My friend/detailer came by yesterday evening to detail my truck again.I asked him to,so he could apply another coat of LG.For $40 plus a $10 tip,he washed my truck with Meguiars Gold wash,waxed it with LG,did the wheel wells,tires,used Bar Keepers Friend on the windshield,and then Stoners IG on all the exterior windows.I did the interior.Anyway,for $25 he will do all of the above,less the LG part,and the interior too,in the future!

 

do you have a picture of it cleaned? thats sounds awesome

 

I use to use that loved it, switched to some other combo and next wash Im stripping and going back

 

Liquid Glass isnt a wax, its a polish/finish. You might want to put a coat of wax after that. It will help protect your paint and keep your shine longer.

 

Here's my former truck Liquid Glassed:

 

Man... that's still one of my favorite photos of a truck ever....

Blue-- for $40, thats a heck of a deal!!!

Rednoved-- LG is a synthetic-type wax, and it DOES offer protection. Learn about what you're talking about before you speak.

 

Is LG really expensive or something? $40 sounds like a good deal, but not like insanely good, or am I missing something (to me it seems like you can go down to the local car wash and get your car washed and waxed for $40 too?)

 

The $40 was just a second coat of LG.In about 3-5 weeks he is going to do a full detail again,from Dawn to LG,for about $80-$100!

 

f150sport03... I think he called it a Polish/Finish, as that's what the manufacturer calls it.

I would call it a Acrylic coating (similar to Klasse) with some light polishers/cleaners in it. IMHO, because of the light polishes/cleaners (or whatever) in the product, layering is not that beneficial for additional protection. Although, additional coats of the product do change the look of the finish... more than likely because of the polishes.

All in all, LG is a pretty decent product with good durability. However, some folks don't care for the "Acrylic" look.

 

A house call for 40.00 is a great deal, no matter what industry or trade is involved. A house call that you are happy about is priceless.

 

gotcha

 

Hmmm... Maybe I should quit this late-night posting (I know, I say this almost every week because I say something stupid...)

anyway, I went on the LG site before I posted, and I saw the finish/polish thing, but since it does offer protection, I jumped the gun: (see below)

He said it wasnt a wax (agreed there), and that it didnt offer protection... I guess the "no protection: part stuck out in my mind when I posted...

In any case, I think LG has its place on certain cars... One of these days I am going to pick up a bottle of it and use it on someone else's car to play with...

Annybody know what it looks like on silver? Here at work, pictures are almost all filtered out...

 

LG has the best durability out of anything I've ever used. Three washes with Dawn and it still would bead better then NXT does with a fresh coat. You almost can't get it off, lol. My can of LG says to use fine steel wool for removel, lol. Meg's says NXT beads water relentlessly, heh, you haven't seen relentless beading until you seen water bead on LG. Too bad it doesn't seem to do jack for hiding/removing swirls. The pic above was from a truck that was brand new (only had a little over 1000 miles on it when the pic was taken) so just one coat with LG and it was good to go.

I'd definitely have to order some #83 and a cut pad for my PC if I wanted to go back to LG since my truck I have now I got used with plenty of swirls from improper washing that LG just wouldn't cover up like NXT/AutoGlym does. I don't know how that "Acrylic" look would look on my red, but I thought it looked surreal almost like the terminator 2 liquid metal on the Sonic Blue, lol. I don't really have a favorite look, I have from LG to #26 in my collection and they're both just about the opposite of each other, I like to switch it up sometimes and just go with a completely different look. But I don't know how I would beat this on my red though:



That's all 100% done by hand.... Just look at the deep shine, seems like you can just reach in and grab something...heh...I can tell you guys got the drool hangin' from the chin...hehe. That's AutoGlym Super Resin Polish+NXT with a UQD final wipe down. What swirls? Ya, they're there, underneath all the cover up, I've just become a master at hiding them by hand, heh. Gotta order some #83 and just get rid of them.... should 83 be followed up by something a little less aggressive like #80? Think I'll order 80, 83 and all the pads- cut, polish, and finish just to make sure I have all the angles covered, heh. I already have #7 and #9 and they're about as worthless as ScratchX on my swirls, lol.

 

This is a pic of my truck after the first application of LG!
