I am considering trying some Glare products. Specifically Liquid Clay and Spiderweb. Anyone have any info or knowledge they would like to share would be great.

Can you post a link to the site where you are finding this product....also love the city that you are in....I stayed at the white barn inn there many years back....still can't stop thinking about lobster rolls :wacko:
 
The link is www.autopolish.net for the products. Thanks for the responses, I am rather new to DC and didn't think of searching. When I have alittle more time I will try and hunt it down.
Thanks for the props on my home town and certainly if you are visiting White Barn Inn is the way to go. I take care of the owner's fleet, most notably his Porche Cayenne Turbo.

Your welcome....I've not used this product but I looked at the web site seems a bit over the top, to the point of unbelievable....looks like the stuff that you see on late night TV....that's just my take on the way they present it on the web site.

When I start reading things like

GLARE Spider fills in permanently, it is NOT a temporary solution - not found anywhere.

Makes me think its a scam...nothing that I have seen dose this
 
I remember a discussion/ruckus about this stuff in the last year. We had a member make some pretty bold claims about it. He's no longer here. I also remember someone doing some rather detailed reviews about the stuff over at Autopia too. The website does make some pretty bold claims - almost reminds me of a "miracle product."
 
I have no experience with these products but from the looks of their website they are a "botique" chemical company pushing high priced products with fancy marketing. Glassplexin? What is that? A gal of their "professional polish" is $269.95 + $15.95. I buy a paint sealent from a supplier that my customers are very satisfied with and it costs me about $22 a gallon. I bet they are making a %500 percent markup on that stuff.

Another giveaway is the claim that the product last 5 years. There is no sealant or wax that can do that. The most you can hope for is 6 months. This is stuff for the new car dealers to use on unsuspecting customers. "You see Mr. Jones, this miracle sealent costs $269 a gallon and our technician has to apply it wearing a spacesuit so that's why we are charging you $600."

Remember, there is no magic in detailing chems. The science is well known. No one has a super secret ingrediant that makes their product "light years" ahead of the competition and "the most advanced on the market". How good a product performs is based on the quality, concentration, and combination of the ingredients. Not an "Ultra high purity metal interlinked fusion of glass particles to Glassplexin forming a unique highly advanced swirl mark remover polish". :horse:

I agree with everything in regards to there being no such thing as a 5yr. wax(not part of my original question ,however) and swirl marks are removed permanently- doesn't account for the new ones that may develop. I was hoping for feedback maybe on ease of use or effectiveness. What I do find intriguing is the Liquid Clay. If this product does what it says it can, I would be happy. Claying can be easy, yet on a light vehicle it can be very time consuming. When we clay we are looking for 99% removal of the contaminants, meaning no orange rust flakes and passes the sandwich bag test.
 
I am pretty sure, that anyone that has been doing our work for more than a couple of months, would be pretty blue eyed to fall for anything like this.
Allthough I would really love for it to be true, that the products could do what they say. ( i await someone to buy and try, and post here)

But my guesse is that would be like owning a magic wand, that you just wave, and abra kadabra, car clean and protected for life, in just 20 seconds, with special bonus, buy now and get a personal chauffeur too.....only 9.95$..LOL
:goodluck::goodluck:
 
I don't know anything about their products, but for my two cents, any company that doesn't even have their own domain name is a huge red flag to me. Contact them at aol.com? If you are serious about doing business on the web and being taken seriously, you do not do this. Ispent a couple of minutes looking for any type of warranty info, but I gave up. That website just makes my eyes tired.

Have you looked intoDiamondite Speed Clay or the Finish Kare decon system?
 
Thanks for the help. I am going to look at the Diamondite Speed Clay and Finish Kare system. Absolutely agree that the preference is to deal with a reputable vendor such as Autogeek. Thanks again for the info.
Once again DC needs the credit for allowing us to share our knowledge in such productive way
 
BUMP

Actually I'm really impressed with it
Ive used micro finish and proffessional polish and after ten washes, the paint is still flawless under all lighting. I just wiped it on by hand and also tried orbital and I had some swirls on the side skirt of my car and it made them all dissappear and I applied pro like a sealant and they still have not come back

Permagard is another that I use and the PD sealant lasts twelve months no problem
Now I'm not a believer in glare's claims of five year protection or this crap that polymers are bad for paint but the results on exterior trims, glass, wheels, plastic and paintwork have me investing in their lineup professionally

Permagard's range is awesome and the reactive polymer is permanent as long as you don't sand the car. Highest quality polymers available

I keep an open mind and go by my testing and not anyone's comments for or against in determining what I buy
Traditional products and polishing I am all for but I also like to fill in and lock those fillers in rather than polish the car all the time.
