QUICKSHINE: Infomercial Review

QUICKSHINE: Infomercial Review

Dear QUICKSHINE folks:

My wife and I made a trip to CVS the other day after seeing your QUICKSHINE product advertised on TV. She loves the floor shine kit, but a few things have me worried, so I thought I'd share them with you.

First, you asked "Wouldn't you like to have a shiny clean floor that lasts for months?" We just put in a new floor in the kitchen two weeks ago, and I'd much rather have the floor last for years instead of months. Do you think this is possible? Or am I being greedy? My wife says she thinks you mean "wouldn't you like to have a shine that lasts for months," but I told her if you said "a floor that lasts for months," that must be what you meant.

She's also going to use QuickShine on the dining room floor, but to be honest, the old floor was cruddy looking. So when you say QuickShine "restores" the floor, is it too much to hope it doesn't restore it TOO well? I kind of like the new look; not much about the old one I want restored.

You said we should use your blue pad to clean and the green to shine. I'm color blind. What happens if I use the wrong pad? Is it dangerous to shine before I clean? Am I in danger of shining our dirt?

I am happy that you pointed out that the mop pads are reusable. It would have been a shame if you'd created the first mop that has to be discarded after every use. That could get quite costly.

Speaking of cost, you said QuickShine is "guaranteed or your money back." I don't understand this. Does this mean that if the product is NOT guaranteed, I get my money back? Wouldn't that, then, be a guarantee...and since there is a guarantee, wouldn't that mean I won't get my money back? I need some clarification here.

Finally, the thing I'm most concerned about is that, even though you told me I could pick up QuickShine at CVS, you also urged me to call now because "operators are standing by." I do hope you've told them to sit down by now, because I've gotten my QuickShine elsewhere. Please let them take a coffee break and then take care of someone else.

Yours truly,

Kelly
