I used it on my truck. Looked great but don't do it. It's not a normal wax. It can only be removed with mineral spirits (or something of that nature). I didn't read that until after the third coat.

Long, long before there were the sophisticated Meguiar's and some other "waxes and polishes", there was Liquid Glass. And it was used by the old, "Fiberglass" crowd of Corvette owners. My old can (of Liq. Glass, ) says that it contains no waxes, silicones, etc., and is clear coat safe. As well as used on fiberglass, clear coats, cars, boats ,etc.
I have no worries about it. I'm not sure where it says it has to be removed with "mineral spirits"???? I've used it occasionally on every car I've had with no negative results.

On the can if you intend to re-paint. Typical with all waxes which can be removed with mineral spirits and steel wool (scotch brite pads).
LG is not bad, I don't think it gives the deep wet look of Zanio or some of the other top rated products. But I used it for years before I knew of Zaino.

Ahh! Right. That's not on my can, but you're right. That is the reason to remove it with mineral spirits.

If there was any doubt, visit liquidglass.com and view their faqs.
Look at this:
Here's my car, which is a Liquid Glass car:
Don't mock the other cars, the Camry and Explorer are works in progress, and the Camry was $500.

I liked LG. Then I got Zaino. I thought the Zaino looked good lasted a while 4-6 weeks but, I wash my car alot.
So....I now use Maguires NXT. It's easier to use than Zaino and I don't have a show car. Lasts 4-6 weeks too.
BTW that's a fresh coat of NXT in this pic.

I have used Liquid Glass exclusively for the past three years about 4 times a year. Makes my old paint shine pretty. You cant tell how bad a paint job was done till you get up close and you can see the little bubbles on the hood. My wheels shine up with it too after I scrub them up. Read the can. It is great for taking out scratches and imperfections in small areas. My wife uses Meguiars Gold Class on her car. I've been tempted to try Zaino but I've been happy with L.G. Easy on, easy off. Shine on .....

I use it. This last time I clay-barred first, then LG pre-cleaner, then LG. Didn't think white could shine that good, but it does!
Can't really tell by the pic, but it looks good.

especially on the scratch removal.
