I am a chemist for Glare and I can say that it is too bad that there are some folks that will bad mouth a product to push their own. Our legal department is already working on it and I am sorry that this is just reality. Perry Stevens

Glare Products
I have been a part of the motorcycle industry since I was a kid and know everybody and anybody in the industry. When it comes to Motorcycle shops, large and small every painter has his preference on product. Honestly, I wont throw out names but I know 3 painters personally that have participated in shows such as pimp my ride, chopper challenge, and overhaulin. All 3 were given Glare Product to use on their finished products, and they were absolutely blown away by the results and now endorse the Glare Professional Polish in their shops as well as using the product as the finishing touch on jobs on TV shows. Let's be honest, most of these guys use whatever is given to them for free or they are paid to endorse the product they use. However, every pro-circuit painter on these shows endorse Glare because it works, and the fact that it comes with a 5 warranty of protection and shine, showing full appreciation for their artistry. I personally have been using Glare for 3 years now, and everyone I ride with now uses Glare. I get nothing but compliments on my bike on how consistently wet it looks, and the depth shine is just surreal. I recommend to anyone who actually loves their paint job to use Glare, it contains NO acrylic ( makes paint crack), polymers or synthetics (plastics), or carnuba ( which actually eats through clearcoat). I love my bike enough to do my homework, and it amazes me the products out there, and the reality of the damage they can do to a $4,000 custom paint job. I don't know about other riders, but I only want to write that check one time and be done.
Locally, I know Laidlaws Harley Davidson carries Glare, but if that is far from you, you can always go to their website: www.glare.comGlare Fan For Life! What is everyone waiting for?

Hey, new guy. Why are you writing in PINK? :nixweiss: :huepfenlol2:
Hmmmmmmmmm
No pink post above Brian's, , , , but below is another story.
Is Brian clairvoyant or what?
Cool deal Brian, you noticed it before he wrote it.
Nothing gets by you HUH?
:2vrolijk_21:
For once Chip is slow to the Finish Line!
this thread has moved well past that issue!
Well tell me the secret.
I been busy getting the scoop on the 09's.
Can't be at both places!
:nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous: :nervous:
Hint hint, you can PM me
:o
The same companyshillrepresentative had made a post prior to 103. He also made one later testifying to his love of the color pink. He pulled them both after Brian's remark and replaced them with the infomercial.
Come to think of it... Hard to trust his infomercial judgment on the Glare products when he likes the color pink so much... :nixweiss:
O
Chit, so much for Brian being clairvoyant!
Thanks!

That post (the one that's now in RED that was in PINK) makes me want to look for another polish. :-\ :puke:
I've been holding out for some Glare...using Maguires in the interim. I see crap like this and it makes me wonder about the true nature of the company.
Sean
Last January I traded in my 1997 Lexus. 11 years of weather, washing, waxing, sun, ice, dew, some salt spray, some road salt, an occasional frisbee bounce, somebody sitting on the fender, leaning against it, all the elements of wear (I have two kids at home if that tells you anything). I waxed it periodically with Meguiar's but I was far from anal. When I traded it the paint still looked fantastic, and not one drop of Glare had ever touched it. Now my question to Glare is this: Why should I spend a lot more money on something that takes a lot longer to apply, when in my experience, NOT using it worked out just fine? Let's say it does do something that other waxes don't. How long would I have to keep the car to realize that?
I've already described my experience with Glare in the other thread. All that work and money and I was left wondering why I bothered? It wasn't any shinier than conventional waxes and seemed to wash off at the first touch of clean water and a soft sponge.
My bike, on the other hand, is hardly exposed to anything like the elements I described above on my car. It sits in a garage, under a cover, never sits outside, never ridden in rain, rinsed off if ever a speck of dirt gets on it. I imagine this is fairly typical of HD owners. So when would the typical bike owner get the benefit of the supposed increased durability and paint protection? How long under those ideal conditions would it take for Glare usage to be justified?
Not trying to be a hard case, but I need to see some justification for the expense and effort that applies in the real world.
And not to add any fuel to the fire,
he may have a point about those blue ones.
I have a blue SERG and it's faster than a red SERG.
I think?
That's only because you retrofit the 09 solar sail. Not fair.
And not to add any fuel to the fire,

