Thought I'd try something new

I'm tired of waxing so I thought I'd try the liquid glass

I don't know if I would trust a product that has no idea what a polish is

My uncle just called me and told me he tried that stuff. He seemed to like it, but he has no idea about detailing.

I'll be interested to hear your thoughts. I've never heard of it.

So I've wiped it off and...wow. It's amazing. It lifts up dirt that you missed when washing the car and leaves a mirror finish. It says not to put too much on but I kept putting more and more I couldn't help myself. I haven't seen my car look this good since I purchased it. Afterwards I drove it around town and I got a lot more looks than I normally do. Also, it's a lot easier than waxing the car that's for sure.

My dad owns a porsche and he recommended I try it out, he says it's really popular in the porsche community. I can see why.

It looks like it might give a Zaino type look with a lot of reflectivity would that be right?

Glad you like it! A little friendly advice, if you missed dirt when you washed the car, and find that you are pulling dirt off when you are waxing, you likely inflicting swirl marks into the paint. Even a slightly hard cotton towel (one that doesn't feel like silk to your skin) will put then pesky micro-scratches in your paint that show up in the direct sunlight. Eventually they will dull the shine.

Take your time washing your car (look up the two-bucket method) and use a product you love often, and you will have great looking Camaro for years and years to come!

Awesome hood, btw.
