Default Liquid Glass....

Anyone using Liquid Glass Auto Polish? Many years ago I used Zaino, but they are to expensive now. I remember Liquid Glass from a long time ago, but I do not remember ever using it. I need something that works well and is easy to use, my 73 year old arms are beat! TIA

"Blue Coral" wax job sure looks pretty! Gonna get my chick and make it out to Drag City.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Probably not PC either!

I have used Liquid Glass for over 20 years and like the product. Liquid Glass provides great protection, especially when you get several coats on the paint. It's hard to get now, but I have 8 cans still left from the last 2 cases I bought.
I have switched to Jescar Power Lock sealant topped with Pinnacle Souveran carnuba wax on my Vette.
I apply both with Da polisher and black pad. really easy.

I used to use a waxing product 20 years ago, can't remember the name, it changed names at one point and then was called "Cycle Wax". Loved it, so quick and easy. It was a thick liquid that you just squirted on in a big S shape and then wiped off and buffed out in the same motion. It removed any grease and tar at the same time. Wasn't very durable but didn't have to be, was easy to apply every other wash or so. It left a very wet glossy shine. I used to buy it by the case. Sure wish I could find the equivalent product today.

I never wax my clear coat. I clay bay 2 times a season and hand glaze it ..

I never get water spots and the clean clear coat shines as it should .. I can virtually wash rinse and drive off to air dry the car ..

The only spotting I may get is if soap s not rinsed 100% from a nook or cranny and it drips or gets pushed back by the wind ..

I also know people are fanatics about there finish.. I am as well ..But even the protectents have down sides .... And I found this way a nice middle of the road approach

Once I'd polished every imperfection out of my clear coat with this stuff

https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-...2639364&rt=rud

I vowed I would never ever wax it. Since then it's been nothing but 3M Clean and Shine

https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-...3193940&rt=rud




Wear and tear on my joints is minimal.

Good luck trying to find Liquid Glass. No one sells it anymore, and previous sellers say they cannot contact the company (discontinued, out of business?). You might find some on eBay at a jacked up price, or some shelf stock somewhere. I used it years ago and it is very good. They said 5 coats protected like a new clearcoat layer, and it seemed to be true. Never had to use soap again....water beaded and removed any dirt. Even spray paint wiped right off. Wish I could get some again.

I use a product called *****'s Wax, also goes by Beats Um All, that I get from a local dealer. They are in Oak Ridge, Tn. Uses pure carnuba in the wax and detailer. Easiest wax I've ever used.

Their number off the bottle is 800-535-3682. Not sure if they sell direct but they may have a dealer in your area.

I used it on my truck and a turkey jumped off my roof onto the truck. It slid right off. Of course it left a few scratches along the way
