"Glare" ... not so much ...
« Reply #35 on: September 03, 2009, 01:34:39 AM »

I went to the link for Glare (http://www.glare.com/) in order to find out what I was missing. Seems a bit cheesy to me - I know people LOVE it but there is so much wrong with the site I felt I needed to post. I'll list them and feel free to attack the proposed "benefits" of Glare over conventional means:

1. It supposedly contains a new formula (GLASSPLEXIN - registered) that creates (or eludes to create) a glass barrier on paint. Unfortunately - glass is just as susceptable for minor surface scratches as modern paint is.

2. Physics dictates that it is impossible for paint to oxidize "under the clear coat". While I am neither a Chemist nor a Physicist, I would challenge both to disprove my statement. The statement  by Glare implies that the top-coat, or clear, would be perfectly glossy while the under-coat would be oxidized. Oxidaztion is an affect created by UV rays and affects the entire surface of exposure. While Glare states to block UV rays, it offers no test data to support the statement.

3. I was astounded by the video - a buffer being loaded up while the bonnet has been laying on the ground? Even if they didn't use that same buffer in the pic below it (but c'mon - we know they did), the fact that they SHOT a bonnet on the ground tells me they know NOTHING about polishing paint.

To each his own, but in my opinion (and experience) there are no magic fixes for paint. When you see paint that has been finished properly - it looks like no other. It takes a LOT of time, but it's ok! - it's coupled with a lot of elbow-grease as well. I know this is a popular product- and if you order in the next 20 minutes  we'll DOUBLE the offer.... :)

Not me ...

And btw ... my vehicles look like the RIGHT side of the BMW used for beading tests - you know - the one that has the "wet shine"? I saw the left side that is touting Glare and thought ... I could do something here ... ;)

I'm using this kit and I am VERY pleased with the results. It pops the paint like nothing I've used before:

Menzerna to polish when needed and Black Fire about once a month. Detail in between with the Ivory Carnuba spray.

Never have used Glare.  Zaino is not a polish (even though they call it a polish).  It is a sealer.  You have to get the paint looking good and the Zaino products will seal (from the atmosphere) the paint and keep it looking good.  When we have salt on our vehicles in the winter, I can spray the car with water before washing and the paint will bead up thru the dirt/salt.

Polishes/protectants are just like oils, there is probably not a bad product out there today if USED CORRECTLY.

"Polish for perfection, wax for protection".   Remember those words (not mine).

Wise words indeed.
Might be kind of fun to have a "Detail Day" where folks can brings their favorite products and we try them out. See various results, strengths/weaknesses, etc. Maybe pickup some detailing tips along the way.

I'll provide some suds (the consumable type).
