Well yesterday my 19yr old nephew got his first car, a 8cyl 90 Ford Mustang GT it's red. He also brough a can of Liquid Glass to get his "SHINE ON". Well after a search here there is no info., on it. Since I've always seen it on the self in auto stores, I could never justify the price, now it's $18. So if any of you in Autopia community have used this please give your opinions. Or, should he return it. The paint is in decent shape so it will take a shine.

Thanks for all input..

I use it on my 2000 Tahoe and 2004 DeVille DHS. I love the stuff. The best results are obtained when the instructions on the can are followed.

I have the pre cleaner and its way better IMO than ssr's. its green and has some cut to it. You can put in on almost everything. I belive the bottle you are talking about is a square tim car with a 50's corvette on it. It does leave some dusting behind but it suspose to holf up for atleast 3 months. Autogeek.net has it.

Yup, that's the one, the description is right off the can. I just need the Autopian view of the product. This is one you can't hit the search feature for, it just might be "OLD SCHOOL" for the pro & novice alike.

Thanks chml17l for the link, it looks like a good winter poly to use under 845 IW. Everyone raves about the protection against winter salt, road tar and crud. The " Looks pretty good "shine is iffy, between nice to decent no head turning WOW effect. It's the durability that makes it go..

I just LOVE this site.

LG has been out for a long time. There are better products out there that take advantage of newer technology breakthroughs. It is a decent product, and has good cleaning so is good to use on older paint that needs to be spruced up a bit. I always preferred nu finish to it though.

I've used Liquid Glass for a few years now, and there are a few things I'll emphasize about it's use. These are mostly included the directions Liquid Glass provides but it doesn't hurt to expand upon it:



1) Use their Pre-Cleaner. It is a great product. After it's use and before applying Liquid Glass make sure you have a glass smooth surface. A clay job before using the Pre-Cleaner would help.



2) Use very thin coats. If you have streaking or dusting, you are probably putting it on too thick. Or, the streaking could be caused by not letting it cure long enough.



3) Apply the Liquid Glass in a back and forth motion as opposed to a circular motion. Then, on your first coat go back over the same area before it dries 90 degrees to your original application with very little product added to the pad. This is really just to make sure you get good coverage on the first coat.



4) Your surface should already be clean and shiney so putting the Liquid Glass on is not to polish. Therefore your application strokes should be firm to insure coverage but light. Don't scrub it in for it's application or removal. Liquid Glass is very easy to remove when dried adequately.



5) Allow at least 4 hours between coats and it is best to let the car bake in the sun between coats. Allow the car to cool in the shade for about 30 minutes before applying the next coat.



6) The intital application should consist of at least 2 coats. The more the better the protection and the paint takes on more and more of a wet look with each additional coat.



7) At least once a month, apply a follow-up thin coat. I try to do this after every other car wash but my cars are outdoors 24/7 and need all the protection I can give.



I find Liquid Glass to be one of the easiest products to use.



Bird crap and dead bug removal is very easy. Just use a damp cloth or quick detailer and it's like they've never had time to dry.



I also put it on my windshield. It doesn't flow off like Rain-X does but the blades seem to clean road grime off much easier with a Liquid Glass coating.
