Default ?Glare polish?

Anyone familiar with this?

They claim it lasts 5 years and eliminates the need for wax. Their website is very convincing, but a recent sale made me skeptical.

They advertise a bottle around 40 bucks but had a Spring special with 2 bottles for 55 bucks, and i ordered. After a week, I get an email saying they refunded my paypal and i need to order fom a local distributer, like an AMSOIl deal. (Yikes!!!)

I call the local dist, pretty upset that her link doesn't have the same deal and she offers to honor the deal without hesitation, bringing back my faith a little.

I told her I will post my findings here and plan to, but i am really curious if anyone has tried the product?

Honda was so impressed with this product that they carry it at their car dealerships. The product is re bottled under honda's own name and is 1/2 the Cost ! If you by the honda stuff, Be sure that the ingredents have Glasspixen in them........Then you'll know you have glare under another name

I did my 06 Dodge Magnum With it a month ago. You have to do two coats, Once like a compound job and once lightly like a wax job. A bike would be cake. So far i like it. Not the easiest to use, but not the hardest either

Any white-residue-in-the-cracks followed by toothbrush scrubbing with it?

The rep called me and made good on the offer and it is shipping tommorow. he reacted amazingly well when I voiced my displeasure about the website and turned out to be a harley owner with lots of stuff to talk about once we got back on track.

I heard the same thing about the Honda product but also heard something about theirs being discontinued and the original being better, or something like that. If you buy 2 bottles, it comes out much cheaper.

Apparantly, you only need to rinse off and it stays amazingly shiny for a long time and bonds and protects the paint.

They have all kinds of show cars shown that use it, so I am anxious to try it and compare it to the Eagle nano spray wax I have been using.

I have used the Spyder removal and the polish. It took out most of the scratches (wont take out deep ones). I got it for the swirl marks and it worked as advertised. I would say it protects the paint because I havent changed how I wash my bike and no swirl marks have reappeared. Water is still beading up in the few months I have had it on. Other waxes I have used wouldnt bead up after a few washes.
