I have read all the great things that Klasse products can do but find no references to Liquid Glass. LG is a similar cross linking acrylic polymer which can be layered. It seems that it can also be used on glass similar to RainX. I was just wondering how it compares to Klasse AIO or SG...

I have also tried the LG Pre-cleaner and find it much easier to use than Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion with similar excellent results.

Liquid Glass is good stuff. The edge Klasse AIO has on it is that AIO contains cleaners in it, therefore eliminating the need to use a precleaner. The shine that SG gives to the paint is a bit better than that of Liquid glass, IMHO. But overall Liquid glass is good stuff.

Look here (`http://216.147.22.29/forum/showthread.php3?threadid=1100`) and here (`http://216.147.22.29/forum/showthread.php3?threadid=640`) for a couple of threads in the archives that discuss LG (check out the forum search engine (`http://216.147.22.29/forum/search.php3`), very useful). I`ve used Liquid Glass in the past, but have since switched to Zaino . . . LG shined nicely and seemed to be long-lasting, but it generated a good deal of residue during removal, and was a huge dust magnet for 3-4 days after application.

There are probably more threads out there that touch on LG; I just snagged a couple of obvious ones from the search results.

HTH,

I looked through the archives and found no mention about the LG Pre-cleaner. I tried the Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing lotion and found it fairly difficult to remove. The Liquid Glass pre-cleaner was nearly effortless to remove and seemed to produce as good if not better results. Are these products essentially interchangeable? If so, I would be inclined to continue using the LG Pre-cleaner even though I would use a different topping than LG.

Yeah, initially the Pinnacle lotion was a product that was difficult for me to remove. However, I then just used thinner coats and sometimes use quick detailer in its removal. Thick Charisma towels help out in the buffing process. Laters.

I need a good brush to scrub leather seats with, when using my leather shampoo/cleaner. Anyone have any suggestions? I`ve used just regular vinyl bristled brushes, but they never seem to get the shampoo lathered up like it should be.

Thanks in advance.

I personally never use a leather brush, I just prefer to use a well broken in microfiber sponge to clean the leather, I feel you can dig into the pores really well with a flat MF sponge or applicator opposed to scrubbing.

Just me though.

Well, that`s what I did on my last detail as well and it seemed to work okay. It was hard to tell what it would do on leather that was REALLY dirty though, this was a pretty clean SUV with less than 10K miles on it, so it was relatively clean.

Do you feel like you can really scrub the dirt out with it?

Thanks!

Havent needed a brush yet, done some bad interiors but nothing crazy. Just feel like you can only go so aggressive with a brush, but with an MF pad you can really dig into the pores and not worry about it.

Again this is just me, im odd and do things differently from normal people... :thumbup:

I just bought this one from PAC. It has short natural bristles... lathers very well.

It`s small and fits easily in your hand... and it`s only 3 bucks!

That Garage Store has Griot`s brush, just like that and I almost picked it up. I may give it a shot, just to compare it to my microfiber scrubbing one.

Thanks guys.

Swissvax leather brush is the best leather brush I`ve tried. It is not too stiff, just stiff enough to get the job done.

Great, thanks everyone, at least I see some options out there now.

I have this same brush as well. It does work well. Also is good for getting down in the seams of the leather

Thank you Bill, the same brush I use when I have to clean up some of the worse leather around. Most of the time it`s with the Economy Microfiber Applicator that we carry..http://www.properautocare.com/pkmiappa4.html, like Dave were saying about using a applicator.
