ACRYLIC-WËRKS is a Texas based company established in August of 1996. We are located in the beautiful and historical city of San Antonio however, due to my wife’s commitment and call to duty for the U.S. Navy we are currently residing in Suffolk, Virginia while she is stationed at the Norfolk Naval Base.
We consider ourselves very fortunate that ACRYLIC-WËRKS was selected as the company to market this revolutionary water-based acrylic polish here in the United States. Beginning with our first stop at Randolph AFB in San Antonio, Texas in October 1996, ACRYLIC-WËRKS POLISH exposed us to the fact that it virtually has no piers. It has been proven time and time again that this polish permits us to deliver the most amazing and shocking results quickly, easily and definitely! The belief and confidence we have in our polish allowed us the opportunity to focus our entire marketing strategy on a bold, more personalized one-on-one demonstration with consumers and their automobile, recreation vehicle, boat, motorcycle or personal aircraft. This personalized one-on-one demonstration is performed outdoors in the heat of the day… no shade or pre-washing. As they say, "seeing is believing".
Realizing we were not operating with a multi-million dollar budget to advertise and coerce customers into believing what we had was simply astonishing, we sucked it up and built our ACRYLIC-WËRKS client base with sweat equity; we put it on the line, not each and every day, but on each and every demonstration.
We would like to take this time and thank all of our ACRYLIC-WËRKS CUSTOMERS who also believed in our polish, to the point that they took time out of their day and personally demonstrated the polish for their family members, friends and even total strangers whom we may never have had the opportunity to meet. To all of you a very special THANK-YOU!
We would like to also recognize two very special customers:
Frank, Southern California
I met Mark and his wife in at the parking lot of the Navy Exchange in San Diego, CA over four years ago, in 2002. I had driven by a few times, and had seen his portable gazebo, with its black and yellow colors advertising a fix-all polish. I will admit that I’m a skeptic. After a few weeks of seeing that gazebo there, I decided to stop by and see what this product was about. I thought I was getting ahead of myself, because I decided to detail my 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT, and see if he could make it look any better. 
When I stopped by, he was working on a customer’s car. He acknowledged me, and I stayed to watch what he was doing. The car he was working on was a little dirty, so any change would be a big improvement. I was thinking to myself, “Now how is he going to make my car look better?”
Mark brought over two buckets of water, a couple of white rags, a black and yellow bottle, and asked what I expected. I simply said; let me see what this (product) can do to my car. I felt that since I had detailed the car a couple of hours earlier, there wouldn’t be much room for improvement. Mark started on the black trim on the rear window. After a few minutes, I couldn’t believe the difference. It looked cleaner, and very shiny, with a deep gloss. All the while, Mark is talking to me about Acrylic Wërks, and how it can be used on just about every part of the car’s exteriors (the glass, trims, rubber parts, plastic parts, rims, etc).
A few more onlookers stopped by, and I asked Mark if I could continue trying out the polish right there, while he attended to the newcomers. He agreed, so I put on a set of latex gloves, and kept working on that faded black trim on the rear window. I finished after about 10-12 minutes, and the whole trim was shiny, with a deep black color. I couldn’t believe it. I also found out that unlike other polishes, Acrylic Wërks doesn’t leave a residue on your hands, since its water soluble. I didn’t even need to wear gloves to apply it.
I’ve been washing and detailing cars for over 30 years, and this is the best polish that I’ve seen. When I finished that rear window trim, Mark was ringing up his customers. I opened my hatch, got their attention, and threw out every single bottle of polish, cleaner, and old polishing stuff that I had in my trunk in the trashcan, right by the register. I realized that with Acrylic Wërks, I didn’t need all that other stuff! I had “seen the light,” and it was very shiny!
I bought a couple of bottles, and Mark asked if he could keep the car for awhile, and said that he would work on it between customers. I agreed, went back to work, and when I returned a few hours later to get it, the car was shined like I’d never seen it before! A friend of mine brought me back in his Subaru. Mark noticed that his headlights had a milky appearance, and asked to see what he could do with it. After a few minutes, the driver’s headlight looked new. My friend bought a bottle on the spot! I had my first referral!
Mark and I have stayed in contact throughout the years, and I have bought about 6 bottles of Acrylic Wërks. I bought one for a neighbor who owns a BMW and a Mercedes M-Class. He had met Mark before, and asked me to get him another bottle, since I told him I was going to place an order. His cars always looked very clean and shiny. I also bought a bottle as a gift to a co-worker, who owns a BMW. I showed him how to use it, and he was amazed!
I enjoy how easy it is to apply, to remove, and to buff out. I also like how the polish lasts for a long time. I can wash my car, go over it with a buffing cloth, and it looks like it was freshly polished. This motivates me to keep the car clean, knowing that even if I wash and polish it the same day, it won’t take forever, and I won’t feel exhausted when I’m done. I haven’t tried the clay, or the tire glaze, but I did order the complete detailing kit, and am looking forward to using those two products.
I consider Mark a friend. We share a common interest in clean cars, and he has always been available to answer my questions whenever I call. His passion is infectious, when it comes to polishing a car. As a member of the Southern California 3000GT/Stealth club (SoCal3S), I’m expected to attend meets and gatherings. Thanks to Mark and Acrylic Wërks, I am confident that my car will always look its best. Thank you Mark! 
Saleen Jim, Ohio and California
Let’s start by saying it was the pure music being created by the sound of a top of line blown, red 1998 S351 Saleen Mustang cruising through the Exchange parking lot at Norfolk Naval Base that turned our heads. Every day we were turned down on a demonstration offer but on the third day we got him to stop so we could check out his beautiful S-Stang. If memory serves me correctly, I think we had our polish on the black cowl before he could say no. He mentioned, in a not so pleasant tone, that this was not necessary since the S-Stang had only 15 miles on it. After 50+ bottles purchased and given away to other Saleen Mustang and Classic Car Owners we have to say, THANK-YOU Jim. By the way, we ran into Saleen Jim in the Exchange Parking Lot at 32nd Street Naval Base, San Diego, California in July 2002. That S-Stang now had over 65,000 miles on it, and she still appeared to only have 15 miles on it – it was easy to see by the crowd it generated in front of the demonstration area. Jim, you are a true friend and I know my son will never forget that hair rising ride down I-5.
