and Explorer. All three continue to look as though they have some deep factory finish which makes them really stand out. And it is so easy to keep them looking in such excellent condition. I truly can not say enough about Protect All.

I would like to add that I have no obligation to Protect All, Inc.; know none of its employees personally, and have been promised no benefits for my endorsement. I am just very pleased with your product and hope that you continue to make the product available, and please make no alteration to the product even to 'improve' it.

I am a very strong supporter of your product in this area and mention it at every opportunity."

E. Keith Johnson, D.D.S., South Carolina

"When you first mentioned you were coming out with a gasoline additive I wondered why anyone would take the time to develop such a product. After reading the informational brochure you gave me I was convinced I had to try it.

I had several vehicles that are my pride and joy, one is a 1972 280SL, it is a classic. It sets most of the time. I put the gasoline additive in the tank, it seemed like it happened almost immediately, I had a ten percent increase in RPM at idling speed without any fuel adjustment. I was astonished to see such an immediate change. Then I was concerned about my wife’s 1985 Lincoln passing the smog test this year. I put it in and drove it before the test and it passed with flying colors. To say I am happy with your product is an understatement, now use it in my Ford Aerostar as well.

I am sure you are getting the same comments from many other users as well. Keep up the good work!"

Wes Davidson

"I am writing in regards to one of your products, "Protect All [Polish, Wax & Treatment] 16 oz. size. I recently found a container of your wax lying in the parking lot at work. I took it home and tried it on my ’96 Dodge Neon and I can honestly say that it’s the best wax product I have ever used. It is easy to apply and gives a deep glossy shine. I have not seen this at any of the stores I shop. I will definitely use this product again if you could tell me where I can purchase it in my area.

Again, it is an outstanding product and I am glad I found it and tried it. It will be my regular wax from now on. It also does a great job on other areas of my car.
It is a great product."

Roy Palmer, Florida

"Thank goodness for Protect All!!!! Somehow a glue-like substance got on the paint of my 1996 dodge ram and hardened:

'goof off' wouldn’t remove it!  'goo gone' wouldn’t remove it!  Llighter fluid' wouldn’t remove it!  'protect all' removed it completely!!!

Thanks again!"

Robert Roskoski, Milwaukee

"I have a 1994 Miata convertible that I use in the summertime. I always disliked getting caught in the rain with it because the other products that I would use on the convertible top would run down the side of my car and streak the paint. (Till I found Protect All) now I don’t have that problem with streaking and it also protects my top and makes it look better than any other product I have used.

Thanks for a great product!"

Paul Kempa, Connecticut --  "P.S. I also use it on the rest of the car!

"I am writing you regarding an unexpected discovery I made on March 4th. While shopping at a local Wal Mart store I was in the automotive department browsing around. I noticed an unfamiliar spray bottle containing a product advertised to, 'Clean, Polish, Wax and Treat.' My first reaction was HA! I have heard and read so many claims by companies selling automotive finish products. The result should be that if their products did everything as claimed, my vehicle’s finish would be impervious to any damage short of a nuclear explosion. I would have to polish it only once, I could use a feather duster to buff it off and I would probably be cited by the local law enforcement for blinding other drivers with the shine.

Anyway, I am pretty skeptical of advertising claims, but I am always willing to try things in hope of finding that one that works. I bought your product, Protect All, with the feeling that the worst thing that could happen is I would be out the nine bucks purchase price. I arrived home with my wife and two kids and, since the afternoon was so nice here in Chicago for this time of the year, I tried your product on our 1994 Honda Accord EX. We have only owned this car five months, and we are very happy with it. We want this car to last a long time and we want it to look nice. I applied your product in 30 to 40 degree weather, much colder than the 60 to 90 degree suggested range on the bottle. I applied the product and used a water dampened baby diaper to do the final polish. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GREAT THIS STUFF WORKS. It was quick and easy, I completed the task from start to beautiful finish in about 45 minutes. I have spent hours before and have not had results anywhere near this good. The finish almost looks 'wet.' I am almost afraid to ask what’s in this product, it must be illegal. The most amazing feature of Protect All was that, as 'Murphy’s Law' would have it, after cleaning the car the next day we had a snow storm. We took the car out into the salt spray that occurs when the streets are salted. When we arrived home THE CAR DIDN’T LOOK DIRTY. I have had cars not look as good the day after it was washed in the summer. I will recommend your product to anyone I talk to. And I thank you for making a product that will save us money. Protect All will pay for itself just in the amount of time and money we would spend washing our car. I cannot believe anyone would not want to spend more time enjoying a beautiful clean car than washing it all the time. Again I thank you for a product that honestly does what it says it will!"

