I was reading through some posts over on Autopia and being that im not registerd over there I thought I would ask here!

Whats the craze about this product. THey refer to it being an old product that is not available. However I was able to find a few places on the web that you can order it from!

So I guess my question is ... What is Liquid Ebony? And is it as good as they are speaking of?
 
I got a friend whole details for BMW and he swears by it my question is can it beused with a pc.
 
used it once

A while back we had a SS Impala that was black and really messed up paint wise. I was the one cleaning it and a fellow worker told me to use the Liquid Ebony on it. The bottle looked old but it wasnt dried out. I tried it out and was amazed at the finish it produced. It wont take out scratches or defects but it gave a real nice looking finish to the car. ( I was using a rotary )
Well after the car sat for about 3 days it looked like $h1T!!!!
The mirror finish was gone and all the defects stood out like a sore thumb!!! If I remember right your only supposed to use it on darker colored vehicles. After I saw the results after 3 days I threw the bottle out. I only used it once and it was on a pretty bad looking ride so I guess my 2cents really dont count. Maybe if your detailing well taken care of BMWs you can swear by it but if your detailing dumpy SS Impalas you'll swear at it.
Good Luck
:)
 
WOW!!! THAT STUFF IS DA BOMB!!

If I could find it, I would buy a bottle of it... IMO, there's nothing like it. It is a little watery, slings allot, and it will stain your apron but it will do amazing things with a 9" real Lambs wool pad (the orange ones). Follow it up with Pro Polish #1 using a foam pad and I kid you not you will have a surface sealed so well that it will shine for a year. It also makes an amazing cutting cream for the worst oxidized vehicles when mixed 50/50 with Pro Machine Cleaner #2. Also, on a car that is badly laquer checked, it dries black in the cracks so one can make the whole vehicle shine without the dreaded white fill in that re-painted fender.

Used alone, it's not for heavy swirled vehicles or for badly oxidized finishes because it's more like a glaze (Meg's #3 or 3M Hand Glaze). And you're right, it's mostly us old timers who will know what it is and what it does... please post one of those links you found where one can buy it.
 
I've used it and love it!!! I used it at a detail shop I used to work at. The distributor must not carry it anymore because we have the same one at work and they can't get it. They started to carry this stuff called Vibra-Cut, which I also love, that they stopped carrying and now they do so maybe they'll get some LE soon.

Not sure, I get it through Aratari. It's got their name printed on the bottle, but there's a whole line of products they have like that all in similar bottles. I'll check the bottle when I get back to work to see if there's a manufacturer lablel on it.
