good stuff...indestructible....use it if you want long lasting protection - (as in you don't like to detail)

I do, so I use other stuff with better gloss...

I use 22ple. You must be VERY careful in application. Any smudges will stay smudged for a while. However, it is simple to apply if you do small sections at a time and are PATIENT with the 3-5 min cure time. (use a timer!)

After a good application it shines like glass, just make sure you do any necessary paint correction before hand as it will not hide swirls, no matter how small.

I used to use Liquid Car Wash all the time. It was in a can. Then all of a sudden I could not get it anymore. It was great stuff. I just Googled it and found it.

Use only as a final coat it has no cleaner in it!
It's great polish! Used it for years! It goes on in thin coats!
When you put on another coat you have two coats! When you get
more and more coats. It is a real clear coating! Just put a another coat on each wash. Gets SO glossy they see you from blocks away and know it is you coming.
Where wax leaves 1 good coat then coat again you still just have 1 coat!
Just getting ready to use it on my ZR1!

Had a few friends that used liquid glass polish until they saw my car with full detail and 22ple. Get 22ple, cquartz, or opticoat. 22ple and cquartz are easiest to apply. Just drip and spread on a panel, wait 5 mins, and buff off with a microfiber towel. Very easy.

Not a vette but this is what my current car looked like with 22ple (untouched photo). All my car buddies, including exotic owners, swear by it. I have a ton of track pics which exemplify 22ple here.

Any Polymer based product will perform as above!
