................................................
the bikes are waxed once a month (or more)
the 4 wheel vehicles once a month (or less)

OK, I'm confused again.  The Glare guy claims the stuff doesn't wear off, lasts at least five years, permanently bonds with the paint, and doesn't wash or wear off.  If that is the case, and you add another layer of this stuff every month, won't you eventually cause some parts to become so big they no longer fit properly?  If you did that for five or ten straight years, how much weight would you be adding to the bike?  Would it become necessary to upgrade the tire load rating?  Inquiring minds want to know. :confused5:

Let's do the math on this!

4 bikes         X 3 hours = 12
2 scooters    X 1 hours =   2
1 trailer        X 6 hours =   6
1 In Line       X 2 hours =   2
1 truck         X 4 hours =   4
1 Mustang     X 4 hours =   4
1 Merc          X 4 hours =   4
1 tractor       X 3 hours =   3
2 Jim's bike    X 3 hours =   6
1 Scott's bike X 3 hours =   3
1 Jeff's bike   X 3 hours =   3

Total hours
per week                        49     

Do you do anything on the weekends besides wax on / wax off?

I've never used any Glare products, but I keep reading all these good things from members on here.  It sounds like it's a good thing, and when I go thhe Glare website it says it lasts 5 years.  I find it hard to believe anything I put on my bike will last 5 years.  So, those that use it, how often do you do it?nnIf the Glare guy is still around, feel free to chime in.
Glare does last actually longer than 5 years tested by Boeing, and other numerous lab reporst around the world. Yes it does last however as we all know including myself as a Harley rider dirt and debris hit your motorcycle anytime you ride. So you have new scratches that need fixen! We recomend after every long hard ride just put a thin coat of Glare on to fill in the new scratches etc. As far as the shine, sheeting water and Gloss is concerned yes to your question Glare does last 5 years. Take care and you can call in your order for a 15% Fathers day discount sale starts today on all orders $90.00 and over and your regular 10% CVO Harley disount still applies to all order under $90.00. God bless, and ride SAFE. Remember God loves you and so does your family!!
