Default Plexus

Okay, I've been using Plexus for years on my clear bra, and used to use it on my bike's plastic bodywork. For some reason tonight I decided to try it on my Z's hood, as there was some hazing and light scratches that were bugging me. After spending about 5 minutes cleaning the hood and the front end I was so impressed I decided to do the entire car. The damn thing shines like I just spent a weekend polishing it instead of the 30 minutes or so invested. It leaves absolutely NO residue or streaks, so I also did my tinted windows and trim.

I haven't waxed the car in at least 8 or 9 months, but it looks great! I think I'll get rid of all the other detailers I've been using and stick with Plexus as the intermediate answer. And no, I don't have any stock in the company.

I'll try and post a couple of pictures tomorrow when I can get the car out in the sun and really take a good look. The fluorescent lights in the garage don't lie though.

I've used it on my bike for years with great results. We use it in aviation a LOT for polishing plexi windshields and it contains a UV inhibitor. Don't over-spray it on a smooth shop floor tho, its kinda like spraying pledge on hardwood.

I've resisted trying it on my car but I may.

I saw a detailer using it on some vettes a few years back, just as touch up before a show. I went to the local motorcycle shop, bought a can and have used it on and off for a year or so, great results! I still use C-Magic to wax the car, but for a quick detail or shine Plexus works great, smells good too

It probably has a lot of fillers. It may only last 1 or 2 washes. Anyways good luck.

Yup, it's strictly a replacement for my usual "between waxes" detailers that I use periodically. It will never substitute for a good waxing, but it sure looks great in-between and does fill-in light surface scratches fairly well. It was originally made for lexan windows in aircraft IIRC.

Good info for those quick touchups before a show.
