Wipe New Avanto Corp, Wipe New Bullies and privacy violators deceptive marketing practices Virgina Beach, Virginia

Do they Deliberately Mislead? Yes. Could you avoid being Mislead? Yes.

They covered their legal bases as displayed by their use of the super tiny bottle in the commercial. They may not have said how big the bottle is but they use the actual 3.x ounce bottle in the commercial and used fine print to say it is enough to do one vehicle.

To to me paying almost $40 to detail one vehicle with my own labor time is insane. Why not pay $100 for a full interior and exterior detail instead of paying $40, waiting a week, and detailing only the exterior instead of both interior exterior.

how much is your time worth? that is the question we should review when doing reviews of Wipe New car detail restoring kit.

It costs $27.98 for a 2-bottle 2 car kit at Walmart.

it is also a 4/5 star review rating after hundreds of reviews on Amazon. That's crazy impressive considering how bad the pricing and customer service is at corporate, this rating on Amazon only addresses the product quality itself.

A product review should not make a decision for a consumer it should give more detailed information and perspective and at most offer an opinion of the quality, value or integrity.

Wipe New is a " quality product " as stated by Renew Protect. We where contacted rescently by this company. They provided correction to our review. They said WN is a good product and the marketing company, Emson, is know for and does copy media, etc not not formula or trade marks.

 We feel it best to post this additional comment and correction. At Auto Salon we do enjoy testing new products and take pride in our service.

follow up to info of Wipe New being a poor copy of Renew Protect. I am providing a video for the original non toxic stuff.

The stuff is expensive yet works ok. Make sure you follow directions!... it is toxic and will damage paint and self.

It is a pricey copy of a product we use tat the shop for years, Renew Protect yet RP is not toxic nor hard to use.

I'm not sure why so many folks ordered Wipe New By phone in 2013.  It has been available at big retail stores since 2012.  Avoid the hassle of dealing with the company by simply buying the stuff from W mart. 

I have been detailing cars for a long time and have found nothing that works like Wipe New.  It is very easy to use if you follow the instructions.  They are intimidating, but just take your time.  You must also properly prepare the surface to be treated or you will get streaks and fish eyes.  Also, let it dry for 24 hours before exposing it to water.  You will get spots that are difficult remove.  I experienced that myself.  It was my error.  

Good luck to all. 

 This stuff is pure junk.Used on my 07 Ford.Looks spotie.Nothing near like new. Not even close

I just finished doing my Jeep Laredo 1999 and it looks brand new!  The 1.5 oz bottle was more than enough to do my whole car including some parts of the undercarriage.  Definitely want to detail in a cool area as directed.  The fumes are strong at times but in Dallas, Tx it is always approaching 100 degrees plus.  I am looking to get another bottle to do my wife's car. Buy the product.  You won't be dissappointed.

Hi, the answer is you can now buy at Wal-Mart. I love the stuff. My headlights look new again and all the body trim looks new as well. I have over two hundred dollars in cleaning products for my personal use. This product will save me tons of money. If anyone has read the instructions, it clearly states a little goes a long way. So the 1.5 oz is enough for a mid size car like it states. Again I love Wipe New and I am hooked and will continue to be a fan of Wipe New.  

You changed the name of the company from Wipe New to White Right in your rant four of five times!

Your spelling is atrocious. 

All I can say is I bought Wipe New off the internet and applied it to my Jeep Liberty and this stuff is AWESOME!!! So what if it cost nearly $40 for 2 things of it. Two things of Wipe New will actually do 4 cars. It does more then they claim it does. Great job Wipe New thanks for this great product!!!!

Ordering over the phone sounds like a nightmare but I just purchased an 8oz bottle for $12.99 at my local Grocery Outlet store and the stuff flat out works great. It's very easy to apply and I am very pleased with the results. It's a shame that they just don't let the product sell its self and stop all the other nonsense.

You didn't even buy the product, so your review is lame.  Of course they have your number, you dialed a toll free number.  Since you whine that it was a conspiracy between your phone company and the company  selling the product, that they had your number, my guess is that you were cocked and loaded for something like this.  Ready to complain when you called.  Given the detail of your "complaint", I really doubt you ever intended to purchase.  I just wonder how many other complaints you have written? 

I did purchase the product, and other than the shipping cost being a little, I found the product to work like a charm.  And as promised.   Actually I found this complaint accidentally by searching Google looking for similar products.  BTW, if you pay attention to the commercial, it is written that the bottle is 1.5 oz.  It's the "professional  victims" that I find more annoying, and certainly more common than rip off companies.  This company delivered what they promised to me.  My advise to you is to find a more constructive hobby.

