Back in 1987, when my wife and
I founded Classic Motoring Accessories, we were primarily a wholesale
distributor of professional detailing products serving detailers, body shops and
car dealers in Florida. While we carried the best brands of the time, including
Meguiar's, Mothers, 3M, Wurth and Stoner, our customers kept asking for products
that would work even better or literally didn't exist. Twenty years ago there
were no products for convertible top care, black trim care or even quick
detailing.
In 1989, we hired a chemist
and sent him into the field to work hand-in-hand with detailers and body shop
technicians to experience first hand the challenges of real-world detailing. He
would spend one day in the field crawling in and out of grimy vehicles and then
go back to his lab to formulate solutions to what he was experiencing in the
field. This process of continuing, in-field, research and development culminated
in 1991 with the debut of our Eimann Fabrik Professional Detailing Products.
Many of those first Eimann
Fabrik products set a new benchmark for performance and became classics. Clear
Vision, which we had to discontinue in 2004 because it no longer met the
government's VOC standards, is still considered by many to be the best
automotive glass cleaner ever made. Likewise, Clear Pearl Instant Detail Spray
raised the bar for all quick detail products. Clear Pearl was discontinued in
2005, again a casualty of increasingly strict government VOC standards but was
completely reformulated and released in August, 2005 as Waterless Auto Wash
& Gloss Sealant.
Today, we continue to improve
our Eimann Fabrik Professional Products both to meet current government
standards and to take advantage of new cleaning agents, surfactants and polymers
developed in the U.S., Germany and Sweden.
Once considered a trade secret
brand by many professional detailers, the internet now allows do-it-yourself,
car enthusiasts to enjoy these no-nonsense, field-tested products to make
detailing easier.
