Liquid Glass
Instead of using car wax on the 78 I used a product call Liquid Glass. It was recomended by the local NAPA. Has anyone ever used this product?
According to the can, to remove it, you have to use steel wool :eek: I would like to change and go with wax< they say the two are not conpatable. :confused:

Re: Liquid Glass (JBR)
I've been using LG since 1980! :D I never read the entire can, but don't remember anything about removing it with steel wool. I think a comon sense over ride should engage. :D At one point, I was almost a local distributor and have read all their fliers, endorsements and claims. Still don't remember anything about steel wool.
If I remember correctly their headqarter's in is Teaneck N.J.

Re: Liquid Glass (JBR)
A car dealer I worked for in the 80's used to shine up the new and used cars with it. The detailers swore by it. I used it on my 87 GTI. I sold the car after 4 years and the paint still looked like new. Even after sitting in the FL sun. :D
If I had decent paint on my Vette, I'd use it. I wouldn't bother with wax over it. Just reapply it if you want to shine it up. If I remember corectly it was a wipe-on/wipe-off application.

Re: Liquid Glass (JBR)
Yes, I'm still using LG. That's all I use.
Apply 1 coat Liquid Glass, let set 4-5 hrs, then you can apply as many coats as you want. I usually do 4-5, then let it bake in the summer sun for about 8 hours. Makes a nice finish. :thumbs:
BUT, I haven't run accross any finish that lasts more than 1 year. I used Liquid Glass on my daily driver 2001 Excursion and it lasts about a year of constant weather abuse. I then apply another layer or 2 and it's good.
I use a clay bar before applying too.

Re: Liquid Glass (7782vette)
I bought some LG last summer to bring some lustre to an 89 toyota p-up i bought, it does a good job. the steel wool instructions are listed, so if you're going to paint your car or a body shop is to repair an area, the LG can be removed. LG is basically a glazing compound, i put on about 4 coats on the old toyota. i also found that 3M's Imperial hand rubbing compound, preceding the LG worked especially well on old finishes