I was reading this review because I was interested in the Wipe New product, but as I read I realized that there was more to this than just a product review. The fact that they scam people into paying twice for S&P is crazy, but not unusual. My advice is to just wait a while and buy from a store that sells "As Seen on TV" items for a much more reasonable price. If you don't like it you can easily take it back to the store versus being faced with near impossible return hurdles to overcome! The extras that they promise for free are not free at all, so you aren't missing out on anything by waiting for it to be sold in stores! My experience is that these products rarely ever work as advertised anyway!

The big concern is that this company is using blocked information in attempt to increase sales. I'm pretty sure that is illegal unless they disclose their intentions. I once worked for AT&T 00 Info (remember that?), and when people would call their contact information showed up on our screen, it also noted whether their info was blocked or not. Likewise, when the number or address they asked for was blocked the information would still show up, we just couldn't give out that information. It's a little scary to think that our information is so freely available. It seems that nothing has changed since the late 90's early 2000's. While working at AT&T 00 Info several people were fired for giving out the blocked information. Some companies take it seriously others do not.

The fine print on the Wipe New website shows the bottles are 3 ounces. The shipping for a couple of little bottles and tiny sponges is way above reasonable. Think I'll pass. 

I can not answer to whether or not this stuff works but I can tell you what actual professionals use and its not "wipe new". The best stuff to use is called "cool blue". I work for a car lot and we deal with a whole bunch of professional detailers and this is the best stuff I have seen yet. I love the smell of it too.

I was just about to buy this product for a friend and a family member, but read your report and now will be saving my time and money. I appreciate the time you took in writing this report it was very helpful! Good luck on your case.

I Bought A Whole Quart  ,, Killer Stuff !!!

You didn't even get the product, yet you go on a stupid rant about toll free number, shipping and handling etc..yes we know how all that works...what people searching for is a REVIEW of the actual product! the poster who made the review is pure garbage & must have a lot of time on their hands!

you say your company uses this product , so does it not work great ? i like , wipe new , I need more info please ! this stuff is a hassle to buy , but I love it ! where else can I get it ?

I got myself two new phone numbers cheap. One was with magic jack (no endorsement implied) and one with Skype (I am not endorsing Skype either). Magic jack added up to around $75 for 3 years and Skype is $2.99 a month. They allow me to make calls from my iPad and phone attached to my computer. The iPad app for magic jack is impossible to call back reliably. You need to put in a user ID to reach the caller and telemarketer computers can't do that. Skypes number seems to change every time I call out, so they can't call me back on that.

I use those two numbers to research and buy things from tv. It works for me, yet depending on your personal ability it may not be feasible for you. It keeps my mobile phone free of calls.

One thing is good about Android mobile phones is that most allow you to designate certain phone numbers to go directly to voicemail. Telemarketers seldom use voicemail. If you just hang up on them and immediately set their profile to "go directly to voicemail" you will never hear from them a second time. My wife's phone does not have this feature so I created a ringtone with no sound by recording 2 seconds of silence and assigned that ring to a profile called "Z". Now when she gets a caller she hates on her mobile phone she just saves their number to the profile for "z". They never get through.

Hope these tips help those with some tech skills.

I love It Cant Get It No Where Else !  I want MORE ! NOW!

Shady business practices abound. I generally wait until the products are available at ... walmar or some such store before buying them. While this report goes on and on about the business practices that are so common today, it never mentions whether or not the product does anything close to what it claims. I'm all to aware of dozens of companies doing the shipping and handling rip off. Okay, that's bad enough, but most of the time, the product is nowhere near what it's claimed to be. The hapless consumer is left with no real recourse, the so called guarantees are seldom honored, and the lifetime in the guarantee is the lifetime of the small company they form just for that product launch, not the lifetime of the consumer or even the supposed lifetime of the product. I know all that, what I wanted to know is whether or not the product comes even close to doing what it claims. That issue is not addressed.

First off let me say this, I completely AGREE with view of shady business practice... I hate the "upsell" and pricing gimmicks.. it s HORRIBLE way to do business, and they SUCK for doing it this way.. BUT!!!

I bought it anyway, and I love it... I have a 2008 ford F150 flare side black with black plastic trim. The paint looks great but all the plastic is sun faded grey... Armor all and tire shine, tire black, black magic, and whatever else i have slathered on there last 72 hours at best. this stuff looks great after a month and is supposed to be good for over a year... Over all, I have to say "win". I just had to pass the word on. buy it or don't.. but if you have a similar scenario, buy it.. Just sayin.

I appreciate your report and especially about the tiny size of the product.  Your report has convinced me not to even attempt to buy this product.

However, I wanted to respond to your concerns about the company getting having your address when you called, and having access to your phone number, even though you paid Verizon for Call Blocking.  (I'm just another consumer... I don't work for that company!)

The first container shown is 1.5 oz. so the "double size" is 3 oz. I discovered this by pausing the ad and looking closely at the bottle. Big scam--very small bottle!