I think?
I don't get where it's so hard to use either...the initial application is a little more trouble, but after that, it's no more difficult than any other polish I've ever used.
You know, these "opinions relayed as fact" posts get kind of old. Oil, tires and polishes are all common topics in them. Face it, it is a subjective matter and no matter what font, or color, is used, it is still your opinion and won't change people's minds.
Sooner or later I would hope we'd all learn this little lesson and stop trying to cram one product after another down everyone's respective throats just because someone likes it and has labeled it as "The Best". </rant>

The opinions expressed are those of a mad man, and do not necessarly reflect the opinions of an sane reasonable person.
You Ghosty, sometimes I just don't feel to" fresh" if you know what I mean, thats why I use....... :P
Chief, I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, I find myself being more agreeable with everyone since I switched to Wrangler jeans. They are roomy, comfortable, and durable. I wear them on the bike, at work, or just relaxing with a cold one. It seems like no mater where I go, people are asking me what brand of jeans I wear. They have a 5 year guaranty against fading or dulling, and bugs just slide right off of them. I can even find neutral easier when I'm wearing Wrangler jeans. And don't even get me started about performance and handling. Just switching to Wrangler added 5 hp to my dyno run, and my bike handles so much better when I'm wearing my Wranglers. I'm comfortable in Wrangler.
The proceeding was a Paid Info-post for Wrangler jeans. The opinions expressed are those of a mad man, and do not necessarly reflect the opinions of any sane reasonable person.

My Levis can beat up your Wranglers.

:indian_chief:
Com'on Chief. You know there is considerably more material used in my Wranglers than your Levis. Their sheer weight will crush your puny Levis.
Oh, not so GR. My Levis are made with a 23rd century polymer that repels other denim, and denim-like, textiles as well as providing 400% UV protection. They are, by far, the most superior denim product on earth, and are worn by Lambo and Ferrari owners, which proves their superiority!

Don't forget . . . Honda owners, too! ::) :o

Ok guys, I think we need to stop this.

When someone comes into our world and proclaims they have the best chit in the world, you think we will not question that?
Ok guys, I think we need to stop this.
It's like we're all ganging up on a kid in the School yard!
I have the best chit in the world.
I have the best chit in the world.
"Shines so bright, you'll need sunglasses."
"We burn out the competition."
"Beyond 22nd century technology"
All these quotes are from your website. And they all sound like marketing hype to me. Not factual statements.
Now that's all fine and dandy, but the consumer is ultimately the judge of which product they like. Right or wrong we all buy what we feel is the best product, regardless of the product. TV's, cars, stereos, etc.
I'm sure there are many people who love Glare and will use nothing else. I don't think they are wrong at all. Their use and experience have shown them that Glare is the best choice.
Because not everyone agrees, is what creates the hundreds of wax and polishing products on the market.
Personally, I don't think Glare is a bad product at all. I do think it is very over priced however, and personally I found other products created a more reflective shine.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your continued success.
As long as there ain't no :jack:
OK then, back on topic. Here is a question about the age old dilemma.....
What do you do with a trophy BM? In college you skipped the flush and called all the guys to admire the taper and diameter. Now I live with a wife and two daughters who lack the appreciation.
I have the most amazing story shared by a friend during college (can't verify it it's true). At the next GTG, remind me and I'll share it around the fire.

Then I go and make one too many phrukking posts; type just once too damned often and I lose that great red-ness and turn blue. Turn in to a damn SMURF. This sucks. Damn the website. Damn the color blue. Damn JetBlue and, well, damn damn damn damn damn. That's all I'm saying on the subject. Dammit.

