How long does Glare last?
« on: February 04, 2011, 11:18:58 AM »

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.

Not many 110's have lasted 5 years.
Just sayin, , , ,

I use Glare Spyder a couple times a year to get rid of scratches and then follow up with the polish. I guess five years would be good if the bike was in a collection and not ridden.  Doc

The initial application takes the longest, but once that is done, a touchup once a year is generally good enough, and easy to do.  If you have small swirls/scratches, so as Grandpadoc mentioned and use the Spyder first, then the polish.  From my experience, it actually helps protect the paint once applied, and sure makes getting the bugs off easier.

It's little known to history because Josephus' account is so discounted and seemingly incomplete.  But Herod had the floors of Masada covered in Glare well before the Sicarii took the place over.  Then when archeologists began uncovering the site in 1963 they still all went blind from the shine.  That's some good chit.

It is also a little known fact that NASA uses Glare to polish and protect the Space Shuttle Tiles to reduce both friction and heat upon re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere.  It penetrates the molecular structure of the ceramic to ward off damage to the surface of the tiles, but unfortunately does nothing to keep them from coming unglued.  It also makes the Shuttle more visible to the naked eye while in orbit...however, the best thing it does for the Shuttle is help the maintenance guys get all the friggin' Love Bugs off the front and bottom of the Shuttle when it lands in Florida...

Holy crap!  I guess I need more bikes/cars/trucks!  I'm still on my first bottle, ever, and probably got half of it left, easy!
