I have not really worth the your time.
Sorry about that. I used the liquid glass product, and it's not worth using.
Liquid Glass is a damn fine product.
It's been reformulated for clearcoats, and is a cleaner polish. It can be layered after each coat cures, it says so right on the back of the can.
It works very well. There's a lady who goes to my church who is 81 now. 32 years ago her now late husband bought her a 1981 Cadillac DeVille. It's pale yellow, inside and out, with a white top. She has used Liquid Glass on it religiously for the last 32 years, and it still looks brand new. The paint, the chrome, the hubcaps, everything. It has never been garaged, it simply sits outside her house (there are a lot of trees around it though).
I've personally used it for nearly 6 years now, on my old Town Car, and my truck. I have not used it on my newer one. It's a fantastic product that creates a very deep, reflective shine. Water just slides right off the paint, there is no surface tension left. If your paint is in good shape (clayed, clean), if you layer it twice, you'll usually get 6 months out of it, more if it's garaged/stored under a carport.
Are there better products out there? I'm sure there are. However, get yourself a bottle, try it out. It's stood the test of time.
"Would you want to use a product from 1982?"
Well by that logic, Meguiars #7, most caranuba waxes, LEXOL, Leatherique, etc. etc. are no longer suitable for use on/in automobiles.
Just because it's an older product doesn't mean it's not good.
Apply Liquid Glass sparingly, but evenly, using a coarse cotton cloth in a straight back and forth movement. Apply one section at a time. The ideal applied surface temperature should be between 50 and 80 degrees. (If any paint color appears on the cloth, it is oxidized paint that must be removed to reveal the good paint layer beneath.) After a haze appears on the surface, wipe off with a clean, dry cloth. Terry cloth or Turkish towel may be used.
FOR REPAINTING ONLY: Liquid Glass may be removed by first washing with a strong solution of high quality car wash detergent, then using 00 steel wool with mineral spirits or Varsol. (This same procedure should be used to remove any wax product from a vehicle before repainting.)
Yes...I think Bob (FUNX725) once recommended Liquid Glass Legend:
I just saw that the 16 oz bottle has a Suggested Retail Price of USD 99.95!
