Hey guys, noob to the board. What is the word on street when it comes to Liquid Glass? I started using it in 2001 when I heard about it from fellow car showers. I`ve used a lot of products, and like the LQ. But The Camaro is long gone, I`m out of college and looking to keep my car and the wifes car as protected as possible from the daily driving abuse. I`ve still been using Liquid glass ever since, waxing our cars with it about 2 times per year. I give our cars a very good washing (wheels, chassis, engine & body) about once a month. But I find it very hard to dump the time into a whole 10hr+ day of hand waxing every 6-8 weeks. So I`m looking for a long-lasting protection. FYI we live in FL, we get tons of sun exposure and rain. After spending my whole life growing up in FL, I can see the sun is hte #1 enemy of cars down here. Eats away the weather stripping, plastics, trim and fades the paint and interior. We garage our cars and park in the shade when possible. but I still can`t seem to get more than about 4-6 weeks out of liquid glass. The roof, hood and trunk last the least longest.
From what I gather, some liquid waxes have carnuba and some don`t. Liquid glass falls into the non-wax category right? I know 2yrs ago I tested the NXT (non 2.0, when it first came out) against Liquid glass on the hood of my truck. The Liquid glass outlasted it. I have not yet tried the 2.0. I did work in a parts store during college and try every wax on the shelf. Liquid glass was the best/longest lasting we carried. but that was in 2002. A lot has changed. some I`m tempting to try against Liquid glass:
-NXT 2.0
-Mothers FX
-Mothers Reflections (not sure how the 2 part system works)
-Zaino
I guess I`m trying to stay away from the carnubas b/c putting the step 2 type products on after it is a pain! My other option I`m debating to save time is use a wax-as you dry Eagle one every time I wash the car (once per month) and call it good, and clay bar 1x per year. Sorry for the long post and rant.
