I need to know the order of abrasiveness of the Glare products. Knockout is the most abrasive, the Pro polish is the least and the last coat. Where does Micro finish and Spider fit in the mix.  I bought the kit this summer and have my bike apart now for the winter once-over.  I have some scratches on the side bag covers and need to know the order.  Used the Pro polish on the side covers this weekend and WOW. Very nice.  I like it.  Perry said: knockout, spider, Micro finish, pro polish.  The back of the bottles say: knockout, Micro polish, Spider, Pro polish. Which is it?

LOL, I'm surprised that's what the Glare Guy said.  I've always understood t's supposed to be: knockout, Micro polish, Spider, Pro polish.  Use the Spider (least aggressive), first.  If the scratches aren't bad, that's probably all you'll need.

Below are the directions I received when I did my Skunk.  I was amazed at how it came out with a mirror finish look and the paint colors were intense even if it wasn't in direct sun light. 

THE CORRECT GLARE APPLICATION PROCEEDURE!
GLARE WINNERS CIRCLE, AND OTHER KITS

1 Knock Out
2.Spider
3.Micro
4 Glare Pro Polish
 
In this order you will apply the products in the exact same fashion. Buff into the painted surface with a thick Micro Fiber Towel hook and loop design until the product disappears. Turn over the Towel and use the other side to wipe off the excess. Use a new Micro Fiber Towel with each of the products mentioned above. After you finished using the four products as described you will then go over a second coat only with the Glare Pro Polish. Rub in this time but not until the polish disappears. Let it dry to a haze! Do the whole vehicle without buffing the haze off. When you are finished with the vehicle at that time wait 30 min. then buff to a shine with a new Micro Fiber Towel. Do not get water on the Vehicle for 24 hours as it has to cure, and also do not ever put any other products over the Glare except a Glare product as the Glassplexin does not mix with Silicones, Waxes, and Polymers. Very important on this point. If you want to apply another coat of Glare you can do this without any problems to fill in new scratches. As you know when you drive any vehicle on the road the dirt from the highways will make new scratches so we suggest you put on a new coat of Glare every other month. You will not need to go over the 4 step ever again unless your paint got keyed or vandalized etc.
 
Hope this helps.

There you have it. That's the predicament I have too.  Which is it?  I guess I'd go with Perry.

From the Glare website (http://glare.com/products.php):

"GLARE Spider (12 oz. bottle)
GLARE SPIDER with Glassplexin is the most advanced swirl removing product ever created. Utilizing a unique chemical process of ultra pure metal interlinked fusion to Glassplexin particles, GLARE SPIDER will physically and chemically remove circular swirls and the appearance of spider webs in the paint, including on black paint even when viewed in direct sunlight. GLARE SPIDER is not a cover up product, but a technologically advanced swirl removal solution that will permanently correct 99% of the swirls that appear in your paint which are caused by automated carwashes, hard water, dust, and dirt. Unlike other products that are sold as swirl remover products, GLARE SPIDER actually works and does exactly what the label says it will do. GLARE SPIDER will correct even the heaviest level of swirls and should always be followed with an application of GLARE MICRO-FINISH or GLARE PROFESSIONAL POLISH. GLARE SPIDER has been designed to also work excellently on plastic too! Truly Beyond 22nd Centu... View Detail"

That's what I read too. Still confused.

I guess what I posted agrees with what Perry told Frankcsal, or you could also interpret it that you can go straight from Spider to the Pro Polish.  I just know I've had scratches in the clear coat that Spider wouldn't touch, but that Micro-Finish totally eliminated.   So, I'm sticking with what I posted earlier.