You can only aspire to be GOLD now...
Gold everything Rocks!
Miker even has a T-shirt saying it!
You're in uncharted territory now smurfhead! It'll take another 25k to change to the next color (I think, again, it's uncharted-according to CVO'ers the world is still flat). Better get used to it.
I don't think so Sean. I just looked at the members log and there's already gold. All the moderators are gold. And I dropped that gig like that college BM referenced earlier a long time ago.
Plus this hoary fact, it took me two bikes long to become a dumb-ass-blue-looking-dippy-colored-freaky-phukky Smurf. TWO BIG TOURING BIKES. If that's the pace turning any other color will frakking break me!
Screw this whole Smurf bullchit. I can't stand it. Going to go back in the bowels of the side and start deleting really old posts to keep me red like heaven intended.

That's not Sean. It's his date. He wandered in when the Marine Corp issued Gadar was down. Since he's a communication officer maybe it was sabotage.

My Gadar has a UPS - it NEVER goes down (get it??)....
Man, I am just killing myself today.

I can't believe I just said that to an armed Marine...God help me...At least I made EBCM before Idieddissappeared.
Your GADAR never goes down but your friend does.......
Hey, go easy on the pool boy. It's not gay if you pretend not to like it.
someone hear a phone?
yeah, no worries - sleep light, I mean sleep tight tonight.
Gotta go, have to book a flight.
Good luck, you'll need to call the Air Force to get to Joplin by plane. The local airport turns the runway lights off after the last flight of the day.
Was just reading this thread hoping to find some useful info on motorcycle wax & wax by products........ :nixweiss:
HALO baby...
C'mon, when did a Marine ever need a airport?
Sheesh.
Air Force, Marine, not airport. You need the Air Force.
Please see the Bikini Photos thread for pictures of waxing by products...what...we don't have a Bikini Photos thread, we need one of those. Lets get Jock on that.
Don't need either - we have an Air Wing. Got buds who fly Snakes...oh yeah :bananarock: :bananarock: Little 20mm love.

Ok, can't argue when you're right. Rode in one a long time ago when they all still belonged to the mftr. Everyone held their breath. Have had a couple of more recent rides and it's a cool bird. Have never caught a hop in the big 53 but have had a few rides in the 46. V22 is a lot nicer ride.

...most importantly the paint is UV protected which other products will not do. This is important because once the UV damages the paint underneath the Clear Coat your paint is gone!

Glare Products
it works, and the fact that it comes with a 5 warranty of protection and shine, ...Glare, it contains NO acrylic ( makes paint crack), polymers or synthetics (plastics), or carnuba ( which actually eats through clearcoat).
Last January I traded in my 1997 Lexus. 11 years of weather, washing, waxing, sun, ice, dew, some salt spray, some road salt, an occasional frisbee bounce, somebody sitting on the fender, leaning against it, all the elements of wear (I have two kids at home if that tells you anything).

Not trying to be a hard case, but I need to see some justification for the expense and effort that applies in the real world.
I think the whole 5 year warranty is it what truly inspires confidence in a product, that and I don't have to worry about reapplying product every other month to achieve shine.
... and most importantly the paint is UV protected which other products will not do.
Don't just tell me that my 11 year old car would have looked better if I had used Glare. ::)I'm afraid you just answered your own questions right there Mike. I'm no Glare expert, but I found it to be very difficult to apply (according to instructions), but the results have been very rewarding... :)...especially on the black paint. Yowsa! Deep, deep spectacular shine... :-*...seems to last very well with only light touch ups. :2vrolijk_21: jmho. :drink: spyder
I'm afraid you just answered your own questions right there Mike.
Yeah, but that's a cheap answer, and I want them to know that I know that.
Hey, I know some folks here like the stuff and fine with me. I just don't get the justification for the hype.
If somebody is going to say that their stuff is better than everyone elses, then they need to say why. Not just say it's better.
Glare is like a new religion. It's faith-based, no substantiation needed. Either you believe in Glare or you don't. ;)