Bradley R. Smith, Illinois

"Thanks so much for taking the time to discuss the availability of your 16 oz spray bottles. I was so impressed with your product, when I used a sample packet, that I’ve made up my mind it’s the one and only cleaner polish I’m going to use on my collector car. I’ve won trophies at car shows because of its’ originality but I think more trophies will be coming with the help of Protect All."

Jim Wallace, California

"About a month ago I purchased a new camper shell for my 1989 Ford Ranger. I noticed your product sitting on a shelf in the accessories showroom. After being recommended by the salesman I purchased a can. After using the product I just can not believe the good results.

My Ranger, not having a clear coat on its paint, really became faded to a point that it almost looked pink. The color of the truck is medium light canyon red. Any type of wax I tried using didn’t work. Now the interesting part; I’ve been applying Protect All every Saturday since I bought it. It just takes short sprays then rub in with a polishing cloth. I’ve had people at work and where I live ask me if I’ve had the truck painted. They can’t believe how it has brought the paint right back and is protecting it from ultraviolet rays also.

Thank you for your time and keep up the good work. I’d be interested in seeing a catalog of other products you offer if possible. Thank you."

Michael Rosa, New Jersey

"I have been using only Protect All for years on our cars and vans plus household use. I bet I have used 7 or 8 gallons all together. PROTECT ALL DOES IT ALL.  Thanks."

Buss Glover, Arizona

"Please get a distributor in Michigan in the southwest corner. When people see the results on our 26’ Hi-Lo travel trailer and Chevrolet pickup and car, and, hear me sing its praises, you will have a flourishing market in this area. Thank you."

Thelma Stubelt, Michigan

"Candace: Had a pleasant conversation with you exactly 5 months ago on 2/23/96. I had received my first gallon of Protect All Quick & Easy Wash frozen. It was alright as you assured me it would be. We had not used it yet at that time. Well, we just love it. My wife even made up a spray bottle of Wash to use in the house, on everything washable. It is great! It is amazing the reaction we get from people about our cars and motorhome. What a super invention by your dad!

I was pleased and surprised to find the rebate coupons. I had missed them. My son for whom I had ordered spotted them. We ordered extra for ourselves at the same time.

You had told me that you we’re the one who handled rebates and that you would not forget me with the name, 'Thibodeau.' 

I have told many people what nice people you all are.

Charles Thibodeau, Maine

"I didn’t really think I would be sending this unsolicited testimonial…but I am convinced that you have a fine line of products and that deserves credit.

I had heard of Protect All for years and after getting on the Forum and seeing your offer of a free sample, I decided to try it. I put it on the front of my Allegro Bus, found it to be as easy to apply as advertised, much easier than the previous product I used, NU-2000 wax and polish. I thought PA worked well for awhile, but after a few weeks didn’t feel that it had endurance. I was aware of the wash, but didn’t believe you could use only a capful in two quarts of water without damaging the finish, so I used my usual Simple Green detergent to wash the coach. After washing a few times I again applied Protect All and was generally satisfied with the results, so I proceeded to buy a gallon.

While in Perry, GA, I stopped by the Camping World 'store' and saw your colleagues (distributor?) demonstrate the roof compounds. I questioned one of them (didn’t get a name) about the [Quick & Easy Wash] and he said it worked as advertised, just wipe the surface with bucket of solution and cloth, so I decided to give it a try. (In fact, your Forum comments to a reader about using Simple Green to remove Protect All from a finish before applying, a decal as I recall, led me to reconsider using the wash, suggesting that strong detergents such as that should NOT be used over Protect-All, and I had not, perhaps given it a fair test.)

