Just for the hell of it - - - Chip Foose has won some of the most prestigious design/build awards in the world - - some more than once. What's he using to detail his vehicles for judging ? If you don't like hotrods then how about Arlen Ness ? What does he use ? And so on.

I've made some less than flattering comments on this issue and in rethinking it have this to say

If one of your Glare lovers were to come to my house, wash LD as per the posts on that part of the process, then do the Glare system A-Z I would probably have to admit that everything you say is true. Until such time however as one of you is willing to get a free vacation in SoCal in exchange for however long it takes to do all this (a day ? two ? ) I remain a Turtle Wax lover !

So, is it Liquid Glass or Crystal Glo?  Which one did the best job in your opinion?

Well since everyone seems to say that this Glare stuff puts a shine your bike as if Christ himself annointed it, I'm figure I'm getting good bang for my buck offering a free week in San Diego to anyone who wants to give LD the A-Z Glare treatment. From what I've read you'll be bringing about $200 worth of stuff with you as well as needing a buffer,  a polisher and a bunch of microfibre cloths. I've got the buffer and the polisher and the microfibre so you're only on the hook for the couple hundred dollars worth of Glare products. And when you're done, ole LD will be slicker than snot - - correct ?

Hey B. the glare or Turtle wax shines even better if you finish off with a coat of Pledge. Makes the surface slippery also.

You guys that commented on using Zymol,, if you are using the blue liquid stuff it is a CLEANER OR POLISH not a WAX you can purchase Zymol Wax on there web site. They have several different types depending on what you want to achieve. They are the only ones that I know of that make a True Wax, again I'm not talking about the liquid type. If you want to watch a fly bust his but trying to land on your paint try some. I have been using it on my bike for years. No bug chips and paint keeps a deep glass look to it. I know people have there opinions on what is best and if you like what you use then go for it. I just like adding coats of wax on my paint and adding depth.
