I actually find the Harley polish to be better than anything, but to each his own. I really like the Honda spray polish too. I tried Glare, it's ok.
Hey Air-Cooled, I'm thinking that the Honda spray polish and Glare are the same thing.  :confused5: spyder

I don't think they are the same, Honda spray polish has been out much longer, but I would bet that the primary polishing agent in all of these is the same thing. Carnuba and Zaino are pure coatings with no polish.

I think spyd's referring to the Glare Spray quick polish stuff cleaner, whatever they call it. Even the Glare guy told us they were the same. :confused5:

HeHe!!! No, I think actually you were correct.

Of course I assumed you meant the Glare Spray too! ;)

The older Honda spray quick detail spray even stated on it that it contained Glassplexin.

Well maybe it's not the Spray on quickie chit! I don't know! I don't even wash my bikes, so WTH am I even responding! ::) ::) :nixweiss: :nixweiss: ;D ;D ;D

Actually, there are many references here that I got from other threads, referring to "Honda Glare" so I went to look for some. Here are just a few. I couldn't find Glare Dude's comments, but I remember him chiming in about how they made some things for Honda. :confused5: :confused5: :confused5: ;)

I cant believe you dont have it already. I ordered some the other day. Free shipping, I got the Ultra Wash too. I get it as Honda Glare Professional Polish and Honda Glare Ultra Wash.  they have a license agreement with Honda. Its the same stuff though Heres the link http://www.hondadirectlineusa.com/vtx/index2.asp?ID=711143811

When I ordered Glare a year or so ago. I searched it on the web and found Honda Glare Professional Polish. I buy it for 19.95 a bottle. Its the same stuff. Honda has some sort of licensing agreement with them. Same stuff, less money and you can find it at your freindly local Honda dealer. I get mine from a Suzuki Honda dealer in here in AZ!

Just ordered a bottle of the Honda Glare Professional Polish, and 2 bottles of the Honda Glare Wash, and it came to a grand total of $41.00 with S/H.

Here is the website  www.hondadirectlineusa.com

I have no idea of there is any difference between this product and what you order directly from Glare, but the price is certainly better.

Later,
Ghost

I wonder if GLARE makes that product?  The Honda polish used to be the same as the Glare polish with the Glassplexin ingredient in it.   :-\ spyder

I think you're thinking of the Honda Glare product. This is a different product made by a company right here in Marietta. Two different products. :)

  It all boils down to what you think looks best.  The spray on stuff generally dosen't seem to hold up for me.  I Had a sideline waxing business years ago.  We strictly used the Simonize paste wax.  Time consuming stuff, but it always looked good and seemed to last.
  With my Vette I always used Liquid Glass and have always thought this to be a superior product.  I Forgot about it when I got back into bikes.  You can bet after seeing this thread I am using it from now on.  The new stuff is not always the best.  If a product has been selling for years, it must be good, or it would be gone. IMO.

After hours of reading and my passion for detailing I went ahead and took the plunge with Glare. I don't even have the bike yet and figured I will use this from day one and stick with it, I have used Meguiars for years and did some trial and testing as well with different products so it will be interesting what I think of Glare, it better be worth it for the price.
I thought I made a real good decision after all the reading and then I find this post :-\ I figure I won't be using a whole lot because of using just on the bike, we will see. My latest trial on my KW and my Fifth RV was Marine Polish (Boat Wax) with PFT that I really liked and thought it was much better than my old standby of Meguiars, I do use alot of Meguiars Quick Detail for in between waxes and when I am on the road.

5 pages of this thread & still no good info on which type of snake is best for snake oil.  I will check back later.