Where we live on the coast of SC the water has a high saline content and, even with the best of efforts, leaves water spots on the [motorhome] after washing. Saturday (4/13) my wife, Elizabeth, and I decided to give the wash a try, using a small terry towel for washing a small area at a time, top down and drying with synthetic chamois. The only precaution I took was hosing down ahead of time some loose dirt on one corner and on the wheels. (Any one tell you about the weather and ground conditions at Perry?.
The washing could not have been easier…or with a better outcome. We used a total of three, 1 gallon buckets of solution (two capfuls/gal.) to wash the entire 35’ MH. In the past we always had water streaks or spots…but not with Protect All [Quick & Easy Wash]…and the process was actually faster and less messy than with a hose, bucket and brushes. Elizabeth had been even more reluctant than I about trying this simple process, but she now is a confirmed believer. So much so that she proceeded to wash the Saturn while I attacked the remaining black streaks on the [motorhome].

I will admit I had some leftover black streaks after the wash…but I tried and found to my surprise that I could remove those streaks with a treatment and a little rubbing with Protect All, then polishing dry…presumably at the same time reducing future black streak buildup. I also learned that in the future, if only part of the coach is particularly dirty (such as the dreaded end-cap), I can simply mix up a small batch of solution and clean that part for a satisfactory overall appearance.

We next washed our BLACK Isuzu pickup, which had not been Protect All treated and found that again, no water spots. Later we applied Protect All to the pick-up (probably in less than 30 minutes and it looks literally, almost new (sorry, after 100,000 miles, 50,000 behind a [motorhome], I can’t really say it looks new.

Because the products are so easy to use, I decided today to apply another treatment to our '96 Saturn. My wife quickly volunteered to help because the application is so relatively effortless and the results so striking, she says, 'the [Quick & Easy Wash] is absolutely fantastic'...

…Now, we’re looking forward to doing the rubber roof next week."

Ralph Peters

"We have used Protect All before. It is great! We use it on our fifth wheel camper, ’95 Chev. Pick up and ’90 car – It is so easy to use – and they really have a great finish after we use it.

We had used it on our ’88 Chev. Truck. It looked like it did when we bought it in 1988, when we traded it in for a ’95."

Lloyd Summerlot, Indiana

"Man! What a product!

I used this on a severely damaged painted surface, and it [did] a great job of making it look clean and shiny. The surface was the hook, top, and trunk lid of my 1978 Town Car. All surfaces had severe bristle marks from car washes and sun. It almost looks repainted.
I also used this on my motorcycle fairing and [Plexiglas] windshield. The results were excellent. Dried bugs from last year wiped right off, no smears on the [Plexiglas]. My bike looks great thanks to your product.

One problem! Where do I get more? Please inform me. Thank you."

Tim Behr, Minnesota

"People are very quick to write a letter of complaint but are also reluctant to write one of praise. This is one of praise.  

I bought a small bottle and used it on my pop-up tent trailer. Camping World had a sale on it so I bought a gallon. I used this product on my 1991 Chevy Van and it worked wonders. My wife has an old Schwinn bike with chrome fenders. The label says that it does chrome. I used it and it works as well as any chrome cleaner that I have bought. This saves me an expense.

I believe that Protect All does all that it states and you have a very satisfied customer."

William D. Allshouse, California

"... I’m totally hooked on your product.  I’ve always taken pride in my cars and camper van in making them shine like new. Problem has been in the past, that it meant a lot of work, washing, waxing, polishing, etc., not to mention the time involved and on top of that, not getting any younger (50 years).

Protect All as your motto says 'does it all.' I’m very impressed, not only have I cut the work time in half and saved some tired and sore arms from misery, but honestly, the shine on the paint looks better than any wax I’ve used in the past. Windshields, interior, chrome, tires, just everything is better. And besides the way they were and the compliments I get, I didn’t have to break my back doing the work. So not to ramble on, here’s 'three cheers' for a great product that does more than it says it can. Here’s to a long running product, and may all good things happen to you for putting out a product that actually does what it says it can do. Thank you!"

Steven A. Maurer, California
