    you can throw out your snobby boutique products now

    "Yep" thats right i found the ultimate 5* review on liquid glass. Had i seen this a year ago i would have saved a lot of room in the garage by using one product

    Reviewer: Obbop from USA

    I hear and read the "professional" auto detailers rant and rave about their favorite products whose end results are "shineier than the sun." Well, what about those preferring paint protection over a shine that disappears so quickly then needs another $100 detail job to bring back? For folks such as I who want paint protection that lasts and who is satisfied with a good but not great shine, Liquid Glass is an excellent choice. Ensure yall read the directions. A little goes a long ways and additional coats do help the protection factor. If thou art one of those nose-in-the-air detailing snobs go play with your fancy hard-to-pronounce waxes/sealants/polishes. U snormal folks will use a product easily used by us normal folks and who care about protection more than some hard-to-define concours shine.

    Re: you can throw out your snobby boutique products now

    First off, I do think Liquid Glass is a quality product.
    While it may not have "snob" appeal, the $23.95 price for 16 ounces of a product that needs to have a cleaner polish at $8.95 for 8 ounces used before application for best results isn`t exactly a bargain basement product.

    $33 will buy a lot of products that would compete quite well with the Liquid Glass.

    I only know of one person that has used the product that you mentioned. His car has ashine to be recokoned with. It is a Black 300c. It was so clean and shiny I had to turn around and follow him home. We talked for about five minutes. We both complimented each other on our vehicles.

    I have never wanted to try the product. That seems odd since I have tried so many products to get to the one`s that I like and support. Obbop`s review may or may not get me to be less of a snob. LOL!!!

    If he wants something with good protection for "normal folk" I honestly think NuFinish is a better choice. Hell, on some of the cheaper details I do for folks, I one-step with NuFinish on a polishing pad with the PC. Good enough to remove the worst of the defects and leave a few months` protection.

    If money and durability is his deciding factors then someone should tell him about Duragloss.
    It cost half as much has a better shine and will last much longer than the LG

    I have a coworker who is in partners with a carwash/detailshop that i tried to get to use PB`s products. He also uses liquid glass/wizzards products. I tried to give some sample products and he declined the offer. he says he likes to use items his customers are familiar with , btw who are all old timers who refuse to change.

    I thought that was Nu-Finish?


    I`ve used liquid glass alot back in the day, i still use it but not as much. Its a good product, it can hang with any of the botique stuff i think.

    Re: you can throw out your snobby boutique products now

    Can you apply it to glass and all trim mouldings
    If not, then it ain`t as good as what I have now and will have in the future
    Car care/detailing sadly isn`t high on the agenda for 98% of australians.

    Re: you can throw out your snobby boutique products now

    I used to use Liquid Crystal, is that close enough to get me in the "used to use Liquid Glass club"? hehe

    Matter of fact, I`m pretty sure I still have a 10-year-old can of the stuff with an inch or so left in the bottom around here somewhere.... heh
