Applied Glare Pro Polish on my 2 week old Rio Red CVO Road Glide and all I say is this stuff is awesome!!!!!!!!!!  It truly looks like a sheet of glass over the paint,  I used it on the chrome and my new carbon fiber helmet and it all looks unbelievable!!!!!!

Just got back from a ride to dinner.  Rode and ate while you were glaring.  Betcha I had more fun .



(but I got more bugs now too.....)

[Thundercloud]

I average 20-25k miles per year on my bikes, so do my share of riding too. And if you ever do a 700 mile round trip day to go for lunch, then you can claim you ride. But yes I did have fun Glaring the new ride today!!!

Welcome to the board Thundercloud and congratulations on the new sled.

Sounds like you're one of those that is a rider.  I have 30k on my 2010 SESG.  By the way, if you hurry and get packed you can make it to our next big GTG (get together) in Lake Tahoe week after next.....   http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=52512.msg764735#msg764735    

You'll meet some great people, make new friends and ride some world class roads!

Now here's a 5 post rookie throwing it down in front of Twolane. Watch & learn.

It's ok Mark.  He just missed the joke part of the message.  Made it bigger to see it better.  Kind of like an erection.

I'm not trying to upset anyone. Was just saying I liked the job Glare did on my bike. And yes, I guess I am a rookie on this forum, but have been on HDForum for years as well as GL1800 forum.  Just got the CVO, and read about all people that have talked about Glare on here and decided to try it is all.

Not looking to make any enemies on here, just trying to learn more about my new ride from you guys is all.

Thundercloud, never you mind.. glad the Glare worked out well for you. I just bought my first batch last week taking advantage of the Father's Day discount. It arrived today. I think I might try it out before I head out to the West Coast Tahoe GTG.

Happy and shiny riding.

Don't sweat it man.  It takes a lot more than Glare to piss people off around here.  We have moderators for that (damn that outside voice.....).


So; how about a heads up comparison of the Road Glide and the GL1800?  I'm a Road Glide fan.  But never been in the saddle of a Goldwing more than a couple tank fulls in a day and maybe 1500 miles total.  So not at all qualified to speak to them or make the comparison.

Thundercloud,

I did the Glare four step process this spring. It was a commitment. Knockout, Spider, Micro, Polish.  Did pipes and othr chrome, too.  Rode in the rain and bike seemed to shed the dirt more than normal.

Not much success with their waterless detailing Sahara product. I find it requires a lot of elbow grease. Honda spray is sure a lot easier.

I've not been around the forum a long time, but I've been here enough.  We've got a lot of new members, which is vital to the forum's success.  Keep your posts coming. 

[Rooster]

Guess I need to know what the knockout does as I only have the polish, wash and spider.

[JCZ]

For you guys that are using the Glare multi step process....is one of those steps clay barring?

[Twolanerider]

Honda spray is sure a lot easier.

Amen to that brother.  I admire (ok, I think they're OCD has OCD) the dedication of those regularly doing the apparently multi-hour Glare applications.  With the spray I'm done in 20 minutes though.  I may be OCD.  But I'm lazy OCD.

I'm wondering if the newly labeled Honda Spray detailing still includes the ingredient glassplexin?  (the magic in Glare products)  I can't seem to find it mentioned on the new label as it was on the old label.  That's why you must do the intensive Glare polish application at least once per year even if you use the spray as routine clean-up/shine application.  Gotta have the glassplexin bonded to those paint molecules to really get the full experience.  har.  spyder

Have no idea Spyder.  There's no pictures on the spray can ingredients list so I never stopped to read it.  Come to think of it, however, I don't know what a picture of glasspeckerin would look like even if I saw it.  If old Honda spray is what's needed I'm good though.  Case and change still here from my last order three years ago !

My guess is that it's the same formula.  I do believe it smells different as best I can remember.  I've a case of it also, but not sure when they changed....I just remember the old cans indicated that it 'contains glassplexin' and the new ones don't.  I seems to function in a compatible manner with the glare polish on the bike though, so 'never-mind'    har.  spyder  (2Lane, howcum you're not out and about on a scooter today?)

Dealing with stuff in town today.  Tracking down information for upcoming demo on a rental house that was in the zone and meeting with contractors for repairs on another that's not quite that bad.  Going for a spin a bit later though.

The roads are surprisingly clear.  All the traffic in the zone for workers, volunteers and idiots has helped clear the small debris too.  Though not always in a good way.  Not riding in the zone though.  Already had one flat on the pickup.  Riding to clear the head.  Don't need to revisit the mess while on the bike.  Also just way too many sight lines still obscured.

Guess I need to know what the knockout does as I only have the polish, wash and spider.

Knockout is supposed to get the bigger boo-boos. I don't know if that includes deep scratches but supposedly it will cleanup nicks and such. So I would think of it as medium, fine and extra fine cleaning topped off by a polish.

Old and new Honda polish has the same ingredients.  Only difference is the manufacturer.  Old was made by Petro Chemical, who buy the way, makes the HD brand polish.  New Honda polish is made by Amrep.

Here's the MSDS sheet for the old.

Looks like the Harley polish has different ingredients.
