Liquid Glass

[imported_erock]

Anyone heard of it? It comes in a tin container and seems to be liquidy.... I found it at my local Autozone and was curious to know if it was any good......

I used it for the first time in the fall and liked it. I am not as obsessive as most people here so It depends on what you are looking for. We had a pretty hard winter here in ohio and when clean it still looks good. the beading is still just like new. I am not someone that wants to spend alot of time on my car so it was a good product for me. I applied it to the wheels and the liquid glass gave them a very good shine. I also tried their pre cleaner and could not tell a difference after that so I don`t know how great it is.



If you want something that will last for a reasonable price you may want to give it a chance. also it was easy on easy off.

Lots and lots of posts about LG. Please do a SEARCH for info.





For future reference , if you discover a product or brand and wonder if Autopians are aware of it, conduct a search first. Not only will your question be answered but you may learn a great deal about the product or company.



I know the search function is DOA right now but try it when it comes back online.

I`ve used it and I have to say the shine for the amount of work is really good. It goes on and comes off easily too. I like it but think it costs to much for me to use.

Last time I used LG (haven`t used it in almost two years - prolly dried of old age by now) it gave a good shine and lasted better than wax, but for me - it was HARD work to polish it out. Maybe they`ve changed it?

That`s why I`m presently stuck on Zaino. Z is on and off easier than anything I`ve tried before. Of course, when I run out of my present stock of Z... ;)

This is kind of interesting. I first used liquid glass back around 1992 on my Dodge Stealth. At that time, it was supposedly the king of all sealants/waxes, or whatever category it may be in. Everyone raved about it. I hesitated to ever ask about it on this forum because I had never seen anyone talk about it, and thought it was "out of vogue." Anyway, thought it was interesting that someone had asked about it.:up



Also, since I just joined in Oct 2002, I hadn`t seen any of the posts that bretfraz just mentioned.

I tried LG like two years ago as well. I found it kind of difficult to buff off also. As a matter of fact, I have a whole bottle left with their Pre-Cleaner.



I think Klasse is just as good of a polymer as LG and the results are even better.

I have used LG a few times and found it really keeps your car beading for a couple of months. If you read the ingredients on the bottle it also says it has a UV inhibitor in it. I find it strange that they list the ingredients. It was quick to apply and easy enough to rub off. I thought it gave a great shine. Not the wet look most people look for, but really made the car sparkle. It also has a nice minty smell.

Liquid glass is a decent one step polymer. I found it to be easy to use and durable, but does produce a lot of dust upon removal. Since it is abrasive, it cannot be layered. I rank it a notch higher than nu finish overall.



What surprised me about it was when an email back from customer service stated that "....Liquid glass has never contained any abrasives and has never been reformulated since day one...." I just happed to have a over OLD bottle of it laying around.....

The newer bottles from as far back as two years, no longer say micron abrasives though.

I believe they now say ".....contains polishing and cleaning agents...."

I bought a bottle of LG about a year ago, and I still use it from time to time. Like others I found that it goes on pretty smooth and easily, but it really is a pain to buff off.



I mostly use it on friends and familys less cared for cars, which works out great because it lasts longer than carnuaba, and gives a decent shine.

FWIW, Chuck Mallett of Mallett Cars (NE Ohio `vette tuner), who has an extensive background as a HIGH-end car painter, uses Liquid Glass. Applies it to all the C5`s he sells/tunes, topping it with Souveran. He didn`t convince me to use it, though (gave me a sample).

Liquid Glass is great.It is all I use.It is extremely easy to apply and remove.The can says that it has mild inert cleaning agents in it.I emailed the company and they stated that these were used as filler only.There are no abrasives in it.Try it.It is FANTASTIC
