Liquid Glass Legend

Carbon is simply the backbone binding element of any PTFE/Teflon polymer chain. This looks to be pure marketing hocus pocus to me.

My understanding is that all polymer wax products are hydrocarbon based.

Teflon itself is actually a unique Fluorocarbon, but since you can't spread pure teflon on your car, whatever teflon there is in this substance would be applied via a water or petroleum base (wax or sealant). I would expect most of these to be hydrocarbon derived, but I would think it possible to be fluorocarbon based, as well. I know some ski waxes are fluorocarbon based.



I don't want to bash this product, because I really know nothing about it. Some people rave about the original Liquid Glass. However, their marketing tactics with this product leave me with a healthy dose of skepticism.
 
doesnt autogeek rigorously test every product before putting it up for sale on their site? perhaps someone from autogeek will chime in with a review? cant find a review of this stuff anywhere.

Teflon doesn't bond to the paint. If it doesn't bond to the paint I highly doubt that it bonds to polymers either. In most cases the Teflon is used to increase lubrication and probably gets wiped off with the haze. Now if you put your LG coated car in an oven at 600 degree's F you might end up with an super hard shell finish to go along with your melted plastic.

hehe...and bird poo would slide off, just like a fried egg....leather on the inside might be like beef jerky though, from the process :)
 
I wouldn't buy it if it was 10 bucks for 16oz. I'm surprised at the price point and that LG even bothered making this. Their target is people who don't know any better and who have a lot of dough. Or in other words a very small market these days.
