Got an offer to try to Race Glaze samples. Just wondering if anyone has any experiences with it. Here's the sales pitch I received:



"Our Polish & Sealant, is a true one step - it Cleans the surface (chemically)

of most surface contaminants, Polishes out minor imperfections using a

polishing agent finer than jewelers' rouge, and finally it Protects the surface

for about 4-6 months on average, using a patented resin & polymers.

Our Gloss Highlighter (hi-tech "quick detail" type of product) contains the

same patented resin as the P&S, so it not only cleans bugs, dust, fingerprints,

but also enhances the shine & UV protection - lasts through multiple washes.

Both products work great on black."

Sounds sort of like Klasse AIO + SG to me. I for one don't believe too much in these "one-step wonders" but I'm willing to try it out. If it does what it says it does it could be very promising.



Anyone ever use it before?
 
I received samples of the gloss highlighter, which I liked a lot, and many others..let's see...



Polish/Sealant

Leveling compound

Fast Action compound

Trim/Leather Renewer

Wash soap



I haven't tried any of them other than the gloss highlighter yet. It's been too cold, but this weekend I may get a chance to try some of them...definitely the soap anyway.
 
Race Glaze actually works pretty good. It leaves a nice glossy, slick surface. Its about 10 bucks a bottle in the stores. I was told that it doesnt layer, when you put a coat on, then try to go over it, it removes first one. whether that is true, who knows. but not to bad of stuff.

I recently tried the two compounds/polishes. The Fast Action Compound and a Propel Medium Cut pad did a pretty good job on some scouring scratches on a silver 740 the other day (no pics, cloudy and oooogly, they wouldn't have come out) and I followed with the Levelling Compound. FAC seems on par with DACP and PBs SSR2.5 and LC about the same as Meguiars #82 SFP. FAC does seem to leave the paint better than DACP, I couldn't see any marring under the lighting in the customer's garage.



I'd say the polishes are decent but if you have a lot of other stuff on hand, I wouldn't run out and buy it until you need more product.



The sealant seems to be holding up well, after 6 weeks, it was beading very nicely on the black Silverado SS I applied it to. Appearance seems closest to Meguiars NXT, IMO. Very easy to use, seems to have more bite than NXT or #20 does so it worked well for me as a one step on paint that needs only a very light polishing. Definitely going to reorder when I run out, it will come in handy at the office that has me do one steps jobs on their employee vehicles since NXT just doesn't clean the paint up if it is less than near perfect.



The Gloss Highlighter is an excellent QD, pretty close to Quikshine. I was also testing Z6 at the same time and it is in the same ballpark as well. I may order some more to play around with, but I have a nearly full gallon of QS, so I'm not in a huge hurry.



Overall, I am more impressed than I thought I'd be. Is it the best stuff on the market? No but it is a decent line-up that performs well. The two products I'd say are definitely worth trying are the sealant and the QD. Not that the polishes aren't any good, but I can get DACP and #80 for around $25 a gallon and RG can't compete with that, especially since results are pretty similar, at least based on my limited use.
