I like 303 fabric protector. Makes it smell like a new car as well.
That was the old formula. They came out with a new formula in April. Check their website. They have a whole new line of Scotchgard protectants. I think the cancer issue was for dealers that used it every day.
The 303 protectant works great but is very expensive. You can get a can of Scotchgard for around 4 dollars. The 303 is at least 12.

I used the pump 303 fabric gaurd on my nissan truck cloth and this stuff work very well.The smell is very strong at first but if you leave the doors open for a while it clears out pretty fast.After a day or two I poured a cup of water on the cloth and it beaded like a good wax job.I have never used scotchgaurd so can't comment on it.Good luck have fun

Third application on wifes White 2009 Dodge Journey with Liquid Glass. Pics taken with phone. Could be better
Thought the slickness and shine looked pretty darn good . The reflection in the car is my blue trash can in driveway . Washed it with liquid glass car wash,then chamois and a good wipe with microfiber towel.
Then applied the glass all done by hand . Then let it sit to bake in the sun all day
Total of 2.5 hours on sat. morning. :thumbup:

I have a friend who swears by Liquid Glass. He has 2 Corvettes and a '69 Z/28. None of them has been polished for years and they all look great! He does apply LG frequently. He likes to do it at Saturday car shows.

My nephew Loves Liquid Glass. I personally have never tried it, but he says the finish and longevity are second to none. He said it is tricky to apply. Any comments on this?

Is LG anything like Klasse AIO?

I do not find it tricky to apply although it was a little tougher doing a coat on my F350 dually so iwould say the size of the vehicle will make a difference.
The car needs to be as clean as possible or the Liquid Glass will seal right over it. To me it goes on just ike a liquid polish the less the better . It will haze and so simple to remove.
Liquid Glass does not have a cleaner as does the Klasse AIO.
Liquid Glass is a sealer only it is activated by UV rays and once it is cooked it is hard.
We had a pretty good winter here In St Louis and not to mention alot of salt
the wifes Dodge shows no signs of road rash. I have to say i am very happy with the way it performed.:thumbup:

I was just looking at the liquid glass website and they offer a sealant for a hundred dollars called "Legend" and said that after 25 coats (yikes), that your paint becomes rock chip resistant. A little far fetched for me to believe and I will stick with Werkstat or Duragloss for my sealants, although thinking I need to order some BF wet diamond.

You really do need to try BFWD. You will never go back.

BFWD is a great sealant . I've tried many sealants and this is the best .

Applying sealants by hand or machine ?
Does it make any difference how you apply sealants ?
Will it bond better if you apply it with a machine ?

Waiting for PAC to get the new ONR in and I will order both to try out.

If using Blackfire, I apply by hand. If using Klasse, I apply by machine.

Liquid Glass feedback
Just got a new Audi S5, I was way out of date on detailing products and techniques. But wanted to prepare car for Eastern winter, so researched some sites and feedback on liquid glass looked pretty good. Not cheap, but not real expensive either.
Their instructions makes a real issue for cleaning off everything first, even on brand new car, and guidance was to use their pre-cleaner first.
Originally I was going to use a new car type glaze to clean, but thought it was safer to stick with their system, at least for my first appplication.
Not a good decision. Pre-cleaner was almost imposible to buff off. It loaded up the micro fiber bonnet on my Porter Cable almost immediately and the machine wouldn't really remove cleaner glaze. Trying more pressure just stalled DA rotation. I'm sure those comfortable with a true rotary buffer could get it off, but that's not for me.
So buffed off by hand with microfiber towels. Had to use so much pressure got some light micro scratches on clear coat. Was a real pain. Also, package instructions say use on plastic, no restrictions given. Whatever you do, don't use it on any kind of textured or rough plastic. The pre-cleaner gets imbedded in the texture of plastic and won't come off. Happened to me on black trim at base of windshield under wipers. White chalky residu. I flushed with all kinds of cleaners and solvents. Vacuumed up what I could, and then clayed. But its still a mess. Don't see area unless looking down base of wiper rest area, but I am most unhappy and will never use the pre-cleaner again.
Using the actual liquid glass sealant was a different story. Did by hand again, but it buffed off much easier. Also instructions on sealant say don't use on porus material. Used it on smooth plastic, but finish not as good as on metal, had to really work on some of the plastic. Also, it did leave quite a bit of white residu in margins such as door/trunk/hood gaps. I'll need to go after those with some small tools, or maybe will spray with their quick detail first to loosen it up.
Only had time for one coat as rain was coming, but finish looked very good. A little streaking in places, but not much, so guess pre-cleaner did get off factory and dealer wax products. Then you have to find some good sunshine to get UV cure. Was only able to get about 1.5 hours each side of car early next morning before rain came. But seemed to be enough, water is really beading up on surfaces. I used it on the wheels as well and seems fine there. May over polish with a metal product, but not sure if necessary.
I'll keep using sealant every few months after a wash. But in a year or so when time for another cleaner/polish application, will use something other than the LG pre-cleaner. Any suggestions??
One other negative, the LG website has very little content and I could not find any tips or guidance on use of their products. Maybe its available somewhere, but I sure couldn't find it.

I tried LG years ago and I'm sure I didn't prepare the surface they way I should have so I didn't care for it, however; once you try BFWD, you will never find any sealant to work with easier and awesome slickness. I'm not sure on durability compared to LG but when BFWD is so easy to use, who cares if you have to re-apply it!
