The polish is what you'll use the most....esp. if you're going to do a large surface like a boat.  Stuff's not cheap.  spyder

I assume you'll be slipping across the border to grab yours as well, let me know where you got it so I can go there too!

'glare-smuggling'.....a new occupation for the pirates amoung us    har.  spyder

Well after all the hype I've read here but still with some doubt I found a local dealer & bought a bottle of Glare - $39.95 - wow this stuff better be good for that kind of $$ - followed the instruction to the letter & what was the result…………….without a doubt I'm converted - I didn't say a thing to my wife about polishing the girl with the new nectar - but she walked into the garage & said 'what have you done to your bike? - why love? - 'did you wash it or something as I've never seen it look so bright - even better than when you brought it home new'

The SG (which I had always kept fastidiously clean) has a new lustre that it has never had before - It really is a shock to stand back & notice the difference - almost a shame to put the bike cover back on.

So there you have it - another happy Glare ambassador.

It is expensive.  But, it will put a smile on your face and.......it lasts longer than any wax I've ever used.  Ride safe.  spyder

The stuff is insane.  I traded my wife's car for something newer, but used, a week ago.  Only 6,000 miles on it, but some people can really beat the pi$$ out of stuff in a very short time.  There were some scratches in the hood that I thought I'd have to live with, but 2 applications of Micro Finish with the orbital last night proved otherwise.

Get some Spyder too, it takes the scratches and blemished out of the clear coat real nice for the polish to do its magic. Doc

Oh, I know all about the Spider and it's next.  I told the wife to come out and look because I couldn't believe my eyes and then told her, "... and I'm not even done yet!"

OK, so do you have to apply glare after every wash or does it last for a few washes before needed to be re-applied?

I guess it depends on the type of soap/detergent that you use.....I use the glare wash now and I only re-apply the glare polish after many washings.  spyder

What is the Spyder..?

[roadking71865]

Spyder is the least abrasive of the polishes.  It's the one you use right before the polish.

Probably, if you use something like Dawn dishwashing liquid, it would strip most anything off the paint.  But, if you use a quality wash product, the Glare won't be removed from normal washing.  It's not like wax.

The Glare wash is really good stuff.  I used my bottle up, so ordered some of this stuff while I was getting a couple of other products from them:  http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/car+care/car+washing/car+cleaners/car+wash%2C+16+ounces.do

It's really good stuff... the product description is dead on.  It's the most slippery feeling product I've ever used.  I washed my filthy white car with it, and was amazed at how it lifted the dirt/grime off with very little effort.  Their microfiber mitts are really nice too.  I used to think microfiber cloths were pretty much all the same until I ordered three of their Blue ones...there is a HUGE difference from any other cloths I own, and I've got a stack of 'em from various sources. Griot's stuff isn't cheap, but thus far, everything I've gotten from them has been the very best I've used.  Nobody can beat the Glare polishes though, IMO.  And it lasts much, much longer than any wax you've ever tried.  It really is like it goes down into the paint...sounds like snake oil, but it's for real.
