Default Glare Polish

I am a newbie and was reading about Glare Polish. Is it as good as it claims? Would you recommend something else?

Artic White, red interior Z51 performance.

<p>I'd be wary of anyone that claims &quot;Beyond 22nd Century Technology&quot;. Member glen e is a detailing guru on the forum. I'm sure he'll be along shortly to give you some advice.</p>

We all look for magic products… Lord , I have a shelf full… But it's really more important about getting the procedure down and then you can use anything here that anybody likes and a few people stand behind. Because they all work well , but everybody forgets that the secret is prepping…get the surface Mirror perfect and then put on the magic product you like. Download my docs if you want , for a procedure .....you can insert your own product from any of the big boys that you like.

Once you get a little familiar with the procedures and the way to apply products, you can step up to orbital polisher's, coatings and a myriad of other ways to go to get more gloss and durability.

Agree with Glen on proper prep of the paint surface. But if want info on Glare Polish go to the car care section there is a whole thread on the product from people who have used it.

Having owned 3 other colors (2 Reds, 1 White & 1 Black) other than my present 2016 Torch Red....the ONLY color that really makes a big difference properly shined up is BLACK....I know....I had one. You can shine it up and it looks great for 30 seconds. You can shine your White Stingray with MOONBEAMS and it always look the same.....Use a good SPRAY WAX and in 10 mins it will look as good as ever...enjoy your car.

I tried Glare on a motorcycle a couple of years ago. Didn't think it was anything special.

But maybe 30 seconds is a bit long. I'll do the trunk lid (vert) and move on to the hood. After the hood's done, the trunk has already attracted crap. So the cycle goes on and on.
