\"IGL<\/p>\n

I really did not think I would like this product, but the bottle I picked up is almost gone! IGL Jen K.O.<\/a> is a product which I found may be underrated.\u00a0 I admit I initially had thoughts of, “oh another one of those quick detailers”, but this product kept impressing me in so many ways.\u00a0 What stood out the most was the practicality of this product for the average consumer and professional detailer.<\/p>\n

A unique look (pictured below) of the water behavior.\u00a0 I am not totally against tiny beads and the picture is with no real form of protection on the surface other than the Jen K.O.<\/p>\n

Something to keep in mind here.\u00a0 A level (micro scratch free) and even more importantly, a clean surface, is generally the catalyst for water beading.\u00a0 Removing mineral deposits or other foreign substances is aiding in creating a more surgically clean surface.<\/p>\n

\"JenKO<\/p>\n

Jen K.O. is very easy to use whether sprayed on the surface or on a microfiber towel.\u00a0 I found evidence that this packed slightly more of a punch than your typical quick detailer.\u00a0 I quickly went through a bottle of this product, but I rarely used it on the exterior painted surfaces.\u00a0 I have enjoyed using this for lubrication to touch up wheels and also to dry door jambs.\u00a0 Although I am not the biggest fan of waterless wash products for general car paint cleaning, it has comparable use qualities.<\/p>\n

My first impression came from its impressive glass cleaning, as a sprinkler sprayed the side of my car and water just slipped off the glass surfaces.\u00a0 I later caught myself frequently using this product on my wheels.\u00a0 This became my favorite means to use Jen K.O.\u00a0 I would perform my general tire and wheel cleaning.\u00a0 After washing and drying the car, I would address drying and finding missed spots on the wheels with a Jen K.O. wipe down.\u00a0 Sometimes I would do a waterless wash with the wheels if they are mildly soiled.<\/p>\n

\"Tire<\/p>\n

This strong but easy to use quick detailer is essentially a mildly acidic waterless wash formulation.\u00a0 I have occasionally used it as a drying aid for exterior paint, which is the classic use of a quick detailer.\u00a0 But I have primarily used it for touch ups on engine bays, wheels, underside of hoods, and door jambs.<\/p>\n

I would potentially give this to a client or recommend this to someone who is obviously challenged in the arena of maintenance, when I want to keep detailing as simple as possible.\u00a0 Using this product as a quick detailer (post car wash) for someone who struggles with washing safely without water spot issues is a major benefit.<\/p>\n

For those with coated cars you may be using a silica sealant or quick detailer that you either prefer or is strongly recommended.\u00a0 This product may change the hydrophobic behavior a certain spray sealant provides.\u00a0 In that case, this might not be ideal for you.\u00a0 You may also have a dedicated water spot remover you prefer using already and this dedicated product will ultimately be more potent in removing topical water spots.<\/p>\n

These are the reasons I do not extensively use this product.\u00a0 When in doubt if your professional detailer or a trusted knowledgeable professional strongly recommends a maintenance spray, I would suggest you (defer) stick with that system.\u00a0 There are valid reasons to stay within a system, but if you protect your car with IGL Premiere<\/a> silica sealant or have an IGL coating on your car and particularly feel challenged dealing with waterspots, I would highly recommend this product.\u00a0 There are going to be better options to deal with topical water spots (i.e. dedicated water spot remover), but this may be more practical!\u00a0 This further simplifies the car maintenance experience.\u00a0 Also, weaker sealants or wax may be affected by this mildly acidic detailer.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Turcotte, the brainchild behind Jen K.O., was kind and gracious enough to talk to me about this product.\u00a0 Jennifer Turcotte is the owner of Carsmotology<\/a>.\u00a0 A talented detailer, business owner, and mentor, Jennifer has become an inspiration for many professionals in the industry.\u00a0 Jennifer operates in a state (Minnesota) with bad hard water.\u00a0 She noticed the problem shared by many detailers of built-up mineral deposits in door jambs and she noted the original plan for this problem typically would involve a water spot remover, followed by a neutralizing soap, and then a quick detailer.\u00a0 She asked herself ‘why not’ work on a product that is a combination of all three of these products for door jambs and other areas around the vehicle.\u00a0 After some experimentation, Jen K.O. was created.<\/p>\n

I can confidently state, I hope this product becomes available in a gallon or larger container.\u00a0 I am a big believer in Jen K.O.!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
