Default Liquid Glass?

Just wondering if anyone remembers a wax, polish, glaze called Liquid Glass.

It came in a metal bottle and had a picture of a red 67ish vette on it.

Somewhere in the late 80s/early 90s that was supposed to be the end all protection. Great stuff, I've heard. I don't even know if it's still available.

What do you know about it on a newer car like ours.?

Liquid Glass is still around and has its fans. Can find it at Pep Boys, etc. It's a decent one-step paint sealant, but the formula hasn't changed or been improved over the years and it generates a lot of dust when you buff it off and it stains trim. Back in the 70's, it was the bomb but there are a lot of better, easier to use products on the market now. Just FYI: Meguiar's NXT synthetic wax is going to be the next new product to be introduced (Feb 2004). Can read this thread, http://www.showcargarage.com/forum/s...5&pagenumber=1 , to see the results of the NXT lab sample "D" on a few Corvettes. Keep in mind, paint prep is important if you want to obtain the maximum shine from your paint.

Arthur, I agree with Sci-Fi Liquid Glass has been around a long time and has not changed much. Paint technology/finishes are changing constantly. Meguiars has been under huge pressure from the professional industry to do the same. Their response is this new product coming out soon. Recently I got a sample from a supply company that cators to the pro detailers. I asked about a catalog, his answer was they can't print one because of how often products are added to their line. (and you thought the electronics field got out dated quick?)You think you guys have too many choices? I attended a Car Brite Seminar in Indy a few months ago, guess how many dressings they carry alone? 65 !!!! just of dressings! man, talk about over kill. This is why I started my clinics, trying to offer simple alteratives in the Maze of car care products offered.
