..just finished applying Liquid Glass

I just applied liquid glass on my car. I'm not sure if I see a difference or not. This stuff may work better on darker colors though. I'll apply another coat tomorrow and see if that changes anything.....

S100. Go to the harley davidson dealer and ask for it. I know it sounds weird but just trust me, your car will look like you never thought it could. It's been a secret of detailers for years.

IIRC, Liquid Glass is only about $20 at my local paint shop.


Nice Ride

Ok, maybe it's me, but... Is this a paint cleaning/wax, or glass cleaner? The name is throwing me, I just can't figure it out.

If it's a wax type product, it looks awesome. Probably worth the $20.

It's called Liquid Glass. It is a clear coat safe, non- abrasive auto polish/finish product. It contains no wax. It's supposed to leave a glass-like finish . I hear that the more coats you apply, the glossier it becomes. I'll apply another coat tomorrow and see if I see a difference.....

BTW I bought it at Pepboy's for $20. It's more expensive than Zaino($17), which was next to Liquid Glass.

yes liquid glass works very good. one suggestion wash the car then use a clay bar, wash the car again really good this time, then use clay bar again, dry the car with something lint free then apply liquid glass. i know this seems like over kill but it does work.

ZAINO OWNS YOU!

Nice looking fd, I think silver with a front spoiler looks good with a rear one also.

I know my reccomendations of S100 are geting redundant in this thread, but I couldn't resist. Try S100 once, you'll never use Zaino again.

Very nice. I've always liked the silver 3rd gens. I never found one when looking to buy mine so I had to settle for Vintage Red.

anyone here use P&S detailing products? im curious as to how this stuff compares. i discovered P&S while talking to the detailing guys at the porsche dealer around here. it is more of a wholesale "behind the scenes" stuff, but a lot of people who have hookups in the industry use it.

kyle, do you work for the company or something, or did they kidnap your woman and use commission as a ransom? haha.

This is my second sliver rx7. I bought a silver with red interior back in '94, but eventually sold it because it was costing me $800 a month. Now that I'm older, and more established I couldnt resist buying another one. What started the fire was seeing that CYM and Sliver rx7 on the cover of Sport Compact car, the issue that was reviewing M2's products. Once I saw that, I wanted to buy another one. I wanted a silver one again, but nothing was showing up in the classifieds. Just for the hell of it I checked online on Yahoo, and low and behold there was a silver one about 20 miles away from me!! Funny I ended up buying both cars that were owned by women. Go figure.....
